Description

Toothbrush with timer and various display functions {A TOOTHBRUSH WITH A TIMER, SEVERAL INDICATION FUNCTIONS}

The present invention relates to a toothbrush having a timer and various display functions, and more particularly, by attaching a timer and various display functions to a general toothbrush and designating a proper time for brushing, and after a time, an alarm or a lamp flashes and a melody is It's about a toothbrush that comes out to let you know when your brushing time is up and to identify you or indicate the date of purchase.

A timer is a person or a machine that counts time, such as an athletic event, and is also called a time clock or a time recorder. Types of timers include self timers, electronic timers, interval timers, and Sony timers.

These timers are useful in life, but the existing timers are simply used to display time and are used for simple appearance, and the use space is extremely limited. In some cases, they are used for toothbrushes in bathrooms as hygiene products. It was not unusual at that time. Therefore, there is a demand for the development of a toothbrush attachment timer, which is more efficient and has more fun, in which time can be brushed at the time of brushing.

In particular, the ideal time for brushing is about 3 minutes, but busy modern people wake up in the morning and go to work, so they often brush their teeth, and few people brush over time, so they brush their gums with less or more brushing. It can also affect the health of the teeth, and it is attached with a timer to keep track of the time of the brushing, and the joyful music flows out, especially children can enjoy the brushing and dial ring with various display functions. By using a marker to identify the user or to identify the date of purchase to brush more fun and to provide a toothbrush to inform the hygienic replacement time.

Therefore, the technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to set the desired time with a timer brushing time in the bathroom, to inform the user of the brushing time by the flashing of the alarm or melody or lamp and to mark the user to distinguish the user on the surface of the timer The purpose is to provide a toothbrush to remind you when it is more hygienic to replace the date you have carved or purchased.

Simple alarms, melodies and flashing lamps can be used in conjunction with a hand-operated dial timer or digital timer inside the handle.

As described above, according to the present invention, the time to be brushed can be set as desired, the time for brushing can be informed to the user, and the user can be distinguished and the purchase date can be displayed by using a dial ring for hygienic toothbrush replacement and gum and The effect of having a better function in maintaining dental health is a great invention.

Figure 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the main portion of the toothbrush provided in the present invention
Figure 3 is a partial view of the main portion of the toothbrush provided in the present invention
Figure 4 is an enlarged partial view of the longitudinal section of the main portion of the toothbrush provided in the present invention

Referring to the preferred embodiment of the present invention in detail with the accompanying drawings as follows.

The present invention, in the toothbrush head portion constituting the toothbrush (1) and the toothbrush pole (2) part of the common toothbrush, the function of being able to display the user's division and date of purchase at the end of the toothbrush pole (2) By installing the excitation dial ring (3) and the timer body (5) to inform the time of brushing, the user can specify the appropriate time for brushing, and during the designated time or after the designated time, the alarm or lamp flashes and the melody In addition to the ability to tell the end of the brushing time to come out with a feature to distinguish the user or display the date of purchase.

That is, in the toothbrush 1 of the present invention, as shown in the example of the perspective view of FIG. 1, the timer main body 5 is closely attached to the end of the toothbrush stand 2, and the user who purchases the toothbrush directly winds up when brushing. By turning the timer knob (7), you can have fun specifying the desired brushing time, and when the brushing or brushing is finished, the lamp flashes, the melody and the alarm sound naturally. Dial ring (3) made to display the can be rotated fixed to the toothbrush pole (2) so that the user does not turn easily when the purchase date or user display.

The present invention, as shown in the example of Figure 2, the insertion hole 11 is formed on the toothbrush pole 2, the timer body 5 consisting of a timer handle 7 and a timer 6 at the end of the toothbrush pole 2; And the mounting groove (19) is in close contact with the user at this time to distinguish the user or the purchase date made of two parts to combine the individual dial ring (3a) and dial ring (3b) to the toothbrush rod (2) The O-ring 4 is inserted into the groove 10a formed in the toothbrush stand 2 so that the dial ring 3 can be rotated in close contact with the toothbrush stand 2 when the user makes a purchase date or a user mark. The ring 3 is not easily rotated, and the individual dial ring 3a and the dial ring 3b may be fixed to the timer body 5 so as to be rotatable by a fitting method using an O-ring 4 and the dial ring (3) is in close contact with the toothbrush pole (2) to rotate It may also be a corresponding engagement with each other in a format such as a number of different ways but this one for example several types of locking projections 21 and the recess engaging in each other in place of the O-ring 22 of the. In order to mount the timer 6, an insertion hole 11 shaped like a timer 6 having a thickness, width, and depth corresponding to the size of the timer 6 of the timer main body 5 is formed in the toothbrush pole 2, and the other. In order to prevent the water from getting into the timer 6 when brushing, the groove body 10b is formed in the timer main body 5 so that the O-ring 4 having a waterproof design can be inserted into the brush. The groove 10d of the O-ring 4 is also formed in the dial ring 3, and the groove 10c into which the O-ring 4 can enter is formed at the end of the toothbrush rod 2, thereby inserting the tooth hole of the toothbrush pole 2. The timer 6 is attached to the user 11 so that the user can operate the timer main body 5 in accordance with the brushing time. In the insertion hole 11 of the toothbrush stand 2, the timer 6 is operated by inserting the lamp flasher 13, which is formed integrally with the LED lamp 15, the battery 14, and the switch 16 in advance. When triggering or finishing the operation, the trigger 8, which is a part of the timer 6, operates the switch 16 so that the current of the battery 14 flashes through the LED lamp 15. If necessary, by making and inserting a small speaker and an electronic circuit device in the lamp flasher 13, it is possible to increase the ringing of various alarms or melodies. This allows the user who purchases the toothbrush to turn the mechanical analog clock-type timer knob (7) directly while brushing to have the fun of specifying the desired brushing time. During brushing or after brushing, the lamp naturally Flashes, melodies and alarms come out. This is an example, so that the same effect can be achieved even if the clock is mounted in analog or digital as needed.

The dial ring 3b and the main body 5 can be manufactured into a cartridge set from the outside to be mounted into the insertion hole 11 of the toothbrush stand 2, and the toothbrush design, production cost, and simplification of manufacturing steps In consideration of this, the timer main body 5 and the dial ring 3 may be provided separately as necessary.

As shown in the example of FIG. 3, the present invention will describe an example of a digital device 20 composed of an LED display window 17, a button 18 and various electronic circuits at the end of the toothbrush 2. 20 may be mounted on the toothbrush pole (2) instead of the timer main body (5), which may be made of a replaceable battery, a speaker, an LED lamp, etc. in the case of the end of the battery life of the digital device (20) After disassembling the main body from the toothbrush pole (2), you can replace the batteries from the outside, and then put them back in their original positions. At this time, the digital device 20 and the toothbrush rod 2 can be easily combined with each other by forming a female or male screw or by applying an O-ring or the like. The digital device 20 allows various displays on the LED display window 17 or to display only a very simple function, so that anyone can easily operate the button 18 to designate a brushing time desired by the toothbrush user.
