Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an oral care product for cleaning teeth, in particular to a dental floss auxiliary tool, and belongs to the technical field of daily necessities. Background Art

[0002] The advent of dental floss has revolutionized tooth cleaning, benefiting millions of people, eliminating dental problems, maintaining periodontal health, and reducing the risk of other dental-related illnesses. Dental flossing is now ubiquitous in developed countries, an essential part of life at home and abroad. Flossing after meals has become a vital part of daily life, much like washing hands before and rinsing your mouth after a meal.

[0003] I believe that only by improving the usability of dental floss and reducing its cost can it be more widely used. Comparing toothbrushes and toothpicks, toothbrushes are less convenient to use than toothpicks. Toothbrushes are typically used in the bathroom and require running water, while toothpicks can be used anytime, anywhere. You can use a toothpick after every meal, but running to the bathroom every time isn't practical. Brushing once or twice a day at a fixed time is more desirable. Toothpicks are also cheaper to use than toothbrushes. If dental floss could be made as easy to use and as cheap as toothpicks, it would be easier to popularize.

[0004] The following is an analysis of the four common types of dental floss and tools currently available on the market: (1) Boxed dental floss rolls: They are relatively small and easy to carry, and can be put in your pocket for easy use. However, they are expensive per use, difficult to operate, and unhygienic. Each time you use them, you need to pull out about 40 cm of floss and wrap it around your finger, but only about 5 cm is actually used for cleaning teeth. Using your fingers is inconvenient, and you cannot reach some teeth that are farther back. Moreover, you will get saliva on your hands every time you use it, and putting your fingers in your mouth is also unhygienic. This means that they can only be used in the bathroom and cannot be used anytime, anywhere. They are not as convenient as using toothpicks. (2) Disposable dental floss sticks: They are relatively small, easy to carry, simple to operate, and relatively hygienic. However, they are expensive per use, and throwing them away directly after use wastes a lot of plastic and easily pollutes the environment. Because they are disposable, you must bring more when traveling. Carrying too many of them takes up space and loses their compactness. (3) Replaceable disposable dental floss holder handles: Compared with disposable dental floss sticks, this type of floss holder wastes less plastic, but if used in large quantities, it will inevitably pollute the environment. Because of the extra handle, it is not as portable as a disposable dental floss stick. Carrying too much when traveling will also take up space. Because the handle is reused, the part that is placed in the mouth is exposed to the air for a long time and is prone to breeding bacteria, which increases the risk of oral diseases. (4) A dental flosser that only replaces dental floss: This type integrates a dental floss roll, a handle, and a U-shaped (or V-shaped) dental floss holder. The advantage is that it minimizes the cost of use. Only about 5cm of dental floss is used each time, which eliminates plastic waste, is very environmentally friendly, and is relatively easy to operate. However, there are also disadvantages. Generally, the volume will be larger, not as compact as boxed dental floss rolls or disposable dental floss sticks, and the portability will be reduced accordingly. Naturally, few people are willing to carry it with them. In addition, because it is reused, the part that is placed in the mouth is exposed to the air for a long time and is prone to breeding bacteria, which increases the risk of oral diseases. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of prior art by providing a compact, portable, simple to operate, safe, hygienic, low-cost per use dental flossing tool that eliminates unnecessary plastic waste and is environmentally friendly and pollution-free. This tool is compact and portable, small enough to fit in a pocket for use anytime, anywhere, and offers the same ease of use and cost as a toothpick. It is expected to become increasingly popular and help maintain oral health.

[0006] The object of the present invention is achieved as follows: a bottle-type nested dental floss auxiliary tool that is self-sterilized and easy to carry, the tool comprising a first bottle cap (1), a dental floss stick (2), sterilized cotton (3), a dental floss roll (4), a bottle body (5) and a second bottle cap (6), characterized in that the tool is assembled together in a bottle-type nested manner, the first bottle cap (1), the bottle body (5) and the second bottle cap (6) are assembled into a bottle-like shell, and the sterilized cotton (3), the dental floss roll (4) and the dental floss stick (2) are coaxially nested in the bottle-type shell.

[0007] The dental floss stick (2) is characterized in that there are two dental floss sticks (2), one of which is fixed to the first bottle cap (1), and the other is a movable dental floss stick (20). The two dental floss sticks (2) are combined together at the dental floss stick movable axis (21) and can be opened when in use and closed and stored when not in use, like scissors.

[0008] The dental floss stick (2) is characterized in that: the movable dental floss stick (20) is slightly shorter than the fixed dental floss stick at the end close to the first bottle cap (1) to facilitate movement; the two dental floss sticks (2) have the same structure at the end away from the first bottle cap (1), including a dental floss stick knob (23), a dental floss stick knob shaft (24) and a dental floss stick end (25); there is a thread between the dental floss stick knob (23) and the dental floss stick knob shaft (24), which can fix the dental floss like a bolt and a screw.

[0009] The first bottle cap (1) is characterized in that: the first bottle cap (1) comprises an outer bottle cap layer (11) and an inner bottle cap layer (12), the outer bottle cap layer (11) is provided with threads, the inner bottle cap layer (12) is shorter than the outer bottle cap layer (11), and the diameter of the inner bottle cap layer (12) is ensured to limit the distance between the ends (25) of the two dental floss sticks (2) when they are opened at a certain angle, so that the dental floss used each time is not too long.

[0010] The bottle body (5) is characterized in that it comprises two layers, namely, an outer layer (51) and an inner layer (52). The outer layer (51) is provided with threads, the sterilizing cotton (3) can be placed in the inner layer (52), and the dental floss roll (4) can be placed between the outer layer (51) and the inner layer (52).

[0011] The disinfection cotton (3) is characterized by: adding a disinfection function, the material of which is an elastic sponge, which can absorb some disinfectants that are harmless to the human body, such as 75% medical alcohol, or can absorb some essential oils with disinfectant effects, such as tea tree essential oil. Some essential oils can not only disinfect, but also have the effect of protecting the oral cavity, and the disinfectant or essential oil can be dripped into it by itself; there is a through hole on the disinfection cotton (3) to ensure that the dental floss stick (2) can be inserted, and can be tightly fitted with the dental floss stick (2).

[0012] The second bottle cap (6) is characterized in that: it includes a dental floss through hole (61) for conveniently passing dental floss; it includes a cutter (62) for conveniently cutting dental floss; the dental floss through hole (61) and the cutter (62) are on a diameter of the edge circle of the second bottle cap (6); the connection part (63) includes a thread, which can be conveniently combined with the first bottle cap (1) and the bottle body (5) to form a bottle-like shell; it includes a second bottle cap through hole (7) for conveniently passing dental floss sticks, and can block the sterilized cotton (3) and the dental floss roll (4) from coming out of the bottle body, and dental floss can be taken out from here for use.

[0013] The present invention has the following significant features: (1) Because it adopts a coaxial bottle nesting structure, it fully utilizes the space and can limit the diameter of the first bottle cap (1), the second bottle cap (6) and the bottle body (5) to about 2 cm. The overall length of the bottle shell assembled by the three is about 8.5 cm. From the appearance, it is just a small bottle, which is small and beautiful and can be put into a pocket for easy carrying; (2) Each time, you only need to cut about 5 cm of dental floss, rotate the dental floss stick knob (23) to fix the dental floss, and then you can use it. It is simple to operate, has a low cost per use, and does not have excess Plastic waste is avoided, which is environmentally friendly and pollution-free. (3) When not in use, the dental floss stick (2) and the dental floss roll (4) are sealed in the bottle, which is relatively hygienic. In addition, the dental floss stick (3) can be disinfected, which can prevent diseases caused by bacteria from entering the mouth. The disinfection cotton can be used not only with ordinary 75% medical alcohol, but also with essential oils. While disinfecting, it also has a certain protective effect on the oral cavity. (4) Because the scissor-type dental floss stick composed of two dental floss sticks (2) can be opened and moved, unlike the previous fixed U-shaped (or V-shaped) dental floss holder that causes the dental floss to be too tight. Not only does it make full use of space and reduce the volume, but in terms of hand feel, overly tight dental floss will cause discomfort to the teeth, the cleaning surface is small, and it can only clean the gaps between teeth. The dental floss tension of the scissor-type dental floss stick is completely adjusted by the fingers, which makes the teeth feel more comfortable and can be cleaned from multiple angles.

[0014] The technical features of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] The components in the figure are: a first bottle cap (1), an outer layer of the bottle cap (11), an inner layer of the bottle cap (12), a dental floss stick (2), a movable dental floss stick (20), a movable shaft of the dental floss stick (21), a dental floss stick body (22), a dental floss stick knob (23), a dental floss stick knob shaft (24), a dental floss stick end (25), sterile cotton (3), a dental floss roll (4), a bottle body (5), an outer layer of the bottle body (51), an inner layer of the bottle body (52), a second bottle cap (6), a dental floss through hole (61), a cutter (62), a connection (63), and a second bottle cap through hole (7). DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] Example 1: Figure 6 The diagram of the use of dental flossing auxiliary tools is shown. When you want to use dental floss to clean your teeth, open the first bottle cap (1) and take out the dental floss stick (2). Take a section of dental floss about 5 cm long from the through hole (7) of the second bottle cap and cut it with a cutter (62). Open the dental floss stick (2) into a scissor-like shape, wrap the dental floss between the dental floss stick knob (23) and the end of the dental floss stick (25), and tighten the dental floss stick knob (23). When you are finished using it, take out the used dental floss and throw it away, close the dental floss stick (2), and then close the first bottle cap (1). At this time, the dental floss stick (2) is in a sterilized state. You can also replace the dental floss with new one after each use, put it in the sterilized cotton (3), and close the first bottle cap (1). In this way, the dental floss will also be in a sterilized state. When using it, take it out and use it directly, which is clean and hygienic. If you use essential oil for disinfection, the essential oil may also have the effect of removing dental plaque and protecting the oral cavity, killing two birds with one stone.

[0018] Example 2: Figure 1 The diagram shows how to replace the dental floss roll (4) or the disinfectant cotton (3). When the dental floss roll (4) is to be replaced, the second bottle cap (6) is opened, the dental floss roll (4) is placed between the outer layer (51) and the inner layer (52) of the bottle body, the dental floss is passed through the dental floss hole (61), the second bottle cap (6) is closed, and then a section of dental floss is cut with the cutter (62) so that there is always a section of dental floss that can be easily taken at the second bottle cap hole (7). When the disinfectant cotton (3) is to be replaced, the second bottle cap (6) is opened, the disinfectant cotton (3) is placed inside the inner layer (52) of the bottle body, and the second bottle cap (6) is closed. The disinfectant cotton (3) can be replaced, or it can be replaced less frequently by dripping disinfectant or disinfectant essential oil.

[0019] Example 3: Figure 7 The overall appearance when not in use is shown. The dental floss stick (2) is in a sterilized state, with a beautiful appearance and a small size. It looks like a small bottle and can be carried around and used at any time.
