Interdental cleaning tool with triangular shaft and deformable cleaning portion
The patent US12070121B2 describes an interdental cleaning tool designed for effective cleaning between teeth. The tool features a base portion that includes a shaft with a triangular cross-section, which is specifically shaped to fit into interdental spaces. The cleaning portion of the tool is designed to cover at least part of the shaft and is made from a material that is softer and compressively deformable compared to the shaft. This cleaning portion has a circular cross-section and is characterized by a grip portion that allows for easy handling. The grip is designed with dimensions that facilitate a comfortable hold, ensuring that one side of the triangular shaft intersects perpendicularly with the grip's primary direction.
Additionally, the cleaning tool may incorporate a composite material for the cleaning portion, which includes elastomer and reinforcing materials for enhanced durability. The design also includes a brush portion that extends outward from the cleaning body, featuring bristles that are strategically arranged to protrude in three directions, aligning with the vertexes of the triangular shaft cross-section. This configuration aims to optimize cleaning efficiency in interdental spaces, making the tool a practical solution for oral hygiene.
