Description

THREE-DIMENSIONAL TOOTHBRUSH
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention:
The present invention generally relates to a three-dimensional toothbrush, and more particularly to a three-dimensional toothbrush which brush is formed in al directions, thus enabling to brush the surface of tongue, cheek, teeth top, in-between teeth at the same time.
Description of the Prior Art:
The formal toothbrush, as shown in FIG.8, is consisted of brush handle (100), brush head (200) with a bunch of brush (201) which contacts with the tooth. It is designed to grab the handle (100) and brush tooth with brush (201) of brush head (200)
However with the formal toothbrush, it is hard to brush because tooth-contacting brush (201) is formed only one side of the head (200). In order to brush all around the tooth, at least tens of brushing is need, around the tongue, the cheek, the teeth top, in- between the teeth. Thus it takes long time to brush teeth.
In addition, brush head (200) is formed as straight line but the mouth is shaped curve so it is hard to brush tooth with formal toothbrush.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a toothbrush, and more particularly to a toothbrush, which is designed to clean several surfaces of the teeth at the same time only with one brushing. The formal toothbrush has brush only on one side of the head so it takes time to brush tooth. In addition, brush's head is made in the shape of one line while tooth is shaped of a curve.
The present invention is contrived to enable quick and fine brushing. To achieve the goal, the present toothbrush designs to be formed in all directions, thus supports wide contact surface.
Important usages of the present invention are wash tool

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
To solve problems of existing techniques as mentioned above, the present invention is contrived to supply toothbrush that makes it possible to brush tooth more quickly and more minutely.
In order to achieve it, the present toothbrush has head centered brush, which is formed in all directions, so that whole head is to be used for the oral cavity.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS And EFFECT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The desirable example drawings of the invention are followed; firstly, same symbols are used for the same partitions to explain each of drawing even though the partitions are illustrated on the other drawing.
In case of the formal toothbrush as shown in FIG.l, the toothbrush is consisted of handle (10) and brush head(20) which is formed at the head of handle(lθ). And the above-mentioned (20) is consisted of upholding sinew(21) to form the shape of brush head(20), brush(22) which is connected in all directions centered in the upholding sinew(21), thus enables to brush several teeth only with one brushing at the same time.
Main part of the above-mentioned brush head(20), upholding sinew(21) and brush(22) is shown in FIG.2. Two strings of wire (21a) is twisting the end of several thin brush hairs (22a) and makes a not at the top end of the brush (22). With centered on the twisted upholding sinew(21), the brush (22) is formed in all directions.
In this case, upholding sinew(21) is made of soft metal (it should be movable by the certain level of external force, that is to say, it should not be bent during brushing), as shown in FIG.3, and should be bent and curved according to the shape of the oral cavity. Also, the material shouldn't be corroded nor changed. In addition, brush(22) which is connected to the upholding sinew(21) should be soft not to harm tooth and oral cavity. Furthermore, it should be thin for finer brushing.
Additionally, as shown in FIG.4, above-mentioned brush head(20) should be a good many in order to brush not only the surface of tongue (31), cheek (32) of the teeth (30) but also teeth ridge around them at the same time. Moreover, as shown in FIG.5, arrange many of brush head(20) in a row or form it step-by-step as shown in FIG.6, then insure more wide room, thus brush the oral cavity more quickly at the same time.
It is possible to shape various form - straight, curved, latticed, folded/piled - of above-mentioned brush head(20) according to the form of the upholding sinew(21).
Specially, as shown in FIG.8, when make foldpiled brush head(20), make the knotted and piled extension unit (20a) by bending the end of the brush head(20) up and down in order not to injure teeth ridge or the end of tongue. As well as, surface of tongue (31) is perfectly bent by the knotted and piled extension unit (20a), as shown in FIG.10.
And in this situation, add assisting brush head(20b) which is branched off outer of above-mentioned brush head(20) as shown in FIG.9, perfectly to contact with the cheek surface (32) of the tooth as shown in FIG.l 1, thus enables effective brushing.
Meanwhile, the present toothbrush is to be connected to motor, like formal toothbrush.
Therefore, the effect of the present invention is following.
Firstly, tooth contacting brush(22) is formed in all directions centered on upholding sinew(21) of brush head(20) upholding sinew(21) to make three-dimensional structure. Brush(22) twisted like screw is in-between upholding sinew(21) twisted like screw, thus only with one brushing you can brush the tongue surface(31), the cheek surface (32), the surface of teeth top (33), the surface of in-between teeth (34) at the same time. As well as, by arrange several brush head (20) in a row or step-by-step, you can brush the tongue, the mucous membrane of cheek surface, the roof of the mouth together.
In addition, because upholding sinew(21) is flexible with external force, user can change the form of brush head(20) by bending or spreading the upholding sinew(21) to adjust brush head(20) according to users oral cavity.
Also, because of these characters, user only put tooth brush into the mouth and moves a jaw, then brushes (22) of brush head rubs the tooth.
