Description

항균성 칫솔 {ANTIBACTERIAL TOOTHBRUSH}Antibacterial Toothbrush {ANTIBACTERIAL TOOTHBRUSH}

본 발명은 항균성 칫솔에 관한 것으로서, 칫솔의 칫솔모 형성에 있어서 합성수지와 정제된 은(銀) 분말을 혼합 형성함으로써, 은(銀)이 가진 항균 작용으로 칫솔의 사용시 또는 보관시에 세균의 증식을 막아 이들 세균으로 인한 각종 질환을 예방할 수 있도록 한 것이다.The present invention relates to an antimicrobial toothbrush, which is formed by mixing a synthetic resin and purified silver powder in the bristles of the toothbrush, thereby preventing the growth of bacteria during use or storage of the toothbrush due to the antibacterial action of silver It is to prevent various diseases caused by these bacteria.

은(銀)은 예로부터 장신구 및 공예품 뿐 아니라 공업전반에 걸쳐 널리 사용되어온 귀금속으로서 전성(展性)·연성(延性)은 금(金)에 이어 크며, 열, 전기의 전도성은 금속 중 최대이다. 이러한 공업상의 용도 외에도, 은(銀)은 인체에 해를 주지 않고 병원균을 제거하는 독특한 항균능력으로 인하여 각종 식기 및 의료용구로 사용되어 왔으며 페니실린과 같은 항생제가 개발되기 전에는 천연 항생제로 사용되기도 하였다. 특히, 은(銀)은 천연물질로서 합성 항생제와 같은 부작용이나, 세균의 내성을 일으키지 않는 장점이 있다.Silver is a precious metal that has been widely used not only in ornaments and crafts but also throughout the industry. The malleability and ductility of gold are high, and the thermal and electrical conductivity is the largest among metals. . In addition to these industrial uses, silver has been used for various tableware and medical devices because of its unique antibacterial ability to remove pathogens without harming the human body. It was also used as a natural antibiotic before the development of antibiotics such as penicillin. In particular, silver (銀) is a natural substance has the same side effects as synthetic antibiotics, but does not cause resistance of bacteria.

현재까지 은(銀)의 단세포 병원균 살균작용에 대한 정확한 상관관계가 밝혀지지는 않았지만, 단세포 병원균의 신진대사(소화, 호흡)작용을 하는 특수한 효소에 작용하여 세포의 활동을 무력화시키거나, 금속의 은(銀)이 방출하는 은이온(Ag+)의 전기적 부하가 병원균의 생식기능을 제거시켜 결과적으로 병원균을 살균한다는 것이 가장 유력한 학설이다.To date, the exact correlation between the sterilization of single-cell pathogens of silver has not been established, but it acts on special enzymes that metabolize (digestion, respiration) of single-cell pathogens, incapacitating cell activity, The most probable theory is that the electrical load of silver ions (Ag +) released by silver removes the germ killer's reproductive function and consequently sterilizes the pathogen.

이러한 은(銀)의 효능은 고대로부터 이용되어, 고대 그리스인들은 은식기를 이용하여 음식물의 부패를 방지하였으며, 서부 개척시대 미국에서는 은동전을 넣어 우유를 살균하기도 하였다. 또한 본초강목에 의하면 은(銀)을 몸에 지니고 있으면 오장(五臟)이 편안하고, 심신이 안정되며, 사기(邪氣)를 내쫓고 몸을 가볍게 하여 명을 길게 한다고 기록되어 있고, 동의보감에 의하면 은(銀)은 간질 및 경기 등 정신질환과 냉 대하와 같은 부인병 예방 및 치료에 효험이 있다고 되어 있는 등, 동양 의학에 있어서도 은(銀)이 애용되어 왔음을 알 수 있다. 현재에도 은(銀)은 화상치료 등 의료 분야 뿐 아니라 정수기, 매연제거 필터 등 환경분야에 이르기까지다양한 분야에서 쓰이고 있다.The benefits of silver have been used since ancient times, and the ancient Greeks used silverware to prevent food spoilage. In the West, in the United States, silver coins were used to sterilize milk. In addition, according to the main tree, it is recorded that if you have silver in your body, your five intestines will be comfortable, your mind and body will be stable, you will be able to drive out morale and lighten your body and lengthen your life.銀) is known to be effective in preventing and treating mental diseases such as epilepsy and game and gynecological diseases such as cold sores. Currently, silver is used in various fields, not only in the medical field such as burn treatment, but also in the environmental field such as a water purifier and a smoke removal filter.

일반적으로 칫솔의 칫솔모는 나일론 등의 합성수지를 가열, 용융하고 방사노즐을 통해 압출 성형하여 제조되며, 이들 합성수지모를 일정량씩 묶어 칫솔모 다발을 구성하고, 이를 칫솔대의 홀 속에 식모하게 된다.Generally, the bristles of a toothbrush are manufactured by heating, melting a synthetic resin such as nylon, and extruding them through a spinning nozzle. The synthetic bristles are bundled by a predetermined amount to form a bristle bundle, which is planted in a hole of a toothbrush.

이러한 칫솔을 사용한 후 그대로 보관하게 되면 칫솔모의 물기가 마르는데 상당 시간이 소요되게 되며, 사용하는 과정에 촘촘한 칫솔모 사이에 낀 음식물 등은 물로 수회 이상 세척하여도 제거되지 않는 경우가 많다. 이 경우 칫솔모는 적절한 수분과 영양분을 함유하게 되어 병원성 세균들을 비롯한 각종 세균들의 훌륭한 서식처가 되며, 가정에서와 같이 여러명의 칫솔을 한데 모아 보관하게 되면 칫솔을 통하여 각종 질병이 전염될 수 도 있다.If the toothbrush is used and stored as it is, it takes a considerable amount of time to dry the bristles, and foods stuck between the dense bristles in the process of use are often not removed even after washing several times with water. In this case, the bristles contain proper moisture and nutrients, which is a great habitat for various germs including pathogenic bacteria, and when a group of toothbrushes are stored together at home, various diseases can be transmitted through the toothbrush.

이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 자외선을 이용한 칫솔 살균기가 개발되어 시판 되고 있으나, 반드시 칫솔 살균기 내부에 칫솔을 보관하여야 하고 전원이 공급되어야 하기 때문에, 여행 등 칫솔을 휴대하여야 하거나 전원이 공급되지 않는 곳에서는 사용할 수 없는 문제점이 있다.To solve this problem, the toothbrush sterilizer using ultraviolet rays has been developed and marketed. However, since the toothbrush must be stored inside the toothbrush sterilizer and the power must be supplied, the toothbrush must be carried or used in places where power is not supplied. There is no problem.

본 발명은 상기한 문제점을 감안하여 창안한 것으로서, 그 목적은 별도의 전원이나 약품 등의 처리 없이, 칫솔 자체에 살균효과를 갖게 하여 세균의 번식을 억제하고, 세균으로 인한 질병을 예방할 수 있는 항균성 칫솔을 제공함에 있다.The present invention was devised in view of the above problems, and its object is to have a bactericidal effect on the toothbrush itself without the treatment of a separate power source or chemicals, thereby inhibiting the growth of bacteria and preventing disease caused by bacteria. To provide a toothbrush.
