The specific embodiment
Below, utilize accompanying drawing to describe with regard to embodiments of the present invention.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show first embodiment of toothbrush of the present invention.The toothbrush A of first embodiment has: the head 2, neck 3, and the handle part 4 that plant pieces 1.Above-mentioned handle part 4 possesses core portion 5 and coating portion 6, and this core portion 5 is formed by the hard resin material, and this coating portion 6 is formed by the soft resin material, covers in contact on the roughly complete cycle of core portion 5 with core portion 5.Above-mentioned coating portion 6 has covered more than 70% of surface of above-mentioned handle part 4, and the coefficient of friction on the surface of above-mentioned coating portion 6 is more than 1.
Compare with above-mentioned head 2 and neck 3, shown in the cutaway view of the side view of Fig. 1 (B) and Fig. 1 (C) like that, handle part 4 forms thicklyer on its thickness direction, shown in the upward view of the vertical view of Fig. 1 (A) and Fig. 1 (D) like that, on the width of handle part 4, form broad.This is because coating portion 6 covers core portion 5 cause on every side of handle part 4.
In addition, neck 3 forms handle part 4 sides than the thick slightly shape of head 2 sides.
Like that, core portion 5 has so horizontal wide, promptly thick slightly than the thinnest part of neck 3 on its width, and is thinner slightly than the thickest part of neck 3 shown in the upward view of the vertical view of Fig. 2 (A) and Fig. 2 (D); Shown in the cutaway view of the side view of Fig. 2 (B) and Fig. 2 (C), like that, on its thickness direction, form with the thicker part of neck 3 and divide the same thickness.And like that, the mode bending of core portion 5 to protrude to upside slightly is so that grip easily shown in the side view of the cutaway view of Fig. 1 (C) or Fig. 2 (B).
Then, the rear side in above-mentioned core portion 5, the terminal part side central authorities near the part of neck 3 are formed with the protuberance 5A that looks up ovalize, also are formed with the protuberance 5B that looks up ovalize in the rearward end side central authorities of the rear side of core portion 5.In addition, the face side in above-mentioned core portion 5 is formed with the protuberance 5C that overlooks ovalize in its length direction central portion side, and in the rearward end side of the face side of core portion 5, the protuberance 5D that overlooks ovalize is formed on the position of raised part 5B correspondence.And, on the protuberance 5C and the part between the protuberance 5D of the face side of above-mentioned core portion 5, be formed with trade name and show a plurality of demonstration teat 5E with (sign embossment with).
Secondly, as Fig. 1 (A) to shown in Fig. 1 (D) like that, the outer side in above-mentioned core portion 5 on the arbitrary face of four faces around the core portion 5, all is formed with the coating portion 6 that is made of the soft resin material of encirclement core portion 5 with suitable thickness.This coating portion 6 forms the thickness of the degree of the side face that covers these teats 5A~5D in the mode of the upper surface of each teat 5A~5D of not covering above-mentioned core portion 5.
Above-mentioned head 2, neck 3 and core portion 5 are one-body molded by a mould by hard resin materials such as thermoplastic resins.As this hard resin material, for example can use acrylic resin or mylar, but consider aspects such as intensity, mouldability and cost, acrylic resin is the most preferred.
Above-mentioned coating portion 6 by the soft resin material by the one-body molded peripheral part of secondary mould in above-mentioned core portion 5.As this soft resin material, for example can use styrene series elastomer resin, olefin-based elastomer resin or polyester based elastomers resin etc., but consider flexibility, skid resistance and with the aspects such as cementability of core, optimization styrene based elastomers resin.
As above-mentioned styrene series elastomer resin, specifically, for example can use " THERMOLAST ", " ラ バ ロ Application ", Network ラ レ (strain) " the セ プ ト Application " of Mitsubishi Chemical's (strain), the reason of German KRAIBURG company to grind " the レ オ ス ト マ-" of PVC ニ Le (strain), " the Off テ Star Network " of Asahi Chemical Industry's (strain) etc.
The coefficient of friction of above-mentioned coating portion 6 (coefficient of friction with respect to aluminium or stainless metallic plate that records according to JIS K7125) is more than 1, more preferably 2 when above, can access the good handle portion of skid resistance.Under the situation of the coefficient of friction less than 1 of above-mentioned coating portion 6, can't obtain sufficient skid resistance when using toothbrush A to brush teeth.On the other hand, the coefficient of friction of coating portion 6 surpasses at 5 o'clock, the tendency of the adhesion sense grow when having gripping handle.
By coating more than 70% of surface area of above-mentioned handle part 4 with above-mentioned coating portion 6, more preferably more than 90%, can accessing the good handle part of skid resistance 4.Under 70% situation of not enough handle part 4 surface areas of the surface area of coating portion 6, when dominated by hand handle part 4, coating portion 6 is less with the contact area of hand, thereby can't obtain sufficient skid resistance when brushing teeth.
Above-mentioned coating portion 6 preferably by rubber hardness be 15~40 soft resin material, preferably the styrene series elastomer resin forms.In this case, above-mentioned handle part 4 has the good chirality of closing.Under the situation of the rubber hardness less than 15 of the clad material of above-mentioned coating portion 6, when gripping handle part 4, the adhesion sense of hand is strong, there is the tendency that is stained with dirt easily, and coating portion 6 is low with the cementability of core portion 5, the tendency that exists coating portion 6 to peel off from core portion 5 easily.On the other hand, surpass under 40 the situation at the rubber hardness of above-mentioned clad material, when gripping handle part 4, coating portion 6 is harder, and existence can not obtain well to close the tendency of chirality, and then the tendency that exists skid resistance to reduce.
For above-mentioned handle part 4, in order to obtain the good chirality of closing, the thickness of coating portion 6 is preferably the scope of 2~5mm.Under the situation of the not enough 2mm of thickness of above-mentioned coating portion 6, when gripping handle part 4, coating portion 6 feels harder, exists to close the bad tendency of chirality.And when above-mentioned coating portion 6 surpassed 5mm, handle part was thick excessively, existed to be difficult to tendency dominated by hand.
Among the above-mentioned toothbrush A, face side and rear side in core portion 5 are provided with the protuberance 5A~5D that is exposed to coating portion surface in the mode of separating amounting to four positions.These protuberances 5A~5D is arranged on a plurality of positions along the length direction of the front and back of core portion 5, so, even there is the trend that skew takes place with respect to core portion 5 in the coating portion 6 that is made of the soft resin material, also can suppress, can play preventing that coating portion 6 from the effect of skew taking place this skew.
The total area that raised part 5A~5D is exposed to outside part from above-mentioned coating portion 6 wishes to be limited in below 10% of surface area of above-mentioned handle part 4.The total area constraints of protuberance 5A~5D by will being exposed to outside part from above-mentioned coating portion 6 can further improve the skid resistance of handle part 4 at below 10% of surface area of above-mentioned handle part 4.
The hair side side of planting that protuberance 5B, the 5C of core, 5D expose near the rearward end side of above-mentioned handle part 4 top and bottom and handle part central authorities amounts to three places, and, core portion 5 exposed surface area 10% below of area constraints at handle part 4, thus, can obtain higher handle part skid resistance.
Above-mentioned coating portion 6 can be by adding organic in soft resin materials such as above-mentioned styrene series elastomer resin or inorganic pigment and the moulding of adequate colouration ground, perhaps, also can not add any material and with the Natural color moulding.Under situation with the Natural color moulding, can see the demonstration teat 5E of core portion 5 across coating portion 6 translucently, can obtain toothbrush A attractive in appearance.
The Thickness Design that needs to be coated on the lip-deep coating portion 6 that shows teat 5E becomes, and when watching the demonstration teat 5E of its inboard from the outside with naked eyes, recognizes that easily literal etc. shows the sign of teat 5E.For this reason, the thickness that preferably will show the coating portion 6 on the teat 5E part forms about 0.5~2.0mm.Here, if the not enough 0.5mm of the thickness of coating portion 6, then when carrying out moulding with mould, resin can not enter into the forming cavity (gap between the demonstration teat 5E of die face and one-shot forming product) of mould, thereby causes the bad danger of moulding bigger.On the other hand, the thickness of the coating portion 6 on showing teat 5E is 2mm when above, has the tendency that is difficult to show from the outside identification teat 5E.
When the core portion 5 of the toothbrush A of moulding said structure, general injection (mo(u)lding) machine and mould can be used as a mould and carry out moulding.In addition, under the situation with secondary mould molding coating portion 6, can use general injection (mo(u)lding) machine to carry out moulding, mould can use hot runner valve gate mode or pin gate mode, wherein preferably adopts hot runner valve gate mode.
The handle part 4 of above-mentioned toothbrush A in order to improve skid resistance, also can be provided with concavo-convex or rib on the surface of coating portion 6, also can implement wrinkling processing on the surface.
By wrinkling processing is implemented on the surface of coating portion 6, can further reduce the adherence of handle part 4 when using the high elastomer resin of coefficient of friction as the constituent material of coating portion 6.
Hope is to the above-mentioned wrinkling processing of enforcement more than 50% on the whole surface or the surface of coating portion 6 of coating portion 6.Implement under the situation of wrinkling processing the anti-adhesion weak effect that brings by wrinkling processing in part only to the less than 50% on coating portion 6 surfaces.Be under 15~40 the situation, to consider that from the aspect of adherence and mouldability the roughness of wrinkling processing is preferably the scope of Ra=10~200 μ m at the rubber hardness of clad material.When Ra less than 10 μ m, anti-adhesion weak effect, and when Ra surpasses 200 μ m, the tendency that exists shaping efficiency to reduce.
In toothbrush A, pieces 1 for example can adopt the synthetic resin hair as the hair that constitutes pieces.It is suitable with the sectional area of the following circular cross-section hair of diameter 0.102mm (4mil) that the sectional area of this synthetic resin hair can be set as.
In addition, the cross section of planting pore that plants above-mentioned hair can make the above circle of diameter 1.8mm, plants follicle population and can be made as more than 45%, and the hair filling rate can be made as 70~95%.
The preferred diameter of above-mentioned hair is the following synthetic resin hair of 0.152mm (6mil), and more preferably diameter is at 0.102~0.127mm (hair in 4~5mil) the scope.In addition, the different hair of hair diameter also capable of being combined for example makes up the hair of 4mil and 5mil and plants hair.
When using the diameter synthetic resin hair bigger to constitute pieces than 0.127mm (6mil), have to be not suitable as the tendency of soft periodontosis nursing with toothbrush, and also also low to the cleaning power of close gap.On the other hand, when using diameter to constitute pieces, make tactility soft, even and also can be in the higher tartar removal power of intraoral each corner performance with the more weak pressure of scrubbing owing to matter is soft as the synthetic resin hair below the 0.127mm (5mil).
The material of hair is so long as to be used for the synthetic resin of toothbrush just passable in the past, can use such polyester of the such polyamide of nylon, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), PETG, PTT or polypropylene etc.These resins can be used alone, but also also mix together.In order to suppress cost, adopt the synthetic resin hair of nylon etc., and each pieces is made of the hair of single diameter and gets final product.
The toothbrush A of said structure has good chirality and the skid resistance of closing, and is easy to grip, and usability is good.

According to the result shown in the table 2 as can be known, as the chirality of closing of the handle part of handle portion, be to show as good at 15~40 o'clock at rubber hardness as the polystyrene elastic resin of clad material.When rubber hardness less than 15, when grip handle part the adhesion sense of hand stronger, be stained with dirt easily, and, have the low and tendency peeled off easily of cementability with core.In addition, under rubber hardness was situation more than 40, when gripping handle part, coating portion was harder, can not get closing the sensation of hand, but also the tendency that exists skid resistance also to reduce.
In addition, as the chirality of closing of the handle part of handle portion, comparatively good when the thickness of coating portion is 2~5mm.Under the thickness of coating portion was situation below the 2mm, coating portion was harder when gripping handle part, and it is poor to close chirality, and when the thickness of coating portion when 5mm is above, it is too thick that handle part becomes, and is difficult to control.
From above-mentioned result of the test as can be known, when in the scope of rubber hardness 15~40 of above-mentioned clad material, in the scope of thickness at 2~5mm of coating portion, handle part to close chirality good.
Embodiment 8
Using rubber hardness as clad material is 20 styrene series elastomer resin " THERMOLAST " of company (German KRAIBURG), mode with average thickness=3mm covers about 90% of handle part surface, the formation coefficient of friction is 2 coating portion, produces the toothbrush sample.
Comparative example 9
As clad material, substituted phenylethylene based elastomers resin, the use rubber hardness is 60 olefin-based elastomer resin (" the ミ ラ ス ト-6030N " of Mitsui Chemicals (strain)), mode with average thickness=1mm covers about 90% of handle part surface, the formation coefficient of friction is 0.2 coating portion, produces toothbrush sample (be equivalent to the spy and open the described toothbrush of 2000-265232 communique).
Test example 3
The toothbrush sample that uses embodiment 8 and comparative example 9 to make carries out actual grippings, to the skid resistance of handle part at this moment with close chirality investigation.Respondent's quantity (testing the quantity of employed sample) of test: n=30 carries out two time-of-weeks, respectively its result is estimated according to following evaluation criterion, and its mean value is illustrated in the table 3.
