Description
本發明是有關於一種牙刷。 本申請案基於2016年3月9日在日本申請的日本專利特願2016-045368號並主張優先權,且將其內容引用於本申請案中。The present invention relates to a toothbrush. This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-045368 filed in Japan on March 9, 2016 and claims priority, and the content is cited in this application.
於預防齲齒、牙周病時,重要的是藉由使用牙刷的刷牙來去除口腔內的牙菌斑(plaque)。先前,為了提高牙菌斑去除效果,提出有各種牙刷。例如,藉由使牙刷的頭部變薄,並使頸部變細,而可使牙刷毛到達通常的牙刷難以到達的臼齒的深處(臼齒的咽喉側)。於專利文獻1中記載有一種頭部經薄型化、且於口腔內的操作性優異的牙刷。
另一方面,對於有牙周疾病的生活者等而言,藉由使用牙刷的刷牙來去除牙周袋(periodontal pocket)的污垢、或牙齦的按摩變得重要。於去除牙周袋的污垢、或牙齦的按摩時,需要牙刷毛的適度的彎曲,迄今為止提出有使直徑細的牙刷毛密集的牙刷、或使用前端極細毛等的牙刷。
[現有技術文獻]
[專利文獻]When preventing tooth decay and periodontal disease, it is important to remove plaque in the oral cavity by brushing with a toothbrush. Previously, various toothbrushes have been proposed in order to improve the effect of removing plaque. For example, by thinning the head of the toothbrush and thinning the neck, the toothbrush bristles can reach the depths of the molars (the throat side of the molars), which is difficult to reach with normal toothbrushes.
[專利文獻1]日本專利特開平7-143914號公報[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-143914
[發明所欲解決之課題] 但是,若為了提高對於通常的牙刷難以到達的臼齒的深處等的清掃力而僅使牙刷的頭部變薄,則頭部的耐折強度或毛束的脫落強度下降,且牙刷的品質下降。另外,因使頭部變薄,於使用時頭部容易彎曲且毛束擴展等而損害使用者的使用感。因此,使頭部變薄存在極限。 另外,藉由加大牙刷毛的彎曲,使對於牙齦的接觸感變得良好,而可提高使用感。但是,若牙刷毛的彎曲過大,則產生如下等問題:牙刷毛朝牙周袋中的進入性下降且清掃力下降,或毛分叉變大,牙刷的耐久性下降。[The problem to be solved by the invention] However, if only the head of the toothbrush is made thin in order to improve the cleaning power against the deep parts of the molars, etc., which are difficult to reach with a normal toothbrush, the bending strength of the head or the strength of the hair bundle falling off will decrease, and the quality of the toothbrush will decrease. . In addition, due to the thinning of the head, the head tends to bend and the hair bundles expand during use, which impairs the user's feeling of use. Therefore, there is a limit to making the head thinner. In addition, by increasing the curvature of the toothbrush bristles, the contact feeling to the gums becomes better, and the feeling of use can be improved. However, if the curvature of the toothbrush bristles is too large, problems such as a decrease in the penetration of the toothbrush bristles into the periodontal pocket and a decrease in the cleaning power, or the increase in the branching of the bristles, the durability of the toothbrush decreases.
本發明是鑒於所述情況而成者,其目的在於提供一種清掃力更優異、且使用感更優異的牙刷。 [解決課題之手段]The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a toothbrush that is more excellent in cleaning power and more comfortable in use. [Means to solve the problem]

[第1發明]
以下,參照圖1A及圖1B來說明第1發明的牙刷的實施形態。
圖1A及圖1B的牙刷1包括:於俯視下為大致四邊形的頭部2、延伸設置於該頭部2的頸部4、及延伸設置於該頸部4的柄部6(以下,亦將頭部2與頸部4及柄部6合起來稱為柄體10)。於所述頭部2中設置有植毛部(未圖示)。[First Invention]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the toothbrush of the first invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B.
The
柄體10是作為整體一體成形為長條狀者,例如為將樹脂作為材料並藉由射出成形所獲得者。
作為柄體的材質,可列舉:聚丙烯樹脂(Polypropylene,PP)、聚縮醛樹脂(聚甲醛(Polyoxymethylene,POM))、聚苯乙烯樹脂(Polystyrene,PS)、聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯樹脂(Polyethylene terephthalate,PET)、聚對苯二甲酸丁二酯樹脂(Polybutylene terephthalate,PBT)、丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯樹脂(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene,ABS)、聚芳酯樹脂、聚碳酸酯樹脂、丙烯腈-苯乙烯樹脂(Acrylonitrile Styrene,AS)、聚酯樹脂(聚(1,4-伸環己基二亞甲基對苯二甲酸)(Poly(l,4-cyclohexylene dimethylene terephthalic acid),PCTA))等。該些之中,就強度高、成形性優異的方面等而言,較佳為PP、POM、PBT,更佳為PP、POM。另外,就能夠以更低的成本進一步獲得本發明的效果的方面而言,柄體的材質特佳為PP。
所述樹脂可單獨使用一種,亦可將兩種以上組合使用。
柄體的材質的彎曲彈性係數較佳為1200 MPa~3000 MPa,更佳為1500 MPa~3000 MPa。若柄體的材質的彎曲彈性係數為所述範圍,則可將頭部的彎曲量設定成適當的值,並關係到口腔內的清掃力或操作性的提昇、使用者的使用感的提昇。再者,柄體的材質的彎曲彈性係數是依據日本工業標準(Japanese Industrial Standards,JIS)K7171來測定。
另外,柄體10的柄部6的一部分或全部可由軟質樹脂包覆。藉由柄部6的一部分或全部由軟質樹脂包覆,可進一步提高使用者握住柄部6時的握持性。作為所述軟質樹脂,例如可列舉:聚烯烴系彈性體、苯乙烯系彈性體、聚酯系彈性體、聚胺基甲酸酯系熱塑性彈性體等彈性體樹脂,矽樹脂等。The
柄體10的長度L1可考慮操作性等來決定,例如設為150 mm~200 mm。The length L1 of the
頭部2是將柄體10的長度方向作為長邊,於俯視下呈4個頂部由曲線來形成切角的大致四邊形的平板狀。於頭部2的一個面(植毛面20)上形成有多個植毛孔22。於該植毛孔22中植設將牙刷毛捆紮而成的毛束,形成包含多個毛束的植毛部。
再者,於本說明書中,所謂俯視,是指自頭部的植毛面側觀察牙刷。將與植毛面20平行且與柄體10的長度方向正交的方向設為寬度,將與植毛面20正交的方向設為厚度。此外,將面對植毛面20之側設為表面,將面對植毛面20之側的相反側設為背面。
於俯視下,頭部2隨著自前端9朝向頸部4,於寬度方向上擴大,其次以同等的寬度延伸,繼而於寬度方向上縮小,最後到達與頸部4的邊界P1。The
於本實施形態中,邊界P1是頭部2的俯視形狀中的形成自頸部4起的切角的曲線的終點,即形成切角的曲線的彎曲方向變化的位置。即,頭部與頸部的邊界P1是自俯視下的頭部中的形成自頸部起的切角部分的寬度變小的兩邊緣的曲線或直線R1變化成寬度擴大的曲線或直線、或者寬度相同的直線的位置。另外,於在俯視下寬度隨著頸部朝向柄部而變大的牙刷的情況下,邊界P1與在俯視下頭部與頸部中的寬度最小的位置一致。
再者,例如存在如頭部與頸部以相同的寬度形成的牙刷般,難以特別規定所述邊界P1的位置的情況。於此情況下,相對於長度L1,將自柄體10的前端9起17.5%的位置(例如,當長度L1為180 mm時,自柄體10的前端9起31.5 mm的位置)設為邊界P1。In the present embodiment, the boundary P1 is the end point of the curve forming the chamfered corner from the
頭部2的大小可考慮於口腔內的操作性等來決定。
頭部2的最大寬度W1若過大,則於口腔內的操作性下降,若過小,則進行植毛的毛束的數量變得過少,清掃力容易受損。因此,寬度W1例如設為5 mm~13 mm。
頭部2的厚度T1較佳為2.0 mm~4.0 mm,更佳為2.0 mm~3.5 mm,進而更佳為2.5 mm~3.2 mm。若厚度T1為所述下限值以上,則於頭部2中容易確保充分的強度。進而,容易於厚度方向上形成植毛孔22,容易將毛束牢固地植設於植毛孔22中且容易抑制毛束脫落。另外,若厚度T1為所述上限值以下,則可進一步提高牙刷1於口腔內的操作性。進而,可使牙刷毛到達臼齒的深處等口腔內的各個角落,可進一步提高口腔內的污垢去除效果。
再者,當頭部2的厚度不固定時,T1表示頭部2的最小的厚度。
頭部2的長度L2若過長,則於口腔內的操作性容易受損,若過短,則進行植毛的毛束的數量變得過少,清掃效果容易受損。因此,長度L2例如於10 mm~40 mm的範圍內適宜決定。The size of the
植毛孔22的形狀並無特別限定,可列舉:正圓或橢圓等圓形、三角形或四邊形等多邊形等。
植毛孔22的數量並無特別限定,例如設為10~60。
植毛孔22的直徑對應於所要求的毛束的粗度來決定,例如設為1 mm~3 mm。
植毛孔22的排列圖案並無特別限定,可為所謂的網格狀或鋸齒狀等任何排列圖案。The shape of the
作為構成毛束的牙刷毛,可列舉:其直徑朝向毛尖逐漸變小的牙刷毛(錐形毛),除毛尖的圓形部分以外外徑大致相同的牙刷毛(直毛),毛尖變成篦狀、球狀、前端分裂狀等形狀的牙刷毛。 作為牙刷毛,較佳為錐形毛。藉由將牙刷毛設為錐形毛,可提高牙周袋等的污垢去除效果。進而,可提高牙齦的按摩效果,且使用感進一步提昇。Examples of toothbrush bristles constituting the tufts include: toothbrush bristles (tapered bristles) whose diameter gradually becomes smaller toward the tip of the bristles, toothbrush bristles (straight bristles) with approximately the same outer diameter except for the round part of the tip, and the tip of the bristles becomes a grate , Spherical, split-end toothbrush bristles. The toothbrush bristles are preferably tapered bristles. By setting the toothbrush bristles into tapered bristles, the effect of removing dirt from periodontal pockets can be improved. Furthermore, the massage effect of the gums can be improved, and the feeling of use can be further improved.
作為牙刷毛的材質,例如可列舉:6-12尼龍、6-10尼龍等聚醯胺,PET、PBT、聚對苯二甲酸丙二酯(Polytrimethylene terephthalate,PTT)、聚萘二甲酸乙二酯(Polyethylene naphthalate,PEN)、聚萘二甲酸丁二酯(Polybutylene naphthalate,PBN)等聚酯,聚丙烯等聚烯烴,烯烴系彈性體、苯乙烯系彈性體等合成樹脂材料。該些樹脂材料可單獨使用一種,亦可將兩種以上組合使用。 另外,牙刷毛亦可為具有芯部與設置於該芯部的外側的至少1層以上的鞘部的多重芯結構。Examples of the material of the toothbrush bristles include polyamides such as 6-12 nylon and 6-10 nylon, PET, PBT, polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), and polyethylene naphthalate. (Polyethylene naphthalate, PEN), Polybutylene naphthalate (PBN) and other polyesters, polypropylene and other polyolefins, olefin-based elastomers, styrene-based elastomers and other synthetic resin materials. One kind of these resin materials may be used alone, or two or more kinds may be used in combination. In addition, the toothbrush bristles may have a multiple core structure having a core and at least one or more sheaths provided on the outside of the core.
牙刷毛的橫剖面形狀較佳為正圓形,但未必限定於正圓形,可對應於牙刷1的目的用途而設為任意的形狀。例如可設為橢圓形、多邊形(例如三角形、四邊形、五邊形、六邊形等)、異形(例如星形、三葉的三葉草形、四葉的三葉草形等)等。The cross-sectional shape of the toothbrush bristles is preferably a perfect circle, but it is not necessarily limited to a perfect circle, and can be set to any shape corresponding to the intended use of the
各牙刷毛的粗度並無特別限定,例如於橫剖面為正圓形的情況下,較佳為4 mil~8 mil(1 mil=1/1000 inch=0.025 mm)。若為所述下限值以上,則自立性提昇且清掃性進一步變高,若為所述上限值以下,則毛束11的毛硬變得適度,接觸感變得更良好。 構成毛束11的牙刷毛可全部為相同的粗度,亦可將兩種以上的粗度不同的牙刷毛加以組合。The thickness of each toothbrush bristles is not particularly limited. For example, when the cross section is a perfect circle, it is preferably 4 mil to 8 mil (1 mil=1/1000 inch=0.025 mm). If it is more than the said lower limit value, the self-standing property will improve and cleaning property will become higher, and if it is less than the said upper limit value, the hairiness of the hair|bristle bundle 11 will become moderate, and the touch feeling will become more favorable. The toothbrush bristles constituting the bristle bundle 11 may all have the same thickness, or two or more kinds of toothbrush bristles with different thicknesses may be combined.
牙刷毛的毛長例如大人用的牙刷毛較佳為設為8 mm~15 mm,兒童用的牙刷毛較佳為設為6 mm~12 mm。另外,就口腔內的使用性或使用感的方面而言,較佳為所選擇的牙刷毛的直徑越小,越縮短牙刷毛的毛長。另外,亦可對應於使用感或刷掃感、清掃效果、耐久性等目的,將粗度不同的多根牙刷毛組合使用。The hair length of the toothbrush bristles, for example, the toothbrush bristles for adults is preferably set to 8 mm to 15 mm, and the toothbrush bristles for children are preferably set to 6 mm to 12 mm. In addition, in terms of usability and usability in the oral cavity, it is preferable that the smaller the diameter of the selected toothbrush bristles, the shorter the hair length of the toothbrush bristles. In addition, it is also possible to combine a plurality of toothbrush bristles with different thicknesses in accordance with the purpose of the usability, the brushing feeling, the cleaning effect, the durability, and the like.
頸部4是將頭部2與柄部6連接者。
於本實施形態中,頸部4自邊界P1朝向柄部6以大致相同的直徑延伸,繼而進行擴徑,最後到達與柄部6的邊界P2。所述邊界P2是頸部4的擴徑的終點,即,於俯視下,形成加寬的部分的兩邊緣的直線的終點或形成加寬的部分的兩邊緣的曲線的彎曲方向變化的位置。若為圖1A,則頸部與柄部的邊界P2是於俯視下,自頸部中的形成寬度變大的部分的兩邊緣的直線或曲線R2變化成寬度逐漸地變小的曲線的位置。
再者,存在如頸部與柄部以相同的寬度形成的牙刷般,難以特別規定所述邊界P2的位置的情況。於此情況下,相對於長度L1,將自柄體10的前端9起42.2%的位置(例如,當長度L1為180 mm時,自柄體10的前端9起76.0 mm的位置)設為邊界P2。The
頸部4的寬度W2較佳為3.0 mm~4.5 mm,更佳為3.0 mm~4.2 mm。若寬度W2為所述下限值以上,則就耐折等的方面而言,於頸部4中容易確保充分的強度。進而,牙刷1不會變得過於鬆軟,容易獲得由適度的彎曲所產生的良好的使用感。另外,若寬度W2為所述上限值以下,則可提高牙刷1於口腔內的操作性。進而,可使牙刷毛到達口腔內的各個角落,可進一步提高口腔內的污垢去除效果。
再者,當頸部4的寬度不固定時,寬度W2表示頸部4的最小的寬度。The width W2 of the
頸部4的厚度T2較佳為3.0 mm~4.5 mm,更佳為3.0 mm~4.2 mm。若厚度T2為所述下限值以上,則就耐折等的方面而言,於頸部4中容易確保充分的強度。進而,牙刷1不會變得過於鬆軟,容易獲得由適度的彎曲所產生的良好的使用感。另外,若厚度T2為所述上限值以下,則可提高牙刷1於口腔內的操作性。進而,可使牙刷毛到達口腔內的各個角落,可進一步提高口腔內的污垢去除效果。
再者,當頸部4的厚度不固定時,厚度T2表示頸部4的最小的厚度。The thickness T2 of the
頸部4的最小直徑較佳為3.0 mm~4.5 mm,更佳為3.0 mm~4.2 mm。若頸部4的最小直徑為所述下限值以上,則就耐折等的方面而言,於頸部4中容易確保充分的強度。進而,牙刷1不會變得過於鬆軟,容易獲得由適度的彎曲所產生的良好的使用感。另外,若頸部4的最小直徑為所述上限值以下,則可提高牙刷1於口腔內的操作性。進而,可使牙刷毛到達口腔內的各個角落,可進一步提高口腔內的污垢去除效果。
再者,頸部4的最小直徑表示所述寬度W2與厚度T2中的小的一方的值,即頸部4的最小的寬度與最小的厚度中的小的一方。於頸部中,更佳為最小的厚度與最小的寬度相同,或最小的寬度比最小的厚度小、且最小的寬度為3.0 mm~4.5 mm。The minimum diameter of the
頸部4的長度L3可考慮頭部的長度L2等來決定,例如為達到30 mm~90 mm的長度,更佳為30 mm~60 mm。若長度L3為所述下限值以上,則容易使牙刷毛到達口腔內的各個角落,可進一步提高口腔內的污垢去除效果。若長度L3為所述上限值以下,則可進一步提高牙刷1於口腔內的操作性。The length L3 of the
(頭部2的彎曲量A) 頭部的彎曲量A藉由以下的方法(α)來測定。 方法(α): 使頭部的植毛面朝向鉛垂方向的上方,以將牙刷的頭部與頸部的邊界P1的位置固定的狀態下的柄體的前端的高度為基準高度。進而,於將所述邊界P1的位置固定的狀態下,相對於頭部中的植毛部的長軸方向的長度,於自植毛部的前端起10±3%的位置上懸掛200 g的秤錘,並將10秒後的柄體的前端的自基準高度起的高度的位移量(單位為mm)設為頭部的彎曲量A。 再者,所謂「植毛部的長軸方向的長度」,是指俯視頭部時的位於最前端側的植毛孔的前端與位於最後端側的植毛孔的後端的距離。 例如,當於俯視下頸部的自頭部起的部分的寬度相同時,於所述頸部的自頭部起的部分中,一面朝向頭部緩慢地改變位置一面測定寬度,並將寬度相同的部分與寬度開始變大的部分的轉折點的位置設為邊界P1。另外,當於俯視下頸部的自頭部起的部分的寬度隨著接近頭部而變小時,於頸部的自頭部起的部分中,一面朝向頭部緩慢地改變位置一面測定寬度,並將寬度變成最小的位置設為邊界P1。(Bending amount A of head 2) The bending amount A of the head is measured by the following method (α). Method (α): The tufted surface of the head is directed upward in the vertical direction, and the height of the tip of the handle in a state where the position of the boundary P1 between the head and the neck of the toothbrush is fixed is the reference height. Furthermore, in a state where the position of the boundary P1 is fixed, a weight of 200 g is suspended at a position of 10±3% from the tip of the hair transplanting part relative to the length of the hair transplanting part in the head in the long axis direction , And the amount of displacement (in mm) of the height of the tip of the handle body from the reference height after 10 seconds is set as the bending amount A of the head. In addition, the term "length in the longitudinal direction of the tuft portion" refers to the distance between the front end of the tuft hole located on the most distal end side and the rear end of the tuft hole located on the rearmost end side when the head is viewed from above. For example, when the width of the part from the head of the neck is the same when viewed from above, in the part of the neck from the head, the width is measured while slowly changing the position toward the head, and the width is the same The position of the turning point between the part of and the part where the width starts to increase is set as the boundary P1. In addition, when the width of the portion of the neck from the head in a plan view becomes smaller as it approaches the head, in the portion of the neck from the head, the width is measured while slowly changing the position toward the head. And the position where the width becomes the smallest is set as the boundary P1.
於本發明中,頭部2的彎曲量A如以下般進行測定。

繼而,如圖2B所示,將200 g的秤錘102懸掛於S的位置上,測定10秒後的柄體10的前端9的高度,並將其高度設為H1
。所述S是相對於植毛部長軸方向,自植毛部前端起10±3%的位置。例如當植毛部為19 mm時,S為自該前端起2.0 mm的位置。
繼而,將H1
與H0
的差的絕對值作為a(單位為mm)來求出。所述a例如藉由高度規(height gauge)等來測定。測定是於室溫25±3℃下進行。

(牙刷毛的毛尖強度)
構成毛束的牙刷毛的毛尖強度如以下般進行測定。
作為測定裝置,使用ISO毛硬強度試驗機。圖3中所示的ISO毛硬強度試驗機200具備基準面202與配置於基準面上的梯狀物(ladder)204。所述梯狀物204具備多根圓柱狀的棒狀體(不鏽鋼製,直徑:3 mm)。所述棒狀體相互平行地以固定間隔(棒狀體的中心彼此為10 mm間隔)進行排列。
首先,將牙刷1設置於所述試驗機200上。此時,使植設於牙刷1的頭部2中的牙刷毛的前端接觸所述試驗機200的基準面202。而且,求出使頭部2相對於所述基準面202水平地滑動時的最大阻力值,並將其設為牙刷毛的毛尖強度。頭部2的滑動方向是牙刷1的長邊方向與所述棒狀體的長邊方向變得相互垂直的方向。將頭部2的滑動速度設為10 mm/min。(The strength of the tip of the toothbrush bristles)
The tip strength of the toothbrush bristles constituting the bristle bundle is measured as follows.
As a measuring device, an ISO roughness tester was used. The
牙刷毛的毛尖強度較佳為1.7 N~3.0 N,更佳為1.9 N~2.8 N。若牙刷毛的毛尖強度為所述較佳的範圍,則可進一步提高齒斑的去除力,且牙刷毛對於牙齦的接觸感變得更良好,可進一步提高使用性。The tip strength of the toothbrush bristles is preferably 1.7 N to 3.0 N, more preferably 1.9 N to 2.8 N. If the tip strength of the toothbrush bristles is in the above-mentioned preferred range, the removal power of dental plaque can be further improved, and the contact feeling of the toothbrush bristles with the gums becomes better, and the usability can be further improved.
本實施形態的牙刷1是依據先前公知的牙刷的製造方法來製造。例如,將硬質樹脂射出至模具中,而使柄體10成形。繼而,於所獲得的柄體10的植毛面20上植設毛束,藉此可獲得牙刷1。作為植設毛束的方法,例如可列舉:將毛束對折並將夾在中間的平線打入植毛孔22中,藉此植設毛束的平線式植毛;朝成為植毛部的熔融樹脂中壓入毛束的下端並加以固定的熱熔接法;對毛束的下端進行加熱而形成熔融塊後,將熔融樹脂注入至模具中來使植毛部成形的模內(in-mold)法等。
第1發明的牙刷於設為藉由平線式植毛來對毛束進行植毛的牙刷時特別有效果。當採用平線式植毛時,由平線打入所產生的負荷施加至頭部。因此,頭部變得越薄,對於施加力時的變形的強度變得越低。於本實施形態的牙刷1中,藉由使頸部具有適度的彎曲性,於刷牙時等可將施加至頭部的力自頭部分散至整個頸部。因此,於平線式植毛的情況下,可特別顯著地獲得本發明的效果。
尤其於利用將強度低的聚丙烯樹脂用作柄體的材質的平線式植毛的牙刷的情況下,當將相對於頭部的長度(L2)的頭部的彎曲量(A/L2)的值X設為0.015~0.045時,較佳為將相對於頭部與頸部的長度的和(L2+L3)的頸部的彎曲量(B/(L2+L3))的值Y與所述X的比,即Y/X設為0.8~2.0。所述X較佳為設為0.018~0.45,更佳為設為0.018~0.040,此時,較佳為將Y/X設為0.9~2.0,更佳為設為0.9~1.9。
另外,於利用將強度高的聚縮醛樹脂用作柄體材質的平線式植毛的牙刷的情況下,當將所述X設為0.027~0.035,較佳為設為0.029~0.032時,較佳為將所述Y/X設為1.0~1.4,更佳為設為1.0~1.3。The
對本實施形態的牙刷1的使用方法進行說明。
首先,握持柄部6。握持柄部6的形態並無特別限定,可為掌握(palm grip)式,亦可為筆握(pen grip)式。通常,一面向對象部位施加壓力一面進行清掃,因此於任一種握持形態中,均將拇指等放在頸部後端的邊界P2附近來握持柄部6。
繼而,將頭部2插入口腔內,一面按壓柄部6,一面使植毛部於清掃對象部位上滑動。施加至柄部6上的力經由頸部4而傳遞至頭部2,進而自頭部2傳遞至植毛部,藉此植毛部一面向清掃對象部位施加壓力一面進行清掃。此時,因頭部的彎曲量A與頸部的彎曲量B的積(A×B)為0.8~10,故可獲得頭部與頸部協調的適度的彎曲。其結果,容易使植設於牙刷1的頭部2中的牙刷毛到達臼齒的深處等口腔內的各個角落,可提高口腔內的清掃力。進而,容易使牙刷毛進入至牙周袋中,可提高牙周袋的清掃力。此外,藉由獲得適度的彎曲,植毛部的柔韌性與緩衝性提昇,植毛部對於牙齦的接觸感變得良好,可獲得對於牙齦的良好的按摩效果,並可提高使用感。
另外,若頭部的彎曲量A'與頸部的彎曲量B的積(A'×B)為2.5~12,則更容易獲得頭部與頸部協調的適度的彎曲。藉此,可進一步提高口腔內的臼齒的深處或牙周袋等的清掃力,另外,容易獲得對於牙齦的良好的按摩效果,可進一步提高使用感。The usage method of the
另外,若頭部2的厚度T1為2.0 mm~4.0 mm、且頸部4的最小直徑為3.0 mm~4.5 mm,則更容易使植設於頭部2中的牙刷毛到達臼齒的深處等口腔內的各個角落,可進一步提高口腔內的清掃力。進而,可進一步提高牙刷1的操作性。
進而,若毛尖強度為1.7 N~3.0 N,則更容易使牙刷毛進入至牙周袋中,可進一步提高牙周袋的清掃力。進而,對於牙齦的接觸感變得更良好,可進一步提高使用感。In addition, if the thickness T1 of the
[第2發明] 第2發明的牙刷的特徵在於:包括植設有毛束的頭部、延伸設置於頭部的頸部、及延伸設置於頸部的柄部,且頭部的彎曲量A'與頸部的彎曲量B的積(A'×B)為2.5~12。第2發明的牙刷除需要頭部的彎曲量A'與頸部的彎曲量B的積(A'×B)為2.5~12以外,可採用與第1發明的牙刷相同的形態,較佳的形態亦相同。 關於A'×B,如第1發明中所說明般。[Second Invention] The toothbrush of the second invention is characterized in that it includes a head implanted with tufts of hair, a neck extending on the head, and a handle extending on the neck, and the amount of curvature A'of the head and the amount of curvature of the neck The product of the bending amount B (A'×B) is 2.5-12. The toothbrush of the second invention can take the same form as the toothbrush of the first invention, except that the product (A'×B) of the amount of curvature A'of the head and the amount of curvature B of the neck is 2.5-12. The shape is also the same. Regarding A'×B, it is as described in the first invention.
於第2發明的牙刷中,因頭部的彎曲量A'與頸部的彎曲量B的積(A'×B)為2.5~12,故可獲得頭部與頸部協調的適度的彎曲。其結果,容易使植設於牙刷的頭部中的牙刷毛到達臼齒的深處等口腔內的各個角落,可提高口腔內的清掃力。進而,容易使牙刷毛進入至牙周袋中,可提高牙周袋的清掃力。此外,藉由獲得適度的彎曲,植毛部的柔韌性與緩衝性提昇,植毛部對於牙齦的接觸感變得良好,可獲得對於牙齦的良好的按摩效果,並可提高使用感。In the toothbrush of the second invention, since the product (A'×B) of the bending amount A'of the head and the bending amount B of the neck is 2.5 to 12, a moderate bending of the head and the neck can be obtained. As a result, the toothbrush bristles implanted in the head of the toothbrush can easily reach every corner in the oral cavity such as the depth of the molars, and the cleaning power in the oral cavity can be improved. Furthermore, it is easy for the toothbrush bristles to enter the periodontal pocket, and the cleaning power of the periodontal pocket can be improved. In addition, by obtaining a moderate curvature, the flexibility and cushioning properties of the hair transplantation part are improved, the contact feeling of the hair transplantation part to the gums becomes better, a good massage effect on the gums can be obtained, and the feeling of use can be improved.
