Description

BeschreibungDescription

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Zahnreinigungsgerät gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 .The invention relates to a tooth cleaning device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Entfernung von Speiseresten mit herkömmlichen Geräten, wie zum Beispiel einem Zahnstocher aus Holz oder Metall, ist im Bereich der Backenzähne äußerst schwierig. Bedingt durch die Länge dieser Geräte können die Zwischenräume der Backenzähne schiecht erreicht werden. Ist der Zahnstocher abgewinkelt und aus Metall, dann ist eine gefühlvolle Reinigung nicht möglich, es kann leicht das Zahnfleisch verletzt werden.Removing food residues from the molars using conventional devices, such as a wooden or metal toothpick, is extremely difficult. Due to the length of these devices, the spaces between the molars are difficult to reach. If the toothpick is angled and made of metal, then gentle cleaning is not possible and the gums can easily be injured.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Zahnreinigungsgerät so zu konstruieren, daß die Entfernung von Speiseresten und das Reinigen aller Zahnzwischenräume gründlich und zugleich schonend erfolgen kann. Auch soll die Reinigung der Rückseiten der Zahnreihen möglich sein.The invention is based on the task of constructing a tooth cleaning device in such a way that food residues can be removed and all the spaces between the teeth can be cleaned thoroughly and at the same time gently. It should also be possible to clean the backs of the rows of teeth.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe dadurch, daß das Zahnreinigungsgerät durch eine spezielle Formgebung auf einen Finger aufgesteckt werden kann. Dadurch können alle Zähne und Zahnzwischenräume erreicht werden. Da nur ein Finger in den Mundraum eingeführt werden muß, ist es auch möglich, die Zahnreihen von hinten zu reinigen.The invention solves the problem by allowing the tooth cleaning device to be placed on a finger thanks to a special shape. This means that all teeth and interdental spaces can be reached. Since only one finger has to be inserted into the mouth, it is also possible to clean the rows of teeth from behind.

Die Reinigung ist einfach, das Gerät wird vom Benutzer als ein verlängerter Fingernagel empfunden und dadurch kann die Reinigung sehr gefühlvoll erfolgen. Die Gefahr einer Zahnfleischverletzung wird dadurch vermindert.Cleaning is easy, the user perceives the device as an extension of their fingernail and therefore cleaning can be done very sensitively. This reduces the risk of gum injury.

Durch eine Beschichtung der Spitze mit einem abreibenden Material oder dem Aufrauhen der Spitze, kann der Reinigungseffekt erhöht werden. Es können damit hartnäckige Ablagerungen in den Zwischenräumen entfernt werden und es wird dem Entstehen von Zahnstein vorgebeugt.By coating the tip with an abrasive material or by roughening the tip, the cleaning effect can be increased. This can remove stubborn deposits in the gaps and prevent the formation of tartar.

Die Erfindung wird in der folgenden Beschreibung an Hand eines in der Zeichnung (Abb. 1.) dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels im einzelnen erläutert.The invention is explained in detail in the following description using a preferred embodiment shown in the drawing (Fig. 1).

Gemäß der Zeichnung besteht das Gerät aus einem dünnen Plättchen(1), das durch Biegen der Laschen(2) in eine zylindrische Form(5) gebracht wird.According to the drawing, the device consists of a thin plate (1) which is made into a cylindrical shape (5) by bending the tabs (2).

Wird der Gegenstand auf den Finger aufgesteckt, dann wird er durch die beiden Schenkel(6) die sich beim Aufstecken etwas aufbiegen, federnd festgehalten.If the object is placed on the finger, it is held in place by the two legs (6) which bend slightly when placed on the finger.

Die Spitze kann an der Ober- und Unterseite(3,4) aufgerauht oder mit einer abreibenden Schicht beschichtet sein.The tip can be roughened on the top and bottom (3,4) or coated with an abrasive layer.
