Definitions
- the present invention relates to a toothbrush comprising resilient wall-like flaps.
- WO 98/18364 (P&G) describes a toothbrush with combination of bristles, soft cleansing pad and/or polishing fingers.
- the polishing fingers are preferably made of a thermoplastic elastomer and the soft polishing pad is an absorbent pad capable of providing an improved cleaning benefit.
- GB-A-2 040 161 (Vowles) describes an improved toothbrush comprising, in addition to conventional bristles tufts, a gum massaging member located outermost on opposite sides of the brushing surface.
- WO 98/22000 discloses a toothbrush comprising a plaque removing member being formed from a mixture of relatively soft elastomeric material and particles of an abrasive material.
- the present invention provides a toothbrush comprising a handle and a bristle-bearing head attached thereto, said head comprising a bristle-bearing face and an opposite face, said opposite face comprising an array of resilient wall-like massaging flaps.
- the flaps on the reverse face of the head provide their benefit either while the brush is being used conventionally, i.e. during regular toothbrushing, or even as a specific act upon the oral care surfaces, e.g. as a polishing element on the tooth or a scraping effect on the tongue.
- the flaps comprise a resilient material such as rubber, plastic or an elastomer, more preferably a thermoplastic elastomer such as those well known in the art.
- Rubbery flaps effect a gentler action on the oral care surfaces with massaging the buccal surfaces during regular toothbrushing or even massagin the gums as a separate action.
- the head of the toothbrush will typically comprise a substantially hard material in which are embedded the bristles.
- Typical materials for the brush head include polyolefin such as polypropylene or acrylonitrile and nylon.
- the massaging flaps of the invention may thus be materially part of the brush head or independent therefrom. Where they do comprise different materials they may be bonded to each other to secure the flaps to the brush head. Bonding may be mechanical, chemical or otherwise. Mechanical bonding may be by way of an independent adhesive or by apertures in the brush head through which protrude the flaps. Chemical bonding may be by way of including similar elements in each of the materials.
- thermoplastic elastomers comprise some degree of polyolefin. When melted the polyolefine element of the thermoplastic elastomer will bond chemically with a polyolefin component of the head. Further bonding methods include welding and sonication.
- the flaps may be linked to one another or be separate from one another. It is preferred that they linked to one another to facilitate manufacture: they can thus be moulded in one step. Where they are linked to one another it is preferred that they are attached to a common base plate which itself is attached to the head.
- the base plate may cover from 25 to 100% of the opposite face of the brush head, preferably from 25 to 95% or whatever area is required to be covered.
- a separate base plate allows separate manufacture of the brush head and flaps. This allows for changes in the design of either to be made quickly and efficiently. Further, it allows for the same base plate to be adapted to any new design of toothbrush. Where the base plate is detachable from the toothbrush head it also allows several base plates to be available to the consumer such that different plates can be used for different circumstances. For example, one can be used for massaging the gums while another is used for polishing the teeth or scraping the tongue after toothbrushing.
- the base plate comprises a bulge in the centre to extend the flaps further in the centre without impacting their structural integrity and efficacy, i.e. the flaps physical dimension are the same but they are allowed to extend further in the centre because of the bulged base plate.
- a bulge can be provided by contouring the opposite face of the brush head.
- the flaps will extend from the brush head by a maximum distance d.
- This maximum distance d is the average of the maximum distances by which each of the flaps extend from the brush head.
- the value of d typically ranges from 0.1 to 2 mm.
- the bulge has a depth from the brush head of from 0.1 to 3 d. This is to ensure that the correct dimensions are being maintained to provide the desired sensorial effect. Where d is large the brush's reverse face has a pronounced bulge and exhibits a focused effect on the oral cavity surfaces, e.g. it allows for a more targeted effect whether polishing, massaging or scraping, etc.
- the brush may also comprise the same resilient material in the handle or the head.
- the resilient material may be used to provide flexibility to the head and in the handle to provide an improved grip.
- the resilient material may thus be linked to common areas such that the material is provides to the brush in one injection mould step.
- the link between the sections may be hidden from view by way of channels through the material making the rest of the brush or by visibly present channels on the brush surface.
- the flaps comprise a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
- TPE thermoplastic elastomer
- Shore A hardness of the TPE is preferably from 15 to 65, more preferably from 25 to 55.
- the flaps are separated from one another by a distance equal to from 0.5 d to 2 d , preferably from 0.75 d to 1.75 d.
- This specific distancing with respect to height provides the flaps with a superior sensorial effect on the buccal lining during use. If the flaps are too far apart they will be sensed individually and if they are too close to one another their special sensorial effect will not be perceived at all.
- the flaps may extend along the brush head in any direction it is preferred that the wall-like flaps extend along the brush head in a direction the main component of which is substantially transverse to the general longitudinal axis of the brush head. This enables the flaps to exert their sensorial effect on the buccal lining when the brush is being moved along the teeth from one tooth to an adjacent tooth.
- the flaps may also extend in a curved line along the brush head. This enables the sensorial effect to be provided should the user brush with a circular motion.
- a curved line is preferably arcuate and more preferably generally sinusoidal.
- the flaps extend along the brush head in more than one direction it is preferred that at least 50%, more preferably 75% of the flaps extend n a similar fashion along the brush head. Should too many directions be used it may become difficult for the user to distinguish the individual directions used and this means that the massaging effect becomes lessened.
- the flaps of the toothbrush will also have a width which may vary along the flap and may be different if measured at the base or tip, for example, the flap may be tapered away from the base.
- the average width a of the flaps measured at a mid point along each flap's length is from 0.1 to 0.7 d, preferably from 0.15 to 0.5 d. This enables the width of the flap to be detected during use in the mouth and against the buccal lining which is not so sensitive as other parts of the oral cavity. If the flap is too thick it will be perceived badly during use and if it is too thin it will deform too easily and will not be sensed at all.
- the maximum width of any flap along its entire length is from 0.1 to 1.5 a, preferably from 0.4 to 1.2 a. This provides for an optimum effect during use and also makes the product easier to manufacture.
- At least one flap extends for a distance equal to 1 to 20 d, preferably from 5 to 18 d.
- the ratio between the distance run along the brush head and the distance extended from the head can be important in establishing the optimum technical characteristics of the flap. Should the flap not run for a reasonable length along the brush head there is a danger that it will deform too easily when brushed at an acute angle along the buccal lining. A flap of considerable length compared with its distance from the next flap provides a much improved effect.
- At least one flap slopes towards the brush head at its edges. This reduces any harsh sensorial effect in having sharp edges rubbing against the oral cavity surfaces.
- the flaps of the present invention may comprise an abrasive incorporated therein.
- Suitable abrasives include perlite, silica, chalk, calcined alumina and mixtures thereof. Such abrasives will be incorporated at from 0.1 to 3% by weight.
- the flaps of the present invention may comprise an oral care benefit agent incorporated therein for delayed release during use.
- oral care benefit agents include anti-caries agents, anti-tartar agents, flavours, anti-malodour agents etc.
- At least one flap comprises a rounded tip portion for reducing any sharp sensorial effect during use.
- a sharpened edge can be provided for those consumers who prefer a harsh sensorial experience.
- These sharpened tips may be directioned, e.g. towards or away from the tip of the brush head.
