TW201720383A - Interdental brush to hook out food residue and scrape tartars between the teeth as well as behind the teeth to achieve effective cleaning of teeth - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to a toothpick with an interdental brush functional structure, characterized by comprising a long rod, a semi-open type long sleeve member and a spring sleeve member. The long rod has a holding section and a tooth-picking section extending from one end of the holding section. The tooth-picking section has a thin and soft fork-like shape, and the holding section is provided with a device that rebounds the tooth-picking section automatically, so that the tooth-picking section can be fast shifted back and forth in the semi-open type long sleeve to allow the thin and soft fork-like portion to protrude out of the tubing and swing on the tongue-side of the teeth, thereby enabling the toothpick to insert into the teeth slit to completely hook out food residue and scrape tartars between the teeth as well as behind the teeth to achieve effective cleaning of teeth.

Description

Interdental brush

The invention relates to an interdental brush device with toothpick function for maintaining oral hygiene, which mainly improves the problem that the toothpick structure is difficult to remove the back of the tooth, and can remove the food residue to effectively clean the teeth.

In recent years, with the progress of the times and the improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to the concept of oral hygiene habits. They will use toothbrushes and toothpastes to match each other immediately after eating to remove food residue left in the teeth and teeth to prevent dental caries. Oral lesions such as periodontal disease and inflammation of the gums. However, the location of the toothbrush and toothpaste is restrictive. It is not convenient to carry and can be used anytime and anywhere. It is also a good way to clean teeth by toothpicks. The toothpick is light and convenient to carry. The mouth is well hygienic.

Most of the earliest traditional toothpicks are made up of a slender rod. One end of the long rod is cut into a pointed shape. There is no special design on the structure. It only has the function of swarf and can not protrude into the gap to clean the gap. The tartar inside, and the tip is pointed and does not have the function of massaging the gums. Another type of floss stick inserts the floss on the floss stick into the tooth gap, swings up and down and moves back and forth to remove the food residue in the tooth gap. The disadvantage is that if the force is improper or the force is excessive, the force is easily caused. Floss breaks, but the floss remains between the interdental spaces, and the function of the floss to remove adjacent teeth is weak.

A toothpick brush that has both the function of interdental brush and toothpick has been invented. It is an elongated rod having a gripping section and a picking section extending from one end of the gripping section, wherein the picking section has a loop. And a needle column extending outward from one side of the ring.

Devices having an interdental brush and a toothpick function have the following problems. In use, only the food residue can be hooked off, and the tartar between some teeth can be scraped off. It has no effect on the cleaning of the teeth behind the teeth, and can not enter between the relatively small teeth, such as between the incisors.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a toothpick structure, which can improve the difficulty of not being able to remove the back of the tooth, and change the material to a softer one, so that it penetrates into the tooth gap to completely smash the food residue and scrape the tooth. Tartar includes between the teeth and behind the teeth.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a toothpick having an interdental brush functional structure, which comprises: a long pole, a half open long kit and a spring kit, the long pole having a grip section and one end of the grip section The tooth segment formed by the extension has a thin flat soft fork shape, and the grip portion is provided with a device for automatically rebounding the tooth segment, so that the tooth segment can be quickly moved back and forth in the semi-open long kit. The thin flat soft fork protrudes through the teeth and can be oscillated on the tongue surface of the teeth, thereby extending into the tooth gap to completely smash the food residue and scrape the tartar between the teeth and the teeth to achieve effective cleaning of the teeth. .

The structure of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Referring to Fig. 1, the present invention is an interdental brush structure for extending into a tooth T1 of a tooth T, and can remove tartar on the tooth T and remove residual food residue in the tooth T1. Or a gingival T2 of the tooth T, the structure comprising a long rod 100, a half open length kit 300, a spring kit 400, the long rod 100 having a grip portion 110 and extending from one end of the grip portion 110 The formed tooth segment 120 has a thin flat soft fork shape, and the grip portion 110 is provided with a device for automatically rebounding the picking portion 120, which is a spring kit 400.

The long rod 100 is in the shape of an elongated flat rod. The long rod 100 is formed by soft plastic injection molding, which is light and convenient to carry, so as to ensure good oral hygiene for a long time. The long rod 100 has a holding portion 110 and a picking portion 120, wherein The dent portion 120 is in the form of a flap having a plurality of forks 122 having a rough surface 121 at its front end.

The grip portion 110 is a rear half portion of the long rod 100. The grip portion 110 has a T-shaped rod shape 111 having a hardness to prevent the semi-open long kit 300 from slipping when pulled. The end of the grip portion 110 has A tail tapered tip 112 and a ball 113 are provided for the user to pick up larger swarf.

The dent portion 120 is formed from one end of the grip portion 110, and is thinned and formed into a fork shape by the grip portion 110, so that the dent portion 120 can extend into the tooth gap T1 without hurting And the gum T2, and the tip of the tooth segment 120 also has the effect of removing the food residue, and because the tooth gap T1 is small, and some are larger, the fork end has different lengths, so that the tooth segment 120 can be applied. For the teeth of different sizes, the front section of the picking section 120 can extend into the smaller tooth gap T1, and the whole section of the picking section 120 can extend into the larger tooth gap T1 to achieve a wider applicable object. category.

Because the tick section 120 is flat and slender, it is easy to cause distortion and is not easy to enter the interdental seam. Therefore, the present invention encloses the long rod 100 in a semi-open long kit, and the semi-open type long kit 300 front section 310 has a rectangular column shape, and the inner hollow can be The pick-up section 120 is accommodated to enable the pick-up section 120 to be stretched back and forth. The elongated set 300 extension section 320 is extended in a semi-curved sheet shape to the rear end of the grip section 110 to move the long rod 100 back and forth.

Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, the spring kit 400 includes a wide hollow spring sleeve 410, a thin hollow spring sleeve 420 and a spring 430, wherein the wide hollow spring sleeve 410 has a front opening 411 that can be inserted into a thin hollow The spring kit 420 and the thin hollow sleeve can be passed out from the rear end opening 412 of the wide hollow sleeve 410, and the thin hollow spring sleeve 420 can cover the end of the grip section 110, and a spring 430 is provided inside the wide hollow spring sleeve 410, the spring The 430 encases the thin hollow spring set 420 so that it can act as a reaction force when the semi-open long kit 300 moves over the long rod 110, and automatically springs back when the semi-open long kit 300 moves back and forth.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the user holds the rear section of the long pole 100 and pulls down and pushes up from the semi-open long kit 300, the picking section 120 can be moved back and forth in the semi-open long kit 300, at this time, the spring 430 The extension section 320 is compressed and compressed to rebound, so that the dent section 120 can be moved back and forth quickly and maintain a thin flat fork shape to achieve the effect of cleaning the teeth. The fork 122 of the dent portion 120 can also oscillate to the left and right of the tooth surface (back) after deepening the tooth gap, thereby cleaning the tartar behind the tooth.
