Abstract: A device for massaging gums having a handle portion arranged for manually manipulating the device in order to impart a swivel-like movement to a gum massaging element that is mounted on the handle portion and configured for insertion between adjacent teeth of a user of the device. A universal joint coupling structure interconnects the handle and the massaging element to allow a free changing of the angular relationship therebetween to provide the swivel-like movement of the gum massaging element.
Abstract: Apparatus (10) for massaging gums has a handle portion (12, 12') arranged for manipulating the apparatus (10) in order to impart an undulating motion to a substantially rigid massaging portion (14) arranged for insertion between adjacent teeth of a user of the apparatus. A coupling (16) connected to the handle portion (12, 12') and the massaging portion (16) articulate same to one another and permits the aforementioned undulating motion which causes a vibrating effect against the gum. The coupling preferably is in the form of a universal joint (42) in order to enhance the aforementioned undulating motion.
