  • Patent number: 4457711
    Abstract: The following specification discloses an oral hygienic spraying device. The oral hygienic spraying device comprises a material that can be used for oral hygiene disposed within a pump container or pressurized metal bottle having a spring actuated valve that allows for release of the pressurized hygienic material in the form of a spray or mist. The spray or mist is released when the pump or valve is depressed, through a scrubbing cup. The scrubbing cup has a plurality of radially disposed members within the cup for purposes of abrading and scrubbing residue such as plaque, food materials, and the foreign substances from the teeth and gums of a user. The scrubbing cup can be formed as part of the top or head of the oral spraying device so that it sits over the exit from the valve, or it can be separately attached to a valve connection fixture.

  • Patent number: 4386911
    Abstract: The following disclosure discloses a pressurized irrigating oral scrubber for the removal of bacterial plaque and deleterious residue and food particles on a user's teeth. The irrigator incorporates a pressurized source of fluid, such as a liquid in the form of tap water or a solution of water and oral hygienic material. The source of fluid can be provided by fluid under pressure that has been reduced, such as from a tap, or a pumping unit which pressurizes the fluid for irrigation purposes. The fluid which is pressurized is delivered through a nozzle or opening to the areas to be irrigated in adjacent relationship to a concave scrubbing cup. The scrubbing cup has a concave or depressed area therein with a relieved surface within the cup in the form of ribs or protuberances to allow for a scrubbing function of the teeth in the area between the gums and the teeth as well as the teeth, while at the same time irrigating and rinsing the residue as it is scrubbed and removed by the scrubbing cup.
