Description

本発明は左右方向のブラシングで歯と歯の間の汚れが『くさび効果』で落ち、さらにはブラシングの際に歯肉に大きな力がかからず、ブラシング時に握り本体から捩じり力の負担を受けることなく使用者が歯磨きでき、更にはブラシ束の横方向突出が抑えられて口内で横方向に嵩張らずに歯磨き可能な歯磨き方法及びそれに用いる歯ブラシに関するものである。In the present invention, the dirt between the teeth is removed by the “wedge effect” by brushing in the left-right direction, and further, no great force is applied to the gums during brushing, and the burden of torsional force is applied from the grip body during brushing. The present invention relates to a tooth brushing method and a toothbrush used therefor, in which the user can brush his / her teeth without receiving it, and further, the lateral protrusion of the brush bundle can be suppressed and the brush can be brushed without being bulky in the lateral direction.

従来において歯ブラシのブラシ束は歯ブラシの握り本体から直線的に設けられているため、左右方向のブラシングだけでは歯と歯の間の残った食べ物の細粒及び付着した汚れが落ちない、さらには直線的に設けられているため握り本体からの力がそのまま伝わりブラシングの際に歯肉に大きな力がかかり歯肉に損傷を与えることがあった。
従来ブラシ束が握り本体から左右方向に傾斜した歯ブラシは特開2005−66268、特開平11−137340、特開平7−213339、実開平5−55922、特開2009−39495、特開2004−113751に公知であり、また特開2012−428が先願である。
またブラシ束が握り本体から前後方向に傾斜した歯ブラシは実開平5−95327、実開昭63−13025に公知である。
以下特開2005−66268、特開平11−137340、特開平7−213339、実開平5−55922、特開2009−39495、特開2004−113751、特開2012−428、実開平5−95327、実開昭63−13025の各々について説明する。
まず特開2005−66268に開示されているのはブラシ束を横方向に傾斜させることだけであり、その傾斜させたブラシ束をブラシング時に歯並びに沿わせるのかまたは歯並びに対して傾斜させて使用するのか、いずれであるか全く開示されていない。
すなわち該公報の図4の歯ブラシについて「ブラシ束を歯並びに対して傾斜した状態で左右方向にブラシングする」という歯磨き方法は明細書には全く明示的に開示されていないのである。
まずブラシ束を歯並びに対して傾斜させて歯磨きする場合であるが、「ブラシ束に指を添えて」磨くのでなければブラシ束を歯に当てて左右方向に動かせばブラシ束は押せばより傾斜し引けば傾斜がなくなり握り本体と直線になるから、握り本体のみを持っていては歯磨き不能である。
すなわち傾斜した状態で歯磨きすればブラシ束に回転力が作用し「ブラシ束に指を添えて」磨かなければその傾斜を維持できないからである。
歯ブラシのブラシ束の傾斜状態が極めて小さな力(出願人は図4の歯ブラシを製作し実験により傾斜の保持力は「小さな力」であることを確認した)で傾斜がなくなり直線状態になるからブラシ束を傾斜したまま歯に当てて左右方向に動かせばブラシ束は押せばより傾斜し引けば傾斜がなくなり握り本体と直線になる。
従って握り本体のみを持って歯磨きするという条件ではブラシ束を歯並びに沿わせる一方握り本体は傾斜した状態の歯磨き方法になり、従って該公報の図4の歯ブラシの使用方法はこの歯磨き方法と考えるのが自然な解釈である。
この自然な解釈から百歩譲ってあえて該公報を拡大解釈しブラシ束を歯並びに対して傾斜させて歯磨きするのであれば、使用者は握り本体を持つだけでなくさらに「ブラシ束に指を添えて」歯磨きしなければ歯磨き不能である。
該公報の[0006]に図3のブラシヘッド(1)の傾斜を維持するために「人差し指または親指を添えて」との記載があり、図4の歯ブラシについては説明がないから、それを類推すれば傾斜の維持には指を添える必要がありブラシ束の傾斜を指で保持しながら左右に早くブラシングするのは非常に困難で実用に耐えないものである。
すなわち傾斜が40°以下の緩い傾斜のブラシ束を用い通常のある程度早い速度(以下「早い」とは「通常のある程度早い」という意味に使用する)でブラシングして歯と歯の間の汚れ等を削ぎ落とすという効果、以下『くさび効果』という、を達成する本願発明の機能とは異なるものである。
該公報の図4を参照すればそのブラシヘッドの傾斜は45°以上(45°に近いがそれより大きい)であり左右方向のブラシングで歯と歯の間の残った食べ物の細粒及び付着した汚れを削ぎ落とすために必要な傾斜である本願発明における40°以下(すなわち『くさび効果』を発揮するために必要な角度以下)ではない。
ブラシ束が40°以下の緩い傾斜であれば、左右方向のブラシングによって歯と歯の隙間はブラシ束に接触する瞬間と非接触の瞬間を交互に繰り返ししかも40°以下の緩い傾斜で斜めに接触していくことになり『くさび効果』(横方向1の力で使用者が磨けば、これに対して40°とした時は横方向対上下方向の比率は約1:1.19(上下方向の力は約19%増し)の力で歯と歯の間の汚れを落とす力が作用するという『くさび効果』、また35°とした時は横方向対上下方向の比率は約1:1.43(上下方向の力は約43%増し)の力で歯と歯の間の汚れを落とす力が作用するという『くさび効果』、さらに30°ならば約1:1.73(約73%増し)、比較として該公報に近い45°ならば1:1であるから力の増幅はなく『くさび効果』はない)により(言い換えれば40°以下の緩い角度にすれば上下方向の力が大きくなり増幅されるという効果により)削ぎ落としが達成されるからである。
Conventionally, the brush bundle of the toothbrush is linearly provided from the grip body of the toothbrush, so that the remaining food fine particles between the teeth and the attached dirt are not removed only by brushing in the left-right direction. Therefore, the force from the grip body is transmitted as it is, and a large force is applied to the gingiva during brushing, which may damage the gingiva.
Toothbrushes in which a conventional brush bundle is gripped and inclined in the left-right direction from the main body are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-66268, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-137340, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-213339, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-55922, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-39495, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-113751. It is known and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-428 is a prior application.
Further, toothbrushes in which the brush bundle is gripped and inclined in the front-rear direction from the main body are known in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-95327 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-13025.
JP-A-2005-66268, JP-A-11-137340, JP-A-7-213339, JP-A-5-55922, JP-A-2009-39495, JP-A-2004-113751, JP-A-2012-428, JP-A-5-95327, Each of Kaisho 63-13025 will be described.
First, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-66268 only discloses that the brush bundle is inclined in the lateral direction, and the inclined brush bundle is used along with the teeth or the tooth arrangement during brushing. Neither is it disclosed at all.
That is, for the toothbrush of FIG. 4 of the publication, the tooth brushing method of “brushing the brush bundle in the left-right direction while being inclined with respect to the tooth arrangement” is not explicitly disclosed in the specification.
First of all, brushing the brush bundle against the teeth is brushing your teeth, but if you don't polish it with your finger on the brush bundle, if you move the brush bundle to the left and right and move it left and right, the brush bundle will tilt more if you press it. If it is dragged, there will be no inclination and it will be straight with the grip body , so it is impossible to brush your teeth if you have only the grip body .
That is, if the toothbrushing is performed in an inclined state, a rotational force acts on the brush bundle, and the inclination cannot be maintained unless the brush bundle is polished with a finger attached to the brush bundle.
Since the inclination of the toothbrush bundle is extremely small (Applicant manufactured the toothbrush of FIG. 4 and confirmed that the inclination holding force is “small force” by experiment), the inclination disappears and becomes a straight line. If the bundle is tilted and applied to the teeth and moved in the left-right direction, the brush bundle will tilt more if it is pressed, and if it is pulled, there will be no inclination and the grip will be straight.
Therefore, under the condition that only the grip body is brushed, the brush bundle is placed along the teeth while the grip body is a tooth brushing method in an inclined state. Therefore, the method of using the toothbrush in FIG. Is a natural interpretation.
If the user wishes to brush the toothbrush by inclining the gazette from this natural interpretation and inclining the brush bundle against the tooth arrangement, the user not only holds the grip body but also attaches a finger to the brush bundle. If you don't brush your teeth, you can't brush your teeth.
In [0006] of the publication, there is a description that “attach an index finger or thumb” in order to maintain the inclination of the brush head (1) in FIG. 3, and there is no explanation for the toothbrush in FIG. In order to maintain the inclination, it is necessary to attach a finger, and it is very difficult and unpractical to brush right and left quickly while holding the inclination of the brush bundle with the finger.
That is, using a bunch of loosely inclined brushes with an inclination of 40 ° or less, brushing at a normal high speed (hereinafter, “fast” means “normally fast”) and brushing between teeth, etc. This is different from the function of the present invention that achieves the effect of scraping off the film, hereinafter referred to as the “wedge effect”.
Referring to FIG. 4 of the publication, the inclination of the brush head is 45 ° or more (close to 45 ° but larger than that), and left and right food brushing and adhering fine food particles between the teeth are attached. It is not less than 40 ° (that is, less than an angle necessary for exhibiting the “wedge effect”) in the present invention, which is an inclination necessary for scraping off dirt.
If the brush bundle has a gentle inclination of 40 ° or less, the tooth-to-tooth gap alternately repeats the moment of contact with the brush bundle and the non-contact instant by brushing in the left-right direction, and inclines with a gentle inclination of 40 ° or less. “Wedge effect” (If the user polishes with a force of 1 in the horizontal direction, the ratio of the horizontal direction to the vertical direction is about 1: 1.19 (vertical direction when the angle is 40 °) The force of about 19% increases the force of removing dirt between teeth, and when it is set to 35 °, the ratio of horizontal to vertical is about 1: 1. 43 (the vertical force increases by about 43%), the “wedge effect” that the force of removing dirt between teeth acts, and if it is 30 °, it is about 1: 1.73 (about 73% increase) ) For comparison, if the angle is 45 ° close to the official gazette, it is 1: 1, so there is no force amplification and “wedge Fruit "by the effect of the no) (vertical force if loose angle of 40 ° or less in other words is now greatly amplified) because scraping is achieved.

特開平11−137340の歯ブラシもブラシ束の左右の約45°の傾斜状態がブラシング時に固定されていないのであり、従って40°以下に緩く傾斜した状態で左右方向にブラシングする歯磨き方法を全く想定していないことは同様である。
またその技術課題は記載されている通り「この発明は、使用者のニーズに合わせて形を作り使用するため、身体障害者も怪我人も、又健康な人も皆同じように歯及び歯肉を磨ける」ことにあり、要するに身体障害者や怪我人のために握り本体を傾斜させた歯ブラシであり、本願発明のような身体障害者や怪我人と関係のない「歯磨きの左右の動きの際の動的な『くさび効果』によって歯と歯の隙間、歯と歯肉の隙間の全てのエリアにおいて食べ物の細粒及び付着した汚れを従来の歯ブラシよりも同じ時間の歯磨きでも削ぎ落とす効果を発揮する」というものではない。
特開平7−213339には先端部が握り本体から一体に傾斜した傾斜形状品でありブラシ束の左右の傾斜が固定された歯ブラシが開示されているが、その傾斜が70°〜80°であり左右方向のブラシングで歯と歯の間の残った食べ物の細粒及び付着した汚れを削ぎ落とすために必要な傾斜である40°以下(すなわち『くさび効果』を発揮するために必要な角度以下)ではない、しかもブラシ束を歯並びに沿うように使用すると図示され同時に明細書にもそのように説明されているから傾斜した状態で歯磨きすることを全く想定していないことは明らかである。
実開平5−55922にはブラシ先端部分を曲げ傾けた歯ブラシが開示されているが、「歯並びとブラシの毛並みが平行になり」との説明がある通りブラシ束を歯並びに対して傾斜させて歯磨きする本願発明の歯磨き方法とは異なる。
さらに本願発明はその図4、図5、図6に示す通り「握り本体の前記細い断面を同じ断面のまま先端方向に延長したと仮定すればその延長された断面がブラシ束の正面からの投影の端部に交わる様にブラシ束は横方向突出を抑えられて配置され」との構成である。
すなわち握り本体の細い断面とブラシ束の横方向突出の端部まで短い方は長さKであり長い方は長さHであるが、断面の延長とブラシ束の正面からの投影の端部が交わっている。
この結果次の2つの効果が発揮される:
(1)ブラシ束の横方向突出が抑えられて口内で横方向に嵩張らずに歯磨き可能になる。
何故なら本願発明の図8は該公報の図1の説明図であるが、それに示す通りブラシ束の横方向突出は本願発明(図6)と比較して交差しないからその分大きくなっているからである。
(2)ブラシング時に握り本体から捩じり力の負担を受けることなく使用者が歯磨きできる。
何故なら図8(該公報の図1の説明図)と本願発明の図7を比較すればそもそもブラシ束を歯に当てて磨く際にはブラシ束は力を受けるが、図7に示す様に本願発明は握り本体の細い断面の接続部分の延長の左のブラシにも力が作用すると共に右のブラシにも力が作用するからそれらの力による回転モーメントはブラシ束の全面が歯に当たっている限り相殺されてゼロになるからである。
以上の効果を伴う本願発明の「握り本体の前記細い断面を同じ断面のまま先端方向に延長したと仮定すればその延長された断面がブラシ束の正面からの投影の端部に交わる様にブラシ束は横方向突出を抑えられて配置され」との構成は該公報には全く開示されていない。
The toothbrush of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-137340 is not fixed at the time of brushing about 45 ° to the left and right of the brush bundle. Therefore, a brushing method for brushing left and right in a state where the toothbrush is gently inclined to 40 ° or less is assumed. The same is not true.
Also, as the technical problem is described, “This invention is shaped and used in accordance with the needs of the user, so that the disabled and injured, as well as healthy people, can use their teeth and gums in the same way. It is a toothbrush that has a grip body for the disabled or injured, and has a tilted body, and has no relation to the disabled or injured person like the present invention. The dynamic `` wedge effect '' has the effect of scraping fine food particles and attached dirt in all areas of the gap between teeth and teeth and gums even with toothbrushing at the same time as a conventional toothbrush. ''It's not that.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-213339 discloses a toothbrush that has a tip portion that is gripped and integrally tilted from the main body, and a right and left inclination of the brush bundle is fixed. The inclination is 70 ° to 80 °. Left and right brushing, the inclination required to scrape off the remaining fine food particles and adhering dirt between the teeth is 40 ° or less (ie, below the angle necessary to exhibit the “wedge effect”) However, since it is shown and described in the specification that the brush bundle is used along the teeth, it is clear that no brushing is assumed.
Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-55922 discloses a toothbrush having a brush tip bent and inclined. However, as described in "the tooth arrangement and the brush line are parallel", the brush bundle is inclined with respect to the tooth arrangement and brushed. This is different from the tooth brushing method of the present invention.
Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6, the present invention indicates that “if the narrow cross section of the grip body is extended in the tip direction with the same cross section, the extended cross section is projected from the front of the brush bundle. The brush bundle is arranged so as to be prevented from projecting in the lateral direction so as to intersect with the end of the ”.
That is, the shorter side to the narrow cross section of the grip body and the laterally protruding end of the brush bundle is the length K and the longer one is the length H, but the extension of the cross section and the end of the projection from the front of the brush bundle are Crosses.
This results in the following two effects:
(1) The protrusion of the brush bundle in the lateral direction is suppressed, and tooth brushing is possible without being bulky in the lateral direction in the mouth.
This is because FIG. 8 of the present invention is an explanatory view of FIG. 1 of the publication, but the lateral protrusion of the brush bundle does not intersect with the present invention (FIG. 6) as shown in FIG. It is.
(2) The user can brush his / her teeth without receiving a torsional load from the gripping body during brushing.
This is because, when comparing FIG. 8 (the explanatory diagram of FIG. 1 of the publication) with FIG. 7 of the present invention, the brush bundle receives force when brushing the brush bundle against the teeth in the first place, as shown in FIG. In the present invention, a force acts on the left brush of the extension of the connecting portion of the grip body with a thin cross section, and a force also acts on the right brush, so the rotational moment due to these forces is as long as the entire surface of the brush bundle hits the teeth. This is because it is offset to zero.
In the present invention having the above-mentioned effect, the brush is so arranged that if the narrow cross section of the grip body is extended in the tip direction with the same cross section, the extended cross section intersects the end of the projection from the front of the brush bundle. The configuration in which the bundle is arranged with restrained lateral protrusion is not disclosed in the publication.

特開2009−39495、特開2004−113751は実開平5−55922と同様にブラシ束を歯並びに対して傾斜させて歯磨きする本願発明の歯磨き方法とは異なる。
さらに実開平5−55922と同様に本願発明の「握り本体の前記細い断面を同じ断面のまま先端方向に延長したと仮定すればその延長された断面がブラシ束の正面からの投影の端部に交わる様にブラシ束は横方向突出を抑えられて配置され」との構成は全く開示されておらず異なる。
特開2012−428は先願であるが、該公報には本願発明の「その長さが束幅の2倍以上にされたブラシ束」との構成は開示されていないから特許法29条の2の拒絶理由はない。
本願発明の構成はブラシ束の長さを束幅の2倍以上にするものであり、それにより傾斜したブラシ束を左右方向に動かすだけで歯との上下方向の接触幅を一度のブラシングで十分確保でき本願発明の歯磨き方法を実用化するために必須の構成である。
次に実開平5−95327、実開昭63−13025の歯ブラシはブラシ束が握り本体から前後方向に傾斜したものであり、そのブラシ束の前後の傾斜はブラシング時に固定されているが、前後方向に傾斜したものにおいては固定することは当然である、何故ならば歯磨きの際にブラシ束には押し付けるための前後方向の力がかかるから固定しなければ前後方向の傾斜の維持がそもそも不可能であるからである。
これに対してブラシ束が握り本体から左右方向に傾斜した歯ブラシについて「握り本体のみを持って歯磨きをする」という条件であれば従来のもの全ては前述の通り、ブラシ束を歯並びに沿うように使用することを前提にしているのであり、何故なら機能的に(特開2005−66268、特開平11−137340はブラシ束の左右の傾斜がブラシング時に固定されていないから歯並びに沿う使用方法でなければ機能的に使用不能である)、または明示的に(特開平7−213339、実開平5−55922、特開2009−39495、特開2004−113751、特開2012−428はブラシ束を歯並びに沿うように使用すると説明されているから)明らかだからである。
JP-A-2009-39495 and JP-A-2004-113751 differ from the toothbrushing method of the present invention in which the brush bundle is inclined with respect to the tooth arrangement and brushed in the same manner as in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-55922 .
Further, as in the case of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-55922, it is assumed that the narrow cross section of the grip body is extended in the tip direction while maintaining the same cross section, and the extended cross section is at the projection end from the front of the brush bundle. The configuration of “the brush bundles are arranged so as to be prevented from protruding in the lateral direction so as to intersect” is not disclosed at all and is different.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-428 is a prior application, but the publication does not disclose the configuration of “the brush bundle whose length is more than twice the bundle width” of the present invention. There is no second reason for refusal.
The configuration of the present invention makes the length of the brush bundle more than twice the width of the bundle, so that it is sufficient to brush the contact width in the vertical direction with the tooth only by moving the inclined brush bundle in the horizontal direction. This is an essential configuration for practical use of the tooth brushing method of the present invention.
Next , the toothbrushes of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Nos. 5-95327 and 63-13025 are those in which the brush bundle is gripped and inclined in the front-rear direction from the main body, and the front-rear inclination of the brush bundle is fixed during brushing. It is natural to fix it in the case of a slanted surface, because it is impossible to maintain the slanting in the front-rear direction unless it is fixed because the force in the front-rear direction is applied to the brush bundle during brushing. Because there is.
On the other hand, as long as the condition that the brush bundle is a toothbrush that is inclined in the left-right direction from the grip body and "brushes the toothbrush with only the grip body", all the conventional ones are arranged along the teeth as described above. This is based on the premise that it is used, because functionally (JP 2005-66268, JP 11-137340 B, the right and left inclination of the brush bundle is not fixed at the time of brushing. If it is not functionally usable) or explicitly (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-213339, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-55922, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2009-39495, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-113751, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-428 Because it is clear that it will be used along.)

発明が解決しようとする課題Problems to be solved by the invention

本発明は以上の従来の課題を解決し、左右方向のブラシングで歯と歯の間の残った食べ物の細粒及び付着した汚れが『くさび効果』で落ち、さらにはブラシングの際に歯肉に大きな力がかからず、ブラシング時に握り本体から捩じり力の負担を受けることなく使用者が歯磨きでき、更にはブラシ束の横方向突出が抑えられて口内で横方向に嵩張らずに歯磨き可能な歯磨き方法及びそれに用いる歯ブラシの提供を目的とする。The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and the left and right direction brushing removes fine food particles and adhered dirt between the teeth due to the “wedge effect”. The user can brush their teeth without applying a torsional force from the gripping body when brushing, and the brush bundle can be brushed laterally without being bulky in the mouth. An object is to provide a tooth brushing method and a toothbrush used therefor.

課題を解決するための手段Means for solving the problem

本発明は以上の目的達成のために、その長さが束幅の2倍以上にされたブラシ束をその束幅の1/2(半分)以上で40°以下に握り本体から横方向に傾斜して該握り本体の先端部に設け、該先端部への前記握り本体の傾斜しない状態の接続部分は握り本体の基部より細い断面にされ、握り本体の前記細い断面を同じ断面のまま先端方向に延長したと仮定すればその延長された断面がブラシ束の正面からの投影の端部に交わる様にブラシ束は横方向突出を抑えられて配置され、ブラシ束の左右の傾斜がブラシング時に固定された歯ブラシによりブラシ束が横方向に傾斜した状態で左右方向に握り本体のみを持ってブラシングする歯磨き方法を提案するものである。In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention grips a brush bundle whose length is twice or more the bundle width to be not less than ½ (half) of the bundle width and not more than 40 °, and inclines laterally from the main body. The connecting portion of the grip body that is not inclined to the distal end portion has a narrower cross section than the base portion of the grip body, and the thin cross section of the grip body remains in the same cross section in the distal direction. If the brush bundle is assumed to be extended, the brush bundle is arranged with lateral protrusion restrained so that the extended cross section intersects the projection end from the front of the brush bundle, and the right and left inclination of the brush bundle is fixed when brushing A toothbrushing method is proposed in which a brush bundle is held in a horizontal direction by a toothbrush and is gripped in the left-right direction and held only by the main body.

以下本発明の歯磨き方法及びそれに用いる歯ブラシを図面に示す実施例に従って説明する。
図1及び図2は本発明の歯磨き方法及びそれに用いる歯ブラシであり、該歯ブラシは握り本体(1)を有し、該握り本体(1)の先端から横方向に傾斜する先端部(2)にブラシ束(21)が設けられる。
該ブラシ束(21)は従来公知のナイロン樹脂、動物の毛等またはそれに類するブラシ材を図4または図5に示す様に束幅w及び長さaで先端部(2)に束状に固定したものである。
ブラシ束(21)は図4または図5に示す様に、その束幅wの1/2(半分)以上で40°以下(望ましくは35°以下)の横傾斜長さy(握り本体(1)から直角の方向のブラシ束(21)の傾斜長さ)を有して握り本体(1)の先端から横方向に傾斜する先端部(2)に設けられる。
また先端部(2)への前記握り本体(1)の傾斜しない状態の接続部分は握り本体(1)の基部より細い断面にされる。
図4に示す様に握り本体(1)の前記細い断面を同じ断面のまま先端方向に延長したと仮定すればその延長された断面がブラシ束(21)の正面からの投影の端部に交わる様にブラシ束(21)は横方向突出を抑えられて配置される。
Hereinafter, the toothbrushing method of the present invention and the toothbrush used therefor will be described with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.
1 and 2 show a toothbrushing method of the present invention and a toothbrush used therefor, the toothbrush having a grip body (1) and having a tip (2) inclined laterally from the tip of the grip body (1). A brush bundle (21) is provided.
The brush bundle (21) is a conventional nylon resin, animal hair, or similar brush material, and is fixed to the tip (2) in a bundle shape with a bundle width w and length a as shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. It is a thing.
As shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, the brush bundle (21) has a laterally inclined length y (grip body (1) of not less than 1/2 (half) of the bundle width w and not more than 40 ° (preferably not more than 35 °). ) To the tip (2) inclined in the lateral direction from the tip of the grip body (1).
In addition, the connecting portion of the grip body (1) that is not inclined with respect to the distal end portion (2) has a narrower cross section than the base portion of the grip body (1).
Assuming that the narrow cross section of the grip body (1) is extended in the tip direction with the same cross section as shown in FIG. 4, the extended cross section intersects the projection end from the front of the brush bundle (21). In the same manner, the brush bundle (21) is arranged with suppressed lateral protrusion.

すなわち前記細い断面とブラシ束(21)の横方向突出の端部までの長さの短い方は長さKであり長い方は長さHであり、そのHとKの間が断面であってそれを延長すればブラシ束(21)の正面からの投影の端部に交わっていることがわかる(さらに説明すると図4は正面図であるから図4のブラシ束(21)自体はその投影でもありそれと前記細い断面の延長が交差する、接するのでなく明確にブラシの集合を両側に分ける、ことが示される)。
ここで「延長」の意味を明確にするため説明を付加すれば、図4では先端部(2)への握り本体(1)の傾斜しない状態の接続部分(細い断面)は直線であったが、もしもその接続部分が図8(図1乃至図4の実施例のブラシ束とは異なるが)に示す様にテーパー(本発明は実施例に示さないがその接続部分がテーパーであることを含む)であれば傾斜(先端部の傾斜)が始まるまでが接続部分であるから傾斜しない状態の接続部分の傾斜直前の断面を延長すればよい。
またブラシ束(21)は図示の様に握り本体(1)の中心線から横方向に離れた位置から設けてもよいし、中心線から離れずに設けてもよい。
ブラシ束(21)の形状は図4の様に直線的でもよいし図5の様に湾曲的でもよい。
さらにブラシ束(21)の長手方向端部は図4及び図5においては丸くされているが、真っ直ぐな端部(図示しない)でもよい。
That is, the shorter one of the narrow cross section and the end of the brush bundle (21) extending in the lateral direction is the length K, the longer one is the length H, and the section between H and K is a cross section. If it is extended, it can be seen that the ends of the projection from the front of the brush bundle (21) intersect (further, since FIG. 4 is a front view, the brush bundle (21) in FIG. It is shown that the extension of the narrow cross-section intersects and clearly divides the set of brushes on both sides rather than touching them).
Here, if an explanation is added to clarify the meaning of “extension”, in FIG. 4, the non-inclined connection portion (thin cross section) of the grip body (1) to the tip end portion (2) is a straight line. If the connecting portion is tapered as shown in FIG. 8 (different from the brush bundle of the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 4) (this invention is not shown in the embodiment but includes that the connecting portion is tapered) ), It is only necessary to extend the cross section immediately before the inclination of the connection portion in a state where the connection portion is not inclined because the connection portion is inclined until the inclination (inclination of the tip portion) starts.
The brush bundle (21) may be provided from a position laterally separated from the center line of the grip body (1) as shown in the figure, or may be provided without being separated from the center line.
The shape of the brush bundle (21) may be linear as shown in FIG. 4 or curved as shown in FIG.
Furthermore, although the longitudinal direction edge part of the brush bundle (21) is rounded in FIG.4 and FIG.5, a straight edge part (not shown) may be sufficient.

以上の本発明の歯磨き方法及び実施例の歯ブラシの使用方法を次に説明する。
すなわち使用者は図1に示す様に歯ブラシの握り本体(1)のみを持って歯磨きするのであるが、ブラシ束(21)が横方向に傾斜しているため使用者が左右方向にブラシングしても先端部が握り本体から一体に傾斜した傾斜形状品であるから傾斜がブラシング時に固定され、歯と歯の隙間をブラシが斜めに接触していくため残った食べ物の細粒及び付着した汚れがブラシから上下方向の力を受けることになり、左右方向のブラシングでも上下方向にブラシングしたのと同じ乃至(斜めに削ぎ落とす効果がプラスされるから単に上下方向にブラシングした)以上に残った食べ物の細粒及び付着した汚れが削ぎ落とされるという効果がある。
何故ならブラシ束(21)が少なくともその束幅wの1/2(半分)以上で40°以下の横傾斜長さyを有して傾斜すれば、左右方向のブラシングによって歯と歯の隙間はブラシ束に接触する瞬間と非接触の瞬間を交互に繰り返ししかも40°以下の斜めに接触していくことになり『くさび効果』(横方向1の力で使用者が磨けば、これに対して40°とした時は横方向対上下方向の比率は約1:1.19(上下方向の力は約19%増し)の力で歯と歯の間の汚れを落とす力が作用するという『くさび効果』、また35°とした時は横方向対上下方向の比率は約1:1.43(上下方向の力は約43%増し)の力で歯と歯の間の汚れを落とす力が作用するという『くさび効果』、また30°ならば約1:1.73(約73%増し)、比較として該公報に近い45°ならば1:1であるから力の増幅はなく『くさび効果』はない)により(言い換えれば40°以下の緩い角度にすれば上下方向の力が大きくなり増幅されるという効果により)削ぎ落としが達成されるからである。
The method of using the above-described toothbrushing method of the present invention and the toothbrush of the embodiment will be described below.
That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the user brushes the toothbrush with only the grip body (1) of the toothbrush, but since the brush bundle (21) is inclined in the horizontal direction, the user brushes in the horizontal direction. Since the tip part is a tilted product that is integrally tilted from the main body, the tilt is fixed when brushing, and the brush contacts diagonally between the teeth, so the remaining fine food particles and attached dirt It will receive the force from the brush in the vertical direction, and the left and right brushing is the same as brushing in the vertical direction (the effect of scraping off diagonally is added, so it is simply brushed in the vertical direction) There is an effect that fine particles and attached dirt are scraped off.
This is because if the brush bundle (21) is inclined with a laterally inclined length y of at least 1/2 (half) of the bundle width w and not more than 40 °, the tooth-to-tooth gap is caused by lateral brushing. The moment of contact with the brush bundle and the non-contact moment are repeated alternately, and the contact is made obliquely at an angle of 40 ° or less. “Wedge effect” (If the user polishes with a force of 1 in the lateral direction, When the angle is 40 °, the ratio of the horizontal direction to the vertical direction is about 1: 1.19 (the vertical force increases by about 19%). Effect ”, and when the angle is 35 °, the ratio of the horizontal direction to the vertical direction is about 1: 1.43 (the vertical force increases by about 43%), and the force to remove the dirt between the teeth acts. "Wedge effect", and if it is 30 °, it is about 1: 1.73 (about 73% increase). If the angle is 45 ° which is close to the official gazette, the force is not amplified and there is no “wedge effect” (in other words, if the angle is less than 40 °, the force in the vertical direction increases and is amplified). This is because scraping is achieved.

またブラシ束(21)が、図4及び図5に示す様に、その束幅wの1/2(半分)以上で40°以下の横傾斜長さy(握り本体(1)から直角の方向のブラシ束(21)の傾斜長さ)を有して先端部(2)に設けられているから従来のものであればブラシ束(21)の束幅wの範囲の接触であるのに、本発明においては握り本体(1)をことさら上または下に位置してブラシングしなくても歯を磨くつもりで横方向往復するブラシングをすれば横傾斜したブラシ束(21)は自然に歯のつけ根(歯と歯肉の境界部分)にも接触することになる。
その結果として歯のつけ根(歯と歯肉の境界部分)が確実にブラシングされてその汚れが落ちることになる。
この歯のつけ根に接触することに関しては、横傾斜長さyを束幅w以上(1/2でなく)にすることが望ましい。
次の効果として、ブラシ束(21)が握り本体(1)から横方向に傾斜し直線的ではないため握り本体(1)からの力がそのまま伝わらず、何故ならブラシ束(21)は横方向突出しているから横方向にも同時に接触し直線的な従来のブラシ束(図示せず)における様な狭い範囲への力の集中が起こらず緩和され、その結果ブラシングの際に歯肉に大きな力がかからず歯肉に損傷を与えることが防止される。
Also, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the brush bundle (21) has a laterally inclined length y (in a direction perpendicular to the grip body (1)) of ½ (half) or more and 40 ° or less of the bundle width w. The brush bundle (21) has a slanted length) and is provided at the tip (2), so if it is a conventional one, it is in the range of the bundle width w of the brush bundle (21). In the present invention, if the brush body (21) is moved back and forth in the lateral direction with the intention of brushing the teeth without brushing the grip body (1) further above or below, the horizontally inclined brush bundle (21) is naturally rooted. It will also come into contact with (the boundary between teeth and gums).
As a result, the root of the teeth (the boundary between the teeth and gums) is reliably brushed and the dirt is removed.
Regarding contact with the root of the teeth, it is desirable that the laterally inclined length y is not less than the bundle width w (not 1/2).
As a next effect, since the brush bundle (21) is inclined in the lateral direction from the grip body (1) and is not linear, the force from the grip body (1) is not transmitted as it is, and the brush bundle (21) is in the lateral direction. Since it protrudes, it is also contacted in the lateral direction at the same time, and the concentration of force in a narrow area as in the conventional linear brush bundle (not shown) does not occur, and it is relaxed, so that a large force is applied to the gingiva during brushing This will prevent damage to the gums.

図3は本発明の他の実施例であり、該歯ブラシはブラシ束(21)が図1に示したものと傾斜方向について握り本体が上下として正面の該ブラシ束を左右逆のほぼ同じ傾斜にしたものであり、すなわち図3は背面図であるからブラシ束(21)は図の背面にあり図1とは対称になる。
図1の歯ブラシと図3の歯ブラシは1対で使用することが望ましい、何故なら図1の方向の傾斜で接触する歯列の部分(歯列の表裏と上下の部分のことである)と図3のそれとは各々逆になるためである。
さらに1対で使用すれば、ブラシ束(21)が当たる部分が多くなり当たる角度と力が図1と図3のものでは変化するし、しかも歯磨き時間も自然に長くなるという重要な効果もある。
また歯ブラシのカラーについて図1と図3を異なる2色(例えば赤と白)にしてセット販売すれば、製造販売者側にとっては販売額が増えるし、また使用者側にとっては2種類の歯ブラシを楽しく使用しながら十分な歯磨き習慣がつき、特に子供に歯磨き習慣がつく。
さらに図3の歯ブラシは図1の歯ブラシとその握り本体(1)を共通にしてもよく、すなわち先端部(2)を握り本体(1)に対して着脱可能、すなわち着脱で傾斜して装着可能、にして横方向の傾斜方向が逆の1対のブラシ束(21)を用意し、いずれかを握り本体(1)に装着して使用すればよい。
また横方向の傾斜方向が逆の1対のブラシ束(21)に追加して、種々の形状のブラシ束(21)も複数用意してそれらを着脱可能にしてもよい。
また先端部(2)を握り本体(1)に対して左右に折り曲げ固定可能な、例えば折り曲げ状態を公知文献である実開平5−95327、実開昭63−13025に開示された方法等で固定可能にすればよい、蛇腹接合、左右に折り曲げ固定可能な回動接合等で左右に折り曲げ固定可能、すなわち折り曲げ状態が固定可能、にすれば複数のブラシ束(21)を用意しなくてもよい。
着脱可能な場合も折り曲げ状態が固定可能な場合も、いずれも構造的にブラシ束(21)の左右の傾斜がブラシング時に固定されることになる。
FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the toothbrush has a brush bundle (21) which is tilted in the same direction as that shown in FIG. That is, since FIG. 3 is a rear view, the brush bundle (21) is on the rear side of the figure and is symmetrical to FIG.
The toothbrush of FIG. 1 and the toothbrush of FIG. 3 are preferably used in a pair, because the parts of the dentition that contact with the inclination in the direction of FIG. This is because it is opposite to that of 3.
Further, when used in a pair, the portion of the brush bundle (21) hits more and the angle and force of hitting change in the case of FIGS. 1 and 3, and the tooth brushing time also naturally increases. .
If the color of the toothbrush is sold as a set of two different colors (for example, red and white) in FIGS. 1 and 3, the sales amount will increase for the manufacturer and the user will have two types of toothbrushes. While using it happily, it has enough toothpaste habits, especially for children.
Furthermore, the toothbrush of FIG. 3 may share the toothbrush of FIG. 1 and its grip body (1), that is, the tip (2) can be attached to and detached from the grip body (1), that is, can be attached by tilting. Then, a pair of brush bundles (21) whose lateral inclination directions are reversed may be prepared, and one of them may be used by attaching it to the main body (1).
Further, in addition to the pair of brush bundles (21) whose lateral inclination directions are reversed, a plurality of brush bundles (21) of various shapes may be prepared and detachable.
Further, the front end (2) can be gripped and fixed to the main body (1) from side to side. For example, the bent state is fixed by a method disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication Nos. 5-95327 and 63-13025. As long as it is possible, a plurality of brush bundles (21) need not be prepared if it can be bent and fixed to the left and right by bellows bonding, turning bonding that can be bent and fixed to the left and right, that is, the bent state can be fixed. .
In both cases, the left and right inclinations of the brush bundle (21) are structurally fixed at the time of brushing, both in the case of being detachable and in the case of being able to fix the bent state.

次に本発明の「握り本体の前記細い断面を同じ断面のまま先端方向に延長したと仮定すればその延長された断面がブラシ束の正面からの投影の端部に交わる様にブラシ束は横方向突出を抑えられて配置され」との構成について図6及び図7に基づき説明する。
すなわちこの構成によって次の2つの効果が発揮される:
(1)ブラシ束の横方向突出が抑えられて口内で横方向に嵩張らずに歯磨き可能になる。
何故なら図6に示す通りブラシ束(21)の横方向突出は延長された断面がブラシ束(21)の正面からの投影の端部に交わるからその分だけ突出長さが少なくなっているからである。
(2)ブラシング時に握り本体から捩じり力の負担を受けることなく使用者が歯磨きできる。
何故なら図7に示す様にそもそもブラシ束(21)を歯に当てて磨く際にはブラシ束(21)は力を受けるが、握り本体(1)の細い断面の接続部分の延長の左のブラシ(ブラシ束を構成するブラシ)にも力が作用すると共に右のブラシ(ブラシ束を構成するブラシ)にも力が作用するからそれらの力による回転モーメントはブラシ束(21)の全面が歯に当たっている限り相殺されてゼロになるからである。
ここで握り本体(1)の細い断面の接続部分の回転モーメントがゼロになるここと握り本体(1)から捩じり力の負担を受けないことの関連を説明しておく。
すなわちブラシング時に使用者が握り本体(1)の基部を持つ場合には幅の長い横幅方向を指で掴むよりも幅の短い厚さ方向を指で掴むことが自然であり多いが、その場合には前記細い断面の接続部分の握り本体(1)の基部方向への延長部分(つまり中心部分または真ん中部分ということである)を指で挟んで握り本体(1)の基部を掴むことになるから握り本体(1)の細い断面の接続部分での回転モーメントがゼロになることは使用者が握り本体(1)から捩じり力の負担を受けないことに概ね相当するのである。
Next, according to the present invention, if it is assumed that the narrow cross section of the grip body is extended in the tip direction with the same cross section, the brush bundle is laterally crossed so that the extended cross section intersects the end of the projection from the front of the brush bundle. The configuration of “arranged with suppressed directional protrusion” will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
That is, this configuration provides the following two effects:
(1) The protrusion of the brush bundle in the lateral direction is suppressed, and tooth brushing is possible without being bulky in the lateral direction in the mouth.
This is because, as shown in FIG. 6, the lateral protrusion of the brush bundle (21) has an extended cross section that intersects the projection end from the front of the brush bundle (21), so that the protrusion length is reduced accordingly. It is.
(2) The user can brush his / her teeth without receiving a torsional load from the gripping body during brushing.
This is because, as shown in FIG. 7, when the brush bundle (21) is applied to the teeth and polished, the brush bundle (21) is subjected to force, but the left side of the extension of the connecting portion of the narrow cross section of the grip body (1). Since the force acts on the brush (the brush constituting the brush bundle) and the force acts on the right brush (the brush constituting the brush bundle), the rotational moment due to the force is applied to the entire surface of the brush bundle (21). This is because as long as it hits, it will be offset and become zero.
Here, the relation between the fact that the rotational moment of the connecting portion of the thin cross section of the grip body (1) becomes zero and the absence of a torsional force from the grip body (1) will be described.
In other words, if the user has a gripping body (1) base at the time of brushing, it is natural that it is natural to grab the width direction with a finger shorter than the width direction with a finger. Is because the grip part of the grip body (1) is gripped by holding the connecting part of the thin section in the base direction of the grip body (1) (that is, the center part or the middle part) with fingers. The fact that the rotational moment at the connecting portion of the narrow cross section of the grip body (1) becomes zero generally corresponds to the fact that the user is not subjected to the torsional force from the grip body (1).

図9は本発明の他の歯ブラシを示し、該歯ブラシは図1及び図2のものと異なり2つのブラシ束(22)及びブラシ束(23)を有する。
一方のブラシ束(22)は図1及び図2のブラシ束(21)と同様に束幅及び長さで先端部(2)に束状に固定されたものであり、他方のブラシ束(23)はブラシ束(22)より先端側に細く突出して固定されたものである。
このブラシ束(23)の主たる作用は歯と歯の間に付着した細菌の塊り等の汚れを落とすことであり、すなわち使用者が歯ブラシを上下方向にブラシングすることによりブラシ束(23)は歯と歯の間に入り込んで(歯と歯の間は狭くやや深いため図2のブラシ束(21)や図9のブラシ束(22)が入り込めない場合でも入り込んで)、その汚れを落とすことになる。
図2及び図9の歯ブラシの左右上下の歯磨き方向による効果は従来の歯ブラシと比較して次の通り:

Figure 0005252330
以上の効果を有する。FIG. 9 shows another toothbrush of the present invention, which has two brush bundles (22) and brush bundles (23) unlike those of FIGS.
One brush bundle (22) has a bundle width and length fixed to the tip (2) like the brush bundle (21) of FIGS. 1 and 2, and the other brush bundle (23). ) Is projected and fixed to the tip side from the brush bundle (22).
The main action of the brush bundle (23) is to remove dirt such as lump of bacteria adhering between the teeth, that is, the brush bundle (23) is brushed by the user brushing the toothbrush up and down. Enter between the teeth (even if the brush bundle (21) in FIG. 2 or the brush bundle (22) in FIG. 9 cannot enter because the gap between the teeth is narrow and slightly deep), remove the dirt. It will be.
The effect of the toothbrushing directions on the left, right, top and bottom of the toothbrushes of FIGS. 2 and 9 is as follows compared to the conventional toothbrush:
Figure 0005252330
It has the above effects.

1.本発明の歯磨き方法及びそれに用いる歯ブラシは、特にブラシ束をその束幅の1/2(半分)以上で40°以下に握り本体から横方向に傾斜して該握り本体の先端部に設け、該ブラシ束が横方向に傾斜した状態でブラシ束の左右の傾斜がブラシング時に固定されて左右方向に握り本体のみを持ってブラシングするため、歯と歯の隙間はブラシ束に接触する瞬間と非接触の瞬間を交互に繰り返し、しかも40°以下の斜めに接触していくことになり歯と歯の間の残った食べ物の細粒及び付着した汚れが『くさび効果』で削ぎ落とされる。
2.本発明の歯磨き方法及びそれに用いる歯ブラシは、特にブラシ束をその束幅の1/2(半分)以上で40°以下に握り本体から横方向に傾斜して該握り本体の先端部に設け、該ブラシ束が横方向に傾斜した状態でブラシ束の左右の傾斜がブラシング時に固定されて左右方向に握り本体のみを持ってブラシングするため、ブラシ束は横方向突出しているから横方向にも同時に接触し直線的な従来のブラシ束(図示せず)における様な狭い範囲への力の集中が起こらず緩和され、その結果ブラシングの際に歯肉に大きな力がかからず歯肉に損傷を与えることが防止される。
3.本発明の歯磨き方法及びそれに用いる歯ブラシは、特に握り本体の細い断面を同じ断面のまま先端方向に延長したと仮定すればその延長された断面がブラシ束の正面からの投影の端部に交わる様にブラシ束は横方向突出を抑えられて配置されるため、ブラシ束は口内で横方向に嵩張らずに歯磨き可能になる。
4.本発明の歯磨き方法及びそれに用いる歯ブラシは、特に握り本体の細い断面を同じ断面のまま先端方向に延長したと仮定すればその延長された断面がブラシ束の正面からの投影の端部に交わる様にブラシ束は横方向突出を抑えられて配置されるため、握り本体の細い断面の接続部分の延長の左のブラシにも力が作用すると共に右のブラシにも力が作用するからそれらの力による回転モーメントはブラシ束の全面が歯に当たっている限り相殺されてゼロになるからブラシング時に握り本体から捩じり力の負担を受けることなく使用者が歯磨きできる。
5.本発明の歯磨き方法及びそれに用いる歯ブラシは、特に握り本体の傾斜しない状態の接続部分は握り本体の基部より細い断面にされると共にブラシ束の長さを束幅の2倍以上にするため、ブラシ束の横方向突出の長さ(図6の長さK)が嵩張らないが必要なだけ確保されることになり傾斜したブラシ束を左右方向に動かすだけで歯との上下方向の接触幅を一度のブラシングで十分確保でき本発明の歯磨き方法の実用化が可能になった。
The embodiments of the tooth brushing method of the present invention and the toothbrush used therefor are as described above, and the effects thereof will be listed below.
1. The toothbrushing method of the present invention and the toothbrush used therefor, in particular, the brush bundle is provided at the distal end of the grip body by tilting it laterally from the grip body at ½ (half) or more and 40 ° or less of the bundle width, When the brush bundle is tilted horizontally, the right and left slopes of the brush bundle are fixed during brushing, and the brush is brushed by holding only the body in the left and right direction. The moments of the above are repeated alternately, and the contact is made at an angle of 40 ° or less, so that the fine grains of food remaining between the teeth and the attached dirt are scraped off by the “wedge effect”.
2. The toothbrushing method of the present invention and the toothbrush used therefor, in particular, the brush bundle is provided at the distal end of the grip body by tilting it laterally from the grip body at ½ (half) or more and 40 ° or less of the bundle width, With the brush bundle tilted in the horizontal direction, the right and left slopes of the brush bundle are fixed during brushing, and the brush bundle protrudes in the horizontal direction because the brush bundle protrudes in the horizontal direction. However, the concentration of force in a narrow area, such as in a conventional brush bundle (not shown), which is linear, is mitigated without causing a large force on the gingiva, resulting in damage to the gingiva during brushing. Is prevented.
3. The toothbrushing method of the present invention and the toothbrush used therefor, in particular, assuming that the narrow cross section of the grip body is extended in the tip direction while maintaining the same cross section, the extended cross section intersects the end of the projection from the front of the brush bundle. In addition, since the brush bundle is arranged with restrained lateral protrusion, the brush bundle can be brushed without being bulky in the lateral direction in the mouth.
4). The toothbrushing method of the present invention and the toothbrush used therefor, in particular, assuming that the narrow cross section of the grip body is extended in the tip direction while maintaining the same cross section, the extended cross section intersects the end of the projection from the front of the brush bundle. Since the brush bundle is arranged with restrained lateral protrusion, the force also acts on the left brush of the extension of the connection part of the thin cross section of the grip body and the force also acts on the right brush. As long as the entire surface of the brush bundle is in contact with the teeth, the rotational moment is canceled and becomes zero, so that the user can brush his / her teeth without receiving a torsional force from the gripping body during brushing.
5. The toothbrushing method of the present invention and the toothbrush used therefor, in particular, the connecting portion of the grip body which is not inclined has a narrower cross section than the base portion of the grip body, and the length of the brush bundle is more than twice the bundle width. Although the length of the bundle protruding in the lateral direction (length K in FIG. 6) is not bulky, it is ensured as much as necessary, and the contact width in the vertical direction with the tooth is once increased by moving the inclined brush bundle in the horizontal direction. Thus, the brushing method of the present invention can be put to practical use.
