Most often, the upper side of the container, where the outlet opening for the tooth is the silk thread and the
  • Cut off segment are closed by a top in the form of a cap and thereby protected.
  • the dental floss container is designed to protect the inside of the floss coil against contamination, against the ingress of water or other liquids or odors and against bacterial contamination.
  • the floss coil itself is not touched by the consumer, only the outside of the coil to be detected. This is to ensure that a large part of the dental floss during use and also during the
  • Another object of the container is to facilitate the handling of dental floss.
  • the container is intended to optimize the gripping of the rather small packaging unit between the fingers and to ensure the orderly unwinding of the required length of a dental floss thread.
  • Such conventional dental floss containers consist mainly of a cavity housing and a cover.
  • the cavity housing consists of two plastic housing parts, which are attached to each other so that gaps arise.
  • the cover of the dental floss container is held by plugging or snapping on the top of the container, again with gaps around the cover.
  • Container gaps cause dirt, fluid or gaseous substances and bacteria either to attach to the exterior of the container or even penetrate to the inside of the same.
  • Straight dental floss containers are designed in their dimensions so that they can be carried by the consumer constantly outside the household.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a portable, easy-to-handle, safe, hygienic dental care container so that it is protected against contamination or the ingress of liquid or gaseous substances in an improved manner.

  • the present invention includes a dentifrice container which, by its construction, avoids the disadvantages described above while providing additional benefits. It is a device for donating dental floss, which consists of a container for supporting a dental floss coil, a closure element, means for guiding the dental floss thread and a member for separating the dental floss thread, wherein the device or elements of the device of more than one Material component exist and are manufactured in the multi-component injection molding process.
