Toothbrush

Abstract

A manually driven toothbrush creating the same force, effect and rotation as the electric powered toothbrush. The oval head is smaller in circumference to the handle, to allow the flexible movement between the two pieces and stimulate the pushing of the stem against the pillar of the first rotator cog, thereby creating the rotating motion of the three brushes. During use of the toothbrush, the applied force of the hand combined with the friction of the bristles against the tooth surface and the spring and stem between the two segments set in motion the three interlocked cogs to which the bristles are embedded causing the bristles to rotate accordingly. This oppositional rotation pressures against the teeth going back and forth, removing the plaque from high surfaces of the teeth with merely the force of a hand. Such movement and rotation, prevents abrasion, massages the gum, while also providing for 360 degree coverage of the tooth surface.

       3 . The toothbrush of  claim 1  with the head having two hollow ends, one oval, to house three rotator cogs, the other hollow end being cylindrical to allow the adjoining of the handle and housing a small spring, the center of said head being partially solid, having a hollow portion proportional to the circumference of the stem. 
   
   
       4 . The toothbrush of  claims 1  and  2 , the cylindrical hollow portion of said handle having two triangular shaped grooves which enlace with two protruding triangles of the head, to allow grip and stability of the two segmented portions. 
   
   
       5 . The toothbrush of  claims 1  and  3 , the cylindrical hollow portion of said head having two protruding solid triangle shaped edges extending outwards on parallel sides of the circumference, which enlace with the hollow part of the handle to allow grip and stability of the two segmented portions. 
   
   
       6 . The toothbrush of  claim 1 , 2 , 3 , 4  and  5 , wherein the hollow cylindrical portion of the head slides into the cylindrical hollow portion of the handle, said sliding being secured by the interlocking of the two protruding triangles of the head, to the two triangle shaped grooves of the handle. 
   
   
       7 . The toothbrush of  claim 1  and  2 , with the handle having a long cylindrical stem, with half being embedded in the handle and the other half extending through the cylindrical hollow of the handle and protruding outward towards said head. 
   
   
       8 . The toothbrush of  claim 12  and  7 , wherein the protruding end of said cylindrical stem has grooved wedges on the left side. 
   
   
       9 . The toothbrush of  claim 1 , 2 , 7  and  8 , wherein said long cylindrical stem having the bottom end of a small spring welded to the center to provide resistance force upon the handle and housed in the hollow portion of the head. 
   
   
       10 . The toothbrush of  claims 1 , 2 , 3 , and,  4  where said spring is housed in the hollow portion of the head and contracts when the hollow portion of the head slides into the hollow portion of the handle creating resistance against the handle pushing it outward 
   
   
       11 . The toothbrush of  claims 1 , 2 , and  9 , wherein said spring, attached to the stem is contracted by the applied force of the hand to the handle 
   
   
       12 . The toothbrush of  claims 1 , 2 ,  6 , 4 , and  5 , wherein the applied force of the hand against the handle causes the hollow portion of the head to slide into the hollow portion of the handle 
   
   
       13 . The toothbrush of  claim 1 , 2 , 6 , 4 , 5 , 9  and  10 , wherein when the hollow portion of the head slides into the hollow psortion of the handle, the bottom end of the spring welded to the stem providing resistance, causing it to contract and in turn to push against the handle. 
   
   
       14 . The toothbrush of  claims 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 9 , and  13 , wherein said handle is pushed by the applied force of the hand causing said spring to contract and push against the head creating resistance against the handle. 
   
   
       15 . The toothbrush of  claims 1  and  2  wherein said long cylindrical stem spans to the tip of the base through the hollow cylindrical portion of the handle, creating strength support for the handle 
   
   
       16 . The tooth brush of  claims 1  and  3 , wherein the hollow oval portion of the head houses three interlocked rotator cogs, which are equal in diameter 
   
   
       17 . The toothbrush of  claims 1 , 2 , and  16 , wherein the said first rotator cog is comprised of a cog shaped base attached to a grooved pillar which interlocks with the grooves on the left side of the long stem of the handle 
   
   
       18 . The toothbrush of  claims 1 , 3 , 16  and  17 , wherein the said two other rotator cogs are comprised of interlocked cog shaped bases, which rotate in oppositional directions when set in motion by the movement of the stem against the first rotator cog. 
   
   
       19 . The toothbrush of  claims 1 , 3 , 16 , 17 , and  18 , wherein said cogs housed in the hollow interior of the head and contain circularly arranged bristles secured by in-molded technology, 
   
   
       20 . The toothbrush of  claim 1 , 3 , 16 , 17 , and  18 , wherein said rotator cogs are interlocked and push oppositionally against each other to create the circular rotator motion of the bristles in different directions. 
   
   
       21 . The toothbrush of  claims 1  and  19 , wherein the ends of said bristles are concavely shaped to fit the surface of human teeth 
   
   
       22 . The toothbrush of  claims 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 11  and  14 , wherein the ultimate rotation of the bristles is created by the applied force of the hand against the handle which in turn propels the grooves in the long cylindrical stem to push against the pillar of the first rotator cog, in turn leading to the turning of the first rotator cog, which, being interlocked with the other two cogs created their rotation, and in turn the rotation of the bristles. 
   
   
       23 . The toothbrush of  claims 1 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 11  and  14 , wherein said stem is manually propelled against the pillar of the first rotating cog, set in motion by the applied force of the hand to the handle pushing against the attached spring, leading to the turning of the first rotator cog, which, being interlocked with the two other cogs, in turn stimulates their rotation leading to the ultimate rotation of the bristles
