Embodiment Construction

[0076] In the following, the same reference symbols are used for identical or similar components in order to avoid repetition. The views in this respect are purely illustrative and not shown to scale.

[0077] The electric device 1 has a thermoplastic tubular housing part 45, the longitudinal axis 49 of which is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal when the device 1 is installed, as figure 1 , 3 , 5 and 6. The housing part 45 has an upper opening 46 and a lower opening 60 . The upper opening 46 is closed by the cap 4 and the lower opening 60 is closed by the housing bottom 6 . The lower section 51 of the support structure 3 is accommodated in the housing part 45, the support structure figure 1 Part of the illustration is pulled out from the housing member 45. The lower section 51 extends in the longitudinal direction of the housing part 45 and merges substantially at the outlet of the upper housing edge 10 into the upper section 52 bent relative to the longitudin...

Abstract

The invention relates to an electric device (1) for interdental cleaning and for treating teeth and gingivae comprising a casing (2) containing an eccentric mass (23) which is driven by an electric motor (22) and whose vibrations are transmitted to a tool holding fixture (5). A coupling area (A, B) for the tool holding fixture is connectable to a coupling area (34, 38) of a mouth cavity treating tool such as an interdental cleaner (31), a dental floss holder (37), friction and polishing discs, etc by means of connecting means. According to said invention, the tool holding fixture (5) consists of a pivot-shaped segment (48) and a coupling area (B) formed on the free front end face (61) of said segment, wherein said coupling area (B) is embodied in the form of a polygonal, preferably rectangular, reception orifice (26) in which the coupling area (34) of the tool (31) can be formed by plastic deformation. A toothpick (31) and a dental floss holder (37) are also disclosed. Said invention makes it possible to carry out a particularly soft interdental cleaning.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electric device for cleaning interdental spaces and for treating teeth or gums according to the preamble of claim 1 . The invention also relates to a tool which can be easily mounted on an electric device for this purpose. Background technique [0002] The proposed electric device for treating teeth or gums is known from US 5,839,895. The device has a vibrator and a rod, wherein the end of the rod is coupled to the vibrator. The vibratory movement is transmitted via the rod to the tip mounted at the free end of the rod. The device is used for vibration massage for better treatment of oral tissues. In addition, there are also applications for administration of oral tissues by means of corresponding devices. Furthermore, treatments using devices for filling treated cavities, cemented inlays or onlays and other conditions are exemplified herein. US 5,839,895 describes the device mainly for use in a dentist's office, but do...
