Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zahnbürste nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a toothbrush according to the preamble of claim 1.
Eine derartige Zahnbürste ist aus der DE 195 38 569 A1 bekannt. Die Borstenbü schel sind dort an flexibel miteinander verbundenen Trägern angeordnet, die in ei nen gemeinsamen Hohlraum des Bürstenkörpers eingesetzt sind. Durch Verformen der Träger bei Belastung der Borstenbüschel ist eine begrenzte Schwenkbewegung der Borstenbüschel möglich. Die gesamte Konstruktion ist jedoch fertigungstech nisch sehr aufwendig.Such a toothbrush is known from DE 195 38 569 A1. The bristle brush Schel are arranged there on flexibly interconnected carriers, which in egg NEN common cavity of the brush body are used. By deforming the carrier when the bristle tufts are loaded is a limited pivoting movement the tufts of bristles possible. However, the entire construction is production-related niche very complex.
Aus der DE 29 60 0159 U1 ist es bekannt, an jeweils einem separaten zylindrischen Borstenträger befestigte Borstenbüschel einzeln in jeweils einem eigenen Hohlraum beweglich anzuordnen. Die Beweglichkeit ist dort jedoch nur axial in Borstenrichtung möglich, so daß eine Schwenkbewegung nicht möglich ist.From DE 29 60 0159 U1 it is known, each on a separate cylindrical Bristle tufts attached bristle tufts individually in their own cavity to be arranged to be movable. The mobility is only axial in the bristle direction possible so that a pivoting movement is not possible.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Zahnbürste zu schaffen, die eine optimale Pflege der Zähne, der Zahnzwischenräume und des Zahnfleisches ermöglicht und außer dem mit modernen Fertigungsverfahren kostengünstig herstellbar ist.The object of the invention is to provide a toothbrush that provides optimal care the teeth, the interdental spaces and the gums and beyond which is inexpensive to manufacture with modern manufacturing processes.
Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des An spruchs 1.The problem is solved by the characteristic features of the contractor saying 1.
Mit der Befestigung von Borstenbüscheln an beweglich gelagerten Kugeln ergibt sich ein völlig neuer Effekt bei der Zahnpflege, d. h. durch einen sanften Druck bei der Zahnpflege werden die Kugeln in Rotation versetzt. Dadurch kann eine (teil-) kreisförmige Bewegung der Borstenbüschel erreicht werden. Damit ist durch soge nannte Kugelgelenke, bestehend aus kugelförmigen Hohlräumen und den Kugeln unter Berücksichtigung des Druckes bzw. der Bewegungen des Bürstenkopfes eine Bewegung der Borsten der Borstenbüschel in allen drei Freiheitsgraden möglich.With the attachment of tufts of bristles to movably mounted balls a completely new effect in dental care, d. H. by applying a gentle pressure the balls are rotated during dental care. This allows a (partial) circular movement of the bristle tufts can be achieved. This is through so-called called ball joints, consisting of spherical cavities and the balls taking into account the pressure or the movements of the brush head Bristle tufts can be moved in all three degrees of freedom.
Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Zahnbürste besteht in der Anordnung von Kanä len auf der Seite des Bürstenkopfes, die der Bürstenseite gegenüber liegt, und dient in erster Linie der Entwässerung des Bürstenkopfes. Als weiterer erwünschter Effekt ist eine Entlüftung und Reinigung des Bürstenkopfes, vor allem des Kugelgelenks, jederzeit gegeben. Die Kanäle werden zweckmäßigerweise als Bohrungen ausge führt sein.An advantageous development of the toothbrush is the arrangement of Kanä len on the side of the brush head, which is opposite the brush side, and serves primarily the drainage of the brush head. Another desired effect is a ventilation and cleaning of the brush head, especially the ball joint, given at any time. The channels are expediently bores leads.
Die Verwendung von fest angeordneten Zusatzborstenbüscheln auf der Borsten seite des Bürstenkopfes zwischen den beweglichen Borstenbüscheln hat eine zu sätzliche unterstützende Wirkung und stellt eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Zahnbürste dar.The use of fixed additional tufts of bristles on the bristles side of the brush head between the movable bristle tufts has one too additional supportive effect and represents a further advantageous training the toothbrush.
Vorteilhaft ist es weiterhin, daß jedes Borstenbüschel und jedes Zusatzborstenbü schel aus Borsten unterschiedlicher Länge besteht.It is also advantageous that each bristle tuft and each additional bristle tuft Schel consists of bristles of different lengths.
