KR-102962212-B1 - Acupressure Functional Integrated Toothbrush Holder

Abstract

The present invention provides an integrated toothbrush handle with acupressure functionality, comprising: a head portion formed to allow bristles to be implanted at one end, so as to provide a user to apply pressure to their palm during daily brushing by implementing protrusions with different angles on the toothbrush body, and efficiently producing the toothbrush handle by molding it into an integrated single injection structure; and a body portion having a plurality of pressure protrusions formed to protrude along the outer circumference and gripped by the user, wherein the head portion and the body portion are formed into an integrated single injection structure.

Claims (4)

1. A head portion formed to allow brush bristles to be planted on one side; A body part having a plurality of pressure protrusions formed to protrude along the outer circumference and capable of being grasped by a user; The head portion and the body portion are formed as an integral single-injection molded structure, and The above pressure protrusion is formed in the shape of a triangular pyramid having three triangular faces, wherein one of the first triangular faces is formed with a slope different from that of the two second triangular faces, and The above-described pressure protrusions are configured in an octagonal arrangement structure on the outer circumference of the body part, and are formed with a first pressure protrusion that is arranged in a quadrilateral shape in the up, down, left, and right directions and has a relatively large surface area, and a second pressure protrusion that is arranged in a quadrilateral shape between each first pressure protrusion and has a surface area relatively smaller than that of the first pressure protrusion. A toothbrush holder with integrated acupressure function, characterized in that when the first triangular surface among the first acupressure protrusions is positioned downward on the opposite side of the head portion, the first triangular surface among the second acupressure protrusions is positioned to face the head portion and is formed in opposite up and down directions to each other.

Description

Acupressure Functional Integrated Toothbrush Holder The present invention relates to an integrated toothbrush handle with acupressure functionality, and more specifically, to an integrated toothbrush handle with acupressure functionality that allows the user to apply pressure to the palm during daily brushing by implementing protrusions with multifaceted shapes having different angles on the toothbrush body, and enables the toothbrush handle to be efficiently manufactured and produced using an integrated single-injection molding structure. Generally, a toothbrush is a tool used to keep teeth clean, consisting of a handle and a bristles section made up of multiple brushes; it is used to remove foreign substances stuck between teeth by applying toothpaste to the bristles and scrubbing the surface of the teeth. At this time, the toothbrush handle is generally formed in a long, straight, or slightly inclined shape, and is configured to include a body part that serves as a handle for the user to hold and use, and a head part formed to accommodate multiple bristles. However, conventional toothbrushes had a problem in that they were designed to focus solely on the primary function of cleaning teeth, and therefore could not be equipped with other functions. In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, prior art disclosed in Published Utility Model Publication No. 8698 (September 15, 2011) describes a foldable toothbrush having a toothbrush part formed with bristles on the upper side and a connecting protrusion and a locking protrusion formed on the lower side, and a handle part formed with a connecting recess into which the connecting protrusion is inserted and a locking recess into which the locking protrusion is inserted, and having multiple pressure protrusions and a toothbrush part insertion part, thereby making it convenient to carry and store the toothbrush and forming pressure protrusions that can promote the body's metabolism through palm pressure. In addition, Public Patent Publication No. 60167 (June 5, 2006) discloses a functional toothbrush that is easy to use and capable of providing acupressure functions beneficial to the body, by being composed of a central rod having a locking projection formed at one end and an insertion part having a spiral portion at the other end; a handle formed of a material such as soft urethane resin or rubber, which is fitted and coupled to the outer circumference of the central rod, has a rectangular body formed by penetrating the center to form a through hole and having a diameter in the center larger than the diameters on both sides, and has a plurality of protrusions formed on the outer circumference of the body; and a toothbrush head having a fitting part formed on one side to be coupled to the insertion part of the central rod and bristles formed on the other side. However, in the case of the aforementioned prior art, specifically Published Utility Model Publication No. 8698 and Published Patent Publication No. 60167, both are manufactured by producing the toothbrush handle body (handle) and head through separate injection molding processes and then assembling them. This process is complex, leading to higher unit costs and reduced productivity. In particular, when manufacturing a functional toothbrush handle with protrusions on the body, there are difficulties in the demolding process to remove the product from the mold after the injection molding. This results in defective products during production, making it extremely difficult to produce a toothbrush handle that is an integrated unit with the head. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view showing an embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a side view showing an embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is a bottom view showing an embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 6 is a partial enlarged view showing a pressure point protrusion in an embodiment according to the present invention. FIG. 7 is an enlarged side view showing a pressure point protrusion in an embodiment according to the present invention. The present invention is characterized by a technical configuration of an integrated toothbrush handle with acupressure functionality, comprising: a head portion formed to allow bristles to be planted at one end; and a body portion having a plurality of pressure protrusions formed to protrude along the outer circumference and capable of being gripped by a user, wherein the head portion and the body portion are formed as an integrated single-injection structure formed as a single unit. Next, a preferred embodiment of an integrated toothbrush handle with acupressure functionality according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, an embodiment of the acupressure funct
