본 발명은 치솔에 관한 것으로, 특히 치솔의 손잡이부에 치실이 내장된 치간청소구를 일체화하여 치아의 바깥면, 안쪽면은 물론 치간면을 닦기 위하여 안출한 치간청소구를 구비한 치솔에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a toothbrush, and more particularly, to a toothbrush having an interdental cleaning device designed to clean the outer surface, the inner surface as well as the interdental surface of the tooth by integrating the interdental cleaning device with a built-in dental floss. .

일반적으로 치솔을 사용하여 치아의 바깥면, 안쪽면만을 주로 닦고 있음은 주지의 사실로, 이러한 종래의 치솔로는 잇몸 염증질환의 가장 주된 원인이 되는 치면세균막(프라그)을 제거할 수 없어 충치나 잇몸염증,구치등을 유발케 되어 구강건강 예방 및 치료에는 미흡함이 있었던 것이다.It is well known that toothbrushes are generally used to clean only the outer and inner surfaces of teeth. Such conventional toothbrushes cannot remove the dental plaque, which is the main cause of inflammatory diseases of the gums. It causes gum inflammation, detention, and lack of oral health prevention and treatment.

따라서, 잇몸 염증질환의 가장 주된 원인이 되는 치면세균막(프라그)을 제거하기 위해서는 별도의 치실을 이용하여 치간면(치아와 치아사이면)을 닦도록 하여 칫솔질과 더불어 치실을 사용하여 충치나 잇몸염증 등 질환의 원인이 되는 치간면 세균막을 제거하였던 것이다.Therefore, in order to remove the plaque, which is the main cause of inflammatory diseases of the gums, use a separate dental floss to clean the interdental surface (tooth and dental floss). Interdental bacterial membranes that cause back disease were removed.

따라서, 치실을 이용하여 치간면을 닦기위해서는 치실통에 권회된 치실을 적당한 길이로 절단하여 양손으로 치실을 잡고 치간면을 닦았으나, 전문적인 지식이 없는 사람은 잘 못사용하게 되어 오히려 치아 건강을 해치게 되고, 치실을 잡은 상태에서 어금니까지 구석구석 닦는데에는 많은 어려움이 뒤따랐으며, 불결한 손으로 치실 사용시 비위생적이며, 또 타인이 어린이나 환자의 치간면을 닦아줄 수 없는 문제점이 있었다.Therefore, in order to clean the interdental surface using the dental floss, the dental floss wound in the dental floss was cut to a suitable length, and the dental floss was held by both hands, and the interdental surface was polished. There was a lot of troubles to clean every corner from the state of holding the floss to the molars, unsanitary when using the floss with dirty hands, and there was a problem that others can not wipe the interdental surface of the child or patient.

종래에는 이러한 문제점에 착안하여 Y자형의 치간청소구가 제안된것이 있었으나, 이같은 치간청소구는 별도의 치실통에서 치실을 절단하여 벌어진 양측 끝단에 치실을 감아 사용케 되는 것으로서, 그 사용방법이 번거롭고 치실의 유지력이 약하여 사용중 치실이 벗겨지는 경우가 허다한 실정이며, 또한 상술한 바와같이 어금니까지 접근하여 사용하기에는 매우 불편한 결점이 있었다.Conventionally, the Y-shaped interdental cleaning device has been proposed in view of such a problem, but such interdental cleaning device is used to wind the dental floss on both ends of the dental floss by cutting the dental floss in a separate dental floss, which is cumbersome to use. As a result, the floss is often peeled off during use due to weak holding power, and as described above, it is very inconvenient to approach the molar teeth and use it.

또한, 치솔과 함께 치간청소구를 별도로 구입 및 보관을 하게 됨으로서, 사용상 번거로움으로 인하여 사용을 회피하게 되어 결과적으로 구강건강을 해치게 되는 단점이 있었던 것이다.In addition, by separately purchasing and storing the interdental cleaning device with the toothbrush, avoiding the use due to the hassle in use has the disadvantage that the oral health as a result.

따라서 이러한 종래의 문제점을 개선하고자 선출원(일본 공개실용신안공보 소개55-20919)한바 있는 것으로, 즉 제5도와 같이 손잡이부(30)와 치실고정부(50)를 일체로 성형하며, 그 치간청소구(40)를 톱틀형으로 형성하여 상단 양측에 치실걸이돌기(57)(58)를 각각 돌출시켜 별도의 치실(70)을 톱날식으로 연결고정하여 구성된 것으로써, 치솔과 치간청소구를 일체화한다는 잇점은 있으나, 이는 상술한 바와같은 별도의 치실통이 필요하며, 사용시마다 일일이 치실을 적당한 길이로 절단하여 고정시켜야 되는 불편함이 있었다.Therefore, in order to improve such a conventional problem, a prior application (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 55-20919) has been described, that is, the handle portion 30 and the floss fixing part 50 are integrally molded as shown in FIG. The spherical 40 is formed in a saw-tooth shape by protruding the floss hook projections 57 and 58 on both sides of the top, respectively, and configured to connect a separate dental floss 70 with a saw blade to integrate the toothbrush and the interdental cleaning tool. There is an advantage, but this requires a separate dental floss as described above, there was an inconvenience to be fixed by cutting the floss to an appropriate length every time.

본 발명은 상기한 제반 문제점 및 단점을 보완하여 이를 개선 하고자 안출된 겻으로서, 치실이 설치되는 치간청소구를 치솔부를 분해조립되게 결합하고, 손잡이부에 치실이 권회된 권취부를 내장하여 치실을 안출할 수 있도록 구성하여 주므로써, 치솔질 후 바로 치실을 사용하여 치간면을 닦도록 하므로써 사용상의 편리함을 줄 뿐만 아니라 보관에도 편리하여 구강건강의 증진을 도모하고자 하는 것이다.The present invention is to solve the problems and disadvantages described above to solve this problem, the interdental cleaning device in which the dental floss is installed to disassemble and assemble the toothbrush, and the dental floss wound by the built-in wound wound to the handle It is intended to promote oral health by giving convenience to use as well as by using the dental floss to wipe the interdental surface immediately after brushing by constructing it.
