InterdentalbürsteInterdental brush
Die vorliegende Neuerung betrifft eine Interdentalbürste &iacgr;&ogr; zur Reinigung der Zahnzwischenräume.The present innovation concerns an interdental brush &iacgr;&ogr; for cleaning the spaces between the teeth.
Bekannte Interdentalbürsten, wie sie in Fig. 1, IA und 2 dargestellt sind, haben einen Griff 10 mit einem sich verjüngenden Anschlußende 11 sowie eine Bürste 12, die is gebildet ist von zwei miteinander verdrillten Edelstahldrähten, die zwischen sich Nylonborsten 13 einspannen.Known interdental brushes, as shown in Fig. 1, 1A and 2, have a handle 10 with a tapered connecting end 11 and a brush 12 which is formed from two twisted stainless steel wires which clamp nylon bristles 13 between them.
Im Gebrauch wird die Bürste 12 in den Zahnzwischenräumen hin- und herbewegt, sodaß die Borsten 13 verbliebene Verunreinigungen, Essensreste, sowie auch die Plaque und Zahnstein abtragen. Dabei kann jedoch das Zahnfleisch von den verdrillten Stahldrähten leicht bis zum Bluten verletzt werden, insbesondere durch die oft scharfkantigen vorderen Enden A beim Einführen der Bürste in die Zahn-Zwischenräume. Bei wiederholtem Gebrauch kann die Bürste auch leicht brechen.During use, the brush 12 is moved back and forth between the teeth so that the bristles 13 remove any remaining dirt, food residue, plaque and tartar. However, the twisted steel wires can easily injure the gums, causing them to bleed, particularly due to the often sharp-edged front ends A when the brush is inserted into the interdental spaces. The brush can also easily break with repeated use.
Fig. IA und 2 zeigen, wie die Zwischenräume zwischen Bakkenzähnen im hinteren Bereich der Mundhöhle schwer zu erreichen und die Bürste nur schwierig einzuführen ist. Diese wird dabei erheblich abgebogen, was sowohl die Gefahr der Verletzung durch die Drahtspitzen A als auch des ■ Brechens durch übermäßiges Biegen vergrößert.Fig. IA and 2 show how the spaces between molars in the back of the oral cavity are difficult to reach and how difficult it is to insert the brush. The brush is bent considerably, which increases the risk of injury from the wire tips A and of breakage from excessive bending.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Neuerung ist die Schaffung einer die beschriebenen Nachteile vermeidenden Interdentalbürste, die zudem einfacher und billiger herzustellen ist.The aim of this innovation is to create an interdental brush that avoids the disadvantages described and is also simpler and cheaper to produce.
Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe besteht darin, daß die Bürste ein einstückig ausgeformtes, insbesondere durch Einspritzen in eine Spritzgußform hergestelltes Teil ist, wobei der Bürstenabschnitt mit dem Querschnitt abwechselnden langen und kurzen Borsten besetzt ist, insbesondere in einer dreistrahligen Anordnung, sodaß diese der Form der Zahnzwischenräume gut angepaßt sind. Durch Hin- und Herbewegungen im Zahnzwischenraum können so Essensreste sowie auch Zahnstein und Plaque wirksam entfernt werden, was zur Vorbeugung vor Karies und anderen Zahnerkrankungen beiträgt.The solution to the problem is that the brush is a one-piece part, in particular one made by injection molding, with the brush section being provided with long and short bristles with alternating cross-sections, in particular in a three-beam arrangement, so that these are well adapted to the shape of the interdental spaces. By moving back and forth in the interdental space, food residues as well as tartar and plaque can be effectively removed, which helps prevent tooth decay and other dental diseases.
Die Spitze des die Borsten tragenden Schafts ist abgerundet, sodaß die Einführung in die Zahnzwischenräume risikolos und ohne Gefahr einer Verletzung des Zahnfleischs vonstatten geht. Die Bürste wird aus einem nahrungsmittelgeeigneten Kunststoff spritzgegossen, was eine schnelle und kostengünstige Produktion ermöglicht.The tip of the shaft carrying the bristles is rounded so that it can be inserted into the spaces between the teeth without any risk of injury to the gums. The brush is injection-molded from a food-grade plastic, which enables quick and cost-effective production.
Die Neuerung wird nachfolgend durch die Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels anhand der beigegebenen Zeichnung weiter erläutert. Es zeigt:The innovation is explained further below by describing an example embodiment based on the attached drawing. It shows:

Fig. 7 den Gebrauch der Bürste zwischen Backenzähnen is in einer Draufsicht.Fig. 7 the use of the brush between molars is in a top view.
Fig. 3 zeigt die neuerungsgemäße Bürste, bestehend aus einem Griff 20, der übergeht in ein sich verjüngendes Anschlussende 21, von dessen vorderem Ende die Bürste aus einem schlanken Schaft und Borsten 23, 24 ausgeht bis hin zu einem abgerundeten Schaftende B. Die Bürste ist ein einstückiger Spritzgußkörper aus einem nahrungsmittelgeeigneten Kunststoff.Fig. 3 shows the brush according to the innovation, consisting of a handle 20, which merges into a tapered connecting end 21, from the front end of which the brush extends from a slim shaft and bristles 23, 24 to a rounded shaft end B. The brush is a one-piece injection-molded body made of a food-grade plastic.
Der Schaft ist auf einer bestimmten Länge mit den Borsten besetzt, wobei in Umfangsrichtung im Querschnitt gesehen lange Borsten 23 und kurze Borsten 24 miteinander abwechseln. Fig. 4 zeigt, wie jeweils drei Borsten jeder Art auf den Umfang gleichmäßig verteilt sind und Fig. 6 zeigt, wie diese bei der Reinigung eines Zahnzwischenraums sich dessen Konfiguration anpassen.The shaft is covered with bristles over a certain length, with long bristles 23 and short bristles 24 alternating with one another in the circumferential direction in cross-section. Fig. 4 shows how three bristles of each type are evenly distributed around the circumference and Fig. 6 shows how these adapt to the configuration of an interdental space when cleaning it.
Dabei zeigen Fig. 5 und 6 die Reinigung der Zwischenräume zwischen den Vorderzähnen. Der Benutzer hält den Griff 20 am Anschlußende 21 und führt das abgerundete Schaftende B gefahrlos in die Zahnzwischenräume ein ohne das Zahnfleisch
zu verletzen. Die langen und die kurzen Borsten
23, 24 mit ihrer dreistrahligen Sternkonfiguration füllen den Zahnzwischenraum aus und beaufschlagen die Seitenflanken
der Zähne, sodaß beim Hin- und Herbewegen Essensreste, aber auch Plaque und Zahnstein entfernt werden.
Damit ist Zahnerkrankungen vorgebeugt.Fig. 5 and 6 show the cleaning of the spaces between the front teeth. The user holds the handle 20 at the connecting end 21 and safely inserts the rounded shaft end B into the spaces between the teeth without damaging the gums.
The long and short bristles
23, 24 with their three-ray star configuration fill the interdental space and act on the side flanks
of the teeth, so that food residues, but also plaque and tartar are removed when moving back and forth.
This helps prevent dental diseases.
Bei der Anwendung zwischen Backenzähnen im hinteren Bereich
der Mundhöhle kann, wie in Fig. 7 gezeigt, der
Schaft mit den Borsten im Rahmen der Elastizität abgebogen
werden, sodaß auch dort der Bürstenabschnitt hin- und herbewegt werden kann und in gleicher Weise gereinigt und Vorsorge getrieben werden kann.When used between molars in the back area
the oral cavity, as shown in Fig. 7, the
Shaft with the bristles bent within the scope of elasticity
so that the brush section can be moved back and forth there too and can be cleaned and treated in the same way.
