Abstract:
Ein Mund- oder Zahnreinigungsgerät besitzt einen stabförmigen Träger, an dessen einem axialen Ende ein Interdentalreiniger aus einem weichelastischen Kunststoff angeordnet ist. An dem entgegensetzten axialen Ende des stabförmigen Trägers ist ein bürstenartiges Reinigungsteil aus einem weichelastischen Kunststoff mit mehreren hervorstehenden Reinigungselementen angeordnet. Zusätzlich besitzt der stabförmige Träger einen vorzugsweise im mittleren Bereich seiner axialen Länge angeordneten Griffabschnitt aus einem weichelastischen Kunststoff. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass der Griffabschnitt über zumindest einen Verbindungsabschnitt mit dem Interdentalreiniger und/oder dem bürstenartigen Reinigungsteil zu einem einstückigen Bauteil verbunden ist.
Abstract:
The idea is a handle with a tied toothbrush for teeth cleaning. It has the advantage to have a hollow inner part to house the necessary items as dental floss and swabs for a perfect oral hygiene.
Abstract:
This present idea improves the organization, convenience, and sanitary conditions of conventional portable tooth brushes by equipping it with an additional storage room for toothpaste, dental floss, and proxabrush, which is partitioned by separate walls for each appliance with a one-touch lid for an easier access. Additionally, the construction of the lid allows the dental appliances to naturally dry off while stored.
Abstract:
Ein Griff (1) für Geräte zur Körper- und Schönheitspflege soll so ausgebildet werden, dass eine flexible und biegsame Zone (3) integriert ist, die eine effektive und schonende Reinigungs-, Schneide- oder Applikationswirkung sicherstellt bei deutlicher Reduzierung von Verletzungsgefahren. Dazu wird die flexible und biegsame Zone (3) durch mindestens eine Faltung des Materials in einem Winkel zur Längsachse des Gerätes gebildet, so dass ein wellen- oder zickzackförmiger Faltenbereich (3) entsteht.
Abstract:
A dispensing brush includes a replaceable reservoir cartridge and handle part having a reservoir chamber and a material advancing piston disposed therein. The replaceable cartridge and handle part is closed at one end by the piston and, possibly, by a dental floss dispenser having a mirror mounted on a cover therefor. The opposite end of the reservoir is closed by a transverse wall including a rupturable membrane seal. The membrane seal is scored or provided with a reduced wall thickness, cross shaped, frangible portion which is engageable with a projection formed on an adapter part of the brush head so that when the head is connected to the replaceable cartridge and handle part, the seal formed by the rupturable membrane is broken and material, such as toothpaste, may flow to the brush head without becoming contaminated.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a tooth brush-dental floss dispenser. The tooth brush comprises a handle and the dental floss dispenser is integrated in said handle. The tooth brush is provided with a feeding mechanism for the dental floss, whereby a channel is located in the interior of the tooth brush handle. A slide which is provided with a thread feedthrough is mounted in said channel in such a way that it can slide. A sleeve connected to the thread feedthrough has a length that is configured in such a way that the sleeve protrudes from the handle when the slide is in a forward position in order to expose the dental floss thread so that it can be drawn out of the device. According to the invention, a punch which is embodied as a thread stop engages with said slide. The thread stop is closed when the slide is in a rear position and the thread stop releases the dental floss thread in the forward position of the slide.
Abstract:
Earlier devices of the genre had a yoke-like head for brushing the teeth, and a cowling of reentrantly folded flexible material interconnected with the arms of the head so as to straddle the slot between the arms. The midsection at the bight of the cowling had pleats between it and the wings of the cowling, and together they formed an articulated linkage between the wings for preserving the bias on the wings during the tooth brushing operation. In the present device, the arms (12) have only brackets (34) on the terminal end portions thereof, the relatively outboard portions (38) of which elbow out in front of the arms, like cowcatchers, below the terminal ends (20) of the arms. The portions (38) in turn have mitt-like brushes (50) thereon comprised of fields of spaced individual bristle of 0.010 inch in diameter or greater at the bases (64) thereof, collectively firm but individually spaced apart from one another at heights and densities enabling them to laterally deflect within the fields, and made of a thermoplastic resin material which is 47 or less in durometer on the Shore D Scale, so as to be ultra soft to the gums of the teeth. Now, with brackets so equipped, the arms (12) can forcibly pinch the portions (38) of the brackets together to the extent that the brushes (50) maintain a firm but comfortable grip on a row of teeth (3) at the level of the gingival sulcus (51) thereof, notwithstanding the absence of the linkage. Moreover, the arms and brackets can be pivoted crosswise the length of the row, to be oscillated through a pitman arm-like motion more in parallel to the gaps between pairs of teeth.
Abstract:
The device and method employ a pair of spaced jaws (286) which in use are straddled about a row of teeth, transverse thereof, and translated along the row opposite the inside and outside faces of the teeth. Cams (112), (114) enable the user to count on the device itself to provide the "dynamics" with which we commonly use a conventional "tooth brush" when we manipulate it in our mouths from a point thereoutside. Flexible arms (216) and slide (254) enable the user to program or predetermine the "grip" of the device, transverse of the row. A flossing adaptation (40) enables the user to clean the interstices between pairs of teeth.
Abstract:
Dental flosser (10) including a handle (12) and a housing (14) coupled to the handle (12). The housing (14) includes an actuator (20), a floss orifice (44), and a chamber (36) for rotatably receiving a spool (18) having first top and bottom surfaces (60, 62) and a side surface and having a supply of floss (16) wound about the side surface, the supply of floss (16) having second top and bottom surfaces. The floss orifice (44) being for directing at least a portion of the supply of floss (16) therethrough. The actuator (20) including at least one contact surface (72, 170) configured to frictionally engage at least one of the first top surface (60), the first bottom surface (62), the second top surface (260), or the second bottom surface, and a biasing member (74) for biasing the at least one contact surface (72, 170) relative to the spool (18).
