Abstract
The present invention relates to a dual structure filament made of a core and a sheath of different materials so as to have high strength and durability and to have flexibility and elasticity, and includes a core extending in one direction and a sheath surrounding the core . The core comprises a central portion passing through the center of the sheath and a wing extending outward from the central portion. The wing portion extends to the edge of the sheath so as to be exposed to the outside of the filament, and is formed of a plurality of radially arranged portions with respect to the center portion. The present invention having the above-described structure is made of a double structure in which a sheath including rigid resin surrounds a core including an elastic resin, so that it has high strength, excellent durability, and flexibility and elasticity. Therefore, it is possible to effectively remove plaque without irritating the gums when gargling, and to provide a refreshing sensation of chewing gum.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a filament used as a bristle, and more particularly, to a dual structure filament made of a core and a sheath made of different materials.
Effective plaque removal and gum disease prevention are important to maintain healthy teeth. To effectively remove the plaque, the bristles must reach all areas of the tooth, between the teeth and between the teeth (interdental). Particularly, it is desirable to allow the bristles to reach the back of the molar teeth deep in the mouth so that the brushing can be performed evenly.
Generally, monofilaments used in toothbrushes can be classified into nylon monofilament and polyester monofilament, depending on the material.
The monofilament made of nylon has an advantage of being able to prevent the gum from being damaged because it has moderate flexibility and elasticity, but has a disadvantage of high hygroscopicity and easy wear. Such nylon monofilaments must be designed to have a predetermined thickness or more in order to have the required cleaning power.
On the other hand, a monofilament made of a polyester material (such as polybutylene terephthalate or polyethylene terephthalate) has a strength higher than that of a nylon monofilament, an excellent durability and a low hygroscopicity. However, flexibility and elasticity are so low that it can irritate and damage the gums when brushing teeth.
Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0271580 (Aug. 17, 2000) discloses a toothbrush having bristles mainly composed of silicone and nylon.
A conventional toothbrush includes a toothbrush bag having a bristle receiving portion formed at one end thereof, a base detachably installed in the bristle receiving portion, and a bristle member formed on an upper portion of the base, wherein the bristle member includes a silicone bristle, Characterized in that bristles are alternatively provided.
The toothbrush described above reinforces the disadvantage of nylon material by adding silicone bristles to the nylon bristles, but it is somewhat deficient in having the required cleaning power because the plaque can not be removed effectively.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a dual structure filament comprising a core and a sheath of different materials so as to have high strength and excellent durability and flexibility and elasticity.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a dual structure filament comprising a core extending in one direction and a sheath surrounding the core.
The core comprises a central portion passing through the center of the sheath and a wing extending outward from the central portion. At this time, the wings may extend to the edge of the sheath so as to be exposed to the outside of the filament, and may be plurally arranged radially with respect to the center.
The core may further include a friction protrusion formed at an end of the wing portion and projecting to the outside of the sheath. The friction protrusion may be formed to surround a portion of an edge of the sheath.
On the other hand, the core may be a selected one of an elastic resin and a biodegradable resin, and the sheath may be a rigid resin.
The core may be one or more kinds of elastic resins selected from an ethylene-? Olefin elastomer, a propylene-? Olefin elastomer, a thermoplastic olefin elastomer, a thermoplastic styrene elastomer, a urethane thermoplastic elastomer or a mixture thereof.
The core may be one biodegradable resin selected from polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), and polybutylene succinate (PBS).
The sheath may be one or more rigid resins selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polycyclohexanedimethylene terephthalate, and copolymers thereof.
In the present invention constructed as described above, the sheath including the rigid resin is made of a double structure which surrounds the core including the elastic resin, so that it has high strength, excellent durability, and has a certain flexibility and elasticity. Therefore, it is possible to effectively remove plaque without irritating the gums when gargling, and to provide a refreshing sensation of chewing gum.
