This embodiment increases the service life, facilitates the operation and repair of the device.

Description

ORIGINAL IRRIGATOR

The utility model relates to means for caring for the oral cavity, namely, devices for irrigation and hydromassage of the oral cavity and cleaning the gums and teeth.

Oral hygiene should be comprehensive. Most hidden inflammatory processes occur in places where the toothbrush and toothpaste do not penetrate, such as interdental "pockets", gingival folds, and adjacent teeth tightly pressed.

The cause of tooth decay and the development of periodontal disease is the presence of harmful bacteria in the human mouth, when mixed with saliva, a film of plaque forms on the teeth and soft tissue. If the plaque is not removed, it can affect the teeth and the soft tissue in the mouth, which can create cavities in them and cause gum disease, which ultimately leads to tooth loss. In this regard, the reduction in the number of harmful bacteria in the mouth is a very important problem for dentists and specialists involved in human oral health. After 4 hours after eating, 10-10 bacteria per 1 sq. M are found. mm surface.

Traditional widely used methods of hygienic oral care are insufficient for the effective prevention of caries and periodontal disease. Currently, there are a number of inventions aimed at reducing the number of harmful bacteria in the oral cavity. For example, a patent for utility model No. 121728 "Device for showering and hydromassage of the oral cavity", IPC A61C 15/00, publ. 11/10/2012. This device contains a curved shape of the dentition of the tank with perforations made on the inner wall of the tank, discharge and inlet pipe.

Also known is a patent for utility model No. 50413 "Device for irrigation of the oral cavity with hydromassage effect", IPC A61H 9/00, publ. 01/20/2006. This device consists of a U-shaped curved container with a discharge pipe and holes, while the container is a hollow tube with holes made in a checkerboard pattern and located on the inner surface of a U-shaped curved frame made in the form of a parabola or half-ellipse, moreover the walls of the frame are made at an angle of 95-100 ° and / or 110-120 °.

These devices allow you to simultaneously treat the upper and lower jaw teeth with a jet and carry out gum massage and tooth cleaning.

The disadvantage of these devices is the inability to use them when it is difficult to open the oral cavity, for example, with fractures.

The prototype of the utility model is taken as “Irrigator for the oral cavity”, see RF patent No. 77662 for industrial design, MKPO 28-03, priority from 10.23.2009, publ. 02.16.2009, patentee Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd. (JP).

This irrigator comprises a cylindrical housing, a reservoir located in the housing, a tank that extends upward with a switch on the front surface and an opening for mounting a removable nozzle on the upper surface, the tank being made with an expanding upper part.

The disadvantages of this irrigator are that the nozzle is stored separately from the housing, which complicates the operation of the device; the nozzle mounting hole is on the same side as the toggle switch, which increases the likelihood of water entering the toggle switch, and can lead to contact corrosion, which reduces the service life.

The objective of the utility model is to increase ease of use and increase the life of the irrigator.

To achieve this, the proposed irrigator for the oral cavity contains a cylindrical body with a retractable reservoir located in it with a lid, a nozzle, a switch to turn on the device. New is that in the tank with a lid there is a recess for placement and storage of the nozzle, located opposite the toggle switch of the device, while the nozzle is placed with the possibility of rotation by 180 degrees. and fixation in an upright position.

Making a recess for placing the nozzle in the device’s tank and positioning it opposite the toggle switch increases the ease of use, reduces the possibility of water entering the contacts, which increases the service life.

In FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings shows a general view of the device in plan in the working position (with the tank extended and the nozzle vertically mounted);

in FIG. 2 - in FIG. 2 - the same, with a folded nozzle;

in FIG. 3 - folded irrigator, straight view;

in FIG. 4 is a diagram of the installation of the nozzle in an upright position;

3

in FIG. 5 - nozzle fixing mechanism.

The oral irrigator includes a cylindrical body 1, a reservoir 2 mounted therein with the possibility of extension, a cover 3, a groove for the nozzle 4, nozzle 5, and a mechanism for fixing the nozzle 6 with button 7.

The device operates as follows. The reservoir 2 is pulled out of the housing 1, the nozzle 5 is rotated 180 degrees. set in a vertical position and by pressing the button 7 is fixed by the locking mechanism 6. After the procedure is completed by pressing the button 7, the nozzle 3 is released and rotated 180 degrees. set in the groove 4, then press the cover 3, move it to contact with the housing 1.

This design facilitates operation and increases the service life.

Claims (1)
