Toothbrush

Abstract

The present invention is intended to provide a toothbrush in which the handle of the toothbrush includes a plurality of handle pieces and the handle pieces can be selectively assembled and separated by fitting coupling, screw coupling, or the like, thereby contributing to enabling children to make it a rule to brush their teeth by particularly stimulating the curiosity and interest of the children, and also improving brain development and a learning effect. The present invention provides a toothbrush including: a head (3) into which bristles (2) are planted; and a handle (4) which is coupled to the head (3); wherein the handle (4) includes a plurality of separate handle pieces (4a), and the handle pieces (4a) are selectively coupled to their adjacent handle pieces (4a) and separated from the adjacent handle pieces (4a).

1 . A toothbrush comprising:
 a head ( 3 ) into which bristles ( 2 ) are planted; and a handle ( 4 ) which is coupled to the head ( 3 );   wherein the handle ( 4 ) includes a plurality of separate handle pieces ( 4   a ), and the handle pieces ( 4   a ) are selectively coupled to their adjacent handle pieces ( 4   a ) and separated from the adjacent handle pieces ( 4   a ).   
     
     
         2 . The toothbrush of  claim 1 , wherein a fitting protrusion ( 5 ) and a fitting depression ( 6 ) are formed through coupling surfaces of a corresponding pair of toothbrush pieces so that the handle pieces ( 4   a ) can be fitted into the adjacent handle pieces ( 4   a ). 
     
     
         3 . The toothbrush of  claim 1 , wherein a fitting bolt ( 7 ) and a female screw hole ( 8 ) are formed through coupling surfaces of a corresponding pair of toothbrush pieces so that the handle pieces ( 4   a ) can be screwed to the adjacent handle pieces ( 4   a ). 
     
     
         4 . The toothbrush of  claim 1 , wherein a fitting protrusion ( 5 ) and a fitting depression ( 6 ) are formed through coupling surfaces of a corresponding pair of toothbrush pieces so that the handle pieces ( 4   a ) can be fitted into the adjacent handle pieces ( 4   a ), and a flexible coupling portion ( 9 ) is provided between the coupling surfaces so that flexible coupling can be achieved. 
     
     
         5 . A toothbrush comprising:
 a head ( 3 ) into which bristles ( 2 ) are planted; and a handle ( 4 ) which is coupled to the head ( 3 );   wherein the handle ( 4 ) includes:   a shaft ( 10 ) which is formed from the head ( 3 ) in a longitudinal direction of the handle ( 4 ); and   handle pieces ( 4   b ,  4   c ,  4   d  and  4   e ) which are separated into a plurality of handle pieces and have a through fitting hole ( 11 ) which is selectively fitted over the shaft ( 10 ) and separated from the shaft ( 10 ).   
     
     
         6 . A toothbrush comprising:
 a head ( 3 ) into which bristles ( 2 ) are planted; and a handle ( 4 ) which is coupled to the head ( 3 );   wherein the handle ( 4 ) includes:   a shaft ( 10 ) which is formed from the head ( 3 ) in a longitudinal direction of the handle ( 4 );   a plurality of fitting rings ( 12 ) which are formed on the shaft ( 10 ); and   a plurality of handle pieces ( 4   f ) which are each separated into upper and lower portions so that the handle pieces ( 4   f ) can be selectively fitted into the shaft ( 10 ) and the fitting rings ( 12 ) and separated from the shaft ( 10 ) and the fitting rings ( 12 ).   
     
     
         7 . A toothbrush comprising:
 a head ( 3 ) into which bristles ( 2 ) are planted; and a handle ( 4 ) which is coupled to the head ( 3 );   wherein the handle ( 4 ) includes:   a shaft ( 10 ) which is formed from the head ( 3 ) in a longitudinal direction of the handle ( 4 );   a plurality of fitting protrusions ( 15 ) which are formed on and beneath the shaft ( 10 ) at predetermined intervals; and   a plurality of handle pieces ( 4   g ) which have respective fitting depressions ( 16 ) which can be selectively fitted into the fitting protrusions ( 15 ) and separated from the fitting protrusions ( 15 ).   
     
     
         8 . The toothbrush of  claim 1 , wherein electronic chips capable of emitting light or sound are installed into the handle pieces ( 4   a ;  4   b ,  4   c ,  4   d  and  4   e ;  4   f ; or  4   g ). 
     
     
         9 . The toothbrush of  claim 5 , wherein electronic chips capable of emitting light or sound are installed into the handle pieces ( 4   a ;  4   b ,  4   c ,  4   d  and  4   e ;  4   f ; or  4   g ). 
     
     
         10 . The toothbrush of  claim 6 , wherein electronic chips capable of emitting light or sound are installed into the handle pieces ( 4   a ;  4   b ,  4   c ,  4   d  and  4   e ;  4   f ; or  4   g ). 
     
     
         11 . The toothbrush of  claim 7 , wherein electronic chips capable of emitting light or sound are installed into the handle pieces ( 4   a ;  4   b ,  4   c ,  4   d  and  4   e ;  4   f ; or  4   g ).
