Claims
[1] CLAIMS TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH DRAWINGS PAGE AS
NUMERALS IN BRACKETS REFER TO DRAWINGS AND DIAGRAMS.
[2] 1. Elasticised nylon finger stockings manufactured in a continuous length (2) or individually, using the spun or attached fibres between the finger stockings as a form of inter teeth cleansing aid, with the spinning of the nylon (or any polyamides or silk fibre) stockings being made of layers of thin micro mesh webbing or of one thickly woven web for the finger, characterised as an oral cavity hygiene accessory which scours, cleans and absorbs plaque and tartar within all or part of the entire oral cavity, being contained and dispensed by a simple pull through (5) and cut off mechanism, from a small convenient container with an attached pop up lid (4).
[3] 2. Elasticised nylon finger stockings manufactured in a continuous length or individually as claimed in claim one which may be impregnated with dentrifices, oils or crystals to aid with oral hygiene.
[4] 3. Elasticised nylon finger stockings manufactured in a continuous length or individually as claimed in claim one, characterised in that they may be lined with a non permeable substance to avoid interactive contact with the bodily fluids of humans or animals.
[5] 4. Elasticised nylon finger stockings manufactured in a continuous length or individually as claimed in claim one characterised in that they may be made for the tip (1) or the length (3) of a finger. |
Description
DISPOSABLE ORAL HYGIENE ACCESSORY
[I] DESCRIPTION TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH DRAWINGS PAGE AS NUMERALS IN BRACKETS REFER TO DRAWINGS AND DIAGRAMS.
[2] The finger stocking (1) is an oral hygiene accessory for cleaning the oral cavity and refreshing the mouth.
[3] The finger stocking is for use anywhere but especially where the use of toilet facilities are importune or redundant.
[4] The finger stocking may be used for cleaning the teeth.
[5] The finger stocking may be used for cleaning the tongue.
[6] The finger stocking may be used for cleaning the gums.
[7] The finger stocking may be used for massaging the gums.
[8] The finger stockimg may be used for cleaning the teeth and gums of animals.
[9] The finger stocking may be manufactured with a polymeric amides micro mesh tail,
(2) which, when made taught may be used as a cleanser between the teeth, like a dental floss or tape.
[10] The tale (2) of the finger stocking, if used, scours and cleans the sides of the teeth and traps any dental plaque or tartar. It will also trap, between the fibres of the polymeric amides micro mesh, pieces of stuck food or debris.
II 1] The finger stocking may or may not be lined with a non permeable liner to avoid contact with bodily fluids thus and enabling one person to use the finger stocking on another person or animal.
[12] The finger stocking is an oral cavity cleaning aid which can be made for the tip of a finger or the length of a finger (3) formed from a single thick weave or thinner layers of woven polymeric amides micro mesh denier (nylon, rayon, silk) including an elastomer or elastin within the weaving production (such as lycraâ„¢) which should fit over most fingers or finger tips. This finger stocking may or may not be treated with dentrifice, oils or crystals to assist with the oral hygiene required.
[13] The finger stockings should be encapsulated in a small convenient package such like a plastic container with a pop up lid with a simple pull through cut off mechanism (4 &5).
[14] The finger stocking aids with oral hygiene by trapping dental plaque or tarter in the thickness of the polymeric amides micro mesh and could if required be washed and used again just like a pair of ladies stockings. Anyone can try out the idea of the finger stocking (especially first thing in the morning) by wrapping the thickest part of a clean ladies stockings or tights around a finger and using a brushing motion wipe their teeth, especially the rear molars, to feel how quickly and how clean their teeth are after use.
