Abstract

See full text

This oral cleansing device assembly is an oral hygiene tool, which connects to the water faucet, uses normal water pressure in the system. All electric toothbrushes use a small motor, rechargeable or alkaline battery operated. High frequency vibrators, or piezo electric drive to rotate or oscillate the tooth brush head. This invention uses no electricity, no battery, brush driving power is derived from the water system. This combination, dual mode invention has two modes of operation, tooth brushing and dental jet. The oral cleansing device assembly consists of a diverter at the end of the faucet connecting to the HydraToothBrush with a vinyl or similar plastic tube to activate it. The water comes into the built in diverter with adjustable flow and direction control, water flows trough the impeller, it rotates a detachable shaft in the brush/water jet assembly. In FIG. 1 page 1 and in FIG. 11 on page 4 shaft transfers the rotation trough cone gears to the tooth brush. In FIG. 4 page 2 the brush driving power derives from the rotating disk with bumps on it. As the water pressure driven disk rotates the brush driving shaft 'rides' on the bumps and the brush will oscillate within 90 degrees. The shaft at the end is spring loaded, to return the shaft for the next lifting cycle. On page 3 FIG. 12 the rotating disk oscillates the brush in the head assembly. The built in diverter in the HyraToothBrush in the HydraJet mode diverts the water to the nozzle to clean any derbies from the oral cavities, from under the bridge works what the brush could not reach.
