  • Patent number: 4434806
    Abstract: A dental floss holder is provided which comprises a flattened, somewhat diamond-shaped resilient plastic body with a pair of laterally opposed spring arms and a central tip terminating in a grooved boss, opposite from a pointed spindle which doubles as a tie-down point for the ends of a length of floss and a toothpick. By inserting floss through an aperture in the spindle and stretching it around the lateral arms and the stem terminus, two taut floss segments are defined which can be used simultaneously if desired on the upper and lower teeth.
