Background

Dental floss is described as invented in the nineteenth century by the american dentist, rielsberg parly. The advent of dental floss is a new revolution in the way of cleaning teeth, making thousands of people benefit from it. The invention of the dental floss relieves the trouble of dental diseases, keeps periodontal health and also reduces other diseases caused by the dental diseases.

The dental floss is very popular in developed countries and is an indispensable daily necessity for people to travel at home, and the dental floss is used for self-cleaning teeth after meals, so that the dental floss is an indispensable program in daily life like washing hands before meals and rinsing mouths after meals.

For example, a certain brand of microwax floss on the market is 50 meters long, has a special double-fiber structure, is strong in toughness and is not easy to break. The use method of the label in the product description is as follows: 1. first a length of floss approximately 25 cm long is pulled out; 2. winding two to three circles on the first sections of the index fingers of two hands in a line pressing mode at two ends of the line head respectively, wherein the distance between the two index fingers is about 5 cm; 3. the dental floss is straightened by being supported by a thumb or a middle finger, guided to slide into the slit of the teeth along the side surface of the teeth, and simultaneously taken out of the food embedded slag; 4. the floss is applied against the adjacent tooth surfaces of the teeth and is slightly C-shaped to increase the contact area. Then the teeth are gently scraped up, down, left and right to clean the surfaces, the side surfaces and the slits deep in the gum of the teeth; 5. after the adjacent surface of one side of the tooth is scraped, the other side of the same tooth gap is scraped until food embedded slag, dental plaque and soft tartar in the tooth gap are taken out along with the movement of the dental floss; 6. changing a section of clean dental floss, scraping the adjacent surfaces of the whole teeth one by the same method, and rinsing off the scraped food embedded slag, dental plaque and soft tartar. It is seen that flossing is cumbersome and difficult to dexterity using flossing if not done from small uses or after multiple exercises.

To solve this problem, a dental floss bar product has appeared. For example, patent document CN2178102Y discloses a dental floss stick, which is made of plastic material by injection molding at one time, and is characterized in that one end of the dental floss stick is arched, and a section of untwisted dental floss is arranged between two legs of the arch.

The dental floss stick is disposable when in use, can be discarded after use, is very convenient to use, is greatly popular with consumers, and has become a mainstream product in the market. However, this product has the problem that the floss stick body cannot be reused and is relatively expensive. Although there are floss pick rods which can replace dental floss, the design is complex and difficult to industrialize.

The dental floss does not exit the market as a habit or traditional product, and for consumers still liking using the dental floss, the dental floss holder which can solve the using problem of the dental floss and help the consumers to use the dental floss appears. For example, patent document CN1469727A discloses a dental floss holder comprising a handle and a carrier with a base, two legs and a dental floss suspended between the two legs, characterized in that: a cooperating means is arranged between the gripping portion of the cartridge and the mounting portion of the handle for receiving said gripping portion in response to the gripping portion being mounted to the handle and bending the base of the cartridge in the plane of the legs to stress the legs apart from each other and tension the floss.

Patent document CN201015610Y discloses a sanitary flosser. The dental floss tightening mechanism comprises a hollow main shell, two dental floss clamping parts and a floss tightening mechanism, wherein the two floss clamping parts are distributed at the front and the back of one end of the main shell, the floss tightening mechanism is internally provided with a wire leading channel and is characterized in that the floss tightening mechanism is positioned at one side of the two floss clamping parts on the main shell and comprises a second floss tightening rotating shaft arranged on the main shell, and the upper part of the second floss tightening rotating shaft is radially provided with a guide channel.

Also, patent document CN106470638A discloses a dental floss holder comprising a connecting section and at least four floss supporting arms extending from said connecting section, each of the floss supporting arms having a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to or being part of the connecting section and the second end comprising a floss fastening portion for fastening a string of dental floss (a string of dentafloss), wherein the string of dental floss attached to the floss fastening portions of the at least four floss supporting arms may be arranged to constitute edges of a polyhedron. The floss fastening portions are spaced apart such that one or more dental floss may be fastened between at least three of the floss supporting arms prior to use. The string of floss between the two floss support arms has a length that makes it suitable for movement between adjacent teeth. Alternatively, patent document CN1323182A discloses a dental floss carrier having: a handle insertable into a supply spool, a fork with two prongs and between which a dental floss can be tensioned, and at least one holding element for locking the dental floss, characterized in that: the handle is of a generally drop-like configuration and is connected to the yoke by an arm on the top side of which at least one gripping element is mounted.

As can be seen from the above references, existing floss holders or floss carriers are generally relatively complex and, even if industrialized, relatively expensive. Some floss holders, while somewhat convenient for use, are still too complex and leave room for improvement.
