A11 Important object of the invention is tov provide a device of this character which may be readily slipped over the handle of a tooth brush so that the same may be conveniently operated, the handle of the tooth brush acting as the sup .ort for the massaging device. A still fur er object of thev lnvention -is rovide a device of this character which wil .operate-on both sides of the gums simultaneously.. v Y
With the foregoing vandother objects in view-v which will appear as the description i0. roceeds, thel invention resides in the comination and arrangement of'parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it bein understood that changes in the precise em odiment ofthe invention herein disclosed, may be lmade within the scope of lwhatlis claimed, Without departingfrom the spirit of the invention.V
Referring tothe drawing: I Figure 1 is `an elevational view of one. -sideoit' a device constructed 'in accordance with the invention.
Figure 3' is averticallyv sectionall view through the massaging device.
Y -Figure 4 is an end levationalf view thereo Referrin @to rthe drawing in detail, the- 40 reference' c aracter indicates a'tooth brush by'thegdrawing. Formed integral with the 8, the outer end thereof beingl the massaging result.
Figure 2 is a front elevationalview therey' 1926. Serial i No. 100,934.
bod portionl 5 is an extension 7 which is 'I pre erably round in cross section and relatively wide, so that the same will contact with a great portioniof the gums of the user.
Associated with the portion 7 is an outwardly extended substantially wide portion extended inwardly as at 9 to contact wit the .gums-at the opposite sides of the teeth, the space between the members 7 and 8 being occupied .by
the teeth of the person using the-device,A when the `device is positioned to accomplish In order that a. certain amount of pressure will vbe exerted against the gums, the members 7 and 8 are reiniorced by a flexible wire 1 0 which is embedded therein during the construction of the massaging device, and in view of the fact that 'the device is formed' preferably 'of rubber, the positioning of the member 10 may be accomplished with facil- .ity during the construction of the device.
In the use of the device, itis obvious that the device may. be positioned within the mouth so that the substantially wide portions. thereof will contact with lthe gums at points adjacent to the Vbases of the teeth, whereupon a movement directed thereto, slmilar to the movement of a toothbrush be1ng`operated `for `cleaning' the teeth, will increase the icirculation of blood through the gums to strengthen thel teeth-and insurea healthy condition of the I claim: A massaging device including 'a body ortion having spaced gumv engaging mem ers of loop construction, one of the gum engaf gums at all times.
' ing members being vcurved towards the a jacent gum engaging member,' a wire embed-- ded in each gumengaging member, the' wires conforming to the shapes `of the gum^`engag ving members and extending throughout the entire lengths thereof to normally hold the gum engaging members against distortion', and said body ortion having a socket to receive the-hand e of a tooth brush.
