ORAL HYGIENE TOOL

摘要

An oral hygiene tool has a tongue scraper with an elongate scraper body having an elongate upper edge forming a scraping surface for the tongue, and an elongate connector body connected to the elongate scraper body. There oral hygiene tool also has a toothbrush with an elongate toothbrush body and a plurality of brushes. The elongate connector body of the tongue scraper is telescopingly engaged with the elongate toothbrush body of the toothbrush, so that the tongue scraper can move between a collapsed configuration and an extended configuration relative to the toothbrush.

1. A oral hygiene tool for scraping a tongue and brushing teeth, the oral hygiene tool comprising:
a tongue scraper comprising:
an elongate scraper body having an elongate upper edge forming a scraping surface for the tongue; andan elongate connector body having a first end and a second end, the elongate scraper body being connected to the first end transverse to the elongate connector body; and a toothbrush comprising:
an elongate toothbrush body having a proximal end and a distal end; anda plurality of brushes extending from the proximal end of the elongate toothbrush body; the elongate connector body of the tongue scraper being telescopingly engaged with the elongate toothbrush body of the toothbrush, so that the tongue scraper can move between a collapsed configuration and an extended configuration relative to the toothbrush; wherein either the elongate connector body or the elongate toothbrush body has an elongate inner chamber shaped to accept, via a chamber aperture, either the elongate connector body or the elongate toothbrush body that does not have the elongate inner chamber; wherein the elongate connector body and the elongate toothbrush body slidingly telescopically engage each other; further comprising a locking mechanism for removably locking the oral hygiene tool in the collapsed configuration or in the extended configuration; at least one resilient arm extending from either the elongate connector body or the elongate toothbrush body; a locking prong extending radially from the resilient arm; a locking aperture extending radially through either the elongate connector body, or the elongate toothbrush body, to the elongate inner chamber; wherein the locking aperture and the locking prong are shaped to removably engage each other, thereby preventing longitudinal motion of the elongate connector body relative to the connector body; and wherein the resilient arm may be pressed away from the locking aperture to disengage the locking mechanism and allow the elongate connector body to slide longitudinally relative to the connector body.
