  • the experience shows that often such operations aren't performed for negligence or forgetfulness, or they are performed in an inadequate way, and in such cases the lacked cleaning of the teeth may involve on the time the risk of holes or other pathologies of the same teeth and/or the gums, while the lacked or not correct performed cleaning of the tooth-brush, in which many bacteria are hidden, involves unavoidably a diffusion of the bacteria in the oral cavity when the tooth-brush is subsequently used, with consequent risk of arising of undesired pathologies in the course of time.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks caused by the not correct performed or the lacked dental hygiene and/or cleaning of the tooth-brush after each use thereof, by means of a protection for the dental hygiene and the asepsis of the oral cavity, which is made with the characteristics which will be described and is adapted to provide for, during each treatment of the teeth, not only the cleaning thereof but also a

  • the protection 5 is substantially constituted by a tooth-brush 6 which is made as it will be described, by a glass or other receptacle 7 for containing the tooth-brush 6, and by a lower supporting base 8, on to which the glass or receptacle 7 is laid and put, and which includes the electric components which will be described, which are connected with an electric cable (not indicated) connectable to the electric supply line.
  • the tooth-brush 6 of the protection 5 is composed of a classic flat lengthened body 9, made of an internally hollow plastic material, or other suitable material, to the upper end portion 10 of which a brush 1 1 of traditional type for cleaning the teeth is housed with a joint, which brush is of removable type and adapted to be easily replaced if it is needed, for example in the case in which it has some signs of evident wearing and loss of the mechanical characteristics of the bristles of the same brush.
  • Such lengthened body 9 is provided in the interior of a first and a second illuminating electric component 12, 13, arranged closer and overlapped to each other and in

  • the LED 13 performs the following functions : when it is switched on continuously it indicates that the LED 12 of the ultraviolet radiation is switched on and therefore performs its germicidal and sterilizing function ; when it is switched on intermittently it indicates that the re-loading step of the storage battery 14 is being performed, in the manners which will be described.
  • Such first and second electric components 12 and 13 are supplied electrically through a lead 15, inserted longitudinally in the interior of the body 9, and connected to both the components 12 and 13 and to a control device 16 in series with the energy storage battery 14 of the re-chargeable type and a recharging circuit 17, which are inserted in succession on the opposite and lower end portion 18 of the same body.
  • the purpose of the storage battery 14 is to provide for an autonomous low DC electric supply voltage to the control device 16 and the illuminating components 12 and 13.
  • the control device 16 is of electronic type and is provided with a movement sensor (not shown), and serves for activating and de-activating automatically the operation of said first and second electric components 12 and 13, in the manner which will be described, respectively when the tooth-brush 6 is used or isn't used.

  • such solenoid 23 is arranged in such a manner that to be situated in a position correspondent to and slightly spaced away from the position in which the re-charging circuit 17 is housed into the body 9 of the tooth-brush 6, and in this way the solenoid 23 is coupled inductively with the same re-charging circuit, and under this condition when such solenoid is supplied by the electric supply line through the electric cable, it is able to transmit to the re-charging circuit 17 the electric energy by means of the inductive coupling between these two component parts, so as to determine by the re-charging circuit 17 the charging of the storage battery 14 without any direct electrical/mechanical connection.
  • Such re-charging of the storage battery 14 may therefore be effected only when the glass or receptacle 7 is introduced into the supporting base 8 and the tooth-brush 6 is introduced, before of after the use thereof, into the glass or receptacle 7, in a pre-established position in which its re-charging circuit 17 be arranged in a position correspondent to that of the solenoid 23 of the supporting base 8, in a manner that in the re- charging circuit 17 there is transferred by means of induction the electric energy from the solenoid 23, when this latter is supplied by the electric supply line, under the condition in which the re-charging circuit 17 provided for re-charging the energy storage battery 14.

  • the control device 16 As long as the tooth-brush 6 is used, and therefore the movement sensor detects the movement of the same tooth-brush, both the LED 12 and 13 are operating and are supplied by the storage battery 14.
  • the movement sensor detects the not-moving condition of the tooth-brush, and is actuated automatically in the de-activating condition of the control device 16, so that this latter switches off the LED 12 and 13, so as the first LED 12 ceases to emit the ultraviolet radiations , while the second LED 13 changes its state namely stays on intermittently, for indicating that the tooth-brush is in the rest position and the storage battery 14 is charged automatically through the solenoid 23 and the re-charging circuit 17. Thanks to the presence of the LED 12 emitting ultraviolet radiations of the present protection, it is so possible to achieve,
  • the glass or receptacle 7 has also the function to collect any possible water dripping which should percolate from the protection, and it can be removed and cleaned.
