Description
Elektrische ZahnbürsteElectric toothbrush
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Zahnbürste mit rotierendem Bürstenstab.
Bisher bekannte elektrische Zahnbürsten arbeiten nach folgenden Prinzipien.The invention relates to an electric toothbrush with a rotating brush bar.
Electric toothbrushes known to date work according to the following principles.
1) der Bürstenkopf bewegt sich linear und parallel zur Längsachse des Griffteils .1) the brush head moves linearly and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle.
2) der Bürstenkopf bewegt sich linear und rechtwinklig zur Längsachse des Griffteils.2) the brush head moves linearly and at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the handle.
3) der Bürstenkopf rotiert um die Längsachse des Griffteils.3) The brush head rotates around the longitudinal axis of the handle.
4) mit externen Antrieb.4) with external drive.
Verschiedene wissenschaftliche, zahnmedizinische Untersuchungen belegen, das die herkömmliche elektrische Zahnbürste oder Handzahnbürste im Bezug auf die Reinigung bei einer feststehenden Zahnspange nicht ausreichend ist. Wegen der feststehenden Zahnspange erreichen die einzelnen Borsten nur einen Teil der zu reinigenden Fläche der Zähne. Besonders die Zwischenfläche der feststehenden Zahnspange werden nicht gereinigt. Die Folge ist eine Ansammlung bakterieller Beläge, der den Zahnschmelz beschädigt, und eine Ansammlung von Zahnstein bildet.Various scientific dental studies show that the conventional electric toothbrush or manual toothbrush is not sufficient when it comes to cleaning fixed braces. Because of the fixed braces, the individual bristles only reach part of the surface of the teeth that needs to be cleaned. In particular, the area between the fixed braces is not cleaned. The result is a buildup of bacterial plaque that damages the tooth enamel and forms a buildup of tartar.
Der Erfinder obliegt die Aufgabe, die o.g. Nachteile bezüglich der Reinigungseffektivität zu beseitigen. The inventor is tasked with eliminating the above-mentioned disadvantages with regard to cleaning effectiveness.
Eine einseitige Rotationsbewegung des Bürstenstabes könnte sinnvoll sein. In jedem Fall sollte der elektrische Antrieb im Bürstengriffteil integriert sein.A one-sided rotational movement of the brush bar could be useful. In any case, the electric drive should be integrated into the brush handle part.
Um ein einfaches Auswechseln des Bürstenstabes zu ermöglichen, sollte der entsprechende Endteil des Bürstengriffteils mit einem Ansatzteil zur Aufnahme des Bürstenstabes versehen sein.To enable easy replacement of the brush bar, the corresponding end part of the brush handle should be provided with an attachment part for receiving the brush bar.
Um den Sicherheitserfordernissen zu genügen sollte der Bürstenstab aus geeigneten Kunststoff oder Kunststoff mit Draht hergestellt und mit einem Kunststoffendstück zur Aufnahme des stromzuführenden Kabels versehen sein.To meet safety requirements, the brush bar should be made of suitable plastic or plastic with wire and be provided with a plastic end piece to accommodate the power cable.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gelingt erfindungsgemäß durch eine elektrische Zahnbürste der eingangs genannten Art bei der der Bürstenstab um eine Achse rotiert, die in einem Winkel von 180 Grad zur Längsachse des Bürstengriffteils angeordnet ist.This object is achieved according to the invention by an electric toothbrush of the type mentioned at the beginning in which the brush bar rotates about an axis that is arranged at an angle of 180 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the brush handle part.
Um den einfachen Bürstenwechsel zu gewährleisten, ist zur Aufnahme des Bürstenstabes eine Steck,-Klemm oder Gewindeverbindung vorgesehen. Bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele der erfindungsgemäßen Zahnbürste werden anhand von Zeichnungen dargestellt.In order to ensure easy brush replacement, a plug-in, clamp-in or threaded connection is provided to hold the brush bar. Preferred embodiments of the toothbrush according to the invention are shown in the drawings.
Mit dem Bürstenstab gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung wird es erstmals möglich, eine optimale Zahnreinigung hinter den Drähten der feststehenden Zahnspange durchzuführen. Die Erfindung bringt für Mitbürger die eine feststehende Zahnspange tragen eine erhebliche Erleichterung bei der täglichen Mundhygiene .With the brush bar according to the present invention, it is possible for the first time to carry out optimal tooth cleaning behind the wires of the fixed braces. The invention makes daily oral hygiene considerably easier for citizens who wear fixed braces.
Die Zeichnung zeigt in Figur a) ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel im Längsschnitt. Im Bürstengriffteil (1) befindet sich ein Elektromotor (2) der über ein stromzuführendes Kabel (3) mit Energie versorgt wird. An den Elektromotor angeschlossen ist eine Antriebswelle (4), die in einer Führung (5) zum Endteil des Bürstengriffteils (6) führt.The drawing shows a preferred embodiment in longitudinal section in Figure a). In the brush handle part (1) there is an electric motor (2) which is supplied with energy via a power cable (3). Connected to the electric motor is a drive shaft (4) which leads in a guide (5) to the end part of the brush handle part (6).
Ein hier angebrachtes Getriebe (7) überträgt die Bewegungs auf ein Wellenendstück (8) das im Ansatzstück (9) zur Aufnahme des Bürstenstabes (10) endet. In der Figur b) wird eine Ausführung in der Seitenansicht gezeigt.A gear (7) attached here transmits the movement to a shaft end piece (8) which ends in the attachment piece (9) for holding the brush bar (10). Figure b) shows a version in side view.
