- the present invention relates to a toothbrush having an improved cleaning effect.
- Plaque tends to accumulate on the interdental area, cervix, pit and fissure, etc., and it is difficult to remove the accumulated plaque. Rashi is required.
- This toothbrush has the advantage that it is easy to insert the tip of the filament into the narrow part of the oral cavity because the filament is tapered, but has the disadvantage that it has a relatively sharp tip structure that causes gingival damage or pain.
- the bristle of the filament is likely to be insufficient, and the total area of the tip of the filament that contacts the cleaning target is small. The disadvantage is that it cannot be obtained.
- composite monofilament means that fibers of different materials are combined to form one monofilament.
- a brush using a composite monofilament having a plurality of these tips is used so that the contact with the object to be cleaned is performed by the fine hair at the tip, so that the contact is soft and the object to be cleaned is not damaged, and the entire portion other than the tip is entirely covered. Since it is an integrated monofilament, it has the general effect that it can also exhibit moderate hairiness.
- the composite monofilament used here is a sea-island composite fiber part (hereinafter referred to as a composite part) in which a predetermined area from the flocking base is scattered with islands made of a different material resin in the sea. On the tip side from the part, only the island part is exposed to form an aggregate of core hairs.
- the resin is filled in a sea-like manner between the core hairs, so that water does not enter the hair implantation base side from the hair core base, and the hair core base tears during use.

- toothbrushes of the present invention all or a part of the 2 to 5 core hairs exposed at the tip of each composite monofilament enter into the details in the oral cavity such as the interdental region, the cervical region, and the pit and fissure.
- the composite part located behind it keeps the hairs of the entire composite monofilament. Since the core hair is fine hair, it easily enters these parts and is soft. Also, since it is made of polyamide resin, it shows moderate water absorption and is easy to fit into teeth and gums. Therefore, even if the core hair comes into contact with the gums, the gums are not damaged or pained.
- the sea component is filled without gaps around the island-shaped core and between the island-shaped cores, moisture does not enter the flocked base side from the cored hair base and the cored hair base during use. There are no crevices.
- the sea component is a polyester resin, it has low water absorption and is excellent for use in water.
- the diameter of the composite part is 0.150 to 0.30 mm, the core hair diameter is 0.3 to 0.7 mm, and the exposed length of the core hair is 0.2 to 4.0 mm,

- Figure 14 is an explanatory diagram showing the durability evaluation method.
- Fig. 1 shows the standard shape of a toothbrush composed of a flock 1 and a handle 2.
- the toothbrush to which the present invention is applied includes not only such a standard toothbrush but also a toothbrush in which the shapes of the flocked portion 1 and the handle 2 are modified.
- the flocking portion 1 is configured by assembling a flocking bundle 3 as shown in FIG. 2, and the flocking bundle 3 is composed of 10 to 40 filaments 4. Normal, A force in which a monofilament which is a single fiber is used as the filament 4 In the present invention, a composite monofilament in which the tip side is divided into a plurality of filaments is used.
- FIG. 3 is an outline of the composite monofilament 4A used in the present invention.
- the composite monofilament 4 A is composed of a composite section 5 and a fiber separating section 6.
- the specific structure of the composite monofilament is important.
- the composite portion 5 has a sectional structure including three island-shaped core portions 7 spaced apart from each other and a sea portion 8 surrounding the island-shaped core portions and filling between the island-shaped core portions.
- the island core 7 and the sea part 8 are integrated.
- the separating part 6 is configured by exposing only the island-shaped core part 7 excluding the sea part 8 from the composite part 5 for a predetermined length, and the three core hairs 7A are separately arranged at the apexes of an equilateral triangle. It has become.
- a certain range at the tip of the composite section 5 is tapered.
- the tapering of the composite portion 5 can be performed at the same time as the dissolution of the sea portion 8 in the production process of the composite moth fiber, and the degree can be adjusted by controlling the dissolution.
- the degree of taper processing for example, when the diameter of the root is 100%, the distance d from the base point to the composite part side is 1 mm from the boundary between the exposed core hair and the composite part. It is preferable that the taper processing is performed so that the diameter at the set position becomes 70 ⁇ 15%, 89 ⁇ 8% at 3 mm, and 93 ⁇ 7% at 5 mm.
- the range of the diameter at each position shown here does not mean that the diameter at each position can be freely selected as long as the diameter is within this range. If the diameter at one position is close to the upper limit within that range, the diameter at the other position is adjusted to be close to the upper limit.
- the insertability and reachability to the details are further improved. If the degree of taper is sharper than that described above, the insertability and reachability to details will be improved, but the strength will be reduced and the cleanability will be poor. In addition, if the degree of taper becomes duller than the above, the strength is maintained and the cleaning property is improved, but the insertion property and reachability are improved. I don't feel good. Within this range, insertability and reachability will be improved while maintaining strength and cleanability.

- Polyamide resin core bristles 7A show moderate water absorption, are easy to adapt to teeth and gums, and are relatively soft and do not damage the gums.
- the sea part 8 made of polyester resin has a low water absorption and is excellent in use in water, so that set of the composite monofilament is prevented.
- the composite monofilament used in the present invention is obtained by first spinning a composite fiber having island-shaped cores scattered in a sea area, then bundling a large number of the composite fibers, immersing the composite fiber in a solution, and binding the composite fiber bundle.
- the composite monofilament used in the present invention is obtained by first spinning a composite fiber having island-shaped cores scattered in a sea area, then bundling a large number of the composite fibers, immersing the composite fiber in a solution, and binding the composite fiber bundle.
- the solution for selective dissolution has the advantage that the viscosity is not increased and no harmful gas is generated, so that handling is easy.
- the number of core hairs 7A constituting the fiber separating section 6 is also important.
- the number of core hairs 7A ranges from 2 to 5. If the number of core hairs 7A is more than 5, the core hairs may come into contact with each other, which is not preferred because it causes tears and residual moisture.
- the optimal number is three.
- the respective diameters of the composite portion 5 and the core hair 7A and the exposed length of the core hair 7A are also important factors.
- the diameter D1 of the composite portion 5 is preferably in the range of 0.150 to 0.30 mm. If it is less than 0.150 mm, the bristle is insufficient and the durability is poor. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.3 mm, the bristle is too strong and may damage the gums.
- the diameter D2 of the core hair 7A is preferably in the range of 0.03 to 0.07 mm. If it is less than 0.3 mm, the core hair 7A becomes too soft, and the effect of removing the plaque by the tip of the core hair 7A cannot be expected. On the other hand, if the thickness exceeds 0.07 mm, the distance between the core hairs becomes narrow, and the core hairs come into contact with each other, causing tears and remaining moisture. Also, the accessibility to the details in the oral cavity will be poor.
- the exposed length L1 of the core hair 7A is preferably set in the range of 0.5 to 4.0 mm. If it is less than 0.5 mm, it is not enough to reach the depths of the interdental region, cervical region, pit and fissure, etc.
- the exposed length that can maintain practical durability is 4.0 mm or less.
- the exposed length L1 of the core hair 7A is directly reflected in the reach to the interdental region, the cervical region, and the back of the pit and fissure as shown in FIG.
- the average depth of the foveal fissures is 1.050 mm.
- the average width is 0.064 mm.
- the interdental separation is as shown in the table below. (Periodical journal, 31 (2), 608-629, 1989)
- the diameter D1 of the composite part 5 is 0.150 to 300 mm
- the diameter of the core hair 7A is 0.03 to 0.05 mm
- L1 is in the range of 1.0 to 2.5 mm.
- the diameter R 1 of the composite portion is 0.20 mm
- the diameter D 2 of the core hair is 0.04 mm
- the exposed length L 1 of the core hair is 2.0.
- examples thereof include those having a thickness of 0 mm, three core hairs, and using nylon 610 as an island component, which is also a core hair material, and polybutylene terephthalate, whose sea component is a kind of saturated polyester resin.
- the length from the base to the tip of the planted sea-island composite fiber is preferably in the range of 7 to 1 mm. If the length is too long, the operability in the mouth deteriorates and the hair becomes too soft, so that a sufficient cleaning effect cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the length is too short, the bending of the hair during brushing is reduced, and the usability is deteriorated, and the insertability into the interdental region is also deteriorated. Before implantation, the composite monofilament is supplied in a form in which the core hair 7A is exposed at both ends as shown in FIG. 6, or in a form in which only one end is exposed.
- the composite monofilament is implanted in the flocking hole by bundling 10 to 40 composite monofilaments 4A and pressing a flat wire 20 at the center in the longitudinal direction as shown in Fig. 7. It is performed by driving the filament bundle into the flocking hole 21 while deforming the filament bundle in a U-shape.
- the bending position of the composite monofilament 4A is generally set at the center in the longitudinal direction of the filament, but the bending position is shifted from the center so that a step is formed at the end of the filament after bending. It is also conceivable to provide them.
- the cross-sectional structure of the composite part 5 has two core hairs as shown in Fig. 8 (a) and four core hairs as shown in Fig. 8 (b), in addition to the one shown in Fig. 4. What was provided, Figure 8
- one provided with five core hairs can be adopted.
- the cross-sectional shape of the core hair can be appropriately adopted as an ellipse (FIG. 9 (a)), a triangle (FIG. 9 (b)), a quadrangle (FIG. 9 (c)), and the like.
- the sea-island composite fibers were bundled to a bundle diameter of 45 mm, packaged, and then cut to a length of 27 mm.
- the bundle of sea-island composite fibers is immersed in a heated caustic soda solution in a state where the cut end surfaces are exposed, and the sea components composed of polybutylene terephthalate at both ends are selectively dissolved and removed.
- an island-shaped core portion made of nylon 6 10 was exposed.
- a composite monofilament was obtained in which the core hairs with a length of 2 mm were exposed at both ends of the composite portion.
- FIG. 10 (a) shows a composite monofilament in which three core hairs are formed on the distal end side of the composite portion, and is an example of the present invention.
- Fig. 10 (b) shows a monofilament made of nylon with a tapered area of 1.5 mm at the tip
- Fig. 10 (c) shows a monofilament made of nylon with a tapered area with a tip of 8.0 mm.
- Fig. 10 (d) shows a nylon monofilament with the tip of 0.2 mm rounded.
- the diameter of the base of the flocking was 0.210 mm for one tapered product in Fig. 10 (b), 0.180 mm for the sharply tapered product in Fig. 10 (c), and 0.180 mm in Fig. 10 (d).
- the rounded product is 0.210 mm.
- the diameter of the root of the composite part of the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 10 (a) is 0.2000 mm. Further, with respect to the examples of the present invention, nine types of samples having different core exposed lengths and different core diameters were prepared and evaluated.
- FIG. 11 (a) L-shaped bent acrylic plates 30 and 30 are installed facing each other, and a 0.1 mm groove 31 is formed between the acrylic plates.
- a test tool 32 coated with was prepared.
- the toothbrush was pressed against the upper end surface of this test tool 32 with a load of 300 g, and the amplitude was 5 mm and the speed was 250 r in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the acrylic plate. Brushed at pm.
- FIG. 11 (c) the cleanability to the details was evaluated based on the area S of the area where the dirt was removed on the acryl plate facing surface.
- the stain removal area was measured using an image analyzer (LA-5555 manufactured by Pierce Co., Ltd.). Table 1 shows the results.
- Figure 12 shows how the tip of the ment is inserted into the groove and the area of dirt that is removed when brushing is performed in this inserted state.
- the toothbrushes of the present invention in which the core hairs were exposed at the tips had cleanability in detail, and in particular, had a core diameter of 0.040 mm. It can be seen that those set to 5 mm or more have extremely excellent detail cleaning properties. On the other hand, among the toothbrushes of the comparative example, the sharply tapered product and the tapered product have some cleanability, but cannot be said to be sufficient, and the rounded product has little detail cleanability. confirmed.
- the fiber separating portion as an aggregate of the core hairs can enter deeply between the grooves, and the bundle diameter of the entering fiber portion reaches the tip end. It is maintained, and the core hairs that make up this separating part operate independently to clean the inner surface of the groove, and some core hairs can be inserted even if all the core hairs cannot be inserted.
- dirt within the width of the toothbrush flock can be uniformly removed over the entire area, whereas the sharply tapered product is tapered, so the filament tip is grooved. Although the filament can be inserted into the inside, the filament becomes narrower toward the tip, and the number of filaments is one.Therefore, as shown in Fig.
- the cause is that there is a residue in the dirt removal. is there.
- the rounded product has little detail cleaning ability, as shown in Fig. 12 (d), because the groove width used in this test is narrower than the groove width assumed by the design concept of these filaments. This is because the tip of the filament could hardly be inserted between the grooves.
- Such details which cannot be cleaned with tapered or rounded products, are actually abundant in the oral cavity, and when evaluated from the point of view of fine cleaning properties, cleaning of the mouth with tapered or rounded products is difficult. It turns out that it is not enough.
- Figure 13 is a graph that clearly shows the accessibility and reach of the filament to the details of these elements. In this figure, the present invention is implemented.
- ⁇ PP 2 is described as a representative example of the present invention.
- the tape-processed product and the rounded product have a diameter of the filament substantially the same as the flocked base up to the position near the filament tip, whereas in the embodiment of the present invention, the filament diameter is 2.0 mm away from the tip. Up to the center is a collection of core hairs with a diameter of 0.06 mm. It is understood that the ability to penetrate into the details can cause the cleanliness of the details to be exhibited.
- the spreading index is (BZA) x 1 when the width of the brush surface in the initial state is A mm and the width of the brush surface after brushing is B mm as shown in Fig. 14. 0 means a numerical value represented by 0. Table 2 shows the results.
- Evaluation criteria ⁇ extremely excellent in durability (spreading index ⁇ 1 10)
- those of the example of the present invention have less filament set and are superior in durability compared to the tapered, sharply tapered and rounded products as comparative examples. .
- those with a core exposure length of less than 1.0 mm have extremely little settling. This is because the shorter the exposed core hair, the physically stronger the core hair.
- Taped product 0.210 0 2 7 7 3 0 4 7 2 0 2 7 7 X
- the toothbrush of the example of the present invention has little bleeding, and has excellent usability without irritation such as pain and tingling.
- the taper-processed product and the sharply tapered product which are the comparative examples have much bleeding and irritation. This is because, in the embodiment of the present invention, the thin and soft core hairs are in contact with each other, so that the hit is soft and there is little irritation, while the tapered product is thick and hard up to the position immediately before contact with the gingiva, so that the irritation is strong.
- the tip of the hair is hard and sharp.
- Table 4 shows the results of a comprehensive evaluation of all the details of cleaning, durability and usability.
- the toothbrush of the present invention satisfies all of the cleaning properties, durability, and feeling of use, and can be given a very high evaluation as a toothbrush that emphasizes detailed cleaning properties.
- a composite portion in which 2 to 5 island portions made of a polyamide resin are scattered in a sea portion made of a polyester resin is present over a predetermined range from a flocking base portion, and a tip side of the composite portion. Since a composite monofilament in which a separating portion of 2 to 5 core hairs formed by exposing only the island portion to a predetermined length was present was used, the fiber was separated when brushing was performed.
