Definitions
- the present invention relates to a toothbrush, and more specifically, to a toothbrush which generates an ion.
- a toothbrush which generates an ion.
- BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, various ion generating toothbrushes have been proposed, and those using a dry cell or a photoelectric element as an ion generating source are commercially available.
- batteries that use dry cells may leak electrolytes or significantly reduce battery performance if it takes a long time from manufacture to sale, and batteries that use photoelectric elements may be relatively dark. In this case, there is no sufficient amount of energy, and the expected effect cannot be expected.
- two kinds of substances having a relatively large potential difference are attached to the head of the toothbrush body in a state where at least a part thereof is electrically connected,
- the brush bristles are planted through at least one of the substances.
- the two kinds of substances are overlapped and connected, and the brush hair is implanted through the two kinds of substances.
- One is formed by a gold plating layer, and the other is formed by a film or sheet having a large potential difference with respect to gold, such as aluminum.
- the brush hair penetrates through at least one of the electrodes, the ions reach the tip of the brush hair that is electrically conductive with moisture, and the ions flow to the teeth and gingiva where the brush hair tip contacts. This causes the calculus to break down or the gingiva to be activated by a known ionic effect.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a brush of a toothbrush according to a first embodiment of the present invention with a part omitted
- FIGS. 2 and 3 are second and third views of the present invention, respectively.
- FIG. 4 is a plan view showing the embodiment, in which the brush hair is omitted from the head of the toothbrush body on the side where the brush hair is implanted.
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 shows a toothbrush body made of a synthetic resin, preferably ABS resin, and 2 shows a head inserted into an oral cavity at the time of use. , 3 indicates brush bristles.
- the tooth brush body 1 by injection molding of synthetic resin, first, gold entire head 2 in c this embodiment the head 2 formed simultaneously flocking holes 4 for flocking the brush hairs 3 main Tsu key layer 5 is formed by being c the gold main Tsu key layer 5 known chemical-electroplated luck or vacuum main Tsu key (vacuum deposition method, a sputtering-ring method, Ionme luck method) are formed by However, from the viewpoint of cost, the chemical and electric plating method is preferred.
- the flocking holes 4 are not closed by the gold plating layer 5.
- the flocking hole 4 needs to be opened before the brush hair 3 is transplanted.
- an aluminum foil 6 having a relatively large potential difference with respect to gold is adhered on the gold mech layer 5 on the surface of the head 2 where the brush bristles 3 are implanted.
- the aluminum foil 6 is electrically connected to the gold plating layer 5.
- a through hole is formed in the aluminum film 6 at a position corresponding to the flocked hole 4, and the brush bristles 3 are transplanted by a known method to complete the toothbrush of the present invention.
- the voltage difference is about 1.1 volts.
- a minute current flows and ions are generated.
- the brush bristles 3 are in direct contact with or in close proximity to the gold plating layer 5 and the aluminum foil 6, so that during use, ions generated between the brush bristles 3 contain water. A large amount flows from the tip to the teeth and gingiva where the brush bristles 3 are in contact, and can dissolve calculus and improve gingival blood circulation and strengthen it.
- gold and aluminum were selected as the metals having a relatively large potential difference in the above embodiment is that gold does not corrode and that the standard monopolar potential is extremely large at +1.50 V with respect to the standard hydrogen electrode. , Because it has a very good aesthetic.
- the other electrode zinc, copper, iron, and the like can be considered as having a large potential difference from gold, but aluminum is preferred because of poor corrosion resistance.
- the gold was formed by the plating layer because the non-conductive film of the normal gold transfer film is coated as a protective layer on the surface, so ions are generated even in contact with water. Those that do not have this protective layer, on the other hand, can be peeled off by gentle friction, and gold plates are expensive and impractical.
- a metal layer 5a is formed, and for example, an aluminum foil 6a is adhered to a portion where the synthetic resin is exposed at a central portion thereof by a hot-sump or the like, and an outer periphery of the aluminum foil 6a is formed. It may be brought into contact with the gold plating layer 5a.
- a gold plating layer or a gold plate 5b and an aluminum foil 6b are hot-stamped in parallel to the surface of the head on the side where the brush bristles 3 are to be planted. It may be adhered.
- the outer peripheral surface of the head 2 and the outer surface on the side opposite to the surface on which the brush bristles 3 are implanted may or may not be provided with a paint layer. good.
- the aluminum foil 6 was superimposed on and bonded to the gold plating layer 5, but separately from this, the gold plating layer was extended to the outer periphery of the aluminum plating 6.
- the aluminum foil is glued to the inside of the head 2 surrounded by the gold metal layer with a hot stamp etc., and the gold metal layer and the aluminum foil are connected to each other only at the periphery.
- the brush bristles may be implanted only through the aluminum foil.
- the gold-mesh layer 5 can be formed not only on the head 2 but also on the entire handle, so that an expensive image can be obtained to enhance the commercial value.
- the toothbrush of the present invention two kinds of substances having a relatively large potential difference are attached to the head of the toothbrush body in a state where at least a part of them is electrically connected, and at least the one kind is attached.
- the brush bristles are implanted by penetrating the above-mentioned substance.
- moisture and dentifrice in the oral cavity are used as an electrolyte, and the above-mentioned two substances are used as an electrode.
- a battery system is formed, and the generated ions reach the tip of the brush bristles via the moisture of the brush bristles and flow to the teeth and gingiva where the brush bristles are in contact. It becomes possible.
- the substance in this part comes into contact with teeth and peels off during use. There is no risk of dropping or falling off, so the effect is not reduced during long-term use.
- the above two substances are attached to the surface on which brush bristles are to be planted by plating, bonding, hot stamping, etc., so that no special mold is required, making it extremely simple and low cost.
- the toothbrush of the present invention can be manufactured, and a disposable toothbrush can be obtained.
- gold has a very large standard monopolar potential, so that not only can a large potential difference be obtained in combination with other metals, Gold is beautiful without being corroded, and has an excellent effect that it can be extremely large and enhance its commercial value by being formed in a very thin form, which keeps costs down.

Abstract
Brosse à dents dont la tête (2) est pourvue de deux sortes de matières (5, 6) dont le potentiel électrique est très différent, par exemple de l'or et de l'aluminium, lesdites matières étant électriquement connectées, au moins partiellement, l'une à l'autre. Des poils (3) sont implantés au niveau de la tête de la brosse au moins dans une de ces matières. Une grande quantité d'eau et/ou de dentifrice présente dans la bouche lorsque la brosse est utilisée agit comme un électrolyte pour former un système de cellules avec les électrodes desdites deux sortes de matières. Le système génère une grande quantité d'ions à chaque électrode, en fonction du mouvement de l'énergie électrique. Grâce aux poils (3) qui passent à travers au moins une des électrodes, les ions atteignent les extrémités des poils (3) contenant de l'eau et électroconducteurs, puis ils se répartissent entre les dents et les gencives en contact avec les extrémités des poils de la brosse, de sorte que le tartre est décomposé et que les gencives sont massées par l'échange ionique.
