Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:

[0026] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an oral tooth cleaning device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that the embodiments may be combined, or that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural and logical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0028] In general, the present invention is directed to an oral tooth cleaning device that can be more easily used during the day than toothbrushes. In particular, the present invention is directed to an oral tooth cleaning device that can fit onto a human finger so that the teeth or gums of a person can be cleaned by simply contacting the wipe therewith. For instance, the tooth cleaning device of the present invention can be used by an individual to clean one's teeth or to clean the teeth of someone else, such as an infant, or an elderly person. Further, the tooth cleaning device is well suited for every user irrespective of his/her age.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 1, various embodiments of an oral tooth cleaning device made in accordance with the present invention are depicted. In general, an oral tooth cleaning device of the present invention can be used to clean the oral cavity of a user by inserting it into a finger and maneuvering it within the oral cavity. In particular, as shown in FIG. 1, an oral tooth cleaning device provides cleaning, polishing, and fresh breath to the user.

[0030] An oral tooth cleaning device of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 can generally be formed in a variety of ways. For instance, in one embodiment, the oral tooth cleaning device includes a hollow tubular member having at least one open end for the insertion of a finger. The hollow tubular member includes a microfiber, which defines its cleaning surface, such as a textured surface, configured to clean the teeth and gums of a user. In another instance, the length of the tubular member is about 1.5 inches and its breath is about ¾ inches in which future changes are depending upon their particular application.

[0031] This invention is clearly new and useful. Moreover, it was not obvious to those of ordinary skill in this art at the time it was made, in view of the prior art when considered as a whole in accordance with the requirements of law.

[0032] It will thus be seen that the objects set forth above, and those made apparent from the foregoing description, are efficiently attained and since certain changes may be made in the above construction without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matters contained in the foregoing construction or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

[0033] It is also to be understood that the following claims are intended to cover all of the generic and specific features of the invention herein described, and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as a matter of language, might be said to fall there between.
