Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the field of dental hygiene and, in particular, concerns a device for an improved use of a dental floss, as well as a dental hygiene system comprising such device.
  • the dental floss contained within a dispenser and wound on a spool is very common, with one end of the floss protruding from the dispenser to allow the user to grasp and unwind it from the spool.
  • the user pulls the protruding end of the floss to unwind the desired length from the spool, then cuts the floss with a special cutting blade positioned on the dispenser and uses the section of floss by grasping its end portions between the thumb and index fingers of both hands and keeping the floss taut while sliding it between the teeth with a back-and-forth motion.
  • a common practice, especially to prevent the dental floss from slipping between the fingers during use is to wrap the end portions of the dental floss section one or more times around a segment of the index or middle finger of both hands and to grasp the floss with the thumbs and index fingers.
  • the present invention aims to provide a device that, due to its structural characteristics, makes the use of dental floss not only simpler and more convenient, but also more hygienic and effective.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a device that, due to its ease of use, can encourage the constant use of dental floss for teeth cleaning by a significantly larger number of people.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the dental hygiene system subject of the present invention.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 show two ways of using the dental hygiene system according to the invention.
  • the device 10A comprises a bar-shaped element 11A and a pair 12A of ring-shaped elements 12 which are integral with the bar-shaped element 11A and having an opening 13 adapted to receive a corresponding finger of the user.
  • the ring-shaped elements 12 are integrally formed with the barshaped element 11 A, but they can also be conceived as separate elements, suitable for being attached to the bar-shaped element 11 A.
  • Each end 111 ,112 of the bar-shaped elements 11 A, 11 B also features a floss-locking slit 14 for the interlocking of an end portion of a dental floss.
  • the bar-shaped elements 11A, 11 B have ends 111 ,112 arranged for the blocking and winding of the dental floss F in their longitudinal direction X.
  • the bar-shaped elements 11A,11 B are arranged tangentially relative to the respective pairs 12A, 12B of rings 12, with the ends 111 , 112 of each bar 11 A, 11 B protruding from the same pairs of rings 12A,12B.
  • the first end portion F1 of the dental floss F is wound onto the first device

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif (10A, 10B) pour l'utilisation d'un fil dentaire (F). Le dispositif de l'invention comprend un élément en forme de barre (11A, 11B) pour bloquer et enrouler le fil dentaire (F), et au moins un élément en forme d'anneau (12) solidaire de l'élément en forme de barre (11A, 11B) et ayant une ouverture (13) conçue pour recevoir le doigt d'un utilisateur. Le dispositif ainsi configuré empêche avantageusement la section de fil dentaire utilisée pour nettoyer les dents de venir en contact direct avec les doigts de l'utilisateur, rendant entre autres l'opération de nettoyage interdentaire plus simple et plus confortable.
