Dental Hygiene Device
US Patent:
7080980, Jul 25, 2006
Filed:
Jul 6, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/883653
Inventors:
Michael Klupt - Owings Mills MD, US
International Classification:
A61C 17/02, A46B 13/04
US Classification:
433 80, 433 89, 15 29, 151671, 601162, 401282
Abstract:
A dental hygiene system provided with interchangeable dental heads permits power-enhanced brushing and concurrent fluid irrigation to optimize a user's personal dental hygiene efforts. The system has a handle assembly with an irrigation nozzle in close proximity to displaceable bristles driven by a battery-operated handle motor. Pumping of irrigation fluid such as an antiseptic solution into the oral cavity is also motor driven. A telescoping chamber with irrigation fluid fits on the piston-like base end of the handle and is refilled by docking the handle assembly on a complementary docking station that includes a detachable fluid reservoir, microswitch controls and a base fluid pump. Docking of the handle assembly triggers the microswitches and opens a check valve in the bottom of the handle chamber, which activates the flow of fluid from the reservoir into the chamber. An optional fiberoptic subassembly illuminates the oral cavity.

Toothbrush System With A Three-Dimensional Brushing Action And Fluid Irrigation
US Patent:
6766549, Jul 27, 2004
Filed:
Apr 17, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/123412
Inventors:
Michael F. Klupt - Owings Mills MD 21117
International Classification:
A46B 1304
US Classification:
15 222, 15 221, 15 29, 433 84, 433 80, 433125, 601162
Abstract:
A toothbrush system using a combination of mechanical force and fluid dynamics to increase the efficiency of plaque removal from the teeth and gums. The toothbrush includes a head unit with an irrigator nozzle and a hydraulically actuated and continuously variable bristle platform which negotiates the complex surface geometry found in the mouth of a user. The irrigation nozzle is powered by the pulsing of an anti-microbial irrigant which gives the toothbrush head unit the distinguishing ability of being able to âfeelâ the contour of the teeth and to âfindâ the spaces between them. Once the sensing irrigator nozzle finds the spaces between the teeth, it extends into the area, and releases the anti-microbial liquid directly into the space. The configured bristle tufts of the head unit automatically adjust their position for cleaning under the gum line, between the teeth, as well as flat surfaces.

Toothbrush System
US Patent:
5321866, Jun 21, 1994
Filed:
Sep 28, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/127362
Inventors:
Michael F. Klupt - Owings Mills MD
International Classification:
A61C 1734, A46B 1304
US Classification:
15 221
Abstract:
A toothbrush system is provided which includes a handle member (14) which defines an internal handle chamber (22) for containment therein of a cleansing liquid container (28). The handle member (14) is coupled to a head housing (24) which has bristles (20) extending from it. The bristles (20) are displaceably oscillated about a central axis (16) and simultaneously are rotated about an axis which extends in a perpendicular direction to the longitudinal direction (18) and is responsive to the oscillating displacement of the bristles (20). A mechanism is provided for delivering a liquid from the handle (14) through the head member (12) and external the toothbrush system adjacent the bristles (20). In this manner, there is provided pulsating liquid flow from the toothbrush system with a combined rotation and oscillation of the toothbrush bristles (20) in a plurality of planes.
