LOGOPAEDIC TREATMENT DEVICE
A logopaedic treatment device has a U-shaped basic shape to be inserted into the mouth. The logopaedic treatment device includes a plate segment for partially covering a U-shaped basic shape to be inserted into the mouth, a plate segment for partially covering the rows of teeth in the upper and lower jaw, and, on the side facing away from the teeth, at least one projection, in particular an arrangement of a number of projections, for lip stimulation. The bite strip defines a bite-on plane and the projections are arranged both above and below the bite-on plane.
ORAL IRRIGATOR WITH VARIABLE MOTOR DRIVE
An oral irrigator comprising a reservoir, a pump in fluid communication with the reservoir, where the pump pumps fluid from the reservoir to an outlet, a motor coupled to the pump to drive the pump, a control module in electrical communication with the motor to vary an output of the motor, wherein when a first setting corresponding to a first pressure output for the outlet is selected the control module drives the motor by applying a first voltage waveform to the motor and when a second setting corresponding to a second pressure output for the outlet is selected the control module drives the motor by applying a second voltage waveform to the motor, where the second voltage waveform is different from the first voltage waveform.
Reduced form factor oral irrigator
An oral irrigator has a base unit housing a motor and a pump, a removable reservoir defining a reservoir cavity configured to mechanically couple to a top surface of the base unit and fluidly couple the reservoir cavity to the pump, and a belt drive assembly connecting the motor to the pump. The belt drive assembly includes a drive pulley connected to an output shaft of the motor, a driven pulley spaced apart from the drive pulley and mechanically connected to a piston that drives the pump, and a continuous belt connecting the drive pulley to the driven pulley. A handle for the oral irrigator may include a housing defining a slot formed in an outer wall of the housing.
Hydro pulse water flosser with reservoir
The present invention provides an advanced water flosser utilizing a direct water source, such as, but not limited to, an attachment to a shower head, that also may embody a reservoir and/or compartment capable of introducing other desirable substances designed to enhance the teeth cleaning process, such as, but not limited to fluoride, antibiotics, mouthwash, whiteners and the like.
ORAL CARE IMPLEMENT
The present disclosure is concerned with an oral hygiene implement having a longitudinal axis, a carrier element mounted for driven movement, a motion transmitter that has a first end for transferring a drive force to the carrier element, which first end is provided at a position being offset from the longitudinal axis, and the motion transmitter has a second end positioned essentially on on the longitudinal axis or is arranged for being positioned essentially on the longitudinal axis during operation, wherein the motion transmitter has a first coupling part comprising the first end, which first coupling part essentially extends along a centre axis arranged at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis, and a second coupling part comprising the second end, which first coupling part is fixedly connected with a first connecting portion of an elastic pivot element that allows that the first coupling part and the second coupling part can pivot with respect to each other at least in a first pivoting plane spanned by the longitudinal axis and by the centre axis, and wherein the first coupling part is made from a plastics material, including reinforced plastics materials, having a Young's modulus of at least 5000 MPa or from a metal material, and at least the first connecting portion, in particular the whole elastic pivot element, is made from a plastics material having a Young's modulus of not more than 3000 MPa, optionally of not more than 1000 MPa, further optionally of not more than 500 MPa.
ORAL IRRIGATOR WITH VARIABLE OUTPUT FLUID CHARACTERISTICS
An oral irrigator including a reservoir, a tip in fluid communication with the reservoir, a pump in fluid communication with the tip and the reservoir, where the motor drives the pump. The oral irrigator also includes a control module electrically coupled to the motor to vary an output of the motor. During a normal mode, the control module drives the motor to output a normal pulse rate, a normal flow rate, and a normal fluid pressure as the fluid exits the tip and during a massage mode, the control module drives the motor to output a massage pulse rate, a massage flow rate, and a massage fluid pressure as the fluid exits the tip. The massage pulse rate is lower than the normal pulse rate, the massage fluid pressure is lower than the normal fluid pressure, and the massage fluid pressure is lower than the normal fluid pressure.
