Quick connector for waterpik

Abstract

A quick connector includes a socket including a threaded portion detachably fastenable to a water tap, an opposing free end portion and three inside flanges equiangularly spaced between the threaded portion and the free end portion, and a connection member including a connector body defining an axial through hole in communication with the socket and a fitting defining three insertion grooves for the insertion of the respective inside flanges and three sliding grooves respectively connected to the insertion grooves corresponding to the three inside flanges and disposed adjacent to the position-limit surface for allowing sliding therein of the respective inside flanges. Thus, the user can use to the quick connector to rapidly and detachably connect a waterpik to a water tap in a convenient and hygienic manner, avoiding the problem that waterpik cannot effectively clean tartar due to insufficient water pressure caused by a leakage of water.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a joint, in particular to a quick joint of a dental flosser. Background technique [0002] Food residues left in the mouth and between the teeth can easily cause tooth decay and periodontal disease. Therefore, timely removal of food residues in the mouth is an important measure to prevent oral diseases. There are many types of common oral cleaning aids, such as toothbrush, dental floss or dental flosser. [0003] Known dental flossers have already been widely seen in many patents, typical cases such as the application for "Structure Improvement of Teeth Flosser" in Taiwan Announcement No. 429779; Application; or the application of Taiwan Announcement No. M249623 "Improved Structure of Teeth Flosser", the handles of each of the aforementioned dental flossers are nothing more than integrally formed hollow tubes, and the two ends of the tubes are respectively It is a water inlet and a nozzle, and there is a connected water diver...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] For the convenience of use, the industry has added a switching joint between the faucet and the dental flosser, such as figure 1 As shown, the water inlet end of the dental flosser 1 is screwed with a hose 2, and the other end of the hose is fixedly connected with a switching joint 3, and the switching joint is connected to the water outlet 5 of the faucet 4 in a threaded manner. Therefore, using The user can choose whether the water flowing out of the faucet flows out from the bottom of the switch joint or flows to the dental flosser by turning the switch of the switch joint; Turning it every time will gradually cause slack, which will cause water leakage, which will seriously affect the water pressure at the water outlet of the dental flosser until the water pressure is not enough to effectively clean the tartar, so the entire set of switch joints must be replaced, which is not economical. benefit

In addition, if this type of switching joint is used by different users in turn, for the convenience of the next user, the previous user will usually disassemble the flosser after cleaning the mouth, and only leave the rubber tube for switching. Not only is it inconvenient to use the faucet, but also the rubber hose left on the switching joint is not easy to store, which is not ideal
