Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an oral care implement, in particular to a toothbrush with a cavitation system. People have many types of poor oral health, including tooth decay, periodontal disease, and bad breath (halitosis). Tooth decay and periodontal disease are usually caused by harmful bacteria in the oral cavity. When harmful bacteria mix with proteins present in saliva, a dental plaque film forms on the teeth and soft tissues. If dental plaque is not removed, it can destroy teeth and create cavities. In addition, dental plaque destroys soft tissue inside the mouth and causes gum disease, the main cause of tooth loss in adults. Many people, especially young children, do not brush their teeth regularly or do not clean their interdental spaces. Such features are often characteristic of people who consider brushing their teeth as a routine duty that brings little pleasure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an oral care implement with a vibrating system that can create cavitation in an oral fluid.

In one aspect, an oral care device creates cavitation in the oral cavity. One or more cavitation cleaning elements may be located in the area of the head of the oral care device. The cavitation cleaning element vibrates at a frequency that creates cavitation of fluids in the oral cavity.

In one aspect, an oral care implement includes an oral care area having cleaning elements and an elastomeric cavitation cleaning element; and a housing for gripping the device.

In one aspect, the oral care implement includes an oral care area having cleaning elements and a vibrating cleaning element configured to release the oral care substance from the container by vibration; and a housing for gripping the device. In another aspect, a vibrating cleaning element may be provided as a cavitation cleaning element.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In the following description, the invention is described in relation to a toothbrush (as an example of a type of oral care device), but it can exist in the form of other individual hygiene devices. In addition, it is understood that other embodiments may be used, and structural and functional changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

1-3 illustrate an oral care device generally defined by reference numeral 100. Toothbrush 100 generally includes a head 102 and a handle 103.

The handle 103 is a generally elongated element that is sized so that the user can easily grab and manipulate the toothbrush 100. The handle 103 can be made in the form of many different shapes, different lengths and different designs. In one design, the handle 103 has a tapered portion 105 adjacent to the head 101. The tapered portion 105 may be a tapered area on the handle 103 between the head 101 and that portion of the handle that is normally gripped by the user. However, the tapered portion 101 may be the area between the head 101 and the portion of the handle normally gripped by the user. In another design, the handle 103 is integral with the head 101. Other attachment configurations are also possible.

The head 101 may include an oral care area containing one or more tooth cleaning elements 111. As used herein, the term “tooth cleaning elements” or “cleaning elements” includes any type of structure that is commonly used or suitable for use to ensure oral health benefits (for example, brushing, polishing, teeth whitening, massage, stimulation, etc.) by contacting areas of the teeth and gums. Such toothbrushing elements include, but are not limited to, tufts of bristles that can be made in a variety of different shapes and sizes, and elastomeric brushes that can be made in many different shapes and sizes, or a combination of tufts of bristles and elastomeric cleaning elements.

As shown in FIG. 3, in one design, one or more toothbrushing elements 111 are composed of a plurality of bristles of nylon or other material. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the toothbrushing elements 111 are bristle regions having various shapes, however, it is understood that many different configurations of oral care devices can be used. One or more toothbrushing elements 111 may be attached to the head 101 by known methods, such as inserting into recesses made in the head 101 along the front portion 107 of the toothbrush 100 (FIG. 1).

FIG. 3 illustrates a toothbrush 100 including a head 101 with a cavitation cleaning element 300 surrounded by other tooth cleaning elements 111. A cavitation cleaning element 300 provides one or more benefits for the oral cavity, such as wiping, brushing and massaging the teeth and gums. user. The cavitation element 300 is operatively connected to the motion generating device 305. To create oscillations in a wide frequency range, various motion generating devices can be used. Various types of vibrating devices are available, such as ultrasonic and ultra-ultrasonic transducers. One example of a vibrating device provides frequencies for acoustic cavitation in the range of about 5 to 20 kHz. Vibration frequencies can have various waveforms, including sinusoidal, square, gear, etc. However, other values and waveforms are possible. A vibrating device may be located in the head of the toothbrush. When activated, to create vibrations in the head of the toothbrush, a vibrating device, such as a cavitation cleaning element 300, is driven by a power source and controlled by microelectronics (eg, a control system 600).

In some designs, the cavitation element includes a suitable vibrating material, solid or semi-solid, polymer, protruding approximately through the center of this bundle of bristles, which vibrates at such a frequency as to produce cavitation in the fluids present in the oral cavity. There may be more than one cavitation generator per toothbrush, up to one per beam in a given toothbrush head. As also shown in FIG. 3, the cavitation cleaning element 300 may have a complex structure that includes a rigid vertical portion 303 surrounded by a compressible or soft portion 305. The rigid portion 303 provides axial stiffness and transmits vibrational motion to the soft portion 305. It should be understood that the hard portion 303 may be made of nylon material, such as nylon, sold by Dupont under the name TYNEX. However, other materials may be used.

The cleaning elements 111 and the cavitation cleaning element 300 in the toothbrush 100 may have a circular cross-sectional shape, but may also have other cross-sectional shapes. The round bristles in the toothbrush 100 may be made of nylon material. One example of nylon material is sold by Dupont under the name TYNEX. The diameter of the round bristles may be 0.007 inches to 0.008 inches thick or have a different thickness depending on the desired cleaning action of the bristles. The soft portion of the cavitation cleaning element may be provided with an elastomeric material. In some designs, the elastomeric material may have a hardness in the range of A15 to A35 Shore; A20 to A30 Shore; or from A25 to A28. (why not say A05 to A95 Shore?) One example of an elastomeric material is styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS) manufactured by GLS Corporation. However, SEBS material (why not say thermoplastic elastomeric materials?) Of other manufacturers or other materials having hardness within and outside the mentioned hardness range can be used.

4 and 5, the cavitation cleaning element 300 interacts with toothpaste and water in the area of the cleaning elements 111. It is understood that the interaction of cavitation, dentifrice and water creates a bubble matrix 400. In one aspect, cavitation is created in the liquid from the means for care for the oral cavity and water with ultrasonic waves. As one skilled in the art understands, cavitation bubbles expand and subsequently explode for a very short period of time. A schematic representation of the bubble matrix 400 and the cleaning effect are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. As can be seen, the effect of the bubble generally corresponds to the curvature of the teeth 405, penetrates the interdental spaces 407 and sweeps out plaque and organic residues. The separated tooth plaque and organic residues are removed by the cleaning elements 111 of the head 101. It should also be noted that the complex construction of the cavitation cleaning element 300 provides a dynamic vibrating bending action about its vertical axis, which, in turn, enhances the cleaning effect of the distal tip (for example, an elastomeric cleaning edges) on the surface of the tooth.

The advantage of cavitation in the oral cavity for oral health is to improve the penetration of the active components of the toothpaste in the oral cavity, especially in the interdental spaces, thereby enhancing the destruction of the tooth plaque matrix. In general, the effect of cavitation enhances the destruction of the tooth plaque matrix, which usually occurs when brushing your teeth with a manual toothbrush. In addition to the enhancing cleansing action of cavitation, the user can experience pleasant sensations, such as a cooling or heating effect, gum stimulation, enamel polishing, soft tissue massage, or an overall enhanced cleansing effect on the oral cavity.

In one aspect, the toothbrush 100 has a cavitation effect that provides additional benefits and a therapeutic result, in combination with active ingredients having a special formula, or active ingredients placed in a capsule. In one design, the toothbrush 100 has a cavitation cleaning element 300 having a frequency suitable for activating an oral care substance (eg, toothpaste) to provide oral care benefits. Figures 6 and 7 show that an oral care substance 500 can be enclosed in bursting capsules 502 that store and apply an oral care substance 503 (e.g., an oral care solution or an active substance) when the walls of the capsule (s) are torn in response to the frequency of vibration. Therefore, the capsules 502 may be in the form of a tearing container having brittle, thin walls that are easily torn or broken by the “tearing frequency” of the cavitation cleaning element. In one design, the capsule can be made of gelatin, lactose or zeolite (hydrated aluminosilicate minerals) and with a diameter of 0.10 mm to 2 mm. The breaking frequency may range from 5 kHz to 20 MHz. The materials forming the capsule and the oral or oral care solution contained therein may be consumed by the user of the toothbrush 100.

Capsules 502 may include the active substance 503 inside the capsule. Non-limiting examples of active substances that can be used are antibacterial agents, whitening agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-stick substances, dental plaque indicants, flavorings, perfumes, breath fresheners, gum-strengthening substances and coloring agents . Examples of these substances include substances with metal ions (for example, substances with ions of tin, copper, zinc, silver), triclosan; triclosan monophosphate, chlorhexidine, alexidine, hexetidine, sanguinarine, benzalkonium chloride, salicylanilide, domiphene bromide, cetylpyridinium chloride, tetradecylpyridinium chloride, N-tetradecyl-4-ethylpyridinolipinolidenedinolene, TDNEP, TDL, PDN bacteriocins, flavans, flavonoids, folic acids, vitamins, minerals, hydrogen peroxide, urea peroxide, sodium percarbonate, PVP-H ₂ O ₂ , polymer-bound peroxides, potassium nitrates, occluding substances, bioactive glass, arginine salts, arginine bicarbonate, bacalin, polyphenols, ethyl pyruvate, guanidinoethyl disulfide, anticalculus agents, plaque inhibitors, phosphate salts, polyvinylphosphonic acid, PVM / MA copolymers; enzymes, glucose oxidase, papain, ficin, ethylauroyl arginate, menthol, carvone and anethole, various aromatic aldehydes, esters and alcohols, spearmint oils, peppermint oil, wintergreen oil, sassafras oil, clove oil, sage oil marjoram, cinnamon oil, lemon oil, lime oil, grapefruit oil and / or orange oil.

The active substance may be compatible with toothpaste, or may be unstable and / or reactive with conventional components of toothpaste. The active substance may also be a tooth brushing substance to increase overall brushing performance.

The active substance may be provided in any suitable binder, such as an aqueous solution, or in the form of a gel or paste. The binder may have a different appearance, including a clear solution or gel, or an opaque solution or gel. Non-limiting examples of binders include water, monohydric alcohols such as ethanol, poly (ethylene oxides) such as polyethylene glycols such as PEG 2M, 5M, 7M, 14M, 23M, 45M and 90M, marketed by Union Carbide, carboxymethylene polymers such as Carbopol® 934 and 974 marketed by BF Goodrich, and combinations thereof. The selection of a suitable binder will be apparent to those skilled in the art, depending on factors such as the properties of the active substance and the desired properties of the medium, such as viscosity.

In an alternative construction of the toothbrush 200 shown in FIGS. 8-9, the tooth cleaning elements of the head 201 may include various tooth cleaning elements that can be used to wipe, clean and massage the user's teeth and gums. In the illustrated construction of FIGS. 8-9, toothbrushing elements include distal toothbrushing elements 203a-b located on the distal end 121 of head 201, peripheral toothbrushing elements 205a-l, longitudinal toothbrushing elements 207b-c along longitudinal axis aa, arcuate tooth cleaning elements 209a-d and 211a-b, and proximal cleaning elements 213a, b. Teeth cleaning elements 205, 207, 211 and 213 can be provided in the form of tufts of bristles, while tooth cleaning elements 209 can be made in the form of elastomeric wall segments. However, other forms and types of toothbrushing elements may be used.

In this design, the cavitation element 300 ′ is usually provided in the center of the arcuate design of the tooth-brushing elements near the distal end 121, and the distal tip of the element 300 ′ may be located below the distal ends of the other elements. However, the cavitation element 300 'may be located in other places on the head 201, such as usually in the center of another arcuate design of the tooth-brushing elements. In this alternative design, the generation of cavitation (for example, a bubble matrix) may pass along an isolated path so that bubbles escape at or above the tips of the bristles. Such a structure may be formed from a closed ring of bristles with identical or different bristles in height, inside the inner region forming a nozzle-like structure to facilitate the exit path for cavitation action. Using the example of arched elastomeric wall segments, it is understood that the cavitation action can cause the dynamic vibrating bending action of individual segments relative to their vertical axis, which in turn increases the cleaning effect of the distal tip (e.g., the erasing edge) of segment 209 on the tooth surface. Additionally, the inner space bounded by the arcuate elements 209 forms a nozzle-like structure / configuration 250. The gaps 212 formed between the arcuate segments 209a-d provide a lateral three-dimensional flow of the bubble matrix (for example, simultaneous flows of bubbles / liquid from the sides and vertically) to other areas heads 101 during cleaning to provide enhanced cleaning performance.

It should be noted that the nozzle-like device can be made of tightly packed, elongated tufts of bristles. In addition, instead of the gaps between the elements in other designs, the nozzle configurations may have a fully enclosed sidewall structure. Although the four cleaning elements 209a-d in the form of arcuate segments are shown surrounding each cleaning element 207 as a whole, aspects of the invention may be implemented with more or less arcuate segments. Despite the fact that the arcuate segments form a generally circular structure, the segments can form an ellipse shape, or a rectangular shape, or other shapes in cross section. However, other forms are possible for the formation of a nozzle-like structure of various heights.

1 and 2, the toothbrush 100 includes a front portion 107 and a rear portion 109. The thumb grip portion 115 is provided so that the user can hold the toothbrush 100 while resting the thumb on the grip portion 115. The thumb grip portion 115 may be made of a flexible, shock-absorbing material that is easily compressed when the user clicks on it with the thumb. In one or more of the designs described herein, the thumb grip portion 115 may serve as a drive for controlling the operation of toothbrush elements. For example, the thumb grip portion 115 may serve as a button to switch the device associated with the toothbrush 100 to the “on” position and / or off. For example, the device may be a cavitation generator.

In one design, the thumb grip portion 115 serves as a button that changes the operating mode of the toothbrush 100. Button 115 allows the user to change the operating mode to any of a variety of different actions (for example, high or low frequency vibration mode). For example, a press or other action on the button 115 may change the operating mode to low frequency operation. Subsequent exposure to the button 115 may change the operating mode to a higher frequency operation. Subsequent action on the button 115 can change the operating mode to work only in manual mode. However, this order of switching modes when exposed to the button 115 does not limit the scope of the invention. It should be recognized that the toothbrush 100 may have two or more buttons or drive elements for controlling operation modes.

As described herein with reference to FIG. 10, a control system 600 used in toothbrush designs 100 may be included to control vibration operation. One or more of the components shown in FIG. 10 may be included in one or more printed circuit boards. Possible alternatives include flash memory, flash ROM, battery backup RAM. The control system 600 may include controlling a cavitation generator 602 operably connected to one or more components of the system 600, and a user interface 604, such as a button 115.

The mode selection circuitry 606 may include circuitry, software, computer-readable commands, or other components that allow the toothbrush 100 to change the mode of operation. The mode selection circuitry 606 may be configured to perform signal processing functions (s) that perform computer- readable commands, and reading from memory, and writing to memory (not shown) associated with the toothbrush 100, switching between different modes of operation.

The timer circuit 608 may include hardware, software, computer-readable instructions, or other components to account for providing a countdown in a forward or reverse order. The timer circuit 608 may include a crystal oscillator for counting seconds, minutes, etc. The timer circuit 608 may be configured to perform a signal processing function (s) that execute computer-readable commands, and read from memory and write to memory (not shown) associated with a toothbrush 608 that operates in timer mode for two (2) minutes. In one design, vibration may end after two minutes.

The system control circuit 600 may include hardware, software, computer-readable commands, or other components capable of controlling the cavitation function of the toothbrush. For example, the control system 600 may include programmable memory in which non-volatile data storage can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.

As discussed, aspects of the invention may be practiced for a manual toothbrush or an electric toothbrush with moving tooth cleaning elements. Although the various elements of the toothbrush 100 work together to achieve the previously described advantages, it is understood that only individual features or combinations of these features can be used to obtain some of the above advantages without having to take all these advantages.

Although the invention has been described with reference to specific examples, including the currently preferred methods for carrying out the invention, one skilled in the art will recognize that there are numerous variations and modifications of the systems and methods described above. Thus, the nature and scope of the invention should be considered as broadly as formulated in the attached claims.
