Embodiment Construction

[0026] The present invention is directed to a hand-held fluid droplet device 10 as described and illustrated herein that produces a spray of droplets for cleaning the interdental spaces between teeth. Figure 1A A handheld fluid droplet device 10 is shown that uses a mechanical system to generate a spray of droplets for oral cleaning. The device comprises a motor and gear train arrangement 11 powered by a battery 12 . A control unit 13 is included between the battery 12 and the motor 11 for controlling the operation of the handheld fluid droplet device 10 . In operation, the handheld fluid droplet device 10 is turned on or off by the power button 20 . The power button 20 generally includes an illuminated portion 22 for indicating that the handheld fluid droplet device 10 is turned on or is being charged. The handheld fluid droplet device 10 includes an elongated nozzle 30 extending outwardly from the device; through the elongated nozzle 30 a spray of droplets is directed thro...

Abstract

An automatic filling mechanism for use in conjunction with a hand-held fluid droplet appliance (10) for dental cleaning, the automatic filling mechanism having a door (42) to a chamber (40) in the hand held fluid droplet appliance (10) for holding fluid, the door having a female liquid inlet port (44) and a female liquid and air exit interface (46) having a snorkel system (80) attached thereto that is inserted into the chamber (40) that is used to fill the chamber (40) with fluid (112) from a reservoir (110) on a docking and charging station (100) when the hand held fluid droplet appliance (10) is inserted into a cradle (160) on the docking and charging station (100).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to hand-held oral cleaning devices that use a spray of fluid droplets for cleaning the interproximal areas of teeth by such a spray. Background technique [0002] When it comes to oral health, it's often thought of as nothing more than brushing your teeth. However, just brushing your teeth doesn't do a very good job of cleaning the interdental areas of your teeth. Therefore, in addition to brushing, dentists recommend flossing or other mechanisms to improve the cleaning of the interdental spaces. There are a variety of oral cleaning devices on the market that can be used at home. Oral cleaning devices that use a spray of liquid droplets to clean the dental areas of the teeth, including the interdental areas, are known. In many such appliances, a high velocity gas flow is used to generate liquid droplets when the liquid comes into contact with the gas flow, for example by a pump or other device. One such home ...
