Title:
ROTARY TOOTHPICK
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH11113930
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To easily remove an object which is pinched between teeth or is filled in a tooth by a method wherein a rotation driving unit which rotates a shaft, and an attaching-detaching mechanism are provided, and at the tip end of the shaft, a toothpick part is attached by the attaching-detaching mechanism.

When a shaft 6 is moved in the direction shown by arrow under a state wherein a cylindrical body 1 is fixed, a spiral groove 10 which is provided on the shaft 6 is guided by a steel ball 3, and the shaft 6 rotates until reaching the final end location of the spiral groove 10, and enters the cylindrical body 1 while compressing a spring 13. The shaft 6 which has entered the cylindrical body 1 is returned to the original state by the elastic force of the compressed spring 13. That is, at the time of usage, by moving the cylindrical body 1 in the opposite direction from the arrow direction, a rotating force can be imparted to the shaft 6, and by moving the cylindrical body 1 while placing a toothpick part 17 on the region of an object which fills a tooth, or is pinched between teeth (a foreign object), the foreign object can be easily removed.
