Tooth brush having improved efficiency of gingiva massage and plaque removal}

The present invention (Disclosure) relates to a toothbrush having improved gum massage and plaque removal efficiency, specifically, it is possible to obtain bristles of various elasticity and strength with a single toothbrush, and the effect of the gum massage and soft bristles by soft bristles It is possible to remove all of the plaques, and it is possible to evenly brush the entire complex oral structure, so that the same brushing effect as a toothbrush with various types of brush heads can be obtained, and improved brushing effect for users with incorrect brushing habits To provide a toothbrush, which can provide a gum massage and improved plaque removal efficiency.

Here, the background arts of the present invention are provided, and they do not necessarily mean the prior art.

Toothbrush is a very important tool to keep your teeth healthy by brushing your teeth. Correct brushing for oral health includes not only removing food waste, but also removing plaque. In addition, it is necessary to maintain the cleanliness and health of the gums that support the teeth.

Hard bristles are useful for effective removal of plague and food debris, all stages of plaque formation. However, hard bristles can damage the gums and cause bleeding between the teeth and gums.

On the other hand, in order to maintain effective gum health by applying gentle force to the gums, a soft brush head is useful. However, when the bristles are soft, it is not suitable for users with many tartars, and there is a problem that it is not effective in removing foreign substances between the gums and the teeth.

In addition, brushing in various directions is required according to the position of the teeth for correct brushing. However, the oral structure of the human body, including the teeth, is a very complex three-dimensional shape. In addition, each person has a slightly different oral structure and different brushing habits. Since the user cannot brush while observing the naked eye, the brushing of a specific area may not be correct depending on the brushing habits of the user.

On the other hand, commercially available toothbrushes have various shapes, such as different heights of the tip of the bristles or tilting the bristles themselves. In addition, depending on the thickness and strength of the bristles, it is sold in various ways, such as fine hair, ultrafine hair, and high elasticity.

However, such a toothbrush has limitations in enabling effective brushing for a particular complex oral structure as a whole. Since the bristles of specific elasticity and strength are planted at a specific angle, it is impossible to provide an effective brushing effect to all users.

In other words, it is possible to provide effective brushing effect regardless of various oral structures and incorrect brushing habits for each person.In particular, development of a toothbrush that can realize both strong bristles required for removing plaque and soft bristle effect to improve gum health This is necessary.

In addition, the terms used hereinafter are selected for convenience of explanation, and therefore, in grasping the intrinsic technical idea of the present invention, it is not limited to the dictionary meaning and appropriately interpreted as a meaning consistent with the technical idea of the present invention. It should be.

1 is an enlarged perspective view of a head part including a support protrusion and an embodiment of a toothbrush with improved gum massage and plaque removal efficiency according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view illustrating the configuration and function of the support protrusion according to the present invention .

Referring to FIG. 1, the toothbrush having improved gum massage and plaque removal efficiency according to the present embodiment includes a handle portion 20, a headrest 10, a support protrusion 13, and a bristle 11.

The handle 20 is a structure that the user grips.

The headrest 10 is disposed at one end of the handle portion 20 in a plate shape.

The support protrusion 13 is formed of a plurality of materials having different elasticities. It has a hollow pillar shape with a hollow portion 12 inside, and is formed on a wide surface of the headrest 10.

The bristles 11 are fixed by disposing an end portion in the hollow portion 12.

The support protrusion 13 may preferably include a first material 13-1 and a second material 13-2 less elastic than the first material 13-1. In addition, the first material 13-1 and the second material 13-2 can be adhered to each other to form a single structure, or separated from each other to form a plurality of independent structures.

In addition, the toothbrush with improved gum massage and plaque removal efficiency according to the present embodiment may include support protrusions 13A and 13B of different heights.

The support protrusions 13A and 13B of different heights have different heights to support the bristles 11. The height supporting the bristles 11 determines the displacement range of the bristles. By arranging the support protrusions 13A and 13B of various heights on one headrest 10, it is possible to evenly brush the entire tooth structure of a complicated irregular shape.

Referring to FIG. 2, the first material 13-1 having high elasticity is deformed and protrudes outward by the first force 14-1 applied to the bristle 11.

As described above, the first material 13-1 has greater elasticity than the second material 13-2. Pressure is applied to the bristles 11 while the user is brushing his teeth to bend. The curvature of the bristles 11 applies forces 14-1 and 14-2 from the inner side to the outer side to the support protrusion 13. The first material 13-1 stretches and contracts outward by stretching and contracting in the direction in which the first force 14-1 is applied. The deforming protruding action of the first material 13-1 causes the bristles 11 to bend more, so that the tip of the bristles 11 sweeps the wider tooth surface.

On the other hand, the second material 13-2 is less stretchable than the first material 13-1. Even if the second force 14-2 is applied by the bristles 11, it does not stretch or deform or is smaller than the amount of stretch of the first material 13-1.

Therefore, the toothbrush with improved gum massage and plaque removal efficiency according to the present invention, the amount of expansion and contraction of the support projection 13 varies depending on the direction of the forces 14-1 and 14-2 applied to the bristles 11 during the brushing process. As a result, the range in which the bristles 11 brush the teeth is widened, and the curvature of the bristles 11 is varied.

That is, when brushing teeth using a single toothbrush, both the gum massage effect and the plaque removal effect are possible.

In addition, even if the same bristles 11 are worn on one toothbrush, the same effect as the toothbrush on which various types of bristles are worn can be obtained.

3 is a view showing a first embodiment of the supporting projection according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the support protrusions 13 according to the present embodiment, the first material 13-1 and the second material 13-2 alternately along the columnar outer circumferential surface of the support protrusion 13 Can be deployed. The 1st material 13-1 and the 2nd material 13-2 arrange | positioned alternately expand and contract in different sizes according to the direction of the force 14-3, 14-4.

In the general brushing method, the user grasps the handle portion 20 and reciprocates the headrest 10 in a specific direction. When the user reciprocates the headrest 10 along the directions of the forces 14-3 and 14-4, different brushing effects can be obtained according to the direction of the reciprocating movement.

4 is a view showing a first embodiment of a plurality of material arrangement combinations of the support protrusions of FIG. 3.

Referring to FIG. 4, the arrangement directions of the first material 13-1 and the second material 13-2 according to the present embodiment may be arranged differently depending on the position of the support protrusion 13.

The first type arrangement A shown in FIG. 4 has the same arrangement direction of the first material 13-1 and the second material 13-2 of different support projections 13. In this case, in order to obtain a different brushing effect, the reciprocating direction of the headrest 10 itself must be changed.

In the second type arrangement B shown in FIG. 4, the arrangement directions of the first material 13-1 and the second material 13-2 of adjacent different support protrusions 13 are different. Even if the reciprocating direction of the headrest 10 maintains a specific one direction, the elasticity of the supporting projection 13 is different. Therefore, the bending characteristics of the bristles 11 fixed to each support protrusion 13 are changed, and different brushing effects can be obtained.

 The bristles 11 are fixed to the hollow portion 12, and the hollow portion 12 is fixed to the headrest 10. The force applied to the bristles 11 depends on the reciprocating movement of the headrest 10. In order to change the reciprocating direction of the headrest 10, since the gripping type of the handle portion 20 or the reciprocating direction of the user's arm must be changed, gargle becomes very cumbersome.

By fusing various combinations of arrangements (A, B) shown in FIG. 4, even if brushing while maintaining a specific angle, if the first material 13-1 and the second material 13-2 show different stretches, the bristles are The flexural and elastic properties of various appear.

In addition, referring to FIGS. 3 to 4, it is possible to provide a more improved brushing effect to a user having an incorrect brushing habit.

5 is a view showing another embodiment of the headrest in the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, in the headrest 10 according to the present embodiment, a plurality of materials including a plurality of materials 10-1, 10-2, and 10-3 having different stretches are alternately stacked.

As the protruding direction of the support protrusions 13, 13A, 13B in the brushing process is bent, the displacement range of the bristles 11 can be expanded more randomly.

In addition, the headrest 10 may further include a massage protrusion 10-4 formed on the opposite side on which the support protrusions 13, 13A, and 13B are formed. The massage projections 10-4 have an effect of massaging by applying pressure to the gums during the brushing process.

On the other hand, the support projections are arranged on one side based on the headrest, and the massage projections are formed on the back surface, and the support projections and the massage projections are preferably arranged to correspond one to one.

In this case, the bristles that are planted inside the support projection are fixed to the massage projection.

According to this, it is possible to alleviate an increase in the thickness of the headrest for bristles.

This can improve an uncomfortable feeling of use (eg, the movement of the headrest in the mouth is not free, or a problem that stimulates cheeks) that may occur as the thickness of the headrest increases. Of course, it also has the advantage of forming a beautiful appearance by the thin thickness of the headrest.

6 is a view showing a second embodiment of the support projection according to the present invention, FIGS. 7A to 7B are views showing an embodiment in which the support projection of FIG. 6 is embedded in the headrest.

Referring to FIG. 6, the support protrusion 13 according to the present embodiment has a triangular shape facing along an outer circumferential surface of a columnar shape, and includes first and second materials 13-1 and 13-2 having different stretches. ) Are alternately arranged.

As described above, the first material 13-1 has greater elasticity than the second material, and as it moves in the protruding direction of the support protrusion 13, the degree of bending of the support protrusion may increase non-linearly.

Referring to Figures 7a to 7b, the other end of the support projection 13 is disposed to be buried on one side of the headrest 10. At this time, the hollow portion 12, extends to the hollow portion 12 includes a hair ball formed by recessing one surface of the headrest.

Since the support protrusion 13 is disposed by being buried in the headrest 10, the bristles 11 can also be buried and fixed on one side of the headrest 10. Therefore, the height of the tip of the bristles 11 exposed in one direction may be lowered.

7B, the headrest fixing plate 10-B may be formed of the same material as the first material 13-1. The headrest fixing part 10-B fixes the position of the first material 13-1, and can prevent the second material 13-2 from coming off.

The support protrusion 13 can keep the height of the bristles low by lowering the buried position of the bristles by the recessed depth. On the other hand, the head restraint and the head restraint have the advantage of maintaining the elasticity of the buried support protrusion 13 while fixing the position of the support protrusion.
