Abstract

The toothbrush of the invention enables remaining toothpaste to be gathered in the end of a deformable tube. The toothbrush has a slot (1) for receiving the flattened end (2) of a tube, the two sides (3) of which are then flattened.

Description

LA BROSSE A DENTS A DOUBLE FONCTION THE DUAL-FUNCTION TOOTHBRUSH

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour faciliter l'extraction des restes contenus dans un tube déformable pour les produits pâteux. L'extraction du produit, ne posant pas de problème au début d'utilisation, devient beaucoup plus incommode dés qu'il en reste un tiers ou moins. A nos jours, malgré quelques propositions déjà faites, rien n'est suffisamment accepté par le public pour se trouver dans les grandes surfaces. Le dispositif, grâce à sa fente dont la largeur dépasse légèrement l'épaisseur de deux parois du tube, fait accumuler des restes du produit dans l'extrémité du tube. L'extraction du produit avec les doigts devient de nouveau très facile.The present invention relates to a device for facilitating the extraction of the remains contained in a deformable tube for pasty products. The extraction of the product, not a problem at the start of use, becomes much more inconvenient as soon as a third or less remains. Nowadays, despite some proposals already made, nothing is sufficiently accepted by the public to be found in supermarkets. The device, thanks to its slit whose width slightly exceeds the thickness of two walls of the tube, accumulates product remains in the end of the tube. The extraction of the product with the fingers again becomes very easy.

L'avantage de ce dispositif est tel que le tube, une fois passé par la fente , obtient une déformation des extrémités latérales qui lui permet de garder la forme aplatie.The advantage of this device is such that the tube, once passed through the slot, obtains a deformation of the lateral ends which allows it to keep the shape flattened.

La simplicité de ce dispositif permet de le fabriquer pratiquement de chaque matière solide et rigide, telle que plastique, bois , métal. Son avantage majeur est, qu'il peut faire partie d'un objet d'utilité quotidienne, par exemple d'une brosse à dents servant à même temps pour des dentifrices et d'autres produits de toilette, conditionnés dans les tubes plastiques.The simplicity of this device makes it possible to manufacture it practically from each solid and rigid material, such as plastic, wood, metal. Its major advantage is that it can be part of an object of daily use, for example a toothbrush used at the same time for toothpaste and other toiletries, packaged in plastic tubes.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention. La figure 1 représente un mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention. La figure 2 représente une vue en perspective de ce dispositif engageant un tube. En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte une fente (1), dont les dimensions sont données par exemple pour des tubes de dentifrice actuellement fabriqués, c'est à dire de l'ordre de 50 mm de longueur et de 1,3 mm de largeur. La partie aplatie du tube (2) est introduite dans la fente (1 ) et tiré par les doigts jusqu'à accumulation des restes du produit dans la partie opposée du tube. En passant par la fente, les deux parties latérales (3) du tube s'écrasant en lui donnant la forme bien aplatie.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. FIG. 1 represents an embodiment of the device according to the invention. Figure 2 shows a perspective view of this device engaging a tube. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a slot (1), the dimensions of which are given for example for toothpaste tubes currently manufactured, that is to say of the order of 50 mm in length and 1.3 mm of width. The flattened part of the tube (2) is introduced into the slot (1) and pulled by the fingers until the remains of the product accumulate in the opposite part of the tube. Passing through the slot, the two lateral parts (3) of the tube crushing giving it the well flattened shape.
