  • the CC cross section in the table is the cross section at the rear end of the neck portion as in the CC cross section in FIG. 1B. It is.
  • the cross section BB in the table is a cross section at a position of 60 mm from the front end of the handle body toward the rear end of the handle body.
  • ⁇ Oral operability> Ten monitors cleaned the oral cavity and evaluated the operability of the toothbrushes in each case. The operability is evaluated in seven stages from 1 to 7, and the higher the operability, the higher the score. The average score of 10 monitors was classified into the following criteria to determine intraoral operability.
  • S The average score is 5 or more.
  • A The average score is 4 or more and less than 5 points.
  • B The average score is 3 or more and less than 4 points.
  • C The average score is less than 3.
  • S The average score is 2.5 or more.
  • A The average score is 2 or more and less than 2.5.
  • B The average score is 1.5 points or more and less than 2 points.
  • C The average score is less than 1.5 points.

  • the AA cross section should be 3.0 to 4.0 mm in diameter.
  • the fit was “C”. From these results, it was found that by applying the present invention, even when the neck portion is narrowed, the fit feeling can be enhanced and the cleaning effect can be enhanced.
  • the neck portion has a substantially circular cross-sectional contour on the head portion side, and each side is formed on the front surface, the back surface, and the side surface as the substantially circular cross-sectional contour moves toward the handle portion side.
  • the top portion is located on both side surfaces and becomes a substantially polygonal shape that is flat in the thickness direction.
  • the substantially polygonal shape flat in the thickness direction has an arbitrary side formed on the surface of the neck portion, and an opposite side to the arbitrary side formed on the back surface of the neck portion. Therefore, the brushing pressure can be further relaxed.
  • the neck portion since the diameter of the neck portion increases from the head portion side toward the handle portion side, the neck portion flexes more flexibly and the brushing pressure can be made more appropriate. Useful.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une brosse à dents qui présente un effet de nettoyage élevé même si le cou de la brosse à dents est amincie. La présente invention concerne une brosse à dents qui comprend : une tête ayant des groupes de poils incorporés sur la brosse à dents; un cou qui s'étend depuis la tête; et un manche qui s'étend depuis le cou, et la brosse à dents est configurée de telle sorte que le profil d'une section transversale du cou change à mesure que le cou s'étend du côté tête vers le côté manche. Le profil d'une section transversale du cou pris sur le côté tête a une forme sensiblement circulaire. Le profil de la section transversale sensiblement circulaire acquiert une forme sensiblement carrée à mesure que le cou s'étend vers le côté manche, et les côtés de la forme sensiblement carrée sont constitués d'une surface avant, d'une surface arrière et de surfaces latérales. De plus, le profil de la section transversale sensiblement carrée acquiert une forme sensiblement polygonale à mesure que le cou s'étend vers le côté manche. La forme sensiblement polygonale a des sommets sur les deux surfaces latérales et est plate dans la direction de l'épaisseur.
