Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION a) ENVIRONMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a one-finger cleaning cap with dental floss, in particular a structure of a cleaning fabric for use in tooth cleaning. b) DESCRIPTION OF THE KNOWN TYPE OF EXECUTION

[0002] General oral hygiene focuses primarily on cleaning the teeth and tongue, as removing food debris and foreign objects is essential for maintaining oral health. The most commonly used cleaning tool is the toothbrush, onto which toothpaste is first applied before cleaning the teeth. Aside from the relative inconvenience of carrying the toothbrush around, the toothpaste must also be used with the toothbrush, which is rather impractical. Therefore, toothpicks and dental floss are more convenient options, with the interdental spaces being cleaned primarily using the tip of the toothpick and the thread of the floss. However, toothpicks and dental floss can only remove food particles and foreign objects from between the teeth; they cannot clean the surfaces of the teeth and tongue.Therefore, the inventor of the present invention proposes to correct and overcome the existing technical disadvantages in order to eliminate the aforementioned disadvantages of the prior art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The main objective of the present invention is to create a one-finger cleaning cap with dental floss comprising a first-contact fabric piece, a second-contact fabric piece, dental floss, several connecting enamel threads, and several securing enamel threads; wherein the main function of the present invention is that the user inserts his index finger into a finger space formed between the first-contact fabric piece and the second-contact fabric piece, after which he simultaneously holds the first long side of the first-contact fabric piece and the second long side of the second-contact fabric piece with his thumb, thereby cleaning the teeth with his index finger by moving the first-contact fabric piece and the second-contact fabric piece.Furthermore, the finger cap allows the first long side of the first contact fabric piece and the second long side of the second contact fabric piece to be opened in order to expose the dental floss inside, thereby releasing one end of the dental floss for cleaning the teeth.

[0004] For a better understanding of the objectives, structure, properties and effects, as well as the technology and methods of the present invention and the effects achieved, the following brief description of the drawings is followed by a detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

[0005] The Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6 and Fig. Figure 7 shows a three-dimensional external view, a three-dimensional exploded view, a perspective view and schematic views of the present invention, from which it is clearly evident that a one-finger cleaning cap with dental floss 1 of the present invention mainly comprises the following components: a first contact fabric piece 2 with a first long side 21, a first curved side 22, a first short side 23 and a first slanted side 24; a second contact fabric piece 3 arranged on one side of the first contact fabric piece 2, with a second long side 31, a second curved side 32, a second short side 33 and a second inclined side 34; a dental floss 4, which is arranged between the first long side 21 of the first contact fabric piece 2 and the second long side 31 of the second contact fabric piece 3; several connecting melt threads 5, which are provided on the first long side 21, the first curved side 22 and the first short side 23, with which the first contact fabric piece 2 and the second contact fabric piece 3 are connected to form a space between them for the fingers 70; and several fastening melt threads 6, which are provided at the two ends of the first long side 21 of the first contact fabric piece 2, with which the two ends of the dental floss 4 are fastened, wherein a holding space 80 is formed between the first long side 21 of the first contact fabric piece 2 and the second long side 31 of the second contact fabric piece 3.

[0006] The dimensions and shape of the first contact fabric piece 2 and the second contact fabric piece 3 are the same.

[0007] The second long side 31, the second curved side 32, the second short side 33 and the second inclined side 34 of the secondary contact fabric piece 3 are arranged accordingly on the first long side 21, the first curved side 22, the first short side 23 and the first inclined side 24 of the primary contact fabric piece 2.

[0008] The multiple connecting melt threads 5 are distributed at equal intervals.

[0009] The use of the one-finger cleaning cap with dental floss 1 of the present invention mainly involves the user inserting their index finger into a space for the fingers 70 between the first-contact fabric piece 2 and the second-contact fabric piece 3, and then simultaneously pressing with their thumb on the first long side 21 of the first-contact fabric piece 2 and the second long side 31 of the second-contact fabric piece 3. Thus, by moving the first-contact fabric piece 2 or the second-contact fabric piece 3 with their index finger, they can continue to clean the surfaces of the teeth or tongue.

[0010] Based on the above explanations, and with reference to the Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. After using the first-contact fabric piece 2 or the second-contact fabric piece 3 to clean the teeth, the first long side 21 of the first-contact fabric piece 2 and the second long side 31 of the second-contact fabric piece 3 are opened with the thumb to expose the dental floss 4 inside and to release one end of the dental floss 4; the other end remains attached by the other securing enamel threads 6. The user can then hold the released end of the dental floss 4 to continue cleaning the teeth.

[0011] Since the teeth can be cleaned with the first-contact fabric piece 2 and the second-contact fabric piece 3, the Fig. 5 the index finger of the right hand of a user who primarily cleans the teeth with the first-contact fabric piece 2, while the Fig.7 shows the index finger of a user's left hand being used to clean the teeth using the secondary contact fabric piece 3. Regardless of whether the index finger of the right or left hand is used, the corresponding thumb of the right or left hand can be used to press on the first long side 21 of the primary contact fabric piece 2 and the second long side 31 of the secondary contact fabric piece 3.

[0012] In summary, compared to the disadvantages of toothpicks and dental floss, the prior art, the design of the first-contact fabric piece 2, the second-contact fabric piece 3, the dental floss 4, the multiple connecting enamel threads 5, and the multiple enamel threads 6 of the present invention enable the user to quickly clean the tooth surfaces and tongue with their index finger and thumb. Furthermore, the design of the dental floss 4 allows for easy cleaning between the teeth.
