Title:
DENTAL FLOSSER WITH BENDABLE SIDE WINGS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000023004
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A dental flosser having a pair of spaced apart arms across which a strand of dental floss is extended and a handle extending in a direction different from said arms, the arms and handle being essentially a flat contiguous injection molded plastic board, the handle having an aperture through its central area bordered by a pair of legs which are bendable to converge toward each other, a pair of wings extending from both outside edges of these legs, each wing being bendable out of the plane of the board to extend transversely therefrom to provide a surface thicker than the original edge of the handle, each of the arms being an extension of one of the legs so that when the legs are pressed toward each other the corresponding arms are urged to diverge from each other, thus stretching and tensioning the strand of floss extending therebetween with the wings providing a comfortable surface against which the users' fingers are pressed.
