付きやすいという欠点がある。 As is well known, the boundary between teeth (interdental area) is a place where dental plaque is particularly prone to accumulate, and even if you brush your teeth with a toothbrush, it is easy to leave unpolished residue.
Therefore, toothbrushes with flocked patterns and brittle shapes that are particularly suitable for brushing between the teeth have been considered, but in this case, brushing with a regular toothbrush (the most common toothbrush currently on the market) has been considered. After brushing, it is necessary to replace the toothbrush with one for interdental use, and it is inconvenient to prepare two different types of toothbrushes. Therefore, several toothbrushes have been proposed that are equipped with interdental brushes in addition to conventional brushes. For example, Utsukai 55-
Seen in 127535, 57-136235, 57-178534, etc. However, in the devices described in these documents, an interdental brush is provided at one end of the grip handle, and a regular brush is provided at the other end, and each is fixed and its position cannot be changed. First, when storing toothbrushes, there is a drawback that the tips of the brittle brushes, especially for interdental brushes, are easily touched by hands or the walls of the storage device, and are easily damaged.

〔問題点を解決するための手段〕[Means for solving problems]

本考案者は、通常の刷子と歯間用刷子を備えた
歯刷子の上記欠点に鑑み、その欠点を解消する新
しいタイプの歯刷子につき種々検討の結果、本考
案の歯刷子を開発した。 In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of toothbrushes equipped with a regular brush and an interdental brush, the inventor of the present invention has developed the toothbrush of the present invention as a result of various studies on a new type of toothbrush that eliminates the drawbacks.

てなる歯刷子を提供するものである。 That is, the present invention provides a toothbrush in which the bristle-planting table is replaceable, which consists of a bristle-filling stand, an elastic rod-shaped object that grips the periphery of the bristle-filling stand, and a handle in which both ends of the elastic rod-like object are embedded. A rod-shaped object extends to grip both sides of the elastic rod-shaped object, and its bent end is embedded vertically in the center of both sides, so that the grip handle can be rotated 180 degrees around the bent end of the elastic rod-like object. To provide a toothbrush which is rotatable and has an interdental brush protruding from one of both ends of a handle.

第１図の状態から握柄３を180°回転させた状態を
示すものである。 In FIG. 1, 1 is a hair transplanting table, 2 is an elastic rod-like object that grips the periphery of the hair-planting table, 3 is a grip handle, and 2' is an elastic rod-like object embedded in the center of the grip handle 3. The tip bent portion 4 is an interdental brush portion.
The grip handle 3 has a cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the elastic rod-shaped object 2 is adapted to be removably fitted onto the side surface of a grip handle 3 so that it can be gripped. In the toothbrush of the present invention, the grip handle 3 can be rotated 180° around the 2' (with this as a fulcrum). Of course, the elastic rod-shaped member 2 instead of the grip handle 3 may be rotated 180°. Figure 2 shows
This figure shows a state in which the grip handle 3 is rotated 180 degrees from the state shown in FIG.

歯間用刷子４を収納する凹部は、第１図のように
植毛台１に設けるのが好ましい。 As is clear from the above description, the toothbrush of the present invention can be used in the state shown in Figure 1 when brushing teeth normally, and then when brushing between the teeth in particular.
Rotate the grip handle 180 degrees to the position shown in Figure 2 and brush between your teeth. After polishing, you can store it again in the state shown in Figure 1. This has the effect that the interdental brush 4 is protected by a normal brush, and its brittle is less likely to be damaged. Therefore, from the point of view of protection,
It is preferable that a recessed portion for storing the interdental brush 4 is provided in the bristle implantation stand 1 as shown in FIG.

の容易さと強度を考慮すると金属が好ましい。 In the toothbrush of the present invention, it is preferable to provide grooves around the bristle bed and on both sides of the handle as shown in FIGS. Of course, it can also be implemented in other countries. The material of the elastic bar may be any material that has energy elasticity, such as metal, plastic, glass fiber, etc., but metal is preferable in view of ease of processing and strength.
