Technical Field
The invention relates to a flexible cover of the tongue designed especially for massaging the gums and teeth cleansing.
Background Art
At the present, massaging of the gums or cleaning of the inner side of the teeth is performed by means of different types of tooth and massage brushes. The disadvantage of this solution lies in need to manually hold the brush, to perform the movements and it requires certain level of concentration, which further makes it almost impossible to perform any other activity .
Disclosure of the invention
The disadvantages of massaging the gums and teeth cleansing are eliminated by means of the cover according to this invention, where the cover is put onto the tongue which performs all movement when cleaning inside of the oral cavity. Self massage or cleaning the inner side of the teeth can be performed practically anytime and intuitively without focusing on such activity, i.e. even when performing other activities (e.g. work, watching TV, reading, etc.).
In preferred embodiment, the tip of the cover body has roughened surface for teeth cleansing and massaging gums, in another preferred embodiment, the tip of the cover body is provided with at least two thin vertical and / or horizontal massaging elements or massaging elements in the shape of waves, in another preferred embodiment it is provided with at least one protrusion for massaging the gums, in another preferred embodiment, the tip of the cover is provided with bristies, in another preferred embodiment, the tip of the cover is provided with bristles and at least one massage protrusion. A combination of all the above embodiments is also proposed by this invention. The cover according to the advantageous embodiments dramatically increases efficiency of massaging the gums and cleansing the inner side of the teeth, and even in comparison with conventional solutions.
The cover is made of flexible and elastic material such as latex or softened silicone to ensure sufficient flexibility and sanitary character of the product. The material easily adapts to the shape and size of the tongue, where the inside of the cover - the recess - is complementary to the shape of the tongue. The cover flexibility is given by the cover wall thickness. It is proposed that towards the tip the thickness of the cover continuously increases, resulting in that the very tip of the sleeve is less flexible than the rest of the cover body.
