[0050] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0051] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the cylindrical dental floss box includes a lower tube 1, an upper cap 2, a top cover 3, a baffle 4, and a coreless dental floss roll 5. The top cover 3 is connected to the top of the lower tube 1. The coreless dental floss roll 5 is placed inside the lower tube 1. The baffle 4 is placed inside the lower tube 1 and is positioned above the coreless dental floss roll 5. The upper cap 2 is fitted over the upper part of the lower tube 1. The dental floss 5-1 of the coreless dental floss roll 5 passes through the baffle 4 and then through the top cover 3.
[0052] refer to Figure 11-15 The lower cylinder 1 has a closed bottom and an open top, and it has an inner cavity.
[0053] refer to Figure 16-19 The top surface of the top cover 3 has a wire through hole 3-3, and a blade is provided on the top surface of the top cover 3. The blade has a wire clamping part 3-1 and a wire cutting part 3-2. The top cover 3 can be made of metal.
[0054] refer to Figure 5 ,7 -11, the top cover 3 is fitted onto the top of the lower cylinder 1, and can be fixed or detachable.
[0055] like Figure 20-23 As shown, the top of the upper cap 2 is closed, and the bottom is open.
[0056] refer to Figure 1 , 2 5, 6, 7, The upper cap 2 is fitted onto the upper part of the lower cylinder 1. The lower cylinder 1 is provided with a limiting platform 1-1. The bottom of the upper cap 2 is in contact with the limiting platform 1-1.
[0057] like Figure 24 As shown, the baffle 4 has a gap 4-1.
[0058] The structure of the coreless dental floss roll 5 can adopt a structure known in the prior art, such as the dental floss roll disclosed in the patent with authorization publication number CN306120125S. The characteristics of the coreless dental floss roll are: the dental floss does not need to be wound on a specific spool, and the dental floss roll remains stationary when the floss is pulled.
[0059] refer to Figure 5 , 7 And 10, the dental floss 5-1 of the coreless dental floss roll 5 passes through the gap 4-1 of the baffle 4, then through the wire through hole 3-3 of the top cover 3, and then leads to the blade.
[0060] When using the cylindrical dental floss box described above, first remove the upper cap 2. Then, refer to... Figure 25 Pinch the dental floss 5-1 with your fingers and pull it around the blade; then pull slightly, and the cutting part 3-2 of the blade will cut the floss, yielding a piece of floss 6 ready for use; the clamping part 3-1 of the blade will then hold the floss 5-1 in place. Figure 7 and 10 As shown, this makes it convenient to use next time; finally, put the upper cap 2 onto the lower cap 1.
[0061] The length of a piece of dental floss to be used (6) can be determined according to actual needs, generally around 20cm.
[0062] The baffle 4 has two main functions. First, it straightens the dental floss. The floss is straightened as it passes through the gap 4-1 and then leads out through the thread hole 3-3. The straightened floss is easy to cut with the blade. Second, when a portion of the coreless dental floss roll 5 is consumed, the remaining part may move upwards during the thread pulling process. If it moves upwards, it will be blocked by the baffle 4.
[0063] It should be noted that setting the baffle 4 is a preferred method, and those skilled in the art will understand that it is also possible not to set the baffle 4.
[0064] As a consumable, the coreless dental floss rolls are used up. After the coreless dental floss rolls in the dental floss box are used up, remove the top cover 3 and put the new coreless dental floss roll into the lower tube 1. It can be seen that replacing the coreless dental floss roll is very convenient and quick.
[0065] The material of the lower cylinder 1 is preferably a biodegradable material, such as paper. The material of the upper cap cylinder 2 is preferably a biodegradable material, such as paper.
[0066] The material of the baffle 4 is preferably a biodegradable material, such as pearl cotton or paper.
[0067] Using biodegradable materials is beneficial to the environment.
[0068] As can be seen, the aforementioned cylindrical dental floss box is small in size, making it easy to carry and store. Its operation and use are also more flexible and convenient.
[0069] After the cap is put on, the protective effect is good, which helps to improve the hygiene of the dental floss storage space and makes the dental floss less likely to be contaminated.
[0070] refer to Figure 26 Further improvements have been made to the coreless dental floss roll 5. At regular intervals (e.g., 35cm), a different color (e.g., blue, red) is used as segment markers, creating multiple color segment markers, such as color segment marker 5-2 and color segment marker 5-3. These color segment markers help users accurately obtain the required length of floss for cleaning their teeth. When obtaining the floss, the user cuts it with a blade at each color segment marker.
[0071] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention. The actual structure is not limited to this. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and, without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, adopt other forms of part configurations, driving devices, and connection methods to create structures and embodiments similar to this technical solution without creative design, all such structures and embodiments should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
