Abstract
Description
Beschreibung description
Elektrische Zahnbürste Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Zahnbürste mit einem elektrisch angetriebenen Bürstenkopf, der über einen Haltearm getragen wird und in einem Winkel von 90 zum Haltearm angeordnet ist.Electric toothbrush The invention relates to a toothbrush with an electrically driven brush head carried by a holding arm and is arranged at an angle of 90 to the support arm.
Bei bisherigen derartigen Ausbildungen wird der Bürstenkopf derart angetrieben, daß er entweder mit hoher Frequenz vibriert, überlagerte seitliche Bewegungen ausführt oder auf einer Achse in Verlängerung des Haltearmes rotiert. Keine dieser Ausbildungen wird dabei den aktuellen Erkenntnissen der Parodontologie gerecht, die ergeben haben, daß die entzündlichen Erscheinungen im Linyivalsaumbereich hervorgerufen werden durch Beläge, die im Sulcus zwischen Zahn und Zahnfleisch verbleiben. Die folgenschwere Zahnhalskaries hat dieselben Ursachen.In previous designs of this type, the brush head is such driven so that it either vibrates at high frequency, superimposed lateral Moves or rotates on an axis in extension of the holding arm. None of these trainings is based on the current knowledge of periodontology just who have shown that the inflammatory phenomena in the linyival hem area caused by plaque that remains in the sulcus between the tooth and the gums. The fatal cervical caries has the same causes.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, auf einfache Weise eine Anordnung zu schaffen, die es ermöglicht, Beläge aus dem Sulcus zu entfernen, um eine optimale Pflege im Rahmen der täglichen Mundhygiene zu gewährleisten.Darüberhinaus soll eine für den Laien leicht zu handhabende Ausbildung geschaffen werden.The object of the invention is to provide an arrangement in a simple manner to create, which makes it possible to remove plaque from the sulcus in order to achieve optimal To ensure care as part of daily oral hygiene easy-to-use training for the layperson.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß dadurch, daß der Bürstenkopf durch mindestens zwei runde Borsten felder gebildet ist, die über zwei parallele Achsen gleichförmig bzw. gegenläufig antreibbar sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the Brush head is formed by at least two round bristle fields that have two parallel axes can be driven uniformly or in opposite directions.
Hierdurch wird eine Zahnbürste geschaffen, die die Vorteile aufweist, daß langsame, kreisende Drehbewegungen erzeugt werden, damit die Borsten Zeit und Gelegenheit haben, in den Sulcus einzudringen und die Beläge dort zu entfernen.This creates a toothbrush that has the advantages that slow, circular rotary movements are generated, so that the bristles time and Have the opportunity to penetrate the sulcus and remove the plaque there.
Eine einfache Ausbildung wird dadurch geschaffen, daß der Antrieb der Borstenfelder über ein Zahnradgetriebe zur Ausbildung eines Umlenkgetriebes erfolgt.A simple training is created in that the drive the bristle fields via a gear drive to form a deflection gear he follows.
Um die in der Praxis wichtige Drehzahlbestimmung vorzunehmen, wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Antriebsgeschwindigkeit der Borstenfelder über einen Schalter stufenlos einstellbar ist.In order to determine the speed, which is important in practice, suggested that the drive speed of the bristle fields via a switch is continuously adjustable.
Zur gleichmäßigen Abnutzung und Beeinflussung der Haltbarkeit ist vorgesehen, daß die Drehrichtung des Antriebs über einen Schalter umkehrbar ist.For even wear and tear and influencing the durability is provided that the direction of rotation of the drive can be reversed via a switch.
Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, daß die Borstenfelder austauschbar ausgebildet sind.It is also provided that the bristle fields are designed to be exchangeable are.
Zur besseren Anpassung an die räumlichen Gegebenheiten des Gebisses wird vorgeschlayen, daß die Borstenfelder mit den Achsen kugelgelenkartig verbunden sind.For better adaptation to the spatial conditions of the dentition it is proposed that the bristle fields are connected to the axes like a ball joint are.
In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung schematisch dargestellt. Es zeigen: Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht einer Zahnbürste Fig. 2 eine um 900 gedrehte Ansicht gemäß Fig. 1 Fig. 3 einen Längsschnitt gemäß Linie 8-8 der Fig. 2 im vergrößerten Maßstab.An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in the drawing shown. 1 shows a side view of a toothbrush 900 rotated view according to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 shows a longitudinal section along line 8-8 of the Fig. 2 on an enlarged scale.
Die dargestellte Zrhnbürste ist mit zwei rotierenden Borstenfeldern 1 als Borstenkopf ausgestattet, die einen Durchmesser von ca. 10 mm und etwa dieselbe Borstenlänge besitzen. Sie rotieren auf zwei parallelen Achsen im Winkel von 90 zur Richtung des Haltearmes, und zwar gegenläufig, damit ein ?1Wegwandern1? des Borstenkopfes auf den Zähnen verhindert wird.The toothbrush shown has two rotating bristle fields 1 equipped as a bristle head, which has a diameter of about 10 mm and about the same Own bristle length. They rotate on two parallel axes at an angle of 90 to the direction of the holding arm, in the opposite direction, so that a? 1Wegwandern1? of Bristle head on the teeth is prevented.
Die Umlcnkung der Kraft erfolgt über kegelförmige Zaberäder 3 aus Metall oder Kunststoff. Der Antrieb wird in bekannter Weise durch einen reversiblen Llektromotor 4 mit Netz-, Akku- oder Batteriebetricb besorgt.The force is reversed via conical gear wheels 3 Metal or plastic. The drive is in a known manner by a reversible Llectromotor 4 with mains, accumulator or battery tetras provided.
Die Inbetriebnahme erfolgt über einen Schalter 5 mit drei Stellungen. Jeweils zwischen den Stellungen AUS und Rechts-und Linkslauf kann die Geschwindigkeit stufenlos über einen variablen Widerstand geregelt werden. Die Umschaltung der Laufrichtung dient der gleichmäßigen Abnutzung und damit der längeren Haltbarkeit der Borsten, die im Übrigen von mittlerer Weichheit sind und abgerundete Spitzen haben und damit den Ansprüchen entsprechen, die heute auch an manuelle Zahnbürsten gestellt werden. Die Anzahl der Borsten beträgt ca. 50/mm Die Borstenträger sind auswechselbar, sie schnappen in ihre Getriebeanteile formschlüssig ein wie der Schaft eines zahnärztlichen Bohrers. Die Dichtung des Getriebes nach außen und die Schnappfunktion werden von 0-Ringen 6 übernommen.Commissioning takes place via a switch 5 with three positions. The speed can be set between the positions OFF and clockwise and counterclockwise rotation can be continuously regulated via a variable resistor. Switching the direction of travel serves the even wear and thus the longer durability of the bristles, which, moreover, are of medium softness and have rounded tips and thus meet the requirements that are also placed on manual toothbrushes today. The number of bristles is approx. 50 / mm. The bristle carriers are exchangeable, they snap into their gear parts in a form-fitting manner like the shaft of a dental one Drill. The seal of the gearbox to the outside and the snap function are from 0 rings 6 taken over.
Ferner ist der gesamte Haltearm der Zahnbürste mitsamt Bürstenkopf austauschbar, um verschiedenen Familienmitgliedern die Benutzung einer Zahnbürste zu ermöglichen, und daher mit einer leicht lösbaren Kupplung 7 mit dem als Griff dienenden Motorgehäuse verbunden.Furthermore, the entire holding arm of the toothbrush including the brush head is interchangeable to allow different family members to use a toothbrush to enable, and therefore with an easily detachable coupling 7 with the handle serving engine housing connected.
