Description

Zahnbürstenleuchter toothbrush candlestick
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Zahnbürstenleuchter zur Verbesserung der Zahnreinigung mittels Zahnbürste.The invention relates to a toothbrush chandelier for improving tooth cleaning by means of a toothbrush.
Zahnbürsten mit integrierter Beleuchtungseinrichtung sind bekannt. Eine solche wird zum Beispiel in der DE-U-29614428 beschrieben. Ein Zahnbürstengriff beinhaltet einen Hohlraum für eine Energiequelle, einen Kontaktschalter und eine Lichtquelle unterhalb der Borsten. Die Beleuchtung soll vor allem die Akzeptanz der Zahnpflege durch Kinder erhöhen und dient somit als spielerisches Element. Bei einer ähnlichen Zahnbürste mit beleuchtetem Borstenfeld gemäss DE-U-2004628 ist eine Leuchtdiode im Griff der Zahnbürste vor dem Borstenfeld angeordnet, was die Sauberhaltung der Zahnbürste beeinträchtigen kann. Dies trifft auch auf eine Zahnbürste mit integriertem Licht gemäss DE-U-202005019681 zu, bei der Leuchtrichtung der Lichtquelle parallel bis schräg zur Achse der Zahnbürste verläuft. Es wird ein Lichtkegel auf und um das Borstenfeld erzeugt.Toothbrushes with integrated lighting device are known. Such is described, for example, in DE-U-29614428. A toothbrush handle includes a cavity for a power source, a contact switch, and a light source below the bristles. Above all, the lighting should increase the acceptance of dental care by children and thus serves as a playful element. In a similar toothbrush with illuminated bristle field according to DE-U-2004628 a light-emitting diode in the handle of the toothbrush is arranged in front of the bristle field, which may affect the cleanliness of the toothbrush. This also applies to a toothbrush with integrated light according to DE-U-202005019681, in the direction of illumination of the light source runs parallel to obliquely to the axis of the toothbrush. A cone of light is created on and around the bristle field.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Zahnbürstenleuchter zu entwickeln, der im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik besser handhabbar ist und der den Pflegebereich besser ausleuchtet, so dass die Pflege von Zahnfleisch und Zahnzwischenräumen selbst intensiviert werden kann. Die Aufgabe ist mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst, erfindungsgemäss ist die Lichtquelle am Kopfende der Zahnbürste resp. des Borstenfeldes angeordnet, was die Beleuchtungswirkung verbessert.The invention has for its object to develop a toothbrush chandelier, which is easier to handle compared to the prior art and better illuminates the care area, so that the maintenance of gums and interdental spaces itself can be intensified. The object is solved with the features of claim 1, according to the invention, the light source at the head of the toothbrush resp. arranged the bristle field, which improves the lighting effect.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen offenbart. Die Lampe kann an der Oberseite wie an der Unterseite des Kopfendes angeordnet sein. Bei einer herkömmlichen Zahnbürste leuchtet die Lampe bevorzugt den vom Bürstenfeld berührten Zahnbereich aus. Insbesondere bei elektrischen Zahnbürsten kann die Leuchtrichtung der Lampe auch entgegengesetzt sein und beleuchtet gegenüberliegende Teile der Mundhöhle. Der Zahnbürstenleuchter kann bei konventionellen wie auch bei elektrischen Zahnbürsten verwendet werden, bevorzugt mit festem Borstenfeld, wobei über Steckkontakte o. dgl. auch Wechselköpfe denkbar sind. Die Lichtquelle kann auswechselbar sein, zum Beispiel eine LED.Advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the dependent claims. The lamp may be arranged at the top as at the bottom of the head end. In a conventional toothbrush, the lamp preferably illuminates the tooth area touched by the brush field. Particularly in the case of electric toothbrushes, the direction of illumination of the lamp can also be opposite and illuminates opposite parts of the oral cavity. The toothbrush lamp can be used in conventional as well as in electric toothbrushes, preferably with a fixed bristle field, via plug contacts o. The like. Interchangeable heads are conceivable. The light source can be interchangeable, for example an LED.
