Abstract
Description
Brosse à dents comportant des poils de
hauteurs différentes
La présente invention concerne une nouvelle brosse à dents permettant un nettoyage efficace des dents et tout particulièrement de tous les points difficilement accessibles comme les surfaces interdentaires eù se loge la plaque dentaire qui entraine comme onle sait les caries et la formation du tartre responsable du déchaussement puis de la perte des dents.Toothbrush with bristles
different heights
The present invention relates to a new toothbrush allowing effective cleaning of the teeth and in particular of all points which are difficult to access, such as the interdental surfaces where the dental plaque is housed which, as we know, causes cavities and the formation of tartar responsible for loosening then loss of teeth.
Traditionnellement on utilise des brosses à dents dont la hauteur des poils est régulière ou bien d'autres dont les sommets des touffes de poils forment des asples mais ils sont tels qu'ils ne permettent pas l'accés entre les dents,ou encore d'autres qui ont un relief alus ou moins anatomique ou qui possèdent les rangées extérieures des poils plus hautes que celles du milieu,mais dans tous ces cas elles ne permettent pas un brosse interdentaire. Traditionally we use toothbrushes whose bristles are regular or many others whose tops of tufts of bristles form asples but they are such that they do not allow access between the teeth, or even others which have an alus or less anatomical relief or which have the outer rows of bristles higher than those in the middle, but in all these cases they do not allow an interdental brush.
La présente invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient.Elle comporte en effet une série de poils destinée à Drosser la surface des dents et des genoives,régulièrement alternée avec une deuxième série de poils dc hauteur plus importante destinée à s'introduire dans tous les espaces interdentaires ou sous gengivals notamment les moins accessibles comme ceux du fond de la cavitébuccale,afin d'en extraire tous les résidus alimentaires responsables de toutes les dégradations citées ci-dessus,à la manière d'un cure-dent ou d'un fil de soie et présentant enfin l'avantage d'entre réunis dans une seule opération celle du brossage des dents. The present invention makes it possible to remedy this drawback. It in fact comprises a series of bristles intended to dent the surface of the teeth and the genoives, regularly alternated with a second series of bristles of greater height intended to be introduced into all spaces. interdental or sub-gingival, in particular the least accessible, such as those at the bottom of the oral cavity, in order to extract all the food residues responsible for all the degradations mentioned above, like a toothpick or a wire floss and finally having the advantage of being united in a single operation that of brushing the teeth.
On comprend aiséet qu'une brosse à surface plane ne puisse extraire de résidus d'une surface à relief accidenté qui présente des cavités d'où l'utilité et l'efficacité d'une brosse à dents selon la présente invention ainsi que e toutes les brosses construites selon le présent modèle et destinées à des surfaces non lisses telles que les faYences murales ou les stores à lattes par exemple. It is easy to understand that a brush with a flat surface cannot extract residues from a surface with uneven relief which has cavities hence the usefulness and effectiveness of a toothbrush according to the present invention as well as all brushes constructed according to the present model and intended for non-smooth surfaces such as wall tiles or slatted blinds for example.
Suivant une variante de l'invention on pourra alterner les touffes de poils de manière irrégulière,ou bien les implanter en quinquonce,aubmenter ou réduire l'écart entre les séries due poils ou les touffes de poils,réduire ou augmenter la différence de hauteur de poils,le nombre de touffes et de séries,varier la qualité,la souplesse ou la dureté,la grosseur et la finesse des poils afin de permettre à l'utilisateur un choix approprié à la forme de ses dents et de sa bouche ou dans le but de la destiner aux adultes ou aux enfants.0n peut par exemple situer l'écart de hau- teur entre la série haute et la série basse entre I/3 et I/4 pour la brosse adulte et I/4 et I/6 pour la brosse enfant. According to a variant of the invention, it is possible to alternate the tufts of hairs in an irregular manner, or else to implant them in staggered rows, to increase or reduce the difference between the series of hairs or the tufts of hairs, to reduce or increase the difference in height of bristles, number of tufts and series, vary the quality, flexibility or hardness, size and fineness of the bristles to allow the user a choice appropriate to the shape of his teeth and mouth or in the intended for adults or children. For example, we can locate the height difference between the high series and the low series between I / 3 and I / 4 for the adult brush and I / 4 and I / 6 for the children's brush.
Suivant une autre variante. de la présente invention la tête de la brosse à dents sera réalisée en un matériau non rigide,élastique comme le caoutchouc par exemple,ce qui lui permettra une certaine maléaoilité afin d'épouser de plus près le relief de la voute dentaire de l'utilisateur ce qui favoriserait un brossage plus facile et plus efficace des surfaces linguales des dents. According to another variant. of the present invention the head of the toothbrush will be made of a non-rigid, elastic material such as rubber for example, which will allow it a certain malevolence in order to more closely match the relief of the dental arch of the user which would facilitate easier and more effective brushing of the lingual surfaces of the teeth.
Suivant une autre variante de la présente invention la tête de la brosse à dents pourra ttre adaptée à tout manche ou dispositif mécanique ou à moteur. According to another variant of the present invention, the head of the toothbrush can be adapted to any handle or mechanical or motor device.
Il est proposé dans le cadre de la présente inven- tion de réaliser la tête de la brosse à dents recouverte entièrement de poils à 3600 afin de permettre une rotativité complète sur elle-même actionnée par la main en changeant de sens selon qu'il s'agisse de brosser la machoire supérieure uo inférieure et abritée par un cache doux qui protégera les parois buccales,linguales ou labbiales,et qui pourra être mca- nisée par un système à roulettes incorporé dans le manche qui démultipliera le mouvement donné par le doit et en facilitera l'utilisation lorsque l'on sait que la façon idéale pour se brosser les dents est de la faire pivoter de bas en haut ou de haut en bas selon qu'il s'agisse de la machoire inférieure ou supérieure. It is proposed in the context of the present invention to make the head of the toothbrush completely covered with bristles at 3600 in order to allow complete rotativity on itself actuated by hand by changing direction depending on whether it is act of brushing the upper jaw uo lower and sheltered by a soft cover which will protect the buccal, lingual or labial walls, and which can be mechanized by a system with rollers incorporated in the handle which will increase the movement given by the must and make it easier to use when you know that the ideal way to brush your teeth is to rotate it from bottom to top or from top to bottom depending on whether it is the lower or upper jaw.
