The specific embodiment
With reference now to accompanying drawing,, the feature that the representative of same numbers in wherein a plurality of views is identical shows in Fig. 3 to 6 according to the preferred embodiment of toothbrush of the present invention.Fig. 3 to 6 relates to a kind of toothbrush with evenly smooth-going and continuous wall of bristles.But, should not think to disclose the identical approximate evenly toothbrush design of smooth-going continuous wall of bristles that has that provides with these, still belong to scope of the present invention.
With reference now to Fig. 3,, it provides a kind of manual toothbrush 1, comprises elongate handle 2 that is positioned at an end and the brush 10 that is positioned at the other end.The shape of handle 2 is traditional, and the feature that comprises has, and meets the size of ergonomics, holds feature, and crooked and decoration meets designer's hope.The brush 10 of Fig. 3 demonstrates has octagon-shaped, but adoptable other shapes comprise circle, ellipse, square etc., and these shapes all do not depart from the scope of the present invention.Many bristles 18 extend from the longitudinal axis 3 that brush 10 is orthogonal to toothbrush 1 substantially, will introduce in more detail the bristle that forms even smooth-going continuous wall below.
Fig. 4 has shown the top view of brush 10.Brush 10 comprises bristle cave 12.Be provided with a plurality of lateral support member 14 in the bristle cave 12, the bristle cave is formed by the edge 26 that forms bristle cave 12 peripheries.Lateral support member 14 preferably has U-shaped, but other shapes also can adopt, and this does not depart from the scope of the present invention.
Brush 10 also comprises brush finish 16, and it constitutes the upper space of brush 10.The longitudinal axis 3 that bristle 18 is orthogonal to toothbrush 1 usually substantially extends to brush finish certain point more than 16 from the bottom 34 in bristle cave 12, as shown in Figure 5.
In the preferred embodiment of Fig. 5, nail 22 is used for fixing bristle 18.Bristle 18 best incorporated of many separation form tuft 20.Tuft 20 inserts bristle caves 12, be positioned between two sides 23,25 of adjacent lateral support member 14, or between the edge 26 in bristle cave 12 and side, tuft is followed closely 22 and is fixed to brush 10.Nail comprises top margin 30 and base 28.Bristle preferably basically at the central point of bristle to curved, and make bend insert lateral support member 14.It is preferably abundant to combine bristle 18 quantity that form tuft 20, can form with lateral support member 14 to closely cooperate.The radius of the similar substantially lateral support member 14 of bending radius that the outer bristles 18 of such tuft 20 has.
The base 28 of staple 22 forms the center of the bending radius of bristle 18, as shown in Figure 5.The existence of nail 22 forms outside power, and the height of lateral support member 14 preferably surpasses the base 28 of nail 22.But in order to guarantee to leave bristle cave 12 after bristle between the adjacent tuft 20 fully contacts, the side 23,25 of lateral support member 14 must be shorter than brush finish 16.But the edge 26 that constitutes a lateral support member part still extends to the level of brush finish 16.Edge 26 1 sides of lateral support member 14 do not have point, and therefore, edge 26 preferably 34 extends to brush finish 16 from the bottom.
The last point of bristle 18 is by the topmost width control of lateral support member 14, specifically by the width of side 23 and 25, top and the distance between the brush finish 16, the side 23 of lateral support member 14 or the angle θ control on 25 relative bases 34 of lateral support member 14.
As shown in Figure 5, the side 23,25 of lateral support member 14 is thicker relatively, can keep substantially invariable thickness.In this embodiment, the height on aspect ratio brush finish 16 surfaces of lateral support member 14 is little a lot, can not extend near the brush finish 16, and embodiment is such as shown in Figure 6.Consequently, the point 32 of the bristle 18 in the bristle cave 12 of Fig. 5 embodiment is lower.
Fig. 6 has shown another embodiment, and wherein, a plurality of lateral support member 14 form along the bottom 34 in bristle cave 12.Lateral support member 14 forms at least one side 23a and is recessed base portion 24a substantially.Lateral support member can comprise second side 25a, or the edge 26 in bristle cave 12.As shown in Figure 6, side 23a, 25a extend to and follow closely 22 top margins, 30 approximately uniform height.
As shown in Figure 6,, make side 23a or 25a thicker relatively, diminish gradually that lateral support member 14 extends to the position than the surface of the more close brush finish 16a of the lateral support member of Fig. 5 towards the surface direction thickness of brush finish 16a at base portion when lateral support member tilts.This has caused point 32 higher in the position in bristle cave 12.In this embodiment, point 32 still keeps below the surface of brush finish 16a.
Fig. 7 has shown another embodiment of the present invention, and wherein lateral support member 14 extends beyond the top surface 30 of nail 22 towards brush finish 16, but is lower than the level of brush finish 16.As example shown in Figure 6, the joint in the bristle cave 12 is higher.
Fig. 8 has shown another aspect of the present invention.The top surface of lateral support member can be a non-flat orientation.The height of side 23 can make bristle 18 have bigger stability.Compare with having the straight lateral support member 14 that extends to equal height shown in Figure 8 substantially, if bristle extends beyond brush finish 16, non-flat orientation has also increased the uniformity and the ride comfort of toothbrush.The point 32 of the bristle between the side 23 of the non-flat portion of lateral support member 14 descends and has caused this effect.
Although the relative lateral support member of the example of front is discussed, wherein lateral support member has straight substantially structure and longitudinally is substantially disposed on the axis 3, is arranged on other positions and also belongs to scope of the present invention.For example, Fig. 9 has shown the part of head toothbrushes 10, and it has crooked lateral support member 14.
Will be appreciated that, above the purpose that reached can also realize by the structure of brush 10 thickness that increase is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 3 of toothbrush 1.Caused the increase of bristle cave 12 degree of depth like this, this makes again increases around the height at the edge 26 in bristle cave 12.Highly increase can guarantee effectively that the point of bristle remains on below the brush finish, therefore the gap A of the method for the prior art of Fig. 1 capable of reducing using generation.In this embodiment, edge 26 from the bottom the 34 minimum points 32 that extend to adjacent tuft 20.The lateral support member 14 extensible top margins 30 that surpass nail 22, but no show brush finish 16.So just caused having evenly smooth-going continuous bristle 18 in the brush finish 16 of toothbrush.
But although can adopt this method, the thickness of brush 10 does not increase in a preferred embodiment, because can form the toothbrush that is more suitable for like this, it requires less material and produces toothbrush compacter and easy to use.
The preferred material of toothbrush 1 of the present invention comprises various plastics that can be molded or injection-molded, as thermoplastic.Preferably toothbrush and brush are molded as single thermoplastic plastic parts.Perhaps form a plurality of working of plastics, connect together after the formation.Lateral support member 14 forms with its integral body during being preferably in molded brush 10.
Perhaps, lateral support member 14 can form the part of handle 2, combines with brush 10 when parts are assembled.Also have, lateral support member 14 may be separately formed, and is set on the toothbrush as parts then.
Also have among the embodiment of the present invention, brush 10 is arranged on the electric toothbrush (not shown).Consequently the brush that is fixed in an end 10 of electric toothbrush has evenly smooth-going and continuous wall of bristles, and handle is arranged on the other end of electric toothbrush.Usually, handle comprises actuating unit, can actuate the brush 10 of electric toothbrush.The action that produces can be vibration, and rotation moves back and forth, or simple vibration, or aggregate motion.Brush 10 can take off from the handle that power is provided, or can form single full unit when needing.
Have the evenly brush 10 of smooth-going continuous wall of bristles by using traditional cheaply nail technology and providing, can realize the desirable purpose of the present invention.The realization of this purpose is by the height of the side 23,25 of control lateral support member 14.The height of restriction side is lower than the edge 26 in bristle cave, reduces the gap between the tuft that extends beyond brush finish effectively.In addition, also be provided with enough lateral support member, when using traditional nail fixing means, can guarantee that bristle is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis extension of toothbrush substantially, the feasible follow-up brushing cluster of easier insertion,
Although the present invention has carried out concrete demonstration introduction with reference to some preferred embodiment, the those skilled in the art is appreciated that and can carries out various changes and modifications that these changes and improvements all do not break away from the spirit and scope of invention.
