Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zahnbürste mit einer auswechselbaren Borstenplatte nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a toothbrush with an exchangeable bristle plate according to the preamble of claim 1.
Zahnbürsten mit einem wechselbaren Borstenabschnitt werden dem wachsenden Hygiene- und Umweltbewußtsein gerecht. Jährlich werden ungeheure Mengen an Zahnbürsten verbraucht, und zwar mit steigender Tendenz, wobei der Verbraucher alle 2 bis 3 Monate die Zahnbürste wechseln soll. Das ist hygienisch notwendig. Nicht notwendig ist dagegen, die Zahnbürste komplett wegzuwerfen.Toothbrushes with an exchangeable bristle section are growing Hygiene and environmental awareness. Every year there are enormous amounts of Toothbrushes are consumed, and with an increasing tendency, the Consumers should change their toothbrush every 2 to 3 months. It is hygienic necessary. However, it is not necessary to throw the toothbrush away completely.
Abhilfe schaffen hier die sogenannten Wechselkopf-Zahnbürsten, die unter Beibehaltung des Bürstengriffs nur den Borstenkopf ersetzen. Eine derartige Zahnbürste ist bekannt aus G 85 25 867.9, bei der ein Griffteil mit einem Bürstenteil vorgegebener Länge lösbar verbunden ist, damit der gesamte Borstenbereich vollflächig durch ein Verbinderbereich des Griffteils unterstützt ist. Für eine Preßpassung mit nur einer Nut-Federverbindung in Form eines Stiftansatzes ist vorgesehen, daß ein Ansatz am Griffteil hinterschnitten und winkelförmig ausgeführt ist, so daß das Borstenteil mit einem entsprechend passend geformten Ende gegen seitliche Verschiebung und Abheben formschlüssig gesichert gehalten wird. Zum Lösen der Verbindung ist endseitig eine schlitzförmige Ausnehmung eingebracht, in die ein Werkzeug eingeführt werden kann.This is remedied by the so-called interchangeable toothbrushes below Retaining the brush handle only replace the bristle head. Such Toothbrush is known from G 85 25 867.9, in which a handle part with a Brush part of predetermined length is releasably connected, so the entire Bristle area is fully supported by a connector area of the handle part. For a press fit with only one tongue and groove connection in the form of a Pin approach is provided that an undercut on the handle part and is angular, so that the bristle part with a corresponding suitably shaped end against lateral displacement and lifting is positively secured. To end the connection is at the end introduced a slot-shaped recess into which a tool is inserted can be.
Als nachteilig erwiesen hat sich jedoch, daß die Konstruktion zur sicheren Befestigung des Borstenabschnitts zu aufwendig ist, so daß zum Lösen der Verbindung zusätzliche Werkzeuge erforderlich sind oder eingenständige Konstruktionselemente zum Lösen der Verbindung vorgesehen sein müssen.It has proven to be disadvantageous, however, that the construction is safe Attachment of the bristle section is too expensive, so that to solve the Connection additional tools are required or stand alone Construction elements for releasing the connection must be provided.
Aus der DE 44 34 617 A1 ist eine Zahnbürste mit einem auswechselbaren Borsteneinsatz bekannt, der in einer länglichen Halteaussparung eines Kopfteils einrastbar aufgenommen ist. Rastleisten an der Umfangsfläche des Borsteneinsatzes greifen in Rastnuten des Kopfteils. Der Borsteneinsatz verjüngt sich im Grundriß von seinem einen Ende zu seinem anderen Ende und liegt mit glatten, ununterbrochenen Abschnitten seiner Umfangsfläche flächig an glatten, ununterbrochenen Abschnitten der Innenwand an, so daß sich eine Keil- oder Klemmwirkung des Borsteneinsatzes in Längsrichtung ergibt. Bei dieser vorbekannten Zahnbürste wird beim Auswechseln die Borstenplatte durch Druck auf einen Drückerknopf aus der Rastverbindung gedrückt. Das Lösen einer solchen Rastverbindung ist im allgemeinen schwergängig und daher nachteilig in der Handhabung.DE 44 34 617 A1 describes a toothbrush with a replaceable one Bristle insert known in an elongated holding recess of a head part is snapped into place. Snap bars on the peripheral surface of the Bristle insert engage in locking grooves in the head part. The bristle insert tapers in the floor plan from one end to the other end and lies with smooth, uninterrupted sections of its circumferential surface flat on smooth, uninterrupted sections of the inner wall, so that there is a wedge or Longitudinal clamping effect of the bristle insert results. At this Known toothbrush is when replacing the bristle plate by pressure pressed on a push button out of the locking connection. Solving one such latching connection is generally sluggish and therefore disadvantageous in handling.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Zahnbürste mit einer auswechselbaren Borstenplatte zu schaffen, die einerseits eine sichere Befestigung der Borstenplatte an einem Zahnbürstenkörper und andererseits ein einfaches Wechseln der Borstenplatte erlaubt.The object of the invention is therefore a toothbrush with a replaceable Bristle plate to create a secure attachment of the one hand Bristle plate on a toothbrush body and on the other hand a simple one Exchange of the bristle plate allowed.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This task is characterized by the characteristics of the characteristic part of the Claim 1 solved.
Hierdurch wird eine Zahnbürste mit einer auswechselbaren Borstenplatte geschaffen, die eine versatzsichere Verankerung der Borstenplatte auf der Trägerplatte einer ansonsten unveränderten Zahnbürste erlaubt und dabei sehr einfach zu handhaben und zu lösen ist. Es wird nur ein geringfügiger Anteil des Gesamtmaterials der Zahnbürste gewechselt. Die rundkeilförmige Hinterschneidung, in die der Rundkeil der Borstenplatte schließend eingreift, macht jeglichen Versatz nach oben unmöglich. Es ist auch nicht möglich, durch Druck auf die zentrale Verriegelung die Borstenplatte nach oben auszustoßen. In Verbindung mit der längsgeformten Zentralverriegelung wird jegliche seitliche Verschiebbarkeit unterbunden, so daß die Borstenplatte unverrückbar fest verankert ist. Entscheidend ist allerdings, daß diese feste Verankerung einfach lösbar ist durch ein Biegen, wodurch sich die Hinterschneidung öffnet.This will make a toothbrush with a replaceable bristle plate created an offset-safe anchoring of the bristle plate on the Carrier plate of an otherwise unchanged toothbrush allowed and very much is easy to use and to solve. It will only be a minor part of the All toothbrush material changed. The round wedge-shaped undercut, in which the round wedge of the bristle plate engages makes any offset upwards impossible. It is also not possible to press on the central locking mechanism expels the bristle plate upwards. In Connection with the longitudinally shaped central locking system is any side Slidability prevented, so that the bristle plate is immovable is anchored. It is crucial, however, that this firm anchoring is simple can be released by bending, which opens the undercut.
Als vorteilhaft hat sich insoweit erwiesen, wenn die Hinterschneidung von innen nach außen hin sich jeweils verkleinert, um beim Biegen das Lösen des Eingriffs des formangepaßten Endes der Borstenplatte zu begünstigen.It has proven to be advantageous if the undercut from the inside towards the outside it shrinks to loosen the engagement when bending favor the shape-matched end of the bristle plate.
Als Material für den Zahnbürstenkörper wird vorzugsweise Kunststoff, wie Polypropylen (PP), Polyethylenterephthalat (PET) oder Polyethylenterephthalat für Spritzguß geeignet (PETG); verwendet. Dieses Material ist hinreichend flexibel, was für die Wechselfunktion und für den Gebrauch der Zahnbürste vorteilhaft ist.Plastic, such as, is preferably used as the material for the toothbrush body Polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene terephthalate for Suitable for injection molding (PETG); used. This material is sufficiently flexible which is advantageous for the changing function and for the use of the toothbrush.

Anschlag 4 des Zahnbürstenkörpers. Diese Hinterschneidung des
Anschlages 4 ist rundkeilförmig ausgeführt, wobei die Hinterschneidung von innen
nach außen zur randseitigen Begrenzung der Trägerplatte 2 hin sich verkleinert.On the toothbrush neck side, the
Auf die Trägerplatte 2 ist eine in den Fig. 3 bis 5 dargestellte Borstenplatte 6
aufschnappbar. Die Borstenplatte 6 besitzt Abmessungen, die an die Abmessungen
der Trägerplatte 2 angepaßt sind, damit die Borstenplatte vollständig von
der Trägerplatte 2 abgestützt wird. Hierdurch werden auch Kanten vermieden, die
beim Zähneputzen störend sein könnten. Die Borstenplatte 6 weist an ihrer
Unterseite eine vorspringende längsförmige Feder 5 auf (vgl. Fig. 5), die formschlüssig
in die Nut 3 der Trägerplatte einsetzbar ist. Ferner besitzt die Borstenplatte
