Description

Automatic dental floss

The present invention relates to a fully automatic dental floss, and more particularly, to a fully automatic dental floss that enables flossing to be performed automatically by reciprocating the floss by pressing an operation button.

In addition to regular dental checkups and professional cleaning to remove plaque from teeth, personal care in dental hygiene is essential to maintaining the health and appearance of teeth and gums. The most familiar and common means of meeting this need is a bristle toothbrush. As an example, Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2017-0062779 (2017.06.08.) discloses a toothbrush.

First, after preparing to use the fully automatic dental floss of the present invention as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , the power button 710 is pressed. Referring to FIG. 11 , when the power button 710 is pressed, the transmission unit 600 is rotated by the driving unit 500 . When the transfer unit 600 rotates, the unwinding unit 300 and the winding unit 400 rotate, so that the dental floss is unwound from the unwinding unit 300 and gradually unwinds into the winding unit 400 . will become At the same time, referring to FIGS. 12 and 13 , the protruding member 623 rotates with respect to the center of the horizontal axis 622 and pushes the guide member 250, so that the guide member 250 moves It rotates around the self-axis 240 . Accordingly, while the pair of hanging members 230 also rotate about the pendulum shaft 240 , the dental floss inserted between the user's teeth and teeth performs a reciprocating motion. As a result, when the user presses the power button 710 in a state in which the floss is inserted between the user's teeth and teeth, flossing is automatically performed.

As such, those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains will understand that the above-described technical configuration of the present invention may be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention.

Therefore, the embodiments described above are to be understood as illustrative and not restrictive in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is indicated by the following claims rather than the above detailed description, and the meaning and scope of the claims and their All changes or modifications derived from the concept of equivalents should be construed as being included in the scope of the present invention.
