DE202005006568U1 - Toothbrush with integrated toothpaste container, comprising outer sleeve for dispensing of measured quantity - Google Patents

Abstract

The toothbrush is assembled of a main part (2) and an outer sleeve. The main part (2) comprises the bristle area, a shaft with an integrated supply duct and a toothbrush container accommodated inside the handle (5). The container is provided with a row of projections (3) along both sides. A sleeve with longitudinal slots on both sides and recesses (4) positioned alongside the slots is pushed over the container. When the sleeve is moved along the distance between two recesses (4) and engaged with the projections (3) a measured quantity of toothpaste is dispensed through a membrane (1a) onto the bristles.

Description

example

Toothbrushes more usual Type are z.Z. only with toothpaste in tube form or similar used.

In In this case, the problem was solved by putting in the toothbrush at the same time the toothpaste is included.

The Toothpaste can be pre-filled both in the toothbrush and a refill commonly used Toothpastes is also possible. The toothbrush can Used both as a disposable product as well as refillable become. This is at the discretion of the manufacturer.

Of the Advantage of this toothbrush is its compactness, which it is e.g. Business people and travelers made possible without to use the use of space-consuming toothpaste tubes.

An embodiment will be described with reference to 1 to 3 explained.

It demonstrate:

1 in the side view

2 in the side view as a section

3 as a top view of a detail, the rubber membrane ( 1a, b )

in the Protection claim 1, the problem is based on a toothpaste with included To create toothpaste or tooth gel.

It was solved by creating a container in the shaft of the toothbrush. The toothbrush consists of two parts, the part ( 2 ) with brush, shaft, container ( 8th ), the amplification channel ( 7 ), the Fixiernoppe ( 3 ) and the second part ( 5 ), the handle part with the metering piston ( 10 ), the seal ( 9 ), as well as the Fixieraussparungen ( 4 ).

functionality

When the toothbrush is filled, the toothpaste is implied in the bristle area by 5 ) with a short left turn out of the fixing nubs ( 3 ), then press the handle which holds a dosing piston ( 10 ) with seal ( 9 ) contains in the direction of toothbrush, then the toothpaste through the Implizierkanal ( 7 ) and through the rubber membrane ( 1a ) flows into the bristle area.

When the process is complete, you lock the handle ( 5 ) by a slight clockwise rotation with the Fixieraussparungen ( 4 ) in the Fixiernoppen ( 3 ).

Of the Toothbrushing can now be done.

In protection claim 2 is based
when rinsing the bristles after brushing, the rubber membrane ( 1a ) before flushing water into the injection channel ( 7 ), as well as before drying the toothpaste in the channel ( 7 ) for the time to the next use.

The rubber membrane ( 1a ) can consist of 4-8 slots ( 11a ) consist.

When Impliziervorgang (pressure from the piston ( 10 )) the toothpaste swells through the opening of the slots. When the process is over, the opening closes itself by the restoring force of the rubber.

In protection claim 3 is based
when refilling the handle ( 5 ) with the attached dosing piston ( 10 ) is released from the lock as previously described and towards the rear of the brush part end ( 6 ) is pulled out. The resulting vacuum is passed through a rubber membrane ( 1b ), which lets in air, makes up for it.

It also consists of slots ( 11b ), which create an opening when the air is drawn in, again close during the insertion process (under pressure via the piston) and no toothpaste can escape to the outside.

from Principle ago it is a valve with backflow preventer. You can do this Membrane but also by an air screw with valve made of plastic replace.

This is at the discretion of the manufacturer.
