Abstract

The Scrub-A-Brush, Millennium Edition . . . . And is designed to aid individuals with less than normal mobility in their arms and hands. Working by the compression's of ones jaws. This apparatus also cleans the gums and strengths them. While cleaning both sides of the teeth and tops all at the same time. This apparatus is designed for moderate to healthy teeth and gums.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1.) Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to the cleaning of the teeth and gums by the compression of the users jaws.
  • 2.) Describing of the Prior Art
  • The use of The Scrub-A-Brush, M.E. is known in The Prior ART. Typical examples of well DESIGNED tooth brushes are to be found NO where like this in The United States Patent archives or in The World.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of the possibility of gum bleeding and even in some cases gum receding in less than moderate to healthy teeth and gums.
  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • The Invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
  • FIG. 1 Is a perspective view of a first embodiment of The Scrub-A-Brush, Millennium Edition as it looks from a backward view.
  • FIG. 2 Is a cross-sectional view of the Invention as viewed along side line 2-2 in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 Is a view of the Invention as severed down the center, middle.
  • FIG. 4 Is a perspective of the Invention as viewed as transparent to see ALL the working bristles both bottom and side to side.
  • FIG. 5 Is a measurement diagram of The Scrub-A-Brush, M.E. as it dictates the verity of sizes in common jaw alignments:
      • (YOUTH=Small, TEEN=Medium, ADULT=Large)
    DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • With references now to be the drawings, and in particular to FIG. 1 thereof, a new and improved tooth brushing apparatus embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral 5 will be described.
  • More specifically, it will be noted that the tooth brushing apparatus is divided into three parts. 1 being the shaft or handle. 2 being the top or upper trey. 3 being the bottom or lower trey. FIG. 2 demonstrates the alignment of the bristles The motor runs and operates the movement of the bristles in such a way that the teeth and gums are thoroughly brushed and cleaned through the pulsating and turning of the bristles.
  • To obtain the vireos speeds of the bristles the controller button or ON/OFF button is set with 3 speeds. 1 being speed low, 2 being speed medium, 3 being speed high this speed controller is designed to give the users more control of the NEW teeth cleaning experience.
  • A modified embodiment of this invention is shown in FIG. 3 where it is controlled by 3 tiny motors operating vireos bristle arrays. Tiny bundles of bristles clean and scrub the teeth and gums through this compression activation. Once the jaw releases the Scrub-A-Brush, the tooth brushing apparatus the tooth brush deactivates the motorized bristles. The apparatus' bristles can still clean the teeth and gums with NO batteries However, this is NOT recommended for a maximum and superior teeth and gum cleaning experience.
  • FIG. 4 of the drawings illustrate the bristles as they would appear if the apparatus is created in transparent material. Finally, FIG. 5 of the drawings illustrates the 3 sizes the apparatus commonly comes in. YOUTH=Small, TEEN=Medium and ADULT=Large broken down to scale the commonly average mouth size.
  • As to the manor of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above described. Accordingly, NO further discussion related to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.
  • With respect to the above described then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the INVENTION, to include variations in size, material, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present INVENTION.
  • Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrated only of the principles of the Invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the Art, it is NOT desired to limit The INVENTION to the exact construction and operation shown and described and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be restored to, falling within the scope of The INVENTION.
