[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a toothpaste dictionary that helps people acquire knowledge about toothpaste. [Background technology]

[0002] Preventing dental caries (tooth decay) and periodontal disease is important for living a healthy life. For this reason, toothbrushes and toothpastes for effectively cleaning the oral cavity have been developed, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2024-021493 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-033315 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, even with a good toothbrush and toothpaste, it is difficult to prevent the occurrence of dental caries and periodontal disease unless people brush their teeth daily. Therefore, it is necessary to make brushing a habit. However, brushing teeth is inherently troublesome, and there is a problem that it is difficult to make it a habit, especially for children, simply by having parents force them to brush their teeth.

[0005] The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, and aims to provide a toothbrushing dictionary that can encourage people to make toothbrushing a habit and also allows people to acquire knowledge about toothbrushing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] (1) In order to solve the above problem, the toothbrush dictionary of the present invention is a toothbrush dictionary that allows users to acquire knowledge about toothbrushing, and includes toothbrushing knowledge information that explains toothbrushing knowledge, a character card that displays a character associated with the toothbrushing knowledge information, and a character card holder that stores the character card alongside the toothbrushing knowledge information.

[0007] This toothbrushing dictionary not only helps children acquire knowledge about brushing their teeth, but also stimulates their desire to collect character cards. Therefore, by distributing character cards when children brush their teeth, it is possible to encourage them to make brushing their teeth a habit.

[0008] (2) In the above-mentioned toothbrushing dictionary, the toothbrushing knowledge information and the character card holder are collected on one page, the toothbrushing knowledge information is written as explained by the character written on the corresponding character card, and a toothbrushing level card holder may be provided that stores toothbrushing level cards whose toothbrushing level increases by acquiring multiple pieces of toothbrushing knowledge information.

[0009] This toothbrushing dictionary can stimulate the desire to collect toothbrushing level cards in addition to character cards, allowing children to acquire more knowledge about toothbrushing and encouraging them to develop the habit of brushing their teeth.

[0010] (3) In the above-mentioned toothbrushing dictionary, the toothbrushing level card holder may further include a first toothbrushing level card holder that stores the toothbrushing level card for the first toothbrushing level, and a highest toothbrushing level card holder that stores the toothbrushing level card for the highest recorded toothbrushing level.

[0011] According to this toothbrushing dictionary, a card of the initial toothbrushing level can be compared with a card of the highest recorded toothbrushing level, and the improvement of toothbrushing knowledge and the results of forming a toothbrushing habit can be recognized. [Effects of the Invention]

[0012] According to the toothbrush dictionary of the present invention, it is possible to encourage the habit of brushing teeth and to provide a toothbrush dictionary that allows users to acquire knowledge about brushing their teeth. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0014] A toothpaste dictionary according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the appearance of a toothpaste dictionary according to this embodiment. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the page behind the cover of the toothpaste dictionary. FIG. 3 is a plan view of a character card, with (a) to (d) of the same figure each being an example of a character card. FIG. 4 is a plan view of a page of the toothpaste dictionary having a character card holder. FIG. 5 is a plan view of a page having additional toothpaste knowledge information in addition to the character card holder of the toothpaste dictionary. FIG. 6 is a plan view of a page having a toothpaste level card holder.

[0016] The toothbrushing dictionary 1 according to this embodiment includes toothbrushing knowledge information 21 that explains toothbrushing knowledge, a character card 30 on which a character 31 associated with the toothbrushing knowledge information 21 is printed, and a character card holder 23 that stores the character card alongside the toothbrushing knowledge information 21. The toothbrushing dictionary 1 allows users to acquire knowledge about toothbrushing. The toothbrushing dictionary 1 will be described in detail below.

[0017] As shown in Figure 1, Toothpaste Dictionary 1 is a booklet having a plurality of bound sheets of paper 10. There are no particular limitations on the binding method of the sheets of paper 10, and common binding methods such as saddle stitching and perfect binding are acceptable. A title 3 is printed on a cover 2 of Toothpaste Dictionary 1. A message 4 encouraging the user to use Toothpaste Dictionary 1, the name of the publisher 5, etc. may also be printed on the cover 2.

[0018] As shown in Figure 2, page 6 on the back side of cover 2 describes how to use 6a of the toothpaste dictionary 1. Page 6 may also have spaces for entering a user's portrait 6b, the user's name 6c, etc.

[0019] 3(a) to 3(c), a character card 30 includes a picture of a character 31, a character name 32, character attributes 33, and a task name 34 or notes 35 associated with the character 31. Below the task name 34 and notes 35, information 36 related to the task or notes is written.

[0020] For example, the character 31 shown in Figures 3(a) and (b) has an attribute 33 of "protection," and the character card 30 has a task name 34 for protecting teeth. Specifically, in Figure 3(a), the character name 32 of the character 31 is "Shiroppa," which comes from "white teeth." The task name 34 is related to the character name 32 and is "Tsurutsuru Sparkling," which symbolizes the removal of stains from teeth by brushing, and "Ikkaisanpun," which indicates the time it takes to brush your teeth.

[0021] In Figure 3(b), the character name 32 of the character 31 is "Flosky," which comes from "I like dental floss." The task name 34 is related to the character name 32 and is "Itoyouji," another name for dental floss, and "flossing," which means cleaning with dental floss.

[0022] A character card 30 with the attribute 33 "protect" can be obtained by a user of the Toothbrush Dictionary 1 if the user understands the toothbrushing knowledge information 21 (described below) written on the card storage page 20 corresponding to the card and is able to perform the task name 34 written on the card.

[0023] On the other hand, the character 31 shown in Figure 3(c) has an attribute 33 of "evil," and the character card 30 has a warning 35 about adverse effects on teeth. Specifically, the character name 32 of the character 31 is "Acid," which comes from "acid," and the warning 35 is "super dissolving liquid" and "hidden dissolving liquid," which refer to the action of acid on teeth.

[0024] A character card 30 with the attribute 33 "evil" can be obtained by a user of the Toothbrush Dictionary 1 if the user understands the toothbrushing knowledge information 21 (described below) written on the card storage page 20 corresponding to the card and also understands the precautions 35 written on the card.

[0025] The pages of the toothbrush dictionary 1 that can accommodate the character cards 30 will now be described. The toothbrush dictionary 1 has a character card accommodation page 20 that can accommodate the character cards 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the character card accommodation page 20 includes toothbrushing knowledge information 21 that explains toothbrushing knowledge, and a character card holder 23 that is provided alongside the toothbrushing knowledge information 21. The character card holder 23 accommodates a character card 30 that corresponds to the toothbrushing knowledge information 21. When the character card 30 is accommodated in the character card 23, the toothbrushing knowledge information 21 is written so that the character explains the information.

[0026] The toothbrushing knowledge information 21 includes, for example, information about how to brush your teeth and when to replace your toothbrush for "Shiroppa" on the character card 30 shown in Figure 3(a), information about the effects of using dental floss for "Flossy" shown in Figure 3(b), and information about a condition called acid erosion, in which teeth are dissolved by acid, for "Acid" shown in Figure 3(c).

[0027] In addition to these, toothbrushing knowledge information 21 for a character with the attribute "protect" may include, for example, information about having an adult perform a final toothbrushing for a character modeled after "finishing teeth brushing," information about the amount of toothpaste to use, etc. Also, toothbrushing knowledge information 21 for a character with the attribute "villain" may include, for example, information about periodontal disease for a character modeled after "periodontal disease."

[0028] Above the toothbrushing knowledge information 21, a character name 22 of a character card 30 stored in a character card holder 23 is written. The character card 30 stored in the character card holder 23 has a character associated with the toothbrushing knowledge information 21 written on it.

[0029] The character card holder 23 can be, for example, a pocket-shaped transparent film attached to the surface of the paper 10, or a holder with corners attached so that the four corners of the character card 30 can be inserted. Alternatively, the paper 10 may have notches so that the four corners can be inserted.

[0030] The character card storage page 20 shown in Fig. 4 has two sets of toothbrushing knowledge information 21, character name 22, and character card holder 23 arranged vertically on one page. The upper character card holder 23 is for storing the "Shiroppa" card shown in Fig. 3(a).

[0031] As shown in FIG. 5, the character card storage page 20 may have only one set of toothbrushing knowledge information 21, character name 22, and character card holder 23 per page, and may also contain other toothbrushing knowledge information 26 that is not directly related to the character card 30.

[0032] The toothbrushing level card and the toothbrushing level card holder 40 that stores the card will now be described. The toothbrushing level card (not shown) is a card on which the toothbrushing level is written. The toothbrushing level increases as the user acquires multiple pieces of toothbrushing knowledge information 21. Specifically, the toothbrushing level increases each time the user acquires a character card 30.

[0033] The first toothbrushing level is, for example, the level reached when the user obtains the first character card 30. The second toothbrushing level is the level reached when the user obtains the second character card 30, and the third and subsequent toothbrushing levels are reached when the user obtains the third or subsequent character card 30. Each time the user reaches a toothbrushing level, the user can obtain a toothbrushing level card corresponding to the toothbrushing level.

[0034] The toothbrushing dictionary 1 has a toothbrushing level card storage page 50 that can store toothbrushing level cards. As shown in Fig. 6, the toothbrushing level card storage page 50 has a toothbrushing level card holder 40. The toothbrushing level card holder 40 can have a configuration similar to that of the character card holder 23.

[0035] In this embodiment, the toothbrushing level card holder 40 comprises a first toothbrushing level card holder 40a that stores the first toothbrushing level card, and a highest toothbrushing level card holder 40b that stores the toothbrushing level card of the highest recorded toothbrushing level achieved up to that point.

[0036] 6, the toothbrush level card storage page 50 may also have a cavity card holder 60. The cavity card holder 60 is for storing a cavity card (not shown) that can be obtained if the user develops a cavity. The toothbrush level card storage page 50 has, adjacent to the cavity card holder 60, instructions 61 that explain what to do when appropriate measures are taken against a cavity. [Industrial Applicability]

[0037] The present invention can be used in a toothpaste dictionary that helps people acquire knowledge about toothpaste. [Explanation of symbols]
