Abstract

The method involves enabling a motor driven roller brush (5) to take a rotational direction as a result of movement of a sensor (6) from a flexible resting position (8) to an angular position with respect to a rotary axis (7). The brush is shifted in a direction by the displacement of the sensor by a switch device. A sensor shaft coaxially enclosing a brush shaft is arranged to be radially conical. Flexible bristles of the roller brush are arranged to be radial towards the axis. A motor is actively decelerated during a transition of the sensor to the resting position.

Description

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Insbesondere motorisch betriebene Zahnputzwerkzeuge werden nur eingeschränkt den Erfordernissen der täglichen Reinigung und Pflege der Zähne bzw. des Zahnfleisches gerecht. Auf- und abschwindende bzw. schallbewegte Bürsten in Leistenform vermögen zwar die Zahnzwischenräume zu reinigen, bewirken aber das unerwünschte Zurückdrängen des Zahnfleisches mit Freilegen der Zahnhälse. Drehschwingende Tellerbürsten erreichen kaum die wichtigen Zahnzwischenräume und können ferner das Zahnfleisch zurückdrängen. Die Massage des Zahnfleischs ist in beiden Fällen am Übergang vom Zahn zum Zahnfleisch problematisch. Der Pflegegrundsatz, die Zahnbürste vom Zahnfleisch zum Zahn bzw. von „rot nach weiss" zu streichen, lässt sich mit den bekannten motorisch betriebene Zahnputzwerkzeugen nicht durchführen.Especially Powered toothbrushes are limited Requirements of the daily Cleaning and care of the teeth or the gums. Up and down or sound-moving to brush in the form of strips although the interdental spaces to clean, but cause the unwanted repression of the gums with Exposing the tooth necks. Rotary vibrating Disc brushes barely reach the important interdental spaces and can also affect the gums push back. The Massage of the gums is in both cases at the transition from tooth to gum problematic. The care principle, the toothbrush from the gums to the tooth or from "red to paint white, let yourself not with the known motor-operated toothbrushes carry out.

Die Erfindung ist durch 7 Ansprüche und der nachfolgenden Beschreibung mit 9 Figuren und vorteilhaften Ausstattungen gekennzeichnet.It is therefore the object of this invention, with the method for dental care to create gum massage devices that are known Avoid disadvantages. The invention is characterized by 7 claims and the following description with 9 figures and advantageous features characterized.

Beschreibung:Description:

Das erfindungsgegenständliche Verfahren zur Zahnpflege mit Zahnfleischmassage verwendet eine Walzenbürste 5 von geeigneter Form, Borstendichte und Härte, die auf der Bürstenwelle 10 mit der Achse 7 angebracht ist, welche von einem Motor im angedeuteten griffigen Gehäuse 11 angetrieben wird. Ferner verfügt dieser Anordnung über einen Fühler 6, welcher die beidseitig elastische radiale Ruhelage 8 bezüglich der Achse 7 einnimmt und in der Nähe der Walzenbürste 5 angeordnet ist. Radiale Auslenkungen des Fühlers 6 bewirken, über eine geeignete Schaltvorrichtung, mit der Inbetriebnahme des Motors die Rotation der Walzenbürste in dem selben Drehsinn, der sich aus der radialen Auslenkung des freien Endes des Fühlers 6 bezüglich der Achse 7 ergibt.The inventive method for dental care with gum massage uses a roller brush 5 of suitable shape, bristle density and hardness, on the brush shaft 10 with the axis 7 is attached, which of a motor in the indicated grip housing 11 is driven. Furthermore, this arrangement has a sensor 6 , which the two-sided elastic radial rest position 8th with respect to the axis 7 and near the roller brush 5 is arranged. Radial deflections of the probe 6 cause, via a suitable switching device, with the commissioning of the motor, the rotation of the roller brush in the same direction of rotation, resulting from the radial deflection of the free end of the probe 6 with respect to the axis 7 results.

Vorzugsweise ist der Fühler 6 gemäß 9 auf der Fühlerwelle 9 angebracht, die koaxial und friktionsarm die Bürstenwelle 10 umschließt. Die Fühlerwelle 9 ist um die Achse 7 schwenkbar, weist bezüglich des Gehäuses 11 die elastische Ruhelage 8 auf und ragt zur geeigneten Wellenführung und Betätigung der Schaltvorrichtung in das Gehäuse 11. Der Fühler 6 auf der Fühlerwelle 9 hat, radial betrachtet, Keilform mit der Verjüngung an ihrem freien Ende.Preferably, the sensor is 6 according to 9 on the sensor shaft 9 attached, the coaxial and low friction brush shaft 10 encloses. The sensor shaft 9 is around the axis 7 pivotable, points with respect to the housing 11 the elastic rest position 8th on and protrudes to the appropriate wave guide and actuation of the switching device in the housing 11 , The feeler 6 on the sensor shaft 9 has, viewed radially, wedge shape with the taper at its free end.

In den 1 bis 4 werden die unterschiedlichen Szenarien der Anwendung einer Vorrichtung nach dem Verfahren zur Zahnpflege mit Zahnfleischmassage an symbolischen Darstellungen des geöffneten Mundes von links auf die Medianebene des Kopfes mit dem Oberkiefer samt Schneidezahn 1, dem Unterkiefer samt Schneidezahn 2, dem Vestibularraum 3 und der Oralraum 4 dargestellt, die 5 bis 8 geben die Projektion auf die Medianebene von rechts wider. In beiden Darstellungen blickt der Betrachter vom Gehäuse 11 auf die Walzenbürste 5, was als angedeutetes Gefieder des Richtungspfeils der Achse 7 kenntlich gemacht ist. Bei der Einführung der gegenständlichen Vorrichtung zur Behandlung der Zähne im Vestibularraum 3 ragt der Fühler 6 gemäß 1, 2, 5, 6 in den Oralraum 4, während bei der Einführung der gegenständlichen Vorrichtung zur Behandlung der Zähne im Oralraum 4 der Fühler 6 gemäß 3, 4, 7, 8 in den Vestibularraum 3 ragt. Die Achse 7 der Walzenbürste 5 nimmt in diesen Darstellungen jeweils die senkrechte Position zur Medianebene ein, was der Handhabung von Zahnreinigungswerkzeugen, hier mit dem Gehäuse 11, entspricht.In the 1 to 4 The different scenarios of application of a device according to the method of dental care with gum massage to symbolic representations of the open mouth from the left to the median plane of the head with the upper jaw and incisor 1 , the lower jaw and incisor 2 , the vestibular room 3 and the oral space 4 represented, the 5 to 8th reflect the projection to the median plane from the right. In both illustrations, the viewer looks from the housing 11 on the roller brush 5 , what as indicated plumage of the directional arrow of the axis 7 indicated. At the introduction of the present device for the treatment of teeth in the vestibular space 3 the sensor sticks out 6 according to 1 . 2 . 5 . 6 in the oral cavity 4 while in the introduction of the present device for the treatment of teeth in the oral space 4 the feeler 6 according to 3 . 4 . 7 . 8th in the vestibular room 3 protrudes. The axis 7 the roller brush 5 takes in these representations in each case the vertical position to the median plane, which is the handling of dental cleaning tools, here with the housing 11 , corresponds.

Berührt der Fühler 6 den Inzisal- bzw Okklusalbereich der Zähne, dann beginnt die Walzenbürste 5 gemäß dem erfindungsgegenständlichen Verfahren zur Zahnpflege mit Zahnfleischmassage stets so zu rotieren, daß die Drehrichtung der Walzenbürste 5 der radialen Auslenkung des Fühlers 6 um die Drehachse 7 folgt. Dadurch wird gewährleistet, daß das Zahnfleisch immer in Richtung der betreffenden Zähne, also vom Zahnfleisch zum Zahn hin bzw. von „rot nach weiss", gebürstet und massiert wird. Dabei durchstreifen die Borsten der Walzenbürste 5 die Approximalräume in Längsrichtung mit der gewünschten reinigenden Wirkung. Um mit diesem Verfahren auch die Inzisal- bzw Okklusalkante der Zähne zu erreichen, wird der Fühler 6 in radialer Richtung als Keil geformt um so die Auslenkung zu vergrößern, welche die frühe Inbetriebnahme des Motors bewirkt. Bei der selbständigen Rückstellung der Fühlers 6 in die Ruhelage 8 wird der Motor aktiv abgebremst und damit die Rotation der Walzenbürste 5 beendet.Touch the feeler 6 the incisal or occlusal area of the teeth, then the roller brush begins 5 according to the inventive method for dental care with gum massage always rotate so that the direction of rotation of the roller brush 5 the radial deflection of the probe 6 around the axis of rotation 7 follows. This ensures that the gums are always brushed and massaged in the direction of the teeth in question, ie from the gum to the tooth or from "red to white." The bristles roam through the roller brush 5 the Approximalräume in the longitudinal direction with the desired cleaning effect. To reach the incisal or occlusal edge of the teeth with this procedure, the feeler becomes 6 formed in the radial direction as a wedge so as to increase the deflection, which causes the early commissioning of the engine. At independent reset of the probe 6 in the rest position 8th The motor is braked actively and thus the rotation of the roller brush 5 completed.

Die Fühlerwelle 9 kann mit einer, dem Fühlers 6 gegenüber angeordneten, zylindrischen Teilschale versehen sein, welche die freien Borsten der rotierenden Walzenbürste 5 zum Schutz der Lippen bzw. der Zunge abdeckt. Die Borsten der Walzenbürste 5 sind radial angeordnet und können von unterschiedlicher Steifigkeit sein, um so weitere Massageeffekte entlang der Achse 7 zu erzielen.The sensor shaft 9 can with one, the feeler 6 arranged opposite, cylindrical partial shell be provided, which are the free bristles of the rotating roller brush 5 covering the lips or tongue. The bristles of the roller brush 5 are arranged radially and can be of different stiffness, so as to further massage effects along the axis 7 to achieve.
