Description
BEREICH DER ERFINDUNGFIELD OF THE INVENTION
Es handelt sich um eine elektrisch betriebene Vorrichtung zur Reinigung der Zahnzwischenräume, genauer gesagt wird ein austauschbares Stück Zahnseide pendelnd bewegt.It is an electrically operated device for cleaning the interdental spaces, more precisely, a replaceable piece of dental floss is oscillatingly moved.
HINTERGRUND DER ERFINDUNG – ZU LÖSENDES PROBLEMBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION - PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED
Die Reinigung von Zahnzwischenräumen ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Mundhygiene. Da Zahnbürsten nur maximal 70% der Zahnzwischenräume erreichen, werden hierzu in der Regel Zahnseide, Mundduschen oder Interdentalbürsten verwendet. Mit einer Zahnseide ist das Problem am effektivsten lösbar, da sich jeder Zwischenraum erreichen lässt.The cleaning of interdental spaces is an important part of oral hygiene. Since toothbrushes only reach a maximum of 70% of the interdental spaces, dental floss, mouthwashes or interdental brushes are usually used for this purpose. With a dental floss, the problem is most effectively solvable, since each space can be achieved.
Die Reinigungswirkung von einfacher Zahnseide ist abhängig von Ihrer Beschaffenheit, wie oft die Zahnseide bewegt wird und mit welcher Kraft sie angedrückt wird.The cleaning effect of simple dental floss depends on the nature of how often the floss is moved and the force with which it is pressed.
Die Verwendung von Zahnseide erfordert vom Anwender eine ausreichende manuelle Beweglichkeit der Finger sowie Übung und eine höheren Zeitaufwand. Bei Nutzung von Zahnseide-Halterungen verringert sich der Aufwand, doch auch hier ist eine gleichzeitige Bewegung der Zahnseide beim Ein- und Ausführen erforderlich – andernfalls besteht bei reinem Eindrücken in den Zahnzwischenraum Verletzungsgefahr.The use of flossing requires the user to have sufficient manual flexibility of the fingers as well as exercise and a greater amount of time. When using floss holders, the effort is reduced, but here too a simultaneous movement of the dental floss during insertion and removal is required - otherwise, there is a risk of injury when purely impressed in the interdental space.
In eiligen Situationen, wie im täglichen Gebrauch, bei denen einem die Geduld oder Motivation der Benutzung normaler Zahnseide fehlt, wird öfter auf diese Verzichtet. Ähnlich ist die bei Personen, die aufgrund Ihres Alters, einer Erkrankung oder einer Behinderung nicht über ausreichende Geschicklichkeit verfügen. Sie benötigen dafür entweder fremde Hilfe oder unterlassen die Reinigung der Zahnzwischenräume.In urgent situations, such as in daily use, where one of the patience or motivation of the use of normal dental floss is missing, is often renounced on this. Similarly, people who do not have sufficient skills due to their age, illness or disability. They either need help from others or refrain from cleaning the interdental spaces.
STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART
Bisher ist Zahnseide für den manuellen Gebrauch als Rollenmaterial, in abgemessenen Stücken oder in speziellen Einweg-Halterungen bekannt. Auch sind Interdentalbürsten bekannt, diese sind jedoch nur für relativ große Zahnzwischenräume tauglich und verfügen über eine begrenzte Reinigungswirkung.So far, dental floss is known for manual use as roll material, in measured pieces or in special disposable holders. Also, interdental brushes are known, but these are only suitable for relatively large interdental spaces and have a limited cleaning effect.

AUFGABENSTELLUNGTASK
Die Aufgabe vorliegender Erfindung ist es, eine Lösung für eine leicht auswechselbare, elektrisch betriebene Zahnseide zu finden. Die Mechanik soll vor Schmutzeintrag geschützt und robust sein. Durch eine kontrollierte, gleichzeitige Bewegung primär entlang der zwei horizontalen Achsen soll die Reinigungswirkung wesentlich verbessert werden.The object of the present invention is to find a solution for an easily replaceable, electrically operated dental floss. The mechanics should be protected against dirt entry and be robust. By a controlled, simultaneous movement primarily along the two horizontal axes, the cleaning effect is to be significantly improved.
LÖSUNGSOLUTION
In einem Gehäuse ist ein Motor verbaut der eine Scheibe antreibt. An dieser Scheibe ist exzentrisch ein Stangenantrieb angesetzt, dieser treibt zwei in der Mitte beweglich, leicht in der Achse geneigt befestigte Haltearme an. Durch die Bewegung des Stangeantriebes ergibt sich eine Bewegung der Haltearme in der ersten horizontalen (x-)Achse, die geneigte Befestigung der Haltearme ergibt eine Bewegung in der zweiten horizontalen (y-)Achse. An den Enden der Haltearme befinden sich Aufnahmen für die Zahnseide.In a housing, a motor is installed which drives a disc. At this disc eccentrically a rod drive is attached, this drives two in the middle movable, slightly inclined in the axis attached holding arms. The movement of the rod drive results in a movement of the Retaining arms in the first horizontal (x) axis, the inclined attachment of the support arms results in a movement in the second horizontal (y) axis. At the ends of the holding arms are recordings for the floss.
An diesen Aufnahmen wird die Zahnseide, die über Haltepunkte an den Enden verfügt, eingerastet und befestigt. Durch die Hin- und Bewegung der Haltearme entsteht in der ersten horizontalen Achse eine verhältnismäßig langgezogene, pendelnde Bewegung. Durch in der Achse geneigte Befestigung der Haltearme ergibt sich eine verhältnismäßig kurze Bewegung in der zweiten horizontalen Achse The dental floss, which has stops on the ends, is snapped into place and attached to these seats. As a result of the movement of the holding arms in the first horizontal axis, a relatively elongated, oscillating movement is created. By inclined in the axis attachment of the support arms results in a relatively short movement in the second horizontal axis
