Abstract

The invention relates to a toothbrush which makes it possible satisfactorily to clean the teeth 6 by virtue of a specific orientation of the bristles and to reduce the brushing time by at least half, since each surface of the teeth is brushed by a different head. The brush consists of a long handle having a location in its centre for the user's thumb, in order to make it easier to hold, and a triple head: - an upper head 4 for brushing the occlusal surface 7 of the teeth; - two convergent lateral heads 5, together forming an angle of 90 DEG and cleaning the palatal or lingual and vestibular surfaces 8 of the teeth and the tooth/gum boundary 9, massaging the gum margin 10. This brush is intended particularly for adults who do not have dentures fitted.

Description

La présente invention concerne une brosse à dents qui permet de nettoyer 8inultanément les faces palatines ou linguales, vestibulaires et occlusales des dents d'une lne arcade gracie à une orientation optimale des touffes de poile pour obtenir un brossage idéal. The present invention relates to a toothbrush which enables the palatal or lingual, buccal and occlusal surfaces to be cleaned 8inultaneously from the teeth of a free arch in an optimal orientation of the bristle tufts to obtain an ideal brushing.

Traditionnellement les utilisateurs sont contraints de brosser les trois faces des dents les unes après les autres et de faire un effort tout particulier pour maintenir la brosse bien orientée tout au long du brossage. Traditionally, users are forced to brush the three faces of the teeth one after the other and make a very special effort to keep the brush well oriented throughout brushing.

La brosse selon l'invention permet de diminuer environ le temps de brossage normal (trois minutes) par deux et de brosser les trois faces sans en oublier ou sans en privilégier certaines. The brush according to the invention makes it possible to reduce approximately the normal brushing time (three minutes) by two and to brush the three faces without forgetting or without favoring some of them.

la brosse comporte une tête triple et un manche long, et s'utilise dans des mouvements de va-et-vient le long de l'arcade dentaire. Le manche long permet b l'utilisateur une bonne préhension et comporte un emplacement reservé au pouce pour un meilleur contrôle des mouvements. the brush has a triple head and a long handle, and is used in back and forth movements along the dental arch. The long handle allows the user a good grip and has a space reserved for the thumb for better control of movements.

La tête triple correspond à un ensemble de trois brosses traditionnelles, chaque tête nettoyant une face des dents. La tête supérieure ressemble à une teste de brosse h dents ordinaire, elle comporte trois rangées de touffes de poils dans le sens transversal et quatre dans le sens de la longueur. Ces touffes de poils durs de 7mm de long, perpendiculaires à l'axe du manche, per
mettent de nettoyer la face occlusale des dents. De quelques millimètres en arriéré de la tête supérieure en direction du manche, partent deux bras por tant les têtes latérales. Les axes des touffes qu'elles portent sont conver gents et font un angle de 90 entre eux.Les tettes latérales portent trois rangées de touffes dans le sens transversal et quatre dans l'axe de la brosse.The triple head corresponds to a set of three traditional brushes, each head cleaning one side of the teeth. The upper head resembles an ordinary toothbrush test, it has three rows of tufts of hair in the transverse direction and four in the length direction. These tufts of hard hair 7mm long, perpendicular to the axis of the handle, per
put to clean the occlusal side of the teeth. A few millimeters behind the upper head in the direction of the handle, two arms carry the side heads. The axes of the tufts they carry are convergent and make an angle of 90 between them. The side tettes carry three rows of tufts in the transverse direction and four in the axis of the brush.

Les poils de ces têtes sont souples, d'une longueur de 7mm, et permettent
- le nettoyage des faces palatines ou linguales et vestibulaires des dents
- le nettoyage de la limite dent-gencive (point de départ des parodontopathies), les poils etant orientés à 450 par rapport à l'axe des dents
- le massage de la gencive marginale
Lors de la fabrication les trois têtes sont dans un même plan pour permettre l'insertion des poils, les têtes latérales sont ensuite pliées pour les rendre convergentes et rendre ltextrémité des poils des rangées centrales de chaque tête latérale distants de 4 m=. The hairs of these heads are flexible, with a length of 7mm, and allow
- cleaning of the palatal or lingual and vestibular surfaces of the teeth
- the cleaning of the tooth-gum line (starting point of periodontal disease), the hairs being oriented at 450 with respect to the axis of the teeth
- massage of the marginal gum
During manufacture, the three heads are in the same plane to allow the insertion of the bristles, the lateral heads are then folded to make them convergent and make the ends of the bristles of the central rows of each lateral head distant by 4 m =.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention
- la figure I montre la brosse dans son ensemble
- la figure 2 situe les poils de la brosse par rapport aux différentes faces des dents.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention
- Figure I shows the brush as a whole
- Figure 2 locates the bristles of the brush relative to the different faces of the teeth.

La brosse présentée sur la figure I comporte un manche long (I) avec un emplacement en son centre (2) réservé au pouce de l'utilisateur pour une bonne tenue, et une tête triple (3) comportant une tête supérieure (4) et deux tête' latérales (5). The brush presented in FIG. I comprises a long handle (I) with a location in its center (2) reserved for the thumb of the user for good hold, and a triple head (3) comprising an upper head (4) and two lateral heads (5).

La figure 2 montre le rapport des poils des différentes têtes avec les dents (6). La tête supérieure (4) nettoie la face occlusale (7) des dents.Figure 2 shows the ratio of the hairs of the different heads to the teeth (6). The upper head (4) cleans the occlusal surface (7) of the teeth.

Les têtes latérales (5):
- nettoient les faces palatines ou linguales et vestibulaires des dents (8)
- nettoient la limite dent-gencive (9)
- massent les gencives marginales (po). The side heads (5):
