Abstract

The utility model consists of a handle 1, from which an arcuate head 2 emerges, holders 3, between which a hygienic thread 4 is stretched, latches 5 are located at the ends of the forks 6. Holders 3 are put on by pushing them onto latches 5 into the grooves of the holders 3. The width of the latch 5 coincides with width of the seating part of the groove of the holder 4. This allows for the convenience of connecting the latch 5 and the holder 3. The forks 6 on the arcuate head 2 are located so that the distance at the base is less than the distance at the ends. This design provides the maximum tension effect of the sanitary thread 4 when the holders 3 are connected on the latch 5. The contour of the outer part of the latches 5 coincides with the contour inside the holder groove 3. This design ensures a reliable connection of the latch 5 in the holder 3. It is assumed that a set of spare hygienic threads on the holders is stored in a cassette with a certain amount of stock, thereby simplifying the replacement of sanitary threads by analogy with shaving cassettes.

Description

The utility model relates to the field of dental care and can be used to clean the interdental spaces. The device for cleaning the interdental spaces contains a handle, an arcuate head with fastening and holders with grooves for the arcuate head latches. The sanitary thread is fixed between the holders. The holders, in turn, are attached to the arcuate head mounts.

Technology area

This model refers to a dental floss device that contains disposable holders designed to be connected to the arched head of the handle during assembly.

Known devices for cleaning the interdental spaces, containing a body in the form of an arc with a holder in the form of a handle and a storage unit for a certain supply of dental floss, and between the ends of the arc stretched dental floss by attaching its ends (US patent No. 4936326).

Known devices for cleaning the interdental spaces, containing a body in the form of an arc and a storage unit for a certain supply of dental floss, and between the ends of the arc stretched dental floss by attaching its ends (RF Patent No. 2077872).

A device for cleaning interdental spaces is known, comprising a body in the form of an arc with a holder in the form of a gripper handle, and between the ends the dental floss is stretched by attaching its ends, which can have various designs (see application of Germany No. 3911126, application of Great Britain No. 2220355).

Known similar in characteristics device for cleaning interdental spaces, containing a handle with a head and a disposable holder, which is designed for cutting dental floss (RF Patent No. 2303420). I take this invention as a prototype.

The prototype has a number of disadvantages: the head is fastened through a retainer on the handle, the hygienic thread with the head has a single design.

The task of the utility model is to reduce the labor intensity of manufacturing a device for cleaning the interdental spaces, while maintaining its effectiveness and improving the ergonomics during use.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the device having a handle, a head and a disposable holder is characterized in that the head is non-removable, the hygienic thread is fixed in a taut position between the two holders, the arcuate head has the possibility of elastic deformation, due to which the holders are fixed with latches.

FIG. 1 shows a disassembled device for cleaning interdental spaces.

FIG. 2 shows the latches for the holders and the holders in section. The device for cleaning the interdental spaces consists of a handle 1, from which an arcuate head 2 emerges, holders 3, between which a hygienic thread 4 is stretched, latches 5 are at the end of the fork 6. Holders 3 are put on by pushing onto latches 5 into the grooves of the holders 3. Width of the latch 5 coincides with the width of the seating part of the groove of the holder 4. This allows for the convenience of connecting the latch 5 and the holder 3.

The forks 6 on the arcuate head 2 are located so that the distance at the base is less than the distance at the ends. This design ensures the maximum tensioning effect of the hygienic thread 4 when the holders 3 are connected on the latch 5.

The contour of the outer part of the latches 5 coincides with the contour inside the groove of the holder 3. This design ensures a reliable connection of the latch 5 in the holder 3.

Claims (2)

1. A device for cleaning interdental spaces, having a handle, a non-removable arcuate head with forks, at the end of which there are latches, and the forks on the arcuate head are located so that the distance at the base is less than the distance at the ends, as well as disposable holders with hygienic thread, non-removable arcuate the head has the possibility of elastic deformation, due to which the disposable holders are fixed on the latches, put on by pushing them onto the latches into the holders grooves, the width of the latch coinciding with the width of the seat of the holder groove. 2. A device for cleaning interdental spaces according to claim 1, characterized in that the hygienic thread is fixed in a taut position between disposable holders.
