Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Manual toothbrush with interchangeable head composed of a removable toothbrush head holder made of siwak.
[0001] The present invention offers a significant advance in the field of oral care by introducing an innovative toothbrush, the
[0002] The main feature lies in the use of siwak as the primary material for the brush head. This unique approach aims to reconcile
[0003] sustainability, low environmental impact and oral health benefits.
[0004] Traditional toothbrushes pose major challenges in terms of
[0005] durability due to their plastic composition. The solution provided by this invention is based on replacing the toothbrush head with siwak, a natural root known for its cleaning properties.
[0006] exceptional. Thus, not only does the invention contribute to reducing the use of plastic, but several scientific studies have also
[0007] demonstrated the benefits of siwak for oral health. Here
[0008] Some of the advantages confirmed by research: Antibacterial effect: Siwak contains natural compounds such as salvadorin and
[0009] trimethylamine which have antibacterial properties, thus helping to reduce dental plaque and prevent oral infections. Action
[0010] Anti-inflammatory: Studies have shown that regular use of miswak can reduce gum inflammation (gingivitis) due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Reduction of tartar formation: The friction of the miswak fibers against the teeth can help remove food deposits and reduce tartar formation, thus helping to maintain good oral hygiene.
[0011] Dental. Whitening effect: The gentle abrasive action of the siwak can help to
[0012] eliminate surface stains on teeth, which can contribute to a brighter smile radiant. Stimulation of salivation: Chewing or rubbing the siwak in the mouth can stimulate saliva production, which is beneficial for
[0013] hydration of the mouth and neutralization of acids that can cause cavities. These benefits make the siwak a natural and effective alternative to traditional toothbrushes for maintaining good oral health, while also offering an ecological and sustainable alternative.
[0014] The toothbrush head is cleverly designed to be
[0015] replaceable, which extends the life of the resin handle or
[0016] plastic injection. This innovative feature makes it possible to reduce
[0017] considerably reduce the production of plastic waste, thus contributing to a sustainable development perspective.
[0018] Toothbrushes with interchangeable heads already exist on the market
[0019] but these have many drawbacks, including: The head
[0020] interchangeable toothbrushes available on the market represents
[0021] often up to a third, or even half, of the entire brush. This
[0022] approach is hardly ecologically efficient. Toothbrush bristles are generally made from nylon, although polyester options also exist. The poor-quality fastening system compromises the
[0023] durability of the toothbrush, thus reducing its lifespan. Currently, there are no rechargeable manual toothbrushes with a single head available on the market that use siwak as a material.
[0024] Thus, the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks
[0025] Mentioned above by proposing simple, reliable and easy-to-implement solutions.
[0026] According to the main feature of the toothbrush according to the invention, the interchangeable siwak toothbrush head has a round and cylindrical shape without sharp corners or edges, with a wooden core (this is the fibrous and hard central part of the root of the Salvadora Arak tree).
[0027] persica forming the brush part), designed to comfortably fit the teeth during brushing. This head easily inserts into the toothbrush handle thanks to a simple, reliable and robust fastening system.
[0028] To minimize the environmental impact, the interchangeable head is designed to
[0029] compact manner, thus allowing only the siwak part of the brush to be replaced when worn, in accordance with a characteristic
[0030] additional.
[0031] According to another feature, the size of the interchangeable toothbrush head is adapted to allow optimal brushing of the teeth in the mouth. The width and length of the toothbrush head are carefully reduced and contoured to allow easy access to the teeth at the back of the mouth. This ensures thorough cleaning and
[0032] effective, even in hard-to-reach areas, for hygiene
[0033] optimal oral hygiene. The toothbrush head with head
[0034] The interchangeable siwak has a round shape with a diameter of 13 mm and a total height of 11 mm. When the head is mounted on the toothbrush handle, the total height reaches 17 mm.
[0035] Another remarkable feature lies in the ergonomics of the handle,
[0036] meticulously designed to ensure an easy and comfortable grip, promoting effective tooth brushing. With its curved shape and its
[0037] With a reduced profile at the mouth opening compared to a standard toothbrush handle, it offers optimal handling. Thus, the handle of the toothbrush with interchangeable siwak head measures 172 mm in
[0038] total length, providing a convenient brushing experience and
[0039] ergonomic.
[0040] According to another feature, the fastening system is based on a
[0041] Male / female interlocking mechanism combined with a screw. The brush handle is equipped with a thread, also called a "screw thread" or "thread," consisting of helical grooves. This thread allows the toothbrush head to be screwed and unscrewed, thus ensuring a secure and easily interchangeable attachment.
[0042] According to another feature, the toothbrush head fixing system is optimized for efficient industrial production using resin molding technology.
[0043] According to another feature, the toothbrush head is attached to the handle by a simple manual rotation. The user inserts the male part (the interchangeable siwak toothbrush head) into the toothbrush handle (female part) by manually rotating the interchangeable siwak head clockwise. This rotation locks the head securely in place.
[0044] Another essential feature lies in the design of a base at the rear of the head attachment system (the toothbrush handle). This arrangement creates a void that plays a crucial role in limiting bacterial growth. By allowing adequate air circulation and efficient drainage, this void also facilitates the
[0045] deep cleaning of the toothbrush, thus ensuring a
[0046] more hygienic environment for its daily use.
[0047] Other features and advantages of the invention will be highlighted in the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These drawings are provided by way of illustration and are not intended to be limiting.
[0048] Manual toothbrush with interchangeable siwak head: an innovation that redefines the standards of oral hygiene. The optimized shape of the interchangeable toothbrush head marks a significant advancement in this technology. Designed to offer cleaning efficiency
[0049] maximum while guaranteeing unparalleled comfort, this innovation
[0050] revolutionizes the brushing experience. By improving the already
[0051] present on the European and global market for toothbrushes
[0052] manual with nylon bristles, this development aims to provide a
[0053] natural and environmentally friendly alternative for optimal oral hygiene.
[0054] The manual toothbrush with an interchangeable siwak head has another distinctive feature: the interchangeable head is reduced to a round shape, with a diameter of 13 mm and a total height of 15.3 mm. When mounted on the toothbrush, the total height reaches 17 mm at its highest point. This specially shaped head is held in place in the handle by means of a manual screw fastening system. To do this, the user rotates the siwak head clockwise; the male part of the siwak is located on the outer perimeter of the head.
[0055] interchangeable.
[0056] The manual toothbrush with interchangeable head has another
[0057] Distinctive feature: The interchangeable head consists solely of the resin piece surrounding the siwak bristles of the toothbrush. This design allows only the part containing the siwak to be replaced when the bristles are worn, thus reducing the environmental impact associated with
[0058] Complete replacement of the toothbrush. The siwak toothbrush bristles are molded in resin, but only their base is in contact with the resin. The top of the siwak remains intact to a height of 3.5 mm in the interchangeable head. The diameter of the siwak bristles, also called the
[0059] The diameter of the wood core is 10 mm, thus ensuring an efficiency of
[0060] optimal cleaning in the mouth.
[0061] The manual toothbrush with interchangeable siwak head is distinguished by its ingenious fastening system: a set of screw retainers that works on a male / female interlocking principle. To secure the head in place, simply insert it into the handle and turn it clockwise, ensuring a secure and easily interchangeable attachment.
