Description

本発明は、手指に装着されて歯垢の除去に供される口腔清掃具に関する。   The present invention relates to an oral cleaning tool that is attached to a finger and used to remove plaque.

本発明に係る口腔清掃具は、大小二枚の生地の外縁を貼り合わせてなるものであるが、同様の構成の口腔清掃具は特許文献１に開示されて公知である。かかる特許文献１の口腔清掃具において、大型の主生地は、前端部が半楕円形で、全体として前後方向に長いスプーンのような形状とされている。小型の従生地は、先の主生地の前端部の外形形状と一致する半楕円形に形成されている。そして、従生地を主生地の前端部に重ね合わせたうえで、従生地の後端部を除く両生地の外縁をＵ字状に貼り合わせることにより、手指の挿入を許す後端開口を有する袋状の鞘部を形成している。   The oral cleaning tool according to the present invention is formed by laminating the outer edges of two large and small pieces of fabric, and an oral cleaning tool having the same configuration is disclosed in Patent Document 1 and is known. In such an oral cleaning tool of Patent Document 1, the large-sized main fabric has a semi-elliptical front end and is shaped like a spoon that is long in the front-rear direction as a whole. The small slave fabric is formed in a semi-elliptical shape that matches the outer shape of the front end portion of the main fabric. A bag having a rear-end opening that allows insertion of fingers by superimposing the subordinate fabric on the front end portion of the main fabric and then bonding the outer edges of both fabrics excluding the rear end portion of the subordinate fabric in a U-shape. The sheath part is formed.

この口腔清掃具によれば、主生地のスプーンの柄に当たる部分を、鞘部が装着された手指以外の指の間に挟むことで、鞘部の抜け落ちを図ることができる。同種の「柄」を備える口腔清掃具は、例えば特許文献２にも見受けられる。また、鞘部から後方に伸びる持ち手部に、該鞘部に挿入された手指以外の一本の指を掛けるための掛止孔が開設されたものもある（特許文献３参照）。   According to this oral cleaning tool, the sheath portion can be removed by sandwiching the portion of the main fabric that corresponds to the handle of the spoon between fingers other than the fingers to which the sheath portion is attached. An oral cleaning tool provided with the same kind of “handle” can also be found in, for example, Patent Document 2. In addition, there is a type in which a retaining hole for opening one finger other than a finger inserted in the sheath portion is formed in a handle portion extending backward from the sheath portion (see Patent Document 3).

実開平６−１４３号公報（図１）Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-143 (FIG. 1) 実開平４−１０４９２２号公報（図１）Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-104922 (FIG. 1) 特開２０００−１２６２２５号公報（図１、図２）Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2000-126225 (FIGS. 1 and 2)

特許文献１および特許文献２に記載の口腔清掃具では、「柄」を指で挟持する形態であるため、大きな保持力が得られず、清掃動作時に鞘部に加わる作用力によって、鞘部がずれ動いたり、手指から抜け落ちたりしやすい。また、「柄」を指の間に挟んだまま、鞘部が装着された手指を細かく動かして、清掃動作を行うことは非常に困難であり、使い勝手が悪い。この問題は、例えば、特許文献３のように、一本の指を掛けるための小さな掛止孔を、持ち手部に設けることで解決できるが、その場合には、手や指の大きさの違いに合わせて、掛止孔の開口寸法や掛止孔の開設位置の異なる複数種の製品を用意する必要があり、口腔清掃具の製造コストが上昇することが避けられない。   In the oral cleaning device described in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2, since the “handle” is sandwiched between fingers, a large holding force cannot be obtained, and the sheath portion is caused by the acting force applied to the sheath portion during the cleaning operation. Easily slips and falls off fingers. Further, it is very difficult to perform a cleaning operation by finely moving a finger with a sheath while the “pattern” is sandwiched between fingers, which is inconvenient. This problem can be solved, for example, by providing a small retaining hole for hanging one finger on the handle as in Patent Document 3, but in that case, the size of the hand or finger is small. In accordance with the difference, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of types of products having different opening dimensions of the retaining holes and opening positions of the retaining holes, and it is inevitable that the manufacturing cost of the oral cleaning tool increases.

本発明の目的は、手や指の大きさとは無関係に、簡単かつ確実に手指に装着することが可能であり、しかも構造が簡単で安価に量産するに適した口腔清掃具を提供するにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide an oral cleaning tool that can be easily and surely attached to a finger regardless of the size of the hand or finger and that is simple in structure and suitable for mass production at low cost. .

本発明は、図１に示すように、手指２に装着されて、歯垢の除去に供される鞘部３を供える指サックタイプの口腔清掃具である。図２および図３に示すように、かかる口腔清掃具は、前後に長い主生地５と、該主生地５の前端形状と一致する従生地６とからなり、従生地６を主生地５の前端部に重ねたうえで、従生地６の後端部を除く両生地５・６の外縁を結着することにより、手指挿入用の後端開口１０を備える袋状の鞘部３を形成してある。そして、鞘部３よりも後方寄りの主生地５の左右方向の中央部位に、該鞘部３に挿入された人差し指２ｂ以外の複数本の指を掛けて、鞘部３の人差し指２ｂからの抜け落ちを阻止するためのスリット１５が、前後方向に長く設けられていて、主生地５の前後中央部から後端部は、前後方向に長いスリット１５を有する輪体１７となっている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is a finger suck type oral cleaning tool that is attached to a finger 2 and includes a sheath 3 that is used for removal of plaque. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, such an oral cleaning tool is composed of a main fabric 5 that is long in the front-rear direction and a sub-fabric 6 that matches the front end shape of the main fabric 5. The bag-like sheath portion 3 having the rear end opening 10 for inserting fingers is formed by binding the outer edges of both fabrics 5 and 6 excluding the rear end portion of the sub-fabric 6 after being stacked on the portion. is there. Then, a plurality of fingers other than the index finger 2b inserted in the sheath part 3 are hung on the center part in the left-right direction of the main fabric 5 closer to the rear side than the sheath part 3, and the sheath part 3 falls off from the index finger 2b. The main body 5 has a slit 15 that is long in the front-rear direction, and a rear end portion from the front-rear center portion of the main fabric 5 is a ring body 17 having a slit 15 that is long in the front-rear direction.

これら主生地５および従生地６は、コットン、レーヨン、ＰＥＴ、ＰＰ、ＰＥ、アクリル、又はこれらの複合繊維からなる不織布、あるいはこれらと他の繊維との複合不織布とすることができる。ここで言う「スリット１５」は、図２および図３に示すような前後に長く形成された切り込みのほか、例えば打ち抜き形成された前後に長い開口も含む概念であり、要は前後方向に長く形成されていて、複数本の指２を掛け得るものであればよい。主生地５の外形形状は、図２に示すような前後に長い楕円形のほか、前後に長い長方形状などであってもよく、要は前後方向に長いものであれば、その外形形状は問わない。両生地５・６の結着方法としては、熱溶着（ヒートシール）、接着剤による貼り合わせ、縫い合わせなどを挙げることができる。この口腔清掃具は、人体口腔内用の清掃具として、あるいは犬や猫などのペットの口腔内の清掃具として好適である。また、鼻や耳の清掃に、当該清掃具を用いることもできる。   The main fabric 5 and the sub-fabric 6 can be cotton, rayon, PET, PP, PE, acrylic, or a nonwoven fabric composed of these composite fibers, or a composite nonwoven fabric composed of these and other fibers. The “slit 15” mentioned here is a concept including not only a long slit formed in the front and rear as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 but also a long opening in the front and rear formed by punching. What is necessary is just to be able to hang a plurality of fingers 2. The outer shape of the main fabric 5 may be an ellipse that is long in the front-rear direction as shown in FIG. 2 or a rectangular shape that is long in the front-rear direction. . Examples of the method for binding the two fabrics 5 and 6 include heat welding, bonding with an adhesive, and sewing. This oral cleaning tool is suitable as a cleaning tool for the human oral cavity or as a cleaning tool for the oral cavity of a pet such as a dog or a cat. The cleaning tool can also be used for cleaning the nose and ears.

具体的には、図１に示すように、鞘部３内に、その後端開口１０の側から人差し指２ｂを挿入したうえで、この人差し指２ｂ以外の少なくとも親指２ａを含む他の指２をスリット１５の周縁に掛けて、これら指２で該スリット１５を主生地５の左右方向に展張状に拡開操作したときに、鞘部３が掌側に引っ張られて、鞘部３に掌側に向かう作用力Ｆを与えることができるように、スリット１５の前端が鞘部３の後端開口１０の近傍に位置した構成である。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the index finger 2b is inserted into the sheath 3 from the rear end opening 10 side, and another finger 2 including at least the thumb 2a other than the index finger 2b is slit 15. When the slit 15 is expanded in the left-right direction of the main fabric 5 with these fingers 2, the sheath 3 is pulled to the palm side and the palm 3 is directed to the palm side. In this configuration, the front end of the slit 15 is positioned in the vicinity of the rear end opening 10 of the sheath 3 so that the acting force F can be applied.

また本発明は、図５に示すごとく、人差し指２ｂに装着される第１鞘部２１と、親指２ａに装着される第２鞘部２２とを備え、これら二つの鞘部２１・２２を使って歯垢の除去を行う口腔清掃具である。図６および図７に示すように、この口腔清掃具は、大小二枚の生地２５・２６を貼り合わせてなるものである。大型の主生地２５は、第１鞘部２１を構成して上下方向に長い第１装着片２８と、該第１装着片２８の後端部に連続する上下に長い掛止片２９と、第１装着片２８の掛止片２９側の基端から斜め前方に張り出し形成されて、第２鞘部２２を構成する第２装着片３０とを備える。小型の従生地２６は、前記第１および第２装着片２８・３０の外形形状と一致する、二股状に形成されている。従生地２６を主生地２５に重ねたうえで、従生地２６の後端部を除く外縁を主生地２５の外縁に結着することにより、人差し指２ｂおよび親指２ａの挿入を許す後端開口３１を有する二股手袋状の第１および第２鞘部２１・２２が形成されている。そして、掛止片２９の左右方向の中央部位に、図１に示すように掛止片２９を手首４１に掛けて、第１および第２鞘部２１・２２の手指２ｂ・２ａからの抜け落ちを阻止するためのスリット３７が、前後方向に長く設けられていることを特徴とする。 Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the present invention includes a first sheath portion 21 attached to the index finger 2b and a second sheath portion 22 attached to the thumb 2a, and these two sheath portions 21 and 22 are used. An oral cleaning tool for removing plaque. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, this oral cleaning tool is formed by bonding two large and small pieces of fabric 25 and 26. The large main fabric 25 includes a first mounting piece 28 that constitutes the first sheath portion 21 and is long in the vertical direction, a vertically long hanging piece 29 that is continuous with the rear end portion of the first mounting piece 28, The first mounting piece 28 includes a second mounting piece 30 that is formed to project obliquely forward from the base end of the hooking piece 29 side of the first mounting piece 28 and constitute the second sheath portion 22. Small従生land 26, the first and second mounting pieces 28, 30 of the outer shape and match, is formed in a bifurcated shape. After the subordinate fabric 26 is overlaid on the main fabric 25, the outer edge excluding the rear end portion of the subordinate fabric 26 is bonded to the outer edge of the main fabric 25, so that the rear end opening 31 that allows insertion of the index finger 2 b and the thumb 2 a is formed. The bifurcated glove-shaped first and second sheath portions 21 and 22 are formed. Then, the latch piece 29 is hung on the wrist 41 as shown in FIG. 1 at the center portion in the left-right direction of the latch piece 29, and the first and second sheath portions 21 and 22 are detached from the fingers 2b and 2a. A slit 37 for blocking is provided long in the front-rear direction.

これら主生地２５および従生地２６は、コットン、レーヨン、ＰＥＴ、ＰＰ、ＰＥ、アクリル、又はこれらの複合繊維からなる不織布、あるいはこれらと他の繊維との複合不織布とすることができる。ここで言う「スリット３７」は、図６および図７に示すような前後に長く形成された切り込みのほか、例えば打ち抜き形成された前後に長い開口も含む概念であり、要は前後方向に長く形成されていて、手首４１を掛け得るものであればよい。両生地２５・２６の結着方法としては、熱溶着（ヒートシール）、接着剤による貼り合わせ、縫い合わせなどを挙げることができる。この口腔清掃具は、人体口腔内用の清掃具として、あるいは犬や猫などのペットの口腔内の清掃具として好適である。また、鼻や耳の清掃に、当該清掃具を用いることもできる。   The main fabric 25 and the sub-fabric 26 can be cotton, rayon, PET, PP, PE, acrylic, a non-woven fabric made of these composite fibers, or a composite non-woven fabric of these and other fibers. The “slit 37” mentioned here is a concept including not only a long slit formed in the front and rear as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, but also a long opening in the front and rear formed by punching. What is necessary is just to be able to hang the wrist 41. Examples of the method for binding the two fabrics 25 and 26 include heat welding, bonding with an adhesive, and sewing. This oral cleaning tool is suitable as a cleaning tool for the human oral cavity or as a cleaning tool for the oral cavity of a pet such as a dog or a cat. The cleaning tool can also be used for cleaning the nose and ears.

中指２ｃを掛けるためのスリット３６を有する掛止片３５を、第１鞘部２１の側面の前後中途部から張り出し形成することができる。   A latching piece 35 having a slit 36 for hanging the middle finger 2c can be formed so as to protrude from the front and rear midway part of the side surface of the first sheath part 21.

図４および図８に示すごとく、主生地５・２５および従生地６・２６を、不織布７を基体とするものとして、該不織布７の内側表面に防水性フィルム加工を施すことができる。これらの図において、符号９は、防水性のフィルムを示している。かかるフィルム９の具体例としては、ＰＰ、ＰＥなどの熱可塑性フィルムを挙げることができる。   As shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, the main fabrics 5 and 25 and the sub-fabrics 6 and 26 are assumed to have the nonwoven fabric 7 as a base, and the inner surface of the nonwoven fabric 7 can be subjected to waterproof film processing. In these drawings, reference numeral 9 denotes a waterproof film. Specific examples of the film 9 include thermoplastic films such as PP and PE.

不織布７の外側面は、凹凸状とすることが好ましい。凹凸の形成方法としては、例えばウォータージェット方式により繊維を網目状に絡み合わせる方法（メッシュ加工）や、エンボス加工などを挙げることができる。   The outer surface of the nonwoven fabric 7 is preferably uneven. Examples of the method for forming irregularities include a method of meshing fibers in a mesh shape by a water jet method (mesh processing), embossing, and the like.

請求項１記載の本発明によれば、図１に示すごとく、鞘部３内に人差し指２ｂ等の一本の手指を挿入するとともに、該鞘部３に挿入された手指２ｂ以外の複数本の指２を、主生地５に前後方向に長く形成されたスリット１５の周縁に掛け止める。そして、かかる掛け止め装着姿勢で、鞘部３を使って歯や歯肉などの対象部位を摺擦して清掃を行う。このとき、口腔清掃具１は、スリット１５に掛けられた複数本の指２で確実に掛止されるため、使用時に鞘部３がずれ動いたり、それが装着された手指２ｂから抜け落ちたりすることがない。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, one finger is inserted into the sheath 3 and the plural fingers other than the fingers 2 b inserted into the sheath 3 are inserted. The finger 2 is hooked on the periphery of the slit 15 formed long in the front-rear direction on the main fabric 5. In such a latching mounting posture, cleaning is performed by rubbing the target site such as teeth and gums using the sheath 3. At this time, since the oral cleaning tool 1 is securely hooked by the plurality of fingers 2 hung on the slit 15, the sheath part 3 is displaced during use or falls off the finger 2b on which it is attached. There is nothing.

加えて、主生地５に設けられた前後に長い一個のスリット１５に、複数本の手指（親指２ａ等）を掛け止めるようにしてあるから、手や指の大きさに関係なく、図１に示すような掛け止め装着姿勢を容易にとることができる。これにて、特許文献３のように、微小な掛止孔を備える形態では避けることができなかった、手や指の大きさに合わせて、孔の開設位置や開口寸法の異なる多種の製品を用意することに起因する製造コストの上昇問題を解消して、口腔清掃具１の低コスト化を図ることができる。   In addition, since a plurality of fingers (thumb 2a, etc.) are hung on one slit 15 long in the front and back provided in the main fabric 5, regardless of the size of the hands or fingers, FIG. It is possible to easily take the hanging mounting posture as shown. Thus, as in Patent Document 3, various products having different opening positions and opening dimensions according to the size of the hands and fingers, which could not be avoided in the form of having a small retaining hole, are available. The problem of increase in manufacturing cost due to the preparation can be solved, and the cost of the oral cleaning tool 1 can be reduced.

また、図１に示すように、親指２ａを含む複数本の指をスリット１５の周縁に掛けて、これら指２ａで該スリット１５を展張状に拡開操作することにより、鞘部３に掌側に向かう作用力Ｆを与えることができるので、人差し指２ｂからの鞘部３の抜け落ちや、位置ずれなどをよく防止できる。何よりも、かかる作用力Ｆにより、鞘部３に挿入された手指（人差し指２ｂ等）の先端腹部に鞘部３を強く密着させることができるので、大きな力を鞘部３に与えた場合でも、当該鞘部３に皺ができることがなく、したがって口腔清掃具１の実用利便性の格段の向上を図ることができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of fingers including the thumb 2 a are hung on the periphery of the slit 15, and the slit 15 is expanded and expanded with these fingers 2 a, so that Therefore, it is possible to prevent the sheath portion 3 from coming off from the index finger 2b, the position shift, and the like well. Above all, with this acting force F, the sheath 3 can be strongly adhered to the tip abdomen of the finger inserted into the sheath 3 (for example, the index finger 2b), so even when a large force is applied to the sheath 3, There is no wrinkle on the sheath 3, and therefore the practical convenience of the oral cleaning tool 1 can be remarkably improved.

主生地５および従生地６の内面に防水性フィルム加工が施されていると、使用中に鞘部３に挿入された手指（人差し指２ｂ等）が濡れるのを防ぐことができる。また、フィルム９の原形回復力に由来して、拡開操作されたスリット１５周縁の輪体１７に弾性応力を与えることができるので、僅かな拡開操作で鞘部３に掌側に向かう大きな作用力Ｆを与えることができる点でも優れている。不織布７のみで生地５・６を構成する形態に比べて、裏打ちされたフィルム９で生地５・６の補強を図ることができるので、使用中に鞘部３が破れたり、拡開操作時に輪体１７が破れるような不具合もない。   When the waterproof fabric is applied to the inner surfaces of the main fabric 5 and the sub-fabric 6, it is possible to prevent the fingers (such as the index finger 2b) inserted into the sheath portion 3 from getting wet during use. Further, since the elastic force can be applied to the ring body 17 at the periphery of the slit 15 which has been expanded, due to the original shape restoring force of the film 9, the sheath 3 can be moved toward the palm side by a slight expansion operation. It is also excellent in that the acting force F can be applied. Compared to the configuration in which the fabrics 5 and 6 are formed only by the nonwoven fabric 7, the fabrics 5 and 6 can be reinforced with the backed film 9, so that the sheath portion 3 may be broken during use, or may be rotated during the expansion operation. There is no problem that the body 17 is torn.

主生地５の外側表面を凹凸状としてあると、これら凹部と凸部との段差を利用しての歯垢のこそぎ落としが可能となるので、清掃効率が向上する。歯肉に対して適度の刺激を与えることもできる。尤も、かかる凹凸は、主生地５の鞘部３の外表面、すなわち清掃操作に供される部位に設けてあれば足りる。特に凹部を開口状としてあると、その開口周縁を切断刃のように作用させて、歯垢等をよくこそぎ落とすことができる。つまり、口腔清掃具１を歯の表面に当てたとき、凹部は、その開口方向が歯表面に対して略垂直となるような姿勢形態をとるため、当該姿勢形態で口腔清浄具１を歯の表面を擦るように動かすことで、凹部の開口周縁で歯垢を引っ掛けて、これ（歯垢）を引き剥がすように除去できる。   If the outer surface of the main fabric 5 is uneven, plaque can be scraped off using the step between the concave and convex portions, and the cleaning efficiency is improved. Appropriate stimulation can be given to the gingiva. However, it is sufficient that the unevenness is provided on the outer surface of the sheath portion 3 of the main fabric 5, that is, on a portion subjected to a cleaning operation. In particular, when the concave portion has an opening shape, the peripheral edge of the opening acts like a cutting blade, and plaque and the like can be scraped off well. That is, when the oral cleaning tool 1 is applied to the tooth surface, the concave portion takes a posture form in which the opening direction is substantially perpendicular to the tooth surface. By moving the surface so as to rub, it is possible to remove the plaque by pulling the plaque around the peripheral edge of the opening of the recess and peeling the plaque away.

請求項３記載の本発明によれば、図５に示すごとく、掛止片２９のスリット３７を拡開して、該スリット３７内に全ての手指を通して、手首４１に輪体３９を掛けるとともに、第２鞘部２２に親指２ａを、第１鞘部２１に人差し指２ｂを挿入する。そして、かかる掛け止め装着姿勢で、鞘部２１・２２を使って歯や歯肉などの対象部位を摺擦して清掃を行う。このとき、口腔清掃具１は、スリット３７を介して輪体３９に掛けられた手首４１で確実に掛止されるため、使用時に鞘部２１・２２が人差し指２ｂや親指２ａから抜け落ちることがない。何よりも清掃操作時における指姿勢に関係なく、抜け落ち防止が図られるので、手指２を自由に動かしての清掃操作が可能で、実用利便性に優れている。   According to the third aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the slit 37 of the latching piece 29 is expanded, all fingers are passed through the slit 37, and the ring body 39 is hung on the wrist 41. Insert the thumb 2 a into the second sheath 22 and the index finger 2 b into the first sheath 21. Then, in such a latching mounting posture, cleaning is performed by rubbing target portions such as teeth and gums using the sheath portions 21 and 22. At this time, since the oral cleaning tool 1 is securely hooked by the wrist 41 hung on the ring body 39 through the slit 37, the sheath portions 21 and 22 do not fall out of the index finger 2b and the thumb 2a during use. . Above all, it is possible to prevent falling off regardless of the finger posture at the time of the cleaning operation, so that the cleaning operation can be performed by freely moving the finger 2 and is excellent in practical convenience.

中指２ｃを掛けるためのスリット３６を有する掛止片３５が、第１鞘部２１の側面の前後中途部から張り出し形成されていると、第１鞘部２１がずれ動くのを防ぐことができるので、操作性の向上を図ることができる。   If the latching piece 35 having the slit 36 for hanging the middle finger 2c is formed so as to protrude from the front and rear midway part of the side surface of the first sheath part 21, the first sheath part 21 can be prevented from shifting. The operability can be improved.

主生地２５および従生地２６の内面に防水性フィルム加工が施されていると、使用中に鞘部２１・２２内に挿入された手指（人差し指２ｂ等）が濡れるのを防ぐことができる。不織布７のみで生地２５・２６を構成する形態に比べて、裏打ちされたフィルム９で生地２５・２６の補強を図ることができるので、使用中に第１および第２鞘部２１・２２が破れるような不具合がない。   When the waterproof fabric is applied to the inner surfaces of the main fabric 25 and the sub-fabric 26, it is possible to prevent the fingers (for example, the index finger 2b) inserted into the sheath portions 21 and 22 from getting wet during use. Compared to the configuration in which the fabric 25/26 is composed of the nonwoven fabric 7 alone, the fabric 25/26 can be reinforced with the backed film 9, so that the first and second sheath portions 21/22 are broken during use. There is no such trouble.

主生地５の外側表面を凹凸状としてあると、これら凹部と凸部との段差を利用しての歯垢のこそぎ落としが可能となり、清掃効率が向上する。歯肉に対して適度の刺激を与えることもできる。尤も、係る凹凸は、主生地２５の第１および第２鞘部２１・２２の外表面、すなわち清掃操作に供される部位に設けてあれば足りる。特に、凹部を開口状としてあると、その開口周縁を切断刃のように作用させて、歯垢等をよくこそぎ落とすことができる。つまり、口腔清掃具１を歯の表面に当てたとき、凹部は、その開口方向が歯表面に対して略垂直となるような姿勢形態をとるため、当該姿勢形態で口腔清浄具１を歯の表面を擦るように動かすことで、凹部の開口周縁で歯垢を引っ掛けて、これ（歯垢）を引き剥がすように除去できる。   If the outer surface of the main fabric 5 is uneven, plaque can be scraped off using the step between the concave and convex portions, and the cleaning efficiency is improved. Appropriate stimulation can be given to the gingiva. However, it is sufficient that the unevenness is provided on the outer surfaces of the first and second sheath portions 21 and 22 of the main fabric 25, that is, on the portion subjected to the cleaning operation. In particular, when the concave portion has an opening shape, the peripheral edge of the opening acts like a cutting blade, and plaque and the like can be scraped off well. That is, when the oral cleaning tool 1 is applied to the tooth surface, the concave portion takes a posture form in which the opening direction is substantially perpendicular to the tooth surface. By moving the surface so as to rub, it is possible to remove the plaque by pulling the plaque around the peripheral edge of the opening of the recess and peeling off the plaque.

図２および図３に示すように、口腔清掃具１は、前後に長い楕円形の主生地５と、該主生地５の前端部の外形形状と一致する半楕円形の従生地６とで構成される。図４に示すように、これら両生地５・６は、コットン製の不織布７をベースとして、その一表面にＬＬＤＰＥ（中密度ポリエチレン）製の防水性フィルム９が貼付された二層構造のシート体である。そして、防水性フィルム９・９どうしが向かい合うように従生地６を主生地５の前端部に重ね合わせたうえで、従生地６の後端部を除く両生地５・６の外縁を、Ｕ字状に結着することにより、一本の手指（人差し指２ｂ等）の挿入を許す後端開口１０を有する袋状の鞘部３を形成している。ここでは、ヒートシール加工により、両生地５・６を貼り合わせている。   As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the oral cleaning tool 1 includes an elliptical main fabric 5 that is long in the front-rear direction and a semi-elliptical subfabric 6 that matches the outer shape of the front end of the main fabric 5. Is done. As shown in FIG. 4, these two fabrics 5 and 6 have a two-layer structure in which a waterproof film 9 made of LLDPE (medium density polyethylene) is attached to one surface of a non-woven fabric 7 made of cotton. It is. Then, after superposing the follower fabric 6 on the front end portion of the main fabric 5 so that the waterproof films 9 and 9 face each other, the outer edges of both fabrics 5 and 6 excluding the rear end portion of the follower fabric 6 are U-shaped. The bag-shaped sheath portion 3 having the rear end opening 10 that allows insertion of one finger (for example, the index finger 2b) is formed by binding in a shape. Here, both fabrics 5 and 6 are bonded together by heat sealing.

図２および図３において、符号１１は熱溶着部を示しており、ここでは、従生地６の外縁のＵ字の足の後端部を残してヒートシール加工を施して、後端開口１０に臨む両生地５・６の左右両縁にスリット１２・１２を形成している。このように後端開口１０の左右両縁にスリット１２・１２を形成してあると、スリット１２を設けない形態に比べて後端開口１０を大きく開くことができるので、手指（例えば人差し指２ｂ）に対する鞘部３の装着操作、換言すれば鞘部３に対する手指（人差し指２ｂ）の挿入操作をスムーズに行うことができる。   2 and 3, reference numeral 11 denotes a heat-welded portion. Here, the rear end portion of the U-shaped foot on the outer edge of the sub-dough 6 is subjected to heat sealing processing, and the rear end opening 10 is formed. Slits 12 and 12 are formed on both left and right edges of the facing fabrics 5 and 6. If the slits 12 and 12 are formed on both the left and right edges of the rear end opening 10 as described above, the rear end opening 10 can be opened wider than in the case where the slit 12 is not provided, so that the finger (for example, the index finger 2b) The operation of mounting the sheath 3 on the other hand, in other words, the operation of inserting the finger (index finger 2b) into the sheath 3 can be performed smoothly.

両生地５・６の不織布７は、コットン繊維をウォータージェット方式により、厚み寸法の大きな凸部と、これよりも厚み寸法の小さな凹部とがマトリクス状に並ぶように絡み合わせてなるものである。   The nonwoven fabrics 7 of both the fabrics 5 and 6 are made of cotton fibers entangled by a water jet method so that convex portions having a large thickness dimension and concave portions having a smaller thickness dimension are arranged in a matrix.

図２および図３に示すごとく、鞘部３よりも後方寄りに位置する主生地５の左右方向の中央部位には、前後方向に長く切り込みを入れて、前後に長いスリット１５を設けてある。このスリット１５の前端は鞘部３の後端開口１０の近傍に位置している。つまり、主生地５の前後中央部から後端部は、前後方向に長いスリット１５を有する輪体１７となっている。 As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a central slit in the left-right direction of the main fabric 5 located closer to the rear than the sheath 3 is provided with a long slit 15 in the front-rear direction and a long slit 15 in the front-rear direction. The front end of the slit 15 is located in the vicinity of the rear end opening 10 of the sheath 3. That is, the main fabric 5 has a ring body 17 having a slit 15 which is long in the front-rear direction from the front-rear center portion to the rear end portion.

以上のような口腔清掃具１は、まず、鞘部３内に、後端開口１０の側から人差し指２ｂを挿入したうえで、人差し指２ｂ以外の少なくとも親指２ａを含む他の指をスリット１５の周縁に掛けて、これらの指でスリット１５を展張状に拡開変形する。図１では、親指２ａと小指２ｅとをスリット１５の周縁に掛けて、これらの二本の指２ａ・２ｅでスリット１５をピンと張るように拡開操作している。かかる拡開操作により、鞘部３に掌側（後方側）に向かうような作用力（Ｆ：図１に白抜き矢印で示す）を与えることができるので、人差し指２ｂからの鞘部３の抜け落ちや、位置ずれなどをよく防止できる。何よりも、かかる作用力Ｆにより、人差し指２ｂの先端腹部に鞘部３を強く密着させることができるので、大きな力を鞘部３に与えた場合でも、当該鞘部３に皺ができることがなく、したがって口腔清掃具１の実用利便性の格段の向上を図ることができる。   The oral cleaning tool 1 as described above first inserts the index finger 2b into the sheath 3 from the rear end opening 10 side, and then inserts other fingers including at least the thumb 2a other than the index finger 2b into the periphery of the slit 15. The slit 15 is expanded and deformed in a stretched manner with these fingers. In FIG. 1, the thumb 2a and the little finger 2e are hung on the periphery of the slit 15, and the two fingers 2a and 2e are expanded so that the slit 15 is pinched. By such an expansion operation, an action force (F: indicated by a white arrow in FIG. 1) that is directed toward the palm side (rear side) can be applied to the sheath portion 3, so that the sheath portion 3 falls off from the index finger 2b. In addition, misalignment can be well prevented. Above all, with this acting force F, the sheath 3 can be tightly attached to the tip abdomen of the index finger 2b, so even when a large force is applied to the sheath 3, the sheath 3 is not wrinkled, Accordingly, the practical convenience of the oral cleaning tool 1 can be remarkably improved.

加えて、主生地５に設けられた前後に長い一個のスリット１５を複数本の手指（親指２ａ〜２ｅ）で拡開操作することで、鞘部３に掌側に向かうような作用力Ｆを与える仕様であるから、手や指の大きさに関係なく、図１に示すような装着姿勢を容易にとることができる。これにて、特許文献３のように、微小な掛止孔を備える形態では避けることができなかった、手や指の大きさに合わせて、孔の開設位置や開口寸法の異なる多種の製品を用意することに起因する製造コストの上昇問題を解消して、口腔清掃具１の低コスト化に貢献できる。   In addition, by operating the slit 15 that is long in the front and back provided in the main fabric 5 with a plurality of fingers (thumbs 2a to 2e), an acting force F that is directed toward the palm side on the sheath 3 is provided. Since the specifications are given, the wearing posture as shown in FIG. 1 can be easily taken regardless of the size of the hand or the finger. Thus, as in Patent Document 3, various products having different opening positions and opening dimensions according to the size of the hands and fingers, which could not be avoided in the form of having a small retaining hole, are available. The problem of increase in manufacturing cost due to the preparation can be solved, and the cost of the oral cleaning tool 1 can be reduced.

二枚の生地５・６を貼り合わせてなるものであるから、安価に量産するに適している。また、切り込みによりスリット１５を形成してあるので、例えば主生地５の中央部に楕円形の打ち抜き部分を設けるような形態に比べて、加工が容易で製造コストを削減できる。打ち抜き部分にかかる廃棄物を除去するための製造工程が不要であるため、その点でも製造コストを削減化できる。   Since the two doughs 5 and 6 are bonded together, it is suitable for mass production at low cost. Further, since the slit 15 is formed by cutting, for example, processing is easy and the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with a configuration in which an oval punched portion is provided at the center of the main fabric 5. Since the manufacturing process for removing the waste applied to the punched portion is unnecessary, the manufacturing cost can be reduced in this respect.

不織布７の内面に防水性のフィルム９が貼り付けられていると、使用中に鞘部３に挿入された手指（人差し指２ｂ等）が濡れるのを防ぐことができる。また、フィルム９の原形回復力に由来して、拡開操作された輪体１７に弾性応力を与えることができるので、僅かな拡開操作で鞘部３に掌側に向かう大きな作用力Ｆを与えることができる。不織布７のみで生地５・６を構成する形態に比べて、裏打ちされたフィルム９で生地５・６の補強を図ることができるので、使用中に鞘部３が破れたり、拡開操作時に輪体１７が破れたりするような不具合が少ない。   When the waterproof film 9 is affixed to the inner surface of the nonwoven fabric 7, it is possible to prevent the fingers (for example, the index finger 2b) inserted into the sheath 3 from getting wet during use. In addition, since the elastic force can be applied to the expanded ring body 17 due to the original shape restoring force of the film 9, a large acting force F toward the palm side is applied to the sheath portion 3 by a slight expansion operation. Can be given. Compared to the configuration in which the fabrics 5 and 6 are formed only by the nonwoven fabric 7, the fabrics 5 and 6 can be reinforced with the backed film 9, so that the sheath portion 3 may be broken during use, or may be rotated during the expansion operation. There are few problems that the body 17 is torn.

両生地５・６の外表面に位置して清掃操作に供される不織布７を、厚み寸法の大きな凸部と、これよりも厚み寸法の小さな凹部とがマトリクス状に並ぶように絡み合わせてなるものとしてあると、これら凹部と凸部との段差を利用しての歯垢のこそぎ落としが可能となるので、清掃効率が向上する。歯肉に対して適度の刺激を与えることもできる。尤も、これら凹凸部は、主生地５の鞘部３の外表面に設けてあれば足りる。特に、凹部を開口状としてあると、その開口周縁を切断刃のように作用させて、歯垢等をよくこそぎ落とすことができる。つまり、口腔清掃具１を歯の表面に当てたとき、凹部は、その開口方向が歯表面に対して略垂直となるような姿勢形態をとるため、当該姿勢形態で口腔清浄具１を歯の表面を擦るように動かすことで、凹部の開口周縁で歯垢を引っ掛けて、これ（歯垢）を引き剥がすように除去できる。   The non-woven fabric 7 located on the outer surfaces of the two fabrics 5 and 6 and used for the cleaning operation is entangled so that convex portions having a large thickness dimension and concave portions having a smaller thickness dimension are arranged in a matrix. If it is, the plaque can be scraped off using the step between the concave and convex portions, so that the cleaning efficiency is improved. Appropriate stimulation can be given to the gingiva. However, it is sufficient that these uneven portions are provided on the outer surface of the sheath portion 3 of the main fabric 5. In particular, when the concave portion has an opening shape, the peripheral edge of the opening acts like a cutting blade, and plaque and the like can be scraped off well. That is, when the oral cleaning tool 1 is applied to the tooth surface, the concave portion takes a posture form in which the opening direction is substantially perpendicular to the tooth surface. By moving the surface so as to rub, it is possible to remove the plaque by pulling the plaque around the peripheral edge of the opening of the recess and peeling the plaque away.

上記実施形態において、スリット１５は切り込みに換えて、前後に長い開口としてもよい。尤も、切り込みによりスリット１５を形成したほうが、コスト的に有利であることは、先に述べたとおりである。   In the above embodiment, the slit 15 may be an opening that is long in the front-rear direction instead of being cut. However, as described above, it is advantageous in terms of cost to form the slit 15 by cutting.

As shown in FIG. 8, these fabrics 25 and 26 are two-layered sheet bodies in which a waterproof film 9 made of LLDPE (medium density polyethylene) is attached to one surface of a non-woven fabric 7 made of cotton. is there. The non-woven fabric 7 of both the fabrics 25 and 26 is made of cotton fibers entangled so that convex portions having a large thickness dimension and concave portions having a smaller thickness dimension are arranged in a matrix by a water jet method.

大型の主生地２５は、第１鞘部２１を構成して上下方向に長い第１装着片２８と、第２装着片２８の後端部に連続する上下に長い掛止片２９と、第１装着片２８の掛止片２９側の基端から斜め左前方に張り出し形成されて、第２鞘部２２を構成する第２装着片３０とを含む。小型の従生地２６は、主生地２５の第１および第２装着片２８・３０の外形形状と一致するような二股状に形成されている。そして、従生地２６を主生地２５に重ね合わせたうえで、従生地２６の後端部を除く外縁を、主生地２５の外縁に結着することにより、人差し指２ｂおよび親指２ａの挿入を許す後端開口３１を有する二股の手袋状の第１鞘部２１および第２鞘部２２を形成している。ここでは、ヒートシール加工により、両生地２５・２６を貼り合わせている。   The large-sized main fabric 25 includes a first mounting piece 28 that constitutes the first sheath portion 21 and is long in the vertical direction, a vertically long latching piece 29 that is continuous with the rear end portion of the second mounting piece 28, and a first And a second mounting piece 30 that is formed to project obliquely left frontward from the base end of the mounting piece 28 on the side of the latching piece 29 and constitutes the second sheath portion 22. The small slave fabric 26 is formed in a bifurcated shape that matches the outer shape of the first and second mounting pieces 28 and 30 of the main fabric 25. After the secondary fabric 26 is superimposed on the main fabric 25, the outer edge excluding the rear end portion of the secondary fabric 26 is bonded to the outer edge of the main fabric 25 to allow the insertion of the index finger 2b and the thumb 2a. A bifurcated glove-shaped first sheath portion 21 and second sheath portion 22 having an end opening 31 are formed. Here, both the fabrics 25 and 26 are bonded together by heat sealing.

図６および図７において、符号３２は熱溶着部を示しており、ここでは、従生地２６の外縁の後端部を残してヒートシール加工を施して、後端開口３１に臨む両生地２５・２６の左右両縁にスリット３３を形成している。このように後端開口３１の左右両縁にスリット３３・３３を形成してあると、スリット３３を設けない形態に比べて後端開口３１を大きく開くことができるので、人差し指２ｂおよび親指２ａに対する鞘部２１・２２の装着操作をスムーズに行うことができる。   6 and 7, reference numeral 32 denotes a heat-welded portion. Here, both the fabrics 25 and 25 facing the rear end opening 31 are subjected to heat sealing processing while leaving the rear end portion of the outer edge of the subordinate fabric 26. The slits 33 are formed on both the left and right edges of 26. If the slits 33 and 33 are formed on the left and right edges of the rear end opening 31 as described above, the rear end opening 31 can be greatly opened as compared with the case where the slit 33 is not provided, so that the index finger 2b and the thumb 2a can be opened. The mounting operation of the sheath portions 21 and 22 can be performed smoothly.

図６および図７において、符号３５は中指２ｃを掛けるため掛止片を示す。この掛止片３５は、主生地２５および従生地２６の第１鞘部２１の右側面の前後中途部から張り出し形成されており、その面中央には、前後に走るように切り込み３６が設けられている。   6 and 7, reference numeral 35 denotes a latching piece for hooking the middle finger 2c. The hooking piece 35 is formed so as to protrude from the front and rear halfway portions of the right side surface of the first sheath portion 21 of the main fabric 25 and the sub-fabric 26, and a notch 36 is provided at the center of the surface so as to run forward and backward. ing.

主生地２５の掛止片２９の左右中央には、前後方向に長く切り込みを入れて、スリット３７が形成されている。つまり、掛止片２９は、前後方向に長いスリット３７を有する輪体３９となっている。掛止片２９の好適な前後の長さ寸法は、１２〜１６cmであり、スリット３７の上下の切り込み寸法は、１３〜１５cmであり、要はスリット３７に手首全体が通る大きさであればよい。   A slit 37 is formed in the center of the left and right sides of the latching piece 29 of the main fabric 25 by cutting long in the front-rear direction. That is, the latching piece 29 is a ring body 39 having a slit 37 that is long in the front-rear direction. The preferred length of the front and rear of the latching piece 29 is 12 to 16 cm, the upper and lower cut dimensions of the slit 37 are 13 to 15 cm, and the point is that the entire wrist can pass through the slit 37. .

この口腔清掃具１は、まず、掛止片２９のスリット３７を拡開して、該スリット３７内に全ての手指を通して、手首４１に輪体３９を掛ける。次いで、後端開口３１から第２鞘部２２に親指２ａを、第１鞘部２１に人差し指２ｂを挿入する。最後に掛止片３６のスリット３５に中指を通す。以上により、図５に示すような掛け止め装着姿勢をとることができる。   In the oral cleaning tool 1, first, the slit 37 of the latching piece 29 is expanded, and all the fingers are passed through the slit 37 and the ring body 39 is hung on the wrist 41. Next, the thumb 2 a is inserted into the second sheath portion 22 from the rear end opening 31, and the index finger 2 b is inserted into the first sheath portion 21. Finally, the middle finger is passed through the slit 35 of the retaining piece 36. As described above, it is possible to take the latch mounting posture as shown in FIG.

本実施形態に係る口腔清掃具１によれば、掛止片２９の輪体３９を手首４１に掛けることで、その装着姿勢を保持する形態であるから、親指２ａや人差し指２ｂからの鞘部２１・２２の抜け落ちをよく防止できる。何よりも清掃操作時における指姿勢に関係なく、抜け落ち防止効果が図られるので、手指２を自由に動かしての清掃操作が可能となり、実用利便性に優れている。   According to the oral cleaning tool 1 according to the present embodiment, since the ring 39 of the retaining piece 29 is hung on the wrist 41 to maintain the mounting posture, the sheath portion 21 from the thumb 2a or the index finger 2b. -Can easily prevent 22 from falling off. Above all, the drop-off prevention effect can be achieved regardless of the finger posture at the time of the cleaning operation, so that the cleaning operation by freely moving the finger 2 is possible, which is excellent in practical convenience.

両生地２５・２６の外表面に位置して、清掃操作に供される不織布７を、厚み寸法の大きな凸部と、これよりも厚み寸法の小さな凹部とがマトリクス状に並ぶように絡み合わせてなるものとしてあると、これら凹部と凸部との段差を利用しての歯垢のこそぎ落としが可能となり、清掃効率の向上を図ることができる。歯肉に対して適度の刺激を与えることもできる。尤も、係る凹凸部は、主生地２５の鞘部２１・２２の外表面に設けてあれば足りる。特に、凹部を開口状としてあると、その開口周縁を切断刃のように作用させて、歯垢等をよくこそぎ落とすことができる。つまり、口腔清掃具１を歯の表面に当てたとき、凹部は、その開口方向が歯表面に対して略垂直となるような姿勢形態をとるため、当該姿勢形態で口腔清浄具１を歯の表面を擦るように動かすことで、凹部の開口周縁で歯垢を引っ掛けて、これ（歯垢）を引き剥がすように除去できる。   The nonwoven fabric 7 which is located on the outer surface of both fabrics 25 and 26 and is subjected to a cleaning operation is entangled so that convex portions having a large thickness dimension and concave portions having a smaller thickness dimension are arranged in a matrix. As it becomes, it becomes possible to scrape off plaque using the step between the concave portion and the convex portion, and the cleaning efficiency can be improved. Appropriate stimulation can be given to the gingiva. However, it is sufficient that the uneven portions are provided on the outer surfaces of the sheath portions 21 and 22 of the main fabric 25. In particular, if the concave portion has an opening shape, the peripheral edge of the opening can act like a cutting blade, and plaque and the like can be scraped off well. That is, when the oral cleaning tool 1 is applied to the tooth surface, the concave portion takes a posture form in which the opening direction is substantially perpendicular to the tooth surface. By moving the surface so as to rub, it is possible to remove the plaque by pulling the plaque around the peripheral edge of the opening of the recess and peeling the plaque away.

掛止片３５は廃することができる。スリット３７を切り込みに換えて、前後に長い開口とすることができる。   The latch piece 35 can be discarded. The slit 37 can be replaced with a notch so that the opening is long in the front-rear direction.
