Abstract

The device for buccal and dental care is comprised of two disk-shaped parts (1, 2) interconnected by a bridge (3) comprising a cavity (4) filled with a product for dental care and/or buccal cleaning which comes out through the opening (5) owing to the deformation of the connector bar or bridge caused by the mastication motions, said product thereby enabling a generally satisfactory cleaning of the teeth.

Description

Mund- und Zahnpflegevorrichtung Oral and dental care device
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Mund- und Zahnpflegevorrichtung, bestehend aus zwei durch einen Verbindungssteg miteinander verbundenen scheibenförmigen Teilen aus elastischem Material. Der- artige Mund- und Zahnpflegevorrichtungen sind bekannt, wobei sie der Reinigung der Zähne und der Massage des Zahnfleisches dienen.The present invention relates to an oral and dental care device consisting of two disc-shaped parts made of elastic material which are connected to one another by a connecting web. Oral and dental care devices of this type are known, and they serve to clean the teeth and massage the gums.
Weiter existiert eine Vorrichtung, die auf den Finger gesteckt werden kann, wobei dann der Rei- nigungs- und Massageeffekt durch Hin- und Herbewegun¬ gen erreicht wird.There is also a device that can be placed on the finger, the cleaning and massage effect then being achieved by reciprocating movements.
Eine andere Vorrichtung wird in der schwe¬ dischen Patentschrift Nr. 345 066 beschrieben; es han¬ delt sich dabei um eine Kugel aus elastischem Material mit radial angeordneten Noppen, welche die Reinigungs¬ und Massagewirkung dadurch entfalten soll, indem Kau¬ bewegungen ausgeführt werden, und die Noppen dadurch an Zähnen und Zahnfleisch reiben. Auch hier ist der ge¬ wünschte Effekt relativ klein, da bei einer kugelför- migen Vorrichtung hauptsächlich die Kauflächen der Zäh¬ ne und kaum die übrigen Teile erreicht werden. Im weitern ist eine Vorrichtung bekannt, mit welcher Kaubewegungen auf einem Verbindungssteg ausgeführt werden können. Dadurch befinden sich die scheibenförmigen Teile in geringer Distanz zu den Seitenflächen der Zähne, die Noppen erreichen dieAnother device is described in Swedish Patent No. 345 066; it is a ball made of elastic material with radially arranged knobs, which is supposed to develop the cleaning and massage effect by chewing movements and thereby rubbing the knobs on teeth and gums. Here, too, the desired effect is relatively small, since with a spherical device it is mainly the occlusal surfaces of the teeth and hardly any other parts that are reached. Furthermore, a device is known with which chewing movements can be carried out on a connecting web. As a result, the disc-shaped parts are located at a short distance from the side surfaces of the teeth, the knobs reach them
Ritzen zwischen den Zähnen, die Zahnhälse sowie das Zahnfleisch.Cracks between the teeth, the tooth necks as well as the gums.
Der gewünschte Effekt der Massierung des Zahnfleisches wird zweifellos erreicht, während die Reinigung ungenügend ist:The desired effect of massaging the gums is undoubtedly achieved while cleaning is insufficient:
Die Bakterien enthaltende, vor allem nach Genuss von Zucker enthaltenden Speisen einen tiefen pH-Wert aufweisende Belag auf den Zähnen, welcher den Zahnschmelz angreift, wird nur zum geringen Teil ent- fernt. Grobe Speisereste können ebenso zuverlässig durch einfaches Spülen des Mundes entfernt werden.The bacteria-containing coating on the teeth, which has a low pH value, especially after eating sugar, and which attacks the enamel, is only removed to a small extent. Coarse food residues can also be reliably removed by simply rinsing the mouth.
Zweck der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es nun, diese Nachteile zu überwinden.The purpose of the present invention is now to overcome these disadvantages.
Dazu eignet sich die Vorrichtung erfin- dungsgemäss dadurch aus, dass der Verbindungssteg mit einem allseitig verschlossenen Hohlraum versehen und ein Zahnpflege- und/oder Mundreinigungsmittel enthält und dass vom Hohlraum aus mindestens eine Oeffnung nach aussen führt, welche ohne Deformation des Verbin- dungsstegs dank der Elastizität des Materials geschlossen ist. Mit Hilfe der vorliegenden Erfindung wird nun das Ziel der Zahnreinigung erreicht:According to the invention, the device is suitable for this purpose in that the connecting web is provided with a cavity which is closed on all sides and contains a dental care and / or oral cleansing agent and that at least one opening leads outwards from the cavity, which, without deformation of the connecting web thanks to the Elasticity of the material is closed. With the help of the present invention, the goal of tooth cleaning is now achieved:
Durch die Deformation während der Kaube¬ wegung öffnet sich die Oeffnung im VerbindungsSteg, Zahnreinigungsmittel wird ausgepresst und durch die durch Kaubewegung verursachte Drehung der Vorrichtung verteilt, der schädliche Belag auf den Zähnen auch an unzugänglichen Stellen zuverlässig entfernt und das Zahnfleisch massiert.Due to the deformation during the chewing movement, the opening in the connecting web opens, tooth cleaning agent is squeezed out and distributed by the rotation of the device caused by chewing movement, and the harmful coating on the teeth also reliably removed in inaccessible places and the gums massaged.
Wahlweise kann der Hohlraum auch mit einem Fluor enthaltenden Mittel gefüllt werden, dadurch kann mit der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung die Resistenz der Zähne ausserordentlich gefördert werden.Optionally, the cavity can also be filled with a fluorine-containing agent, so that the resistance of the teeth can be promoted extraordinarily with the device according to the invention.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels noch etwas näher erläutert. Es zeigt:The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. It shows:
Fig. 1 eine Ansicht der Vorrichtung,1 is a view of the device,
Fig. 2 einen Längsschnitt durch die Vor¬ richtung.2 shows a longitudinal section through the device.
Die in den Zeichnungen dargestellte Vor¬ richtung besteht aus den Teilen 1 und 2, einem Verbin¬ dungssteg 3, dem Hohlraum 4 und der, da der Verbin¬ dungssteg nicht deformiert ist, geschlossenen Oeffnung 5, durch die bei Deformation ein Zahnreinigungsmittel austreten kann, ferner die Noppen 6, durch welche die Reinigung erzielt wird. The device shown in the drawings consists of parts 1 and 2, a connecting web 3, the cavity 4 and, since the connecting web is not deformed, closed opening 5 through which a tooth cleaning agent can escape when deformed. also the knobs 6, through which the cleaning is achieved.
