Abstract

See full text

A flosser which holds the floss between two (2) unequal length prongs located in the head piece. The floss moves back and forth by a motor. When the floss is placed between the teeth and laterally moved forty-five degrees, the floss will clean between and the opposite sides of the teeth. When removed and rotated 180 degrees and placed between the same teeth, it will now clean the opposite sides of the same teeth, resulting in cleaning the four sides of the teeth. The head is detachable so that a separate round toothbrush with a guard on half of it will be able to brush in between the teeth. The top teeth are cleaned with the motor operating counterclockwise, the bottom teeth cleaned with the motor operating clockwise. However, due to its reversability, the motor may be operated in either direction as desired. A head with the following attachments: A small, round, pointed brush used to clean placque at the gum line A round rubber or plastic cup to hold polish rotating at a low rpm to brighten teeth A rubber or plastic gum massager may also be placed on this head A separate head which operates a water pulser to remove solids from between the teeth which operates on an offset cam causing water to be squirted out in small bursts.
