Definitions
- the present invention relates to a motor-driven toothbrush with a handle, which carries the bristles on the outer handle end and has a coupling part on the inner handle end, with which it can be coupled to a motor drive for moving the bristles.
- Toothbrushes of this type are known. They have the disadvantage that the bristle tips only make a straight forward and backward movement during tooth cleaning on the teeth and gum surfaces, which results in a reduced cleaning effect and inadequate prevention of tartar.
- the object of the invention is therefore to create a motor-driven toothbrush with a significantly improved cleaning effect.
- this object is achieved in that two parallel circular disks spaced apart from one another are rotatably mounted on the outer handle end, about an axis oriented transversely to the handle, that at least some of the bristles are arranged in a circle on the sides of the circular disks facing one another and form a cup brush with each of these, the cup brush with the free bristle ends facing each other, and the two cup brushes being gearingly connected to the coupling part.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a toothbrush, the bristles are only indicated
- Fig. 2 is the same view as Fig. 1 with drawn
- Fig. 3 is a winding of a bristle ring.
- the toothbrush 1 in Fig. 1 has a tubular handle
- a handle housing 4 is releasably attached to a handle housing 4. In doing so, it overlaps with a resilient, inner ring rib 5 a complementary outer ring rib 6 on a connecting piece of the handle housing 4.
- the stem 2 widens to form a bearing housing 7.
- This has on the outside a circular, flat bearing surface 8, which is provided with a concentric, annular opening 9 and with a central threaded bore 10.
- the threaded bore 10 extends into a material bridge within the bearing housing 7.
- the end of a screw 11 is screwed into this, which has a cylindrical shaft 13 between the threaded end and the head 12.
- a circular disk 14 is rotatably mounted on the cylindrical shaft 13, which abuts the bearing surface 8 on one side and carries a bevel ring 15 on this side, which projects through the opening 9 into the bearing housing 7.
- the circular disk 14 is covered with bristles 16 and provided with a hub 17.
- a second circular disk 19 of the same diameter, also provided with a hub 18, is also rotatably mounted on the cylindrical shaft 13 of the screw 11.
- the mutually facing hubs 17, 18 of the two circular disks 14, 19 lie against one another without play when the screw 11 is tightened and determine their spacing.
- the toothed hub ends mesh with each other analogously to a claw coupling and establish a rotationally fixed connection between the two circular disks 14, 19.
- the second circular disk 19 is also covered with bristles 20 on the hub side.
- the bristles 16, 20 facing each other form an annular, preferably conical bristle ring on the circular disks 14, 19, so that two cup brushes 21, 22 with the free bristle ends lie axially opposite one another, the bristle ring diameter ending at the bristles increases.
- the processing of a Bristle ring shows, regions of longer bristles alternate with regions of shorter bristles in the circumferential direction, whereby the cleaning effect in recessed corners and edges is considerably improved.
- the hubs 17, 18 are preferably filled with bristles 23 in radial direction, the length of which can also vary in the direction of rotation.
- a drive shaft 24 is axially and rotatably mounted in the arm 2, on the outer end of which a bevel gear 25 is fitted.
- the bevel gear 25 meshes with the bevel gear ring 15 and drives the two cup brushes 21, 22 with the same direction of rotation at the same speed when the drive shaft 24 is rotating.
- a coupling bell 26 with a square blind hole 27 in cross section, which is part of a plug coupling.
- the blind hole 27 is the male coupling part in the form of a square pin 28, which can be driven by a motor housed in the handle housing 4.
- the screw 11 can be a shaft which is rotatably mounted in the bearing housing 7 and is connected to the drive shaft 24 via an angular gear.
- the circular disks 14, 19 are firmly connected to the shaft, which can also serve as a carrier for the bristles 23.
