Description

The present invention relates to a U-Shape Toothbrush Head that attaches to most existing electric toothbrushes.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The U-Shape Disposable Toothbrush Head is a new innovational way for individuals to brush their teeth. This unique u-shape toothbrush head with soft bristles can be utilized with most existing electric toothbrushes on the market today. Existing said electric toothbrushes feature a timer, thereby allowing an individual to brush at lease two minutes. U-shape disposable toothbrush head will help promote brushing habits. One advantage is, it enables one to easily brush their teeth. Another advantage is, there's no hand or arm movement while brushing the teeth. Another key advantage is that u-shape disposable toothbrush head can be manufactured in a variety of sizes to accommodate adults, children, people with mobile abilities, and arthritis. Said u-shape disposable toothbrush head thereby, attaches to the embodiment of an existing said electric toothbrush. The transfer motion from the said motor inside the said existing electric toothbrush to the rib racks inside the u-shape disposable toothbrush head will cause the said soft bristles to revolve.

Said u-shape disposable toothbrush head will fit in the individual mouth comfortably covering and cleaning the back and front teeth. The u-shape disposable toothbrush head operates by being mounted onto the said metal stem of the said existing electric toothbrush motor that's inside the neck of the said existing electric toothbrush, wherein the said motor stem of the said existing electric toothbrush will set off a vibration that rattles the tip ends of said rib racks that are inserted in a slot behind the said bristles, wherein causing the said bristles to go into rotation. Place the u-shape disposable toothbrush head all the way into the mouth until the back teeth are covered. Make sure that your teeth are in the trough, and turn on the existing said electric toothbrush handle and let the bristles do the work. The soft bristles will clean between the teeth and removing unwanted plaque, while cleaning both front and back side of the teeth simultaneously. The u-shape of the brush will allow individuals to reach the far back areas of the teeth.

It is known that said existing electric toothbrushes vibration can reach a high frequency, thereby the said vibration should be deterred by an integrated padding to protect the gum and jaws. Said u-shape disposable toothbrush head will do just that. Wherein, said u-shape disposable toothbrush head can be made out of disposable plastic material, and integrated pads to protect the jaw and gums.

Some existing electric toothbrushes use a signal to alert an individual when to change the toothbrush head. But, most toothbrush heads are disposed of after three or six months. Wherein, said u-shape disposable toothbrush head makes it more economical and convenient for people on the go, and should be disposed of within four weeks. The u-shape toothbrush can also, be made non-disposable and lasting for more than three months.

The said u-shape toothbrush head can be made in solid colors or transparent.

Said u-shape toothbrush head soft bristles are gentle on the gums while cleaning the teeth. It is recommended that everyone should brush at lease two minutes each time. Wherein, said u-shape disposable toothbrush head makes it easy for all individuals to brush two minutes each time, especially children and people with disabilities or arthritis. Thereby, helping to promote brushing habits.

The said u-shape disposable toothbrush head , wherein can be mounted onto said existing electric toothbrush motor stem. The said soft bristles are design to clean both side of the teeth simultaneously.

The u-shape disposable toothbrush head operates by being mounted onto the said metal motor stem that's located inside of said existing electric toothbrush, wherein the said motor stem of said existing electric toothbrush vibrates strongly enough to rattle the rib racks tip that is inserted in a slot behind the said soft bristles, thereby, causing the said soft bristle to go into rotation.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Wherein, the present embodiment of the invention will show a new innovational way to clean teeth.

The present invention as shown in FIG. 1 comprises a u-shape disposable toothbrush head 5. Wherein, the u-shape disposable toothbrush head 5 (FIG. 1), comprise of soft bristles 15,20A, B,C (FIG. 1A) which is connected to the enter wall notch 25 (FIG. 1B). Wherein, the said soft bristles 15 (FIG. 1A) will clean between the teeth and remove unwanted plaque while being gentle to the gums. The key advantage to the said u-shape disposable toothbrush head 5 (FIG. 1A) is, there's no hand or arm movement when brushing the teeth. Said u-shape disposable toothbrush head 5 (FIG. 1A) was design to cover and clean both sides of the teeth simultaneously.

The said u-shape disposable toothbrush head 5 (FIG. 1A) operates by placing the base end 50A,50B (FIG. 2A) into the neck of said existing electric toothbrush handle, thereby attaching said base end 50B (FIG. 2C) to the said metal stem inside the said handle of said existing electric toothbrush. Wherein, the rod 55 (FIG. 2D) is inserted into the said mechanism 35B (FIG. 2D). Wherein the said rib racks 60A,60B (FIG. 2D) ends are inserted into slots 35C,35D (FIG. 2D) of the said mechanism 35A (FIG. 2D).

Said rib racks 60A,60B (FIG. 2D) are secured to the bottom of said trough 70 (FIG. 2D) of said u-shape disposable toothbrush head 5 (FIG. 1A) with clamps 65 (FIG. 2D), thereby leaving enough lead way for the said rib racks 60A,60B (FIG. 2D) to move in a desired direction freely when the said existing electric toothbrush handle is turned on. The tips of each rib on said rib racks 60A,60B (FIG. 2D) are inserted into the slots 20D (FIG. 1B,1C) of the said bristles 15,20A,B,C (FIG. 1B,1C), thereby, causing the bristles 15,20A,B,C (FIG.IA) to be set in motion to clean the teeth.

Wherein, the transfer vibration from said motor inside the handle of the said existing electric toothbrush causes the rod 55 (FIG. 2D) to turn, thereby causing the said mechanism 35A (FIG. 2E) to move laterally left to right in a rapid motion, thereby causing the rib racks 60A,60B (FIG. 2D) to move in a direction it is directed. Wherein, the tip of each ribs are, thereby inserted into a slot 20D (FIG. 1B,1C).
