DE3228946A1 - Novel toothbrush shapes: brushes lying transverse to the handle (transverse brushes) - Google Patents

Abstract

Intensive brushing of the teeth is made possible by the brush lying transverse to the handle, especially since the bristles can better penetrate the interdental gaps during the longitudinal movement of the brush relative to the tooth and remove food remnants. The arched brush shape is adapted to the arched shape of the jaw, especially from the inside, and thus guarantees removal or prevention of a brown discoloration of the teeth caused by tartar, consumption of beverages, smoking and the like. In addition, the rotatable arrangement of the brush relative to the handle, with three engagement positions, enables the brush to be used for transverse and longitudinal movements relative to the teeth.

Description

Title: New Forms for Toothbrushes: To the Sticl across-

Horizontal brushes (cross toothbrushes) Field of application: The new forms the toothbrush are used for the more intensive removal of food residues between the Teeth both on the outside and inside. This leads to a reduction the risk of dental diseases as well as tartar formation, the cause of which is the mangelrlde Tooth cleanliness and bacterial growth are.

State of the art: With the previous toothbrush shape, the teeth mainly by moving the brush sideways, i moves the teeth (from right to left and vice versa).

Criticism of the state of the art: This does not make food residues perfect eliminated. They will even be pushed into the gaps in your teeth.

In particular, the brush with the previous shape does not come to the Inside of the page. Proof of this is the well-known brown coloration of the Teeth from the inside, this is favored by smoking and tea drinks.

Because of the round arrangement of the teeth, the straight brush shape barely reach the gaps between the teeth. In addition, the straight brush handle prevents when brushing your teeth from the inside.

Task: The invention is based on the task of brushing teeth with improved forms to be carried out more intensively and therefore more healthily without adding too much Expensive

Lo, n (g: As before, the toothbrush consists of a handle and a Holder; however, the handle should be perpendicular to the brush in the shape of the letter T.

This allows the brush to move by hand in the direction of the tooth from the inside to the outside or moved from top to bottom; so that the residue is separated from the teeth and not be moved back and forth as before.

Further embodiment of the invention: those on which the invention is based The cross shape of the brush can take on different sizes.

Furthermore, the brush can be both straight and curved to The arching of the jaw has to be taken into account, see Fig. 1. The shapes are also used for electrical Toothbrushes applicable.

Furthermore, the brush can be rotated with the handle at the junction and with locking positions so that they can also be used in the longitudinal direction.

Achievable advantages: The cross shape of the brush reaches the inside teeth better than before; the curved brush adapts to the curve of the jaw.

The brush movement away from the gums separates the food particles from the Tooth, see Fig. 2 Description of an example; An embodiment of the invention is shown in Fig. 1.
