Receptacles for hairbrushes or toothbrushes as traveling equipment (A45D44/18)

Tooth cleaning tools date back to 3000 to 3500 BC when the Babylonians and Egyptians uprooted the ends of small branches and rooted them and used them as toothbrushes, among the tombs of the ancient Egyptians, toothpicks were found next to the owners of those tombs. 1600 BC The Chinese produced a small piece of chewing gum made from aromatic trees to freshen their mouths.

It is believed that the Chinese first invented the toothbrush in the 15th century, which is similar to today's toothbrushes, using pig neck hair, which was attached to a bone or a piece of a bamboo stick. When the invention came to Europe, Europeans replaced horsehair, and in some cases feathers, with softer pig hair.

The first modern toothbrush was made around 1780 in England by a man named William Addis, whose handle was made of shaved cow bone and whose brush was still made of pig hair. In 1844, the first toothbrush with a three-tier brush was designed. Natural hair was used as a toothbrush brush until it invented two nylon ponts. The invention of nylon marked the beginning of the evolution of the toothbrush in 1938, and in the 1950s, softer nylons were made at the request of the people. The first electric toothbrush was made in 1939.

Electric toothbrushes use the motor built into them to create oscillations and rotations on the toothbrush. Most research shows that the performance and efficiency of these toothbrushes are equal to their manual type. The electric type of these toothbrushes are more comfortable and with time and pressure management sensors, they can follow the correct cleaning procedure. These toothbrushes are also much more expensive than regular toothbrushes. Electric toothbrushes can be classified into sonic and ultrasonic according to standard speed and power.

Toothpaste dispensing toothbrush

US5908257A

A toothbrush is adapted to contain a significant quantity of toothpaste therein and to dispense the toothpaste onto the toothbrush bristles. The toothbrush generally comprises a hollow handle having a brush head formed integrally on its top end, a disposable toothpaste containing cartridge supported within its interior, and a piston mechanism thread ably attached to its bottom end. The piston mechanism is adapted to force the toothpaste out of the handle into a conduit formed through the brush head. The conduit leads from the interior of the handle to a plurality of outlet holes disposed below resilient valves in a rubber gasket layer that supports the bristles. The valves allow the toothpaste to flow from the conduit onto the bristles of the toothpaste while preventing water or other fluids from flowing into the conduit to contaminate the toothpaste supply.

The reservoir has an outlet and contains a plurality of portions of toothpaste. The brush head has a plurality of bristles with an effective lifetime. A passage extends from the outlet of the reservoir through the neck to a dispensing opening located proximate to the brush head. Also included is a dispensing mechanism for dispensing the plurality of portion of the toothpaste from the reservoir to the brush head. The plurality of portions of toothpaste matches the lifetime of the bristles.

Refillable toothpaste dispensing toothbrush

The United States Patent 8496393

A refillable toothpaste dispensing toothbrush has a toothpaste containing a capsule for dispensing toothpaste through the bristle head of the toothbrush. The toothpaste capsule can be filled using any standard toothpaste tube. Grooves in the toothpaste passageway prevent clogging of toothpaste in the toothbrush. In an alternate embodiment, the dispensing toothbrush also contains a sonic vibrating device.

Portable Toothbrush Kit

KR20170090065A

The present invention relates to a portable sanitary napkin kit for conveniently using various kinds of tools necessary for brushing, regardless of a place, and an outer tube having an open side and an inner space communicating with the outside; A cup-shaped inner cylinder accommodated in the outer cylinder; A toothbrush in which one end of each end is inserted and fixed in the inner space of the outer tube; And a plurality of receiving portions formed on an outer surface of the outer tube, each having a toothpaste, an interdental toothbrush, and a piece of dental floss. According to the present invention, since the cup, toothbrush, toothpaste, interdental toothbrush, and dental floss necessary for tooth brushing are compactly provided in a package form, it is easy to carry, and hygienic tooth brushing and oral care can be performed at any place have.

There are many inventions in this field. There are a few Chinese inventions in this field, but all of them were just toothbrushes that had several heads and did not have a system for adding toothpaste and floss to the toothbrush, and it is very difficult and expensive to prepare their brushes separately.

A toothbrush is a hygienic tool that we use for cleaning teeth, gums, and tongues. The main purpose of brushing is to remove all food with various sediments and to prevent the formation of plaque and microorganisms that are naturally placed on all tooth surfaces. Therefore, making a comprehensive toothbrush that has many capabilities and maintains current standards can help scientifically and professionally. The design of the main body of the toothbrush with ergonomic design and special form has the feature by which all parts of the toothbrush are precisely connected. The capabilities of this toothbrush are as follows: reducing the process of microbial acid production and increasing the mineralization of tooth enamel, as well as reducing vulnerability to tooth decay, a brush for cleaning teeth and tongue (mouth), using a fiber optic to better see the position of brushing (especially rear teeth), personalized brush that can be adjusted to 15 different degrees; Brush angles can be changed from 0 to 90.

Currently, if we want to brush our teeth or use floss, we need at least three items including flosses, a toothbrush, and toothpaste and we must have these tools together everywhere. Carrying all these items outside the house is difficult for all employees, travelers, and other people and is not easily possible. Of course, at home, all these items take up more space and sometimes are scattered, which in turn, discourages the user from using one or most of them.

All of the issues that are mentioned above have a great impact on the process of maintaining oral health. We have tried to put most of the components in one toothbrush to easily promote the habit of brushing and take an effective step in increasing oral health.

Today's toothbrushes are conventional or electric, made of plastic handles and nylon brushes. These toothbrushes come in different shapes and sizes, with soft and rough brushes, small sizes for kids, and large for adults.

A toothbrush is a hygienic tool that we use for cleaning teeth, gums, and tongues. The main purpose of brushing is to remove all food with various sediments and to prevent the formation of plaque and microorganisms that are naturally placed on all tooth surfaces. Toothbrushes come in different designs so that each design is customized for different people. The important thing is that these designs only help with brushing and cannot replace your accuracy in brushing with the right method.

Solution of problem

Brushing and maintaining oral hygiene is very important, which can prevent many problems and diseases and help keep teeth healthy. Therefore, providing a comprehensive toothbrush that has many capabilities, by maintaining current standards, can help scientifically and professionally. This is possible by combining the following different parts:

Main body with ergonomic design and special form

plaque chewing tablets

Fluoride / chlorhexidine tank

Multi-state brush

Fiber optics

Floss

Interdental toothbrush

The design of the main body of the toothbrush with ergonomic design and special form has this feature by which all parts of the toothbrush are precisely connected. To identify the parts of the mouth that need more and better rinsing, search plate chewing tablets are used, in which a rechargeable tank is installed on the main body. After chewing, plaque tablets cause discoloration of the parts that need better rinsing by creating color in the teeth.

To reduce the production of microbial acid and increase the mineralization of tooth enamel, fluoride/chlorhexidine is used and in the invention, a rechargeable tank of fluoride/chlorhexidine is used, which increases the calcification of tooth enamel and reduces vulnerability to caries.

In this toothbrush, a type of brush is used for brushing teeth and tongue (mouth), which has five different modes depending on the place of brushing and the type of teeth:

Case 1: The brushes are smooth and even, they look like ordinary toothbrushes and can be used by everyone, this model can also be used for washing the tongue.

Case 2: In this case, the edges of the toothbrush are toned upwards. This model is for patients with periodontal disease. The long and thin brush cleans the plaques and prevents the re-accumulation of bacteria. Case 3: The edges of the toothbrush rise completely. This is suitable for people who have orthodontics.

Case 4: In this case, only the front of the toothbrush comes up. This model is for better and easier washing of wisdom teeth. Also, since these brushes are soft, the raised part can be used for brushing after implant surgery.

Case 5: This improves the brushing process and removes plaque from the teeth by creating more density and changing the position of the brushes. Also, in this case, the edges of the teeth and the dimples between the two teeth are washed as well.

From the rechargeable fluoride/chlorhexidine tank, an outlet is made to the brushes, which, impregnates the brushes with material to increase the calcification of the enamel and reduce its vulnerability to decay. The brush section can be customized (according to the jaw shape, length, and size of the gums and teeth) in 15 degrees; The angle of the brushes can be changed from 0 to 90.

To better see the position of brushing and teeth (especially rear teeth), a fiber optic is used, which is located under the brushes. Fiber optics under the brushes with the light that shines allows the audience to better examine and see inside the mouth and to clean between the teeth, at the end of the main body of the toothbrush is equipped with floss and floss cutter; The floss ball can be exchanged and charged. According to claim 4, from the rechargeable fluoride/chlorhexidine tank, an outlet goes to the floss tank where the floss is also soaked in liquid if needed.

The main body of the toothbrush has a place for installing the interdental toothbrush that people can use. (Healthy teeth: gently in the space between two teeth, implants: to clean the base of the implant and under the prosthesis, bridge: space under the bridge or orthodontics). The interdental toothbrush has antimicrobial properties after being impregnated with chlorhexidine.
