Description

1 Description of the invention

1.1 Index of the current edition of the IPC:

1.2 Title of the invention: Toothbrush-tube (8 options).

1.3 Branch of technology to which the invention belongs:

Toothbrush - tube belongs to the means of sanitation and oral hygiene of man.

1.4 the level of technology

At this time in the world market there are toothbrushes made of solid plastic from well-known companies Colgate, Equafresh. Separately, these same companies produce tubes with a dental cleaner.

Other known toothbrushes that have a cavity for preserving a stock of dental cleaning products and devices for feeding it to the bristles of the head (see, for example, the USSR patent M> 1837828, 1993 p, RF patent JNa 2043063, 1995, international application PCT / us96 / 12694 , 1997, declarative patent for useful model of Ukraine JYe 4948, 2005, US patent .Ns 7021851, 2006, Ukrainian patent for useful model JsГs23061, 2007, patent of Ukraine for useful model Ns25038, 2007, and others) are somewhat impractical, inconvenient to use that is aesthetically unattractive. In some analogues, the head and body of a hollow handle (for example, a toothbrush, a patent of Ukraine, utility model N ° 25038, 2007p), economically and environmentally disadvantageous (for example, a disposable brush, a patent of Ukraine, for a utility model DO.23061, 2007) .

The disadvantage of the currently existing analogues is that the user tries to use the toothbrush as long as possible.

Thus, undesirable consequences may occur, namely: the bristles of the head of the toothbrush can significantly lose their shape; For a long time, pathogens can accumulate on the bristles of the head and each time when cleaning they infect the oral cavity, resulting in oral hygiene not effective. In addition, the currently existing separately modern toothbrushes and tubes with a dental cleaner are somewhat cumbersome and inconvenient, for example, on hikes and trips. The essence of the invention consists in combining a toothbrush and a tube into one product and, thus, obtaining a fundamentally new product of a toothbrush tube.

The technical problem of this invention is directed to the creation of a toothbrush tube with a toothpaste or gel inside; achieving a uniform and effective flow of dental cleaning agent to the bristles of the toothbrush head; use brush - tube not more than a month. Thus, in the course of solving this technical problem, there is a need to create a group of interrelated inventions that are connected by a single inventive concept and cannot exist without each other, namely:

1. a hollow brush-tube handle (4 options), hereinafter referred to as a handle-tube;

2. hollow brush head-tube (2 options) hereinafter referred to as the brush cleaning head;

3. hollow cervical brush-tube (1 option).

The technical problem of the invention of the handle-tube is to create a hollow handle-tube, inside which there is a dental cleaner. It should be of a convenient form, and also contain a sufficient amount of a dental cleaner designed to use a tube brush for no more than one month. In addition, the handle-tube should as fully as possible be emptied of the dental cleaner during its use. The technical problem of the invention of the brush-tube head is to create a hollow comfortable head for effective oral hygiene and to achieve a uniform and effective flow of dental cleaning agent to the bristles of the brush head during brushing.

The technical task of the neck of the brush-tube is to combine the handle-tube and the head of the brush-tube, respectively, to be hollow and strong.

The technical result of the toothbrush tube:

In solving these technical problems in carrying out the invention, it is possible to achieve the expected technical result, namely, to obtain a fundamentally new sanitary-hygienic product, a toothbrush-tube, which combines two currently known sanitary-hygiene products, a toothbrush and a tube with a dental cleaner into one product. Handle-tube (4 options)

Handle-tube (Fug.1) (full size)

Recommended material for production and structure: a hollow handle-tube with parameters, for example, 125 mm long, 20 mm in diameter in the narrowed part, 30 mm in diameter in the expanded part, elastic, dull if possible, a material that will allow to provide an elastic comfortable handle on one side form, on the other hand - the ability to squeeze out a dental cleaner when the tube is exposed to the handle with fingers.

The principle of operation in a static state: when you press the fingers of your hand on a hollow tube handle, an increased pressure of the dental cleaning agent is created inside, which allows it to move along the hollow neck of the brush tube to the head bristles.

Handle-tube (Fug.2) (full size)

Recommended material for the manufacture and structure: a handle-tube of elastic, if possible matte, material with a hollow cylinder (2) inside, with parameters, for example, with a diameter of 19 mm, a length of 116 mm, with a dosing device for a dental cleaner means inside which is formed by an air chamber (3), for example, 9 mm in size, a biconvex piston (4), a lock for the piston (5), which is continuous in the internal cavity of the cylinder and has a rectangular triangle in the longitudinal section of the cylinder which lies, for example, at an angle of 30 degrees to the inner wall of the cylinder.

The principle of the lock in a static state (Fig.Z, Fig.4, Fig.5, Fig.6) (increased 2 times).

When you press your fingers on the air chamber (3), and later on the handle itself, the curvature of the elastic body of the handle-tube occurs. As a result, the slope of the protrusions of the lock (5) changes and the piston (4) moves one (with one pressure), two (with another pressure) positions and locks it with a lock. Thus, an increased pressure of the dental cleaner is created, which allows it to move along the hollow neck of the brush tube to the head bristles.

Handle-tube (Fig.7) (full size)

Recommended material for the manufacture and structure: handle-tube of solid material with a hollow cylinder (2) inside, with parameters = for example, diameter 21mm, length 126mm, with a metering device for a dental cleaner in the form of a screw (8), for example, with a length 29mm pitch (8a) with a tendency to decrease the pitch length towards the neck, and the “barrel” (7), at the end of the tube handle for actuating the auger that attaches to the auger, for example, with a 5 mm screw or any other known in a way.

The principle of operation in a static state: when turning the “barrel”, for example (7), the screw (8) is set in a clockwise direction, thereby creating an increased pressure of the dental cleaner, which allows it to move along the hollow cylinder (2) to the hollow neck of the brush - tube, and then to the bristles of the head.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Handle-tube (Fug.8) (full size)

Recommended material for the manufacture and structure: a handle - a tube of solid material, if possible matte with a hollow cone (6) inside, with parameters, for example, 138 mm long, which smoothly tapers into the neck, with a dispensing device for a dental cleaner inside a cone-shaped auger (9), for example, with a pitch length of 32mm (9a). The auger is driven by a “thump” (7) at the end of a tube handle that is attached to the auger, for example, with a screw of 5 mm in diameter, or by any other known method.

The principle of operation, in the static state: when turning the “barrel” (7), for example, the screw (9) is set in motion in a clockwise direction, thereby creating an increased pressure of the dental cleaner, which allows it to move along the hollow cone (6) to the hollow neck brush tube, and then to the bristles of the head. Brush Head Tubes (2 Options)

The first version of the cleaning head of the brush tube - “Macro head” (Fig.9, Fig.10, Fig.ll, Fig.12, Fig.13) (increased 2 times)

General view (Fig.9, Fig.10, Fig.ll): hollow (11), for example, an oval scrub brush head with parameters, for example, a length of 35 mm, a width of 15 mm. Outside common similarities with a massage brush for hair.

Recommended material for the manufacture and structure: solid material - the basis of the head (15), brush for the tongue (16), for example, typical for the All-molded Cluster ZbO brush, elastic material - convex membrane (17), the edges of which are hermetically connected to the base of the head, which are rigidly attached three types of bristles with parameters, for example, 10 mm long (14), 12 mm long (13) - central row; setae, for example, 14 mm long (12) outer row. In another, the structure of the bristles, and the number of bristles in the bundle, are typical of an ordinary solid-molded toothbrush; there are holes in the outer and central rows of the bristles a membrane for the flow of dental cleaners, for example, 2 mm in diameter (17e).

The principle of operation in a static state (Fig.12, Fig.13): when pressing the bristles on the teeth, the elastic membrane (17) bends, resulting in a change in the inclination of the bristles (14), (13) (12) which improves the cleaning of the teeth, at the same time openings of the membrane (17e), which is located between the bristles, the dental cleaner leaks due to the increased pressure in the head, which is caused on the one hand by hand action (Fig L) on the handle-tube, or special dispensing devices of the handle-tube (FIG. 2; FIG. .7, Fig. 8), and on the other hand by pressing the bristles on the teeth while brushing.

The second variant of the cleaning head of the brush-tube - “Latch” (Fig.14, Fig.15, Fig L 6, Fig 17, Fig 18) (increased 2 times)

General view (Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16): hollow (11), for example, an oval scrub brush head with parameters, for example, a length of 35 mm, a width of 15 mm. From the outside, the similarities with the first version of the head “Loudspeaker” of the brush tube are somewhat different in their internal structure.

Recommended material for the manufacture and structure: solid material - the basis of the head (15), a brush for the tongue (16), for example, typical of a solid cast Colgate ZbO brush. The elastic material is a convex membrane (17), in the holes of which there are moving bristles, namely: five central bristles with parameters, for example, 10 mm long, (14) which, in turn, are attached to springs (15p) to the inner central part of the base. The remaining bristles of the outer row, for example, 14 mm long (12), and the bristles of the central row, for example, 12 mm long (13) are rigidly attached to the membrane. In the other, the structure of the bristles and the number of bristles in the bundle is typical of an ordinary solid-cast toothbrush. The principle of operation in a static state (Fug. 17, Fig. 18): when pressing the bristles on the teeth, a double effect is achieved: pressing the inside of the head, the bristles on the springs (14) are moistened with a dental cleaner, while the elastic membrane (17) is bent slightly. The membrane is bent when the bristles (12) and (13) are pressed on the teeth, which are rigidly fixed to the membrane, as a result of which their inclination changes, which contributes to the achievement of the maximum therapeutic effect of tooth brushing and the economical use of a dental cleaner, due to increased head pressure caused on the one hand by the action of the hand (Fig.l) on the handle-tube, or special dispensing devices of the handle-tube (Fig.2, Fig.4, Fig.5), and on the other hand the pressure of the bristles on the teeth during brushing. Hollow neck brush tube (Fig.19, Fig.20) (increased 2 times).

General view: a hollow neck (20), for example, 39 mm long

The recommended material for the manufacture and structure. The thermometer is a cylindrical cavity made of solid material that expands smoothly from one side to the handle-tube, on the other hand to the head of the brush-tube; with parameters for example, the diameter of the inner narrowed part of the neck of the brush-tube is 5 mm (18), the diameter of the outer narrowed part of the neck of the brush-tube is 7 mm (19).

The principle of operation in a static state: when creating an increased pressure in the tube handle, the dental cleaner moves along the hollow neck of the tube brush to the head of the tube brush. Brush Tube Options (S Options)
