- FIG. 1 is a view showing the outer shape of a toothbrush 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 1 (A) is a plan view
- FIG. 1 (B) is a front view
- FIG. 1 (C) is a bottom view.
- the toothbrush 1 has a plurality of filaments FM provided on the lower surface of the head of the gripper 11 made of an insulator, and a positive electrode provided on the upper surface of the gripper 11. It consists of an electrode 12 and a negative electrode 13 provided on the side (front) of the gripper 11.
- the grip 11 is made of an insulator, is a handle for performing the function of the toothbrush 1, and is a base that supports the positive electrode 12 and the negative electrode 13.
- the material of the grip portion 11 synthetic resin or ceramics is used. Calcium cement-based materials can also be used. When a calcium-based material is used, calcium is ionized and dissolved in water, and ionically bonds with magnesium precipitated from the negative electrode 13 to be absorbed from the skin, thereby maintaining and activating skin homeostasis. Is achieved.
- the positive electrode 12 and the negative electrode 13 are fitted into a concave portion provided in the grip portion 11 or embedded in the grip portion 11 at a portion of the head of the grip portion 11 that enters the mouth. Alternatively, it is attached to the surface of the gripper 11. Screws or adhesives are used as needed. Various materials such as nylon, horse hair, pig hair, other synthetic resins or natural materials can be used as the material of the filament FM.
- the negative electrode 13 is provided only on one side (front) of the gripper 11. It may be provided on both sides (front and back) respectively.
- a noble metal in the dissimilar metal contact corrosion is used, and as a material of the negative electrode 13, a noble metal in the dissimilar metal contact corrosion is used. That is, the potential of a metal in seawater differs depending on the type of metal. When dissimilar metals with different potentials are electrically coupled in seawater, the lower potential, that is, the noble metal becomes the negative electrode (anode), and the higher potential, that is, the noble metal becomes the positive electrode (force sword). A local battery is formed. This is called galvanic corrosion.
- metals such as carbon (graphite), platinum, nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy C, titanium, nickel'chromium-copper-silicon alloy B, nickel-iron-chromium alloy 82, 5, alloy 20, stainless steel, etc. It is. Graphite and platinum exhibit a potential on the order of +0.2 volts. Other metals show potentials near Q volts.
- Magnesium, zinc, beryllium, aluminum alloys, etc. are also base metals. Magnesium has a potential of about 1.6 volts, and zinc, beryllium, aluminum alloy, etc. have a potential of about 0 volts.
- the critical potential for hydrogen absorption of a metal such as titanium is about 0.75 volts (SCE).
- carbon is used as the material of the positive electrode 12.
- the substance containing carbon include charcoal or graphite.
- magnesium is used as a material of the negative electrode 13.
- a galvanic battery is formed between them.
- platinum platinum (platinum) can be used as the material of the positive electrode 12.
- a large electromotive force of about 1.5 ports can be obtained, thereby exhibiting a strong sterilizing effect. You.
