Description

Teether Soft Ball Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of gutta-percha, and in particular relates to a gutta-percha soft ball. Background Art

[0002] During the growth phase of their baby teeth, infants and young children often chew on toys or fingers to relieve gum discomfort. This is not only unhygienic but also detrimental to the normal growth and development of their baby teeth. Therefore, teething gels have been developed. Most of these are made of plastic or ordinary rubber and are suitable for infants and young children to use for grinding their teeth during the teething period.

[0003] However, existing teethers are mostly in the shape of animals or fruits, and are hard in texture, making it difficult for infants to hold them. In addition, infants have limited hand strength, so the teethers are easily dropped when they are grinding their teeth. In addition, the structure of existing teethers is relatively simple, and infants lose interest in using them after a period of time, which affects the teething effect of the teethers.

[0040] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-13.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1, a kind of gutta-percha soft ball provided for the embodiment of the present application comprises: a fixing part 1 and a gutta-percha part 2, the gutta-percha part 2 comprises three gutta-percha ring groups, each gutta-percha ring group comprises two gutta-percha rings 21, and the planes where the two gutta-percha rings 21 in the same gutta-percha ring group are located are coplanar, that is, the two gutta-percha rings 21 in the same gutta-percha ring group are located in the same plane. Each gutta-percha ring 21 is radially connected to the periphery of the fixing part 1, and the two gutta-percha rings 21 in the same gutta-percha ring group are respectively located on both sides of the fixing part 1; the plane where each gutta-percha ring group is located passes through the center of the fixing part 1, and the planes where any two gutta-percha ring groups are located are perpendicular to each other. This structure is convenient for infants and young children to bite the gutta-percha rings 21, and is convenient for the hands to hold the gutta-percha rings 21, thereby ensuring the stability of the gutta-percha soft ball when used.

[0042] The three teether ring groups are arranged in a three-dimensional manner perpendicular to each other, which makes it convenient for infants and young children to bite the teether rings 21 and avoids the problem of mutual influence between biting the teether rings 21 and holding the teether rings 21.

[0043] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the fixing portion 1 of the present application includes a cube 11 and six arc-shaped protrusions 12. The center of the fixing portion 1 is the center of the cube 11, that is, the center of the fixing portion 1 is concentric with the center of the cube 11. The six arc-shaped protrusions 12 respectively cover the six surfaces of the cube 11, and each arc-shaped protrusion 12 extends in a direction away from the surface of the cube 11 it covers. Specifically, one arc-shaped protrusion 12 corresponds to one surface of the cube 11. As shown in Figure 2, one surface of the cube 11 is covered with one arc-shaped protrusion 12.

[0044] The central axis of each arc-shaped protrusion 12 passes through the center of the cube 11 and is perpendicular to the surface of the cube 11 covered by the corresponding arc-shaped protrusion 12. Specifically, the arc-shaped protrusion 12 can be a symmetrical arc-shaped protrusion.

[0045] The plane where each gutta-percha ring group of the present application is located is coplanar with the symmetry plane perpendicular to the edge of the cube 11. Specifically, the plane where the gutta-percha ring group is located corresponds one-to-one with the symmetry plane perpendicular to the edge of the cube 11, that is, the plane where one gutta-percha ring group is located is coplanar with a symmetry plane perpendicular to the edge of the cube 11.

[0046] There are nine planes of symmetry on a cube, all of which pass through its center. There are six planes of symmetry that pass through the diagonals of its surface, and three planes of symmetry that run perpendicular to its edges.

[0047] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the AA section of the fixing portion 1 is a symmetrical plane perpendicular to the edges of the cube 11. As shown in Figure 3, the portion of the fixing portion 1 that overlaps with the plane where each gutta-percha ring group is located forms a fixing surface 13, that is, the portion of the fixing portion 1 that overlaps with the plane where the first gutta-percha ring group is located forms a fixing surface 13, the portion of the fixing portion 1 that overlaps with the plane where the second gutta-percha ring group is located forms a fixing surface 13, and the portion of the fixing portion 1 that overlaps with the plane where the third gutta-percha ring group is located forms a fixing surface 13. The fixing portion 1 includes three fixing surfaces 13 in total, that is, the three fixing surfaces 13 correspond to the three gutta-percha ring groups respectively.

[0048] As shown in Figures 4-6, the two opposite arc-shaped protrusions 12 on each fixing surface 13 of the present application are respectively provided with through holes 3 passing through the fixing part 1. The two through holes 3 are parallel to the corresponding surfaces of the cube 11, and the through holes 3 located on two adjacent fixing surfaces 13 are perpendicular to each other.

[0049] The edges of the cube 11 in the fixing portion 1 are relatively sharp, which can easily cause harm and discomfort to infants and young children. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the intersections of adjacent arc-shaped protrusions 12 are all arc-shaped transitions. Of course, the fixing portion 1 can also adopt other shapes such as a sphere or an ellipsoid. When the fixing portion 1 is a sphere, the fixing surfaces of the three gutta-percha ring groups all pass through the center of the sphere, and two adjacent fixing surfaces of the three fixing surfaces are perpendicular to each other.

[0050] A connecting column 4 is embedded in each through hole 3 , and two ends of the connecting column 4 are fixedly connected to two ends of the gutta-percha ring 21 .

[0051] As an embodiment, the same side ends of two connecting posts 4 in the same fixing surface are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of a gutta-percha ring 21. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the two ends of one gutta-percha ring 21 in the same gutta-percha ring group are respectively fixedly connected to the left ends of the two connecting posts 4, and the two ends of the other gutta-percha ring 21 are respectively fixedly connected to the right ends of the two connecting posts 4.

[0052] As another embodiment, the two ends of each connecting post 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of a gutta-percha ring 21. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the connection structure between the connecting post 4 and the gutta-percha ring 21 is as follows: a connecting post 4 is embedded in each through hole 3, each connecting post 4 is connected to a gutta-percha ring 21, and the two ends of the connecting post 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the gutta-percha ring 21; that is, in a gutta-percha ring group, the two ends of one connecting post 4 are connected to the two ends of one gutta-percha ring 21, and the two ends of another connecting post 4 are connected to the two ends of another gutta-percha ring 21.

[0053] As an embodiment, the fixing portion 1 does not have a through hole 3 , but is provided with a conical boss 5 , and the gutta-percha ring 21 is connected to the conical boss 5 .

[0054] As shown in Figures 10-13, in the present application, the part where the fixing portion 1 overlaps with the plane where each gutta-percha ring group is located forms a fixing surface 13; the middle parts of two adjacent arc-shaped protrusions 12 in the same fixing surface 13 are respectively provided with conical bosses 5 extending toward the outside of the fixing portion 1, and the two opposite arc-shaped protrusions 12 are respectively connected to gutta-percha rings 21, and the two ends of each gutta-percha ring 21 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding conical bosses 5.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in Figure 13, the two opposing arcuate protrusions 12 within the fixing surface 13 are arcuate protrusions 12a and 12b, respectively. The tapered bosses 5 corresponding to arcuate protrusions 12a are tapered bosses 5a and 5b, respectively, while the tapered bosses 5 corresponding to arcuate protrusions 12b are tapered bosses 5c and 5d, respectively. The two ends of the gutta-percha ring 21a are fixedly connected to the corresponding tapered bosses 5a and 5b, respectively, while the two ends of the gutta-percha ring 21b are fixedly connected to the corresponding tapered bosses 5c and 5d, respectively.

[0056] By providing the conical boss 5, the contact area between the gutta-percha ring 21 and the fixing portion 1 can be increased, thereby improving the connection strength between the two.

[0057] As shown in FIG7 , optionally, each of the toothpaste rings 21 is a C-shaped ring of the same size and shape, and the cross-section of the toothpaste ring 21 is O-shaped, that is, the cross-section perpendicular to the toothpaste ring 21 is O-shaped, and the diameter of the cross-section of the toothpaste ring 21 tends to decrease from the middle to the ends. This design of the toothpaste ring 21 gradually decreasing in diameter from the middle to the ends along the length direction is more convenient for infants and young children to hold and chew. Infants and young children bite different parts of the toothpaste ring 21 according to the size of their mouths. Infants and young children with large mouths can bite the middle of the toothpaste ring 21, and infants and young children with small mouths can bite the sides of the toothpaste ring 21, thereby improving the adaptability of the toothpaste soft ball.

[0058] In one embodiment, the fixing portion 1 , the gutta-percha portion 2 and the connecting column 4 are all made of silicone rubber and are integrally formed.

[0059] In another embodiment, the fixing portion 1 , the gutta-percha portion 2 and the conical boss 5 are all made of silicone rubber and are integrally formed.

[0060] The food-grade silicone rubber is non-toxic, odorless, and harmless to infants. After use, it can be rinsed in water to ensure the cleanliness of the teether and protect the health of infants. The one-piece design avoids seams at the junction of the fixing part 1 and the teether part 2, thus preventing the seams from accumulating dirt and making it difficult to clean thoroughly. This prevents dirt from entering the infant's mouth and affecting their health. Furthermore, the one-piece design facilitates industrial production, reduces assembly steps, and reduces production costs.

[0061] In one embodiment, the two gutta-percha rings 21 in the same gutta-percha ring set are of the same color, and the two gutta-percha rings in the three gutta-percha ring sets are respectively red, yellow, and blue.

[0062] By setting the three teether ring sets in red, yellow and blue, infants and young children's vision can be enlightened at an early stage to distinguish different colors. At the same time, the bright colors can further stimulate infants and young children's curiosity about the teether balls. Of course, the teether ring sets can also be combined with other colors to enrich the colors of the teether balls.

[0063] Infants and young children can use their teeth to bite any of the toothpaste rings 21 in any toothpaste ring set at will. When biting a toothpaste ring 21, they can use both hands to hold a toothpaste ring set perpendicular to the bitten toothpaste ring 21 to improve the stability of holding the toothpaste soft ball. Of course, they can also hold another toothpaste ring set with one hand.

[0064] The planes where any two teether rings of the soft teether ball are located are perpendicular and spatially distributed, which can prevent infants and young children from biting their hands when biting the teether rings 21. The soft teether ball is easy and stable to hold and is not easy to fall, ensuring the safety of the use of the soft teether ball.

[0065] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
