Description

Den foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrører en anordning ved børstehode på en tannbørste, der børstehodet har et flertall av buster, hvorav endel av disse er anbragt i et ringformet mønster og der et første sett av bustene er rett oppstående fra børstehodets legeme. The present invention relates to a device at the brush head of a toothbrush, where the brush head has a plurality of bristles, some of which are arranged in a ring-shaped pattern and where a first set of bristles is straight up from the body of the brush head.

Det er fra tidligere kjent utallige busthoder på tannbørster der busten har forskjellige konfigurasjoner av innledningsvis nevnte type. There are previously known countless bristle heads on toothbrushes where the bristles have different configurations of the type mentioned at the outset.

Det har dog vært et vesentlig følt behov i forbindelse med tannbørster av denne art å oppnå en V-konfigurasjon på en del av bustene på børstehodet, slik at det oppnås en bedre rengjørings virkning av tennene. Vesentlig i forbindelse med foreliggende oppfinnelse er bl.a. å sikre at denne V-konfigurasjon vil gjøre seg gjeldende i større eller mindre omfang uansett børstens børsteretning inn mot tennene. However, there has been a significant felt need in connection with toothbrushes of this kind to achieve a V configuration on part of the bristles on the brush head, so that a better cleaning effect of the teeth is achieved. Essential in connection with the present invention is i.a. to ensure that this V-configuration will apply to a greater or lesser extent regardless of the brushing direction of the brush towards the teeth.

Fra US patent 5806127 er kjent et busthode der noen av bustene har en første farge og er vist anbragt i et sirkulært mønster. Hensikten med disse bustene er å sikre at når tannpasta, særlig inneholdende fluor, anbringes på tannbørsten, skal tannbørstebrukeren ikke påføre mer tannpasta enn at denne såvidt dekker det felt som er definert av disse bustene. Dette er særlig viktig i forbindelse med barns tannpuss, idet det ofte er en tendens hos barn til å anvende mer tannpasta enn nødvendig, hvilket igjen kan bety at barnet får i seg mer fluor enn hva ønskelig er. From US patent 5806127 a brush head is known in which some of the bristles have a first color and are shown arranged in a circular pattern. The purpose of these bristles is to ensure that when toothpaste, particularly containing fluoride, is applied to the toothbrush, the toothbrush user must not apply more toothpaste than covers the area defined by these bristles. This is particularly important in connection with children's tooth brushing, as there is often a tendency in children to use more toothpaste than necessary, which in turn can mean that the child gets more fluoride than is desirable.

Fra US patent 5749116 er kjent et tannbørstehode med flere konsentriske ringer og en sentral bust, men der samtlige buster i både ringene og den sentrale busten er parallelle. A toothbrush head with several concentric rings and a central bristle is known from US patent 5749116, but where all the bristles in both the rings and the central bristle are parallel.

Ifølge foreliggende oppfinnelse kjennetegnes den innledningsvis nevnte anordning ved at et andre sett av bustene danner en vinkel med børstehodets legeme, idet endel av bustene i det andre settet er anbragt på børstehodet i nevnte ringformete mønster som minst to konsentriske ringer og derved danner et tredje bustsett, According to the present invention, the initially mentioned device is characterized by a second set of the bristles forming an angle with the body of the brush head, with part of the bristles in the second set being placed on the brush head in the aforementioned annular pattern as at least two concentric rings and thereby forming a third set of bristles,

at minst noen av bustene i det første settet er beliggende foran det tredje settet og noen bak det tredje settet, og that at least some of the bristles in the first set are located in front of the third set and some behind the third set, and

at buster i det andre settet som er anbragt foran og etter det tredje settet heller vekk fra det tredje settet. that busts in the second set that are placed before and after the third set rather away from the third set.

Med fordel er det tredje bustsettet anbragt omtrentlig midtveis i børstehodets lengderetning. Det er også viktig for forbedret pusseefekt at bustene i de minst to bustringene heller i samme retning langs respektive ring. Fortrinnsvis har bustene i den ytterste ringen større helningsvinkel enn bustene i den innenforliggende ring. Advantageously, the third set of bristles is placed approximately midway in the lengthwise direction of the brush head. It is also important for an improved brushing effect that the bristles in at least two brush rings lean in the same direction along the respective ring. Preferably, the bristles in the outer ring have a greater angle of inclination than the bristles in the inner ring.

Med fordel har det tredje settet i senter derav én rett oppstående bust. Advantageously, the third set in the center therefore has one upright bristle.

Oppfinnelsen skal nå nærmere forklares under henvisning til vedlagte tegning, der: The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the attached drawing, where:

Fig. 1 viser tannbørstens hode sett direkte inn mot den hodeflate som bærer busten. Fig. 1 shows the head of the toothbrush placed directly against the surface of the head that carries the bristles.

Fig. 2 viser børstehodet sett fra én side. Fig. 2 shows the brush head seen from one side.

Fig. 3 viser i perspektiv børstehode med buster, sett i perspektiv. Fig. 3 shows in perspective a brush head with bristles, seen in perspective.

På tegningene er børstehodet angitt med henvisningstallet 1. Børstehodet består av et forholdsvis stivt materiale 2 av f.eks. plast, samt et antall av buster 3 som stikker opp fra respektive hull 4 i børstehodets stive del 2. Et første sett av bustene, angitt med henvisningstallet 5 er rett oppstående fra hodelegemet 2, mens et andre sett av bustene, angitt med henvisningstallet 6, danner en vinkel med hodelegemet 2. En del av bustene i det andre settet er anbragt på hodelegemet 2 som minst to konsentriske ringer 6' og 6". Som det vil fremgå av fig. 1 er det tredje bustsettet 6, 6' anbragt omtrentlig midtveis i børstehodets lengderetning. Det vil også sees av særlig fig. 1, men også av fig. 3 at minst noen av de rett oppstående bustene 5 er beliggende foran det tredje settet 6', 6" og noen bak dette settet. Det vil også fremgå særlig av fig. 1 og 3 at bustene i det andre settet som er anbragt foran og etter det tredje settet heller vekk fra det tredje settet. Bustene i de to bustringene 6' og 6" heller fortrinnsvis i samme retning langs respektive ring. Imidlertid er det tenkelig å la eksempelvis bustene i den ytre ringen 6' helle motsatt vei av ringene 6" i den indre ringen. Bustene 6' i den ytterste ringen har fortrinnsvis større helningsvinkel enn bustene i den innenforliggende ring 6". In the drawings, the brush head is indicated with the reference number 1. The brush head consists of a relatively rigid material 2 of e.g. plastic, as well as a number of bristles 3 that protrude from respective holes 4 in the rigid part 2 of the brush head. A first set of the bristles, indicated by the reference number 5, stand straight up from the head body 2, while a second set of the bristles, indicated by the reference number 6, forms an angle with the head body 2. Part of the bristles in the second set are placed on the head body 2 as at least two concentric rings 6' and 6". As will be clear from Fig. 1, the third brush set 6, 6' is placed approximately midway in the longitudinal direction of the brush head. It will also be seen from Fig. 1 in particular, but also from Fig. 3 that at least some of the upright bristles 5 are located in front of the third set 6', 6" and some behind this set. It will also appear in particular from fig. 1 and 3 that the bristles in the second set which are placed before and after the third set rather away from the third set. The bristles in the two bristle rings 6' and 6" preferably lean in the same direction along the respective ring. However, it is conceivable to allow, for example, the bristles in the outer ring 6' to lean in the opposite direction of the rings 6" in the inner ring. The bristles 6' in the outermost ring preferably have a greater angle of inclination than the bristles in the inner ring 6".

Det vil også bemerkes med henvisning til fig. 1 og 3 at det tredje settet i senter derav har en rett oppstående bust 5. It will also be noted with reference to fig. 1 and 3 that the third set in the center thereof has an upright bristle 5.

Ved foreliggende oppfinnelse er således tilveiebragt et børstehode på en tannbørste som har vist seg ved klinisk utprøvning å ha forbedrete børsteegenskaper i forhold til kjente tannbørster av innledningsvis nevnte type. Den vesentlige fordel med foreliggende oppfinnelse i forhold til de kjente løsninger er at et større antall enn vanlig av bustene vil danne V-form innbyrdes uansett børsteretning. The present invention thus provides a brush head on a toothbrush which has been shown in clinical testing to have improved brushing properties compared to known toothbrushes of the type mentioned at the outset. The significant advantage of the present invention in relation to the known solutions is that a larger number than usual of the bristles will form a V-shape with each other regardless of the brushing direction.
