Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Zahnbürste mit einem Antrieb, einem Stiel und einem Bürstkopf, wobei sich die Borsten des Bürstkopfes im Wesentlichen radial zum Stiel erstrecken.The invention relates to an electrical toothbrush with a drive, a handle and a brush head, with the bristles of the brush head extend substantially radially to the stem.
Derartige elektrische Zahnbürsten sind bekannt. Hierbei wird ein Bürstkopf verwendet, der im rechten Winkel zum Stiel der Zahnbürste angeordnet ist und vom Antrieb hin- und herschwingend bewegt wird. Durch ein schnelles Hin- und Herdrehen des Bürstkopfes werden die Zähne schonend gereinigt und das Zahnfleisch massiert.Such electric toothbrushes are known. This is a brush head used, which is arranged at right angles to the handle of the toothbrush and is swung back and forth by the drive. With a quick one Turning the brush head back and forth become the teeth gently cleaned and the gums massaged.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, derartige Zahnbürsten weiterzuentwickeln. Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass bei einer gattungsgemäßen elektrischen Zahnbürste der Antrieb die Borsten um den Stiel bewegt.The invention is based, such Toothbrushes further. This task is solved in that in a generic electrical toothbrush the drive moves the bristles around the stem.
Der Antrieb ist hierbei so angeordnet, dass die Borsten sich um die Längsachse des Stiels bewegen, wenn der Antrieb angeschaltet wird.The drive is arranged here that the bristles are around the longitudinal axis of the stick when the drive is switched on.
Bei mechanischen Zahnbürsten wird vorgeschlagen, dass vom Zahnfleisch zur Zahnspitze gebürstet werden soll. Die erfindungsgemäße Zahnbürste erlaubt genau diese Bewegung, ohne dass der Griff bewegt werden muss.With mechanical toothbrushes suggested that be brushed from the gums to the tooth tip should. The toothbrush according to the invention allows exactly this movement without having to move the handle.
Hierbei können sich die Borsten ausschließlich an einer Seite des Stiels erstrecken. Sie können auf einem vorbestimmten Winkelbereich um den Stiel herum angeordnet sein oder sie können sich sogar im Wesentlichen um den Stiel herum erstrecken. Dies ermöglicht es, eine Vielzahl an Borsten am Stiel anzubringen, die nacheinander mit den Zähnen oder dem Zahnfleisch in Kontakt kommen.Here, the bristles can only on extend one side of the stem. You can on a predetermined Angular range around the stem or they can be even extend substantially around the stem. This enables attach a variety of bristles to the stem one after the other with teeth or come in contact with the gums.
Eine erste Variante der elektrischen Zahnbürste sieht vor, dass die Borsten um den Stiel hin- und herschwingen. Dies führt zu einem Auf- und Ab der Borsten an den Zähnen und somit zu einer Bürstbewegung vom Zahnfleisch zu den Zahnspitzen und danach von den Zahnspitzen zum Zahnfleisch. Wobei sich die Amplituden und/oder die Frequenz individuell bestimmen lassen.A first variant of the electrical toothbrush provides for the bristles to swing back and forth around the stem. this leads to to an up and down of the bristles on the teeth and thus to a brushing movement from the gums to the tips of the teeth and then from the tips of the teeth to the gums. Whereby the amplitudes and / or the frequency have it determined individually.
Die Borsten können sich aber auch um den Stiel herum bewegen. Dies führt je nach eingestellter Drehrichtung zu einer kontinuierlichen Bürstbewegung vom Zahnfleisch zu den Zahnspitzen oder anders herum.The bristles can also be around the stem move around. this leads to depending on the set direction of rotation for a continuous brushing movement from the gums to the tips of the teeth or vice versa.
Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Richtung des Antriebs umschaltbar ist. Dies ermöglicht es, beim Zähneputzen je nach Haltung der Zahnbürste relativ zu den Zähnen die Drehrichtung der Zahnbürste zu verändern. Dabei kann beispielsweise der gesamte Zahnbereich ausschließlich mit einer Bürstbewegung vom Zahnfleisch zu den Zahnspitzen behandelt werden.It is advantageous if the direction the drive is switchable. This makes it possible to brush your teeth depending on the position of the toothbrush relative to the teeth the direction of rotation of the toothbrush to change. For example, the entire tooth area can only be included a brushing movement from Gums are treated to the tips of the teeth.
Eine Ausführungsvariante sieht vor, dass der beschriebenen Bewegung eine lineare Bewegung in Stielrichtung überlagert ist. Beispielsweise ein Hin- und Herbewegen des Bürstkopfes in Richtung des Stieles führt zu einer besonders angenehmen Bürstbewegung.An embodiment variant provides that a linear movement in the direction of the handle is superimposed on the movement described is. For example, moving the brush head back and forth leads in the direction of the stem for a particularly pleasant brushing movement.
Versuche haben gezeigt, dass ein besonders gutes und angenehmes Zähneputzen dadurch erzielbar ist, dass sich die Geschwindigkeit des Antriebs periodisch ändert. Dadurch werden die Borsten in regelmäßigem Abstand schnell und langsam relativ zum Zahn bewegt.Trials have shown that a particularly good and pleasant brushing of teeth can be achieved that the speed of the drive changes periodically. Thereby the bristles are spaced at regular intervals moved quickly and slowly relative to the tooth.
Um den Anpressdruck der Borsten an den Zähnen periodisch zu variieren wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Borsten auf einem ovalen Grundkörper angeordnet sind. Es können auch längere und kürzere Borsten auf einem Grundkörper angeordnet werden, um den Anpressdruck zu variieren. Außerdem kann der Stiel in seiner Längsrichtung eine Stufe aufweisen, so dass bei gleichen Abstand des Griffes relativ zu den Zähnen der Abstand zwischen Borsten und Zahn variiert.To the contact pressure of the bristles teeth It is suggested that the bristles be periodically varied an oval body are arranged. It can even longer ones and shorter bristles on a basic body be arranged to vary the contact pressure. In addition, the Stalk in its longitudinal direction have a step so that with the same distance of the handle relative to teeth the distance between bristles and tooth varies.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Zahnbürste ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt.An embodiment of a toothbrush according to the invention is shown in the drawing.

Die Unteransprüche beschreiben Ausgestaltungen, die erfindungsgemäß auch bei herkömmlichen elektrischen Zahnbürsten einsetzbar sind, um des Pflegeergebnis zu verbessern.The subclaims describe configurations, which also according to the invention usual electric toothbrushes can be used to improve the care result.
