Definitions

  • the subject matter of the invention is a toothbrush which has an interdental cleaning unit on its handle or on its head.
  • the individual claims of the invention do not limit the invention exclusively to the area of oral care; the invention could also be applicable to the field of hand or nail cleaning, for example, or to the field of household cleaning, for example.
  • the goal was to develop an implement which integrates brushing the teeth and interdental cleaning in the same unit, in a manner that can make using an interdental cleaner a simple a routine activity for everyday users in addition to brushing their teeth, and so that the replaceable, i.e. consumable component of the implement can be replaced easily and routinely.
  • Another goal was to ensure that the interdental cleaning component of the implement is protected from contamination as best as possible when not in use.
  • An additional task was to ensure that the interdental cleaning component is both detachable, removable from and attachable to the implement.
  • the invention is simple and, for that reason too, cost effective, but its complex solutions, while enabling simple and routine use, integrate the two elements of oral care, toothbrush and interdental cleaning, into a single unit, while - in line with the claims - the choice of the type of interdental cleaner to be integrated into the implement can be matched to the needs of individual market zones, thereby facilitating the optimisation of manufacturing and distribution tasks.
  • the subject matter of the invention is a toothbrush which combines the brushing of teeth and interdental cleaning in an easy-to-use implement. Its two main parts are the toothbrush and the interdental cleaner.
  • the interdental cleaner may be a dental floss fork or a dental broom, or any implement suitable for cleaning the gaps between the teeth.
  • the invention has further advantages over separate implements for cleaning teeth and for interdental cleaning. When not in use, the interdental cleaning component of the implement can be hidden inside, e.g. folded into or pushed into the toothbrush, to protect it against contamination and to retain the appearance of a traditional toothbrush.
  • the interdental cleaning components of the implement may be replaced using various technical solutions, e.g. snap closure.
  • the current level of technical progress is not aware of a similar solutions where the above functions are present simultaneously.
  • Any of the known solutions may be used to attach the two main parts of the implement to each other so that they can still be moved in relation to each other, and replaced, including shape-based or snap closure, but even magnetic or electric attachment.
  • the units may also be inherently attached to one another, able to move relative to one another but not detachable. Out of the known solutions, this can be implemented as rotation around an axis to open, linear movement along a curve, or even a free-moving solution. It may also be a combination of the above solutions, i.e. attachable and openable.
  • the main units of a possible embodiment of the multifunctional toothbrush as per the invention are: toothbrush; dental floss fork, consisting of: stem, two fork branches and the dental floss filament strung between them, and the spindle for moving and securing the unit.
  • the stem of the dental floss fork is a single oblong body, with two fork branches at one end, between which dental floss is strung tight enough to be suitable for interdental cleaning, while at the other end there is a spindle, which is perpendicular to the stem and is secured in the dedicated channel created in the handle of the toothbrush by snap closure, allowing folding out at 180°.
  • a cavity suitable for accommodating the dental floss fork is created within the handle of the toothbrush.
  • the dental floss fork can be folded into this cavity by rotating it around the spindle mentioned above.
  • the cavity housing the folded-in dental floss fork can be covered by a cover on the handle designed for this purpose, which protects the dental floss fork from external impact and contamination when brushing one's teeth and during storage.
  • the user Before brushing teeth, the user can open the cover, fold out the dental floss fork, which is fixed securely to the handle once the cover is folded back, and is thus suitable for cleaning the interdental spaces.
  • a worn- out dental floss fork can be removed easily by hand after the cover is opened, and replaced with a new one.
  • the handle and the cover are expediently made from the same body in a manner that the movement of the cover is made possible by the thinned, elastic material, expediently injection moulded plastic, but this does not restrict the production technology of the invention as this movement can be replaced by any other known solution which allows rotary or linear movement.
  • FIG. 1 is the top view depiction of individual possible embodiments of the multifunctional toothbrush contemplated in the invention: Fig. 1 : with folded-out dental floss fork and open cover,
  • Fig. 2 with removable, two-headed dental floss fork and open cover, with dental floss fork pushed linearly out from the head part,
  • FIGs 1 to 7 depict only certain embodiments presented as preferred examples of the multifunctional toothbrush contemplated in the invention.
  • the cavity 112 accommodating the dental floss fork 200, and its cover 111 are implemented in the toothbrush 100 handle 110, on the side opposite the bristle 101.
  • the ability to fold out the dental floss fork 200 is ensured by the spindle 220 located at the end of the dental floss fork 200 opposite the fork branches 210.
  • the dental floss fork 200 can be folded into the cavity 112 implemented in the handle 110 by rotating it around this spindle 220.
  • the cavity 112 is closed by the cover 111 implemented in the handle 101.
  • the cover 111 may be partially or wholly removable and able to be secured to the handle 110, the manner in which this is implemented does not limit the scope of the invention.
  • the spindle 220 associated with the cavity 112 implemented in the handle 110 allows the dental floss fork 200 to be rotated and also allows the removal and replacement of the dental floss fork 200, e.g. by snap closure or in any other manner.
  • connection of the handle 110 and the dental floss fork 200 does not limit the scope of the invention.
  • the movement of these two components with respect to each other when they are attached to each other may involve rotation or linear movement, or a combination of both.
  • the dental floss fork 200 can be pushed out from the head part 120 by linear movement.
  • Any part of the toothbrush 100, either the handle 110 or the head 120 may be suitable for accommodating and storing the dental floss fork 200 or another interdental cleaning unit.
  • the position and manner in which the dental floss fork 200 is combined with the toothbrush 100 does not limit the scope of the invention.
  • the dental floss fork 200 is essentially an oblong body, with fork branches 210 at one end, with dental floss 201 strung between them.
  • the dental floss fork 200 and the handle 110 are not mechanically connected, at both ends of the oblong body of the dental floss fork 200 there are fork branches 210, between which dental floss 201 of different thickness may be strung, or the size of the fork branches 210 may also be different in order to allow effective cleaning of the interdental gaps.
  • the shape in which the dental floss fork 200 is implemented does not limit the scope of the invention.
  • Figures 4, 5 and 6 depict three different solutions, for the use of the dental broom 300, known as an alternative to dental floss fork 200, each as a preferred solution of the invention.
  • the dental broom 300 is located at the end of the handle 110 opposite the bristle 101 , and can be removed from the handle 10 by linear movement.
  • the dental broom 300 can be opened by rotating it, with the dental broom fixed to the broom spindle 3 2 by eyelets 311 , for example.
  • the broom spindle 312 is projection created at one end of the broom stem 310, designed to engage eyelet 301 of the dental broom 300.
  • This solution allows several dental brooms 300 of various thickness to be combined with the toothbrush 100.
  • Figure 6 presents a solution where three dental brooms 300 are combined with the toothbrush 100.
  • the dental broom stem 310 opens up laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stem 110.
  • the geometric design of the dental broom 300 and of the toothbrush 00 or their position relative to each other do not limit the scope of the invention.
  • the bristle 101 is basically a fixed element of the toothbrush 100, but as shown in figure 7, the worn out bristle 101 could be removable from the head of the toothbrush 100, and replaced.
  • the manner in which the bristle 101 is replaced does not limit the scope of the invention.
  • the bristle 101 corresponds to the bristle part of known toothbrushes; structurally, it may be filamentous or spongy, but any structure suitable for dental care may be used, regardless of its material, as long as it is suitable for the function, including without limitation: nylon, poiybutylene terephthalate.
  • the elements of the invention may be produced by any suitable procedure, including without limitation: injection moulding, milling, 3D printing.
  • these components may be made of any material suitable for the function, including without limitation: polymers, composites, metals.
