Description

DESCRIPTION POINTS OF INTERDENTAL CARE ^: .:.:.7--.:Interdental cleaning handle auxiliary tool for dental floss

Subject of the invention: interdental cleaning handle auxiliary device for dental floss, with a forked design, the dental floss is attached to the head part and stretched, and then, by holding the handle of the invention, the dental floss is delivered to the interdental spaces of the oral cavity more easily and aesthetically during oral care. The field of application of the invention is all those difficult-to-reach places, such as the interdental spaces of the dentures in the oral cavity, where a forked and notched handle or auxiliary device is used for dental floss or thread-like material.

In the field of interdental care, as a dental floss aid, we found the following inventions in the patent office archive for this solution. Dental floss handle registration number: CA 024497942 2005-02-22 According to the referenced patent, the head on the dental floss handle is replaceable, and the dental floss is hot-pressed between the forked branches of the removable head.

According to the cited patent, the snap-type fastening can be a source of errors when used repeatedly, including: - the wearable snap part can be released more quickly due to some pressure applied to the surface to be cleaned, - the possibility of breakage and cracking is high, - the handle and the head part form a nearly right angle, which is necessary for a significantly open mouth. - It is not beneficial for people who are helpless or have significantly limited mobility, because due to the forced reactionary closure of the denture, it can break into the oral cavity and end up in the stomach. - It consists of too many parts, which can complicate the process.

Advantage of the invention according to the referenced patent.

The dental floss handle is made of one material, with a notched head and neck part that secures the dental floss. The possibility of breakage is significantly lower, since there are no separate parts in the main parts necessary for its function. Due to the gently curved shape of the neck part, it can be used comfortably even in a smaller open oral cavity. For people who are helpless or have significantly limited mobility, the invention is easier to use because there are no parts that can be inserted into the oral cavity, also due to possible mouth lock. Only the dental floss needs to be replaced, less non-destructible waste is generated when replacing the new dental floss.

According to literature research, the following patent: WO 0023004 2000-04-27 According to the referenced patent: it has an uncomfortable handle design which does not provide a correct, fixed grip during use, and it must be fully inserted into the oral cavity in order to use the device on the back teeth. The mediating device is disposable after use, polluting the environment. Its design is too flat and is prone to breakage and can easily deform.

The advantage of the invention over the referenced patent:

- The shape designed to hold the aid .,... κ

- Practically refillable with dental floss (\

- Preferably formal training (jpp)

- The handle is located outside the oral cavity

- Handle is used for many purposes.

- Contemporary design

- Easier to use due to its more rounded and curved shape

Purpose of the invention: Its application contributes to the daily use of dental floss in the field of dental care, to a more pleasant and enjoyable use, thereby reducing tooth decay, and to a more pleasant and hygienic breath. People with severe mobility disabilities should not lack the more pleasant moments of all this. It aims to develop the usability of known solutions and to improve them.

Solution according to the invention: Thus, an interdental cleaning handle, an auxiliary tool for dental floss, and a dental floss carrier provide a target tool for hard-to-reach interdental spaces, which significantly facilitates interdental cleaning and contributes to the efficiency of dental floss. It also provides less room for error in terms of its structural design, from the handle to the head, a single-piece device without joints.

The essence of the invention: it consists of a handle with a grip shaped like a palm, continued with a neck part shaped in a slimmer curve, which branches in two directions and also contains a dental floss nest - a notch, on which the notches are repeatedly closed with a head part (between which dental floss can be fastened for dental care, all those notches are designed so that after the hook-like fastening of the dental floss, it can be stretched between the head parts by multiple wrapping without knotting; which is sunk into the notches in its continuously narrowing part, so that the dental floss remains taut until the end of dental care. The head parts are at such a distance from each other. That a maximum of one lagrógjílflpősé of the width of the back teeth can also ensure the sawing movement of the dental floss.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention: the material of the toothbrush handle is flexible but not brittle or rubbery plastic.

According to a further advantageous embodiment: The handle is partly covered with anti-slip rubber or plastic made of its own material.

According to a further preferred embodiment: the structure from the handle to the head part is cast in, without any other connections. -J '

According to a further advantageous embodiment: The distance between the two-branching notches of the head part in the stretched state of the dental floss is such that the back teeth can easily fit in them.

According to a further advantageous embodiment: The head part with the notches branching in two directions is large enough for the floss to be stretched so that it is not uncomfortably large when used.

According to a further advantageous embodiment: Notched parts are provided on the branching fork-like neck part.

According to a further advantageous embodiment: A head part with notches is located on a forked neck part.

According to a further preferred embodiment: The notches are designed in such a way that they narrow like a wedge towards the middle of the diameter of the neck and head and do not reach the cross section of the material.

According to the invention, the aid is described in more detail through a drawing, where:

Page 3/2 .shown in figure: toothpick handle and auxiliary tool in side view: 1 handle, 2 neck parts, 5 notched head part, flexible but not too brittle or rubbery, made of molded plastic. 1 handle is shaped to fit the palm of the hand with 7 non-slip rubber covering. 1 handle and 2 neck parts have a support for the thumb and index finger tip at the junction - before and after its formation, a curved shape is visible compared to the slimmer handle and oral cavity, 3 neck fork-like branches from 2 neck parts become further slimmer, and have an oval shape in cross-section. 1.shown in figure: 3 neck fork-like branches are wider due to the grip than the same part shown in figure 2.

The fork-like branch of the neck 3 shown in Figure 3 is thinner than that shown in Figure 1 due to flexibility, and the middle of the fork-like branch of the neck 3 of the neck 2 shown in Figure 2 is not curved so that the fork-like branch of the neck 3 does not break due to the tension created by compression. The end of the cut Y floss thread is placed in the notch located on the fork-like branch of the neck 4. The notch of the 4 neck fork-like branch shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 holds the floss tightly without knotting, and the notches on the head 6 are wound one after the other, so that the Y floss does not loosen after tensioning.

The figure shows: 1 handle 7 non-slip rubber cover 3 fork-like branch of the neck which serves to tension the dental floss and to engage the teeth. 6 The notched part on the head contains three notches.
