Definitions
- This invention relates to toothbrushes, in particular to novel materials for toothbrush bristles and toothbrushes which incorporate such bristles.
- Toothbrushes generally comprise a grip handle and a bristle-bearing head arranged along a longitudinal axis.
- the head generally has a face from which project bristles.
- Bristles are generally made of natural bristle materials or more usually in modern times of resilient plastics materials such as nylon. Suitable physical requirements for toothbrush bristle materials are defined in the art, for example in British Standards Institution publication BS 5757:1979 "Specification for toothbrushes”. Other publications such as Gerodontics (1988) 4: 45-62 suggest other desirable requirements for toothbrush bristles, such as smooth convex end rounding. Some other materials such as softer rubber fronds have been proposed for use as alternatives to plastics bristle materials, for example as gum massaging elements, e.g.
- US 3403070 discloses hollow brush filaments which comprise a polyolefm sheath layer with an inner core of a foamed polyurethane, which are made by filling pre-formed hollow filaments with a polyurethane foam.
- US 3327339 and JP 5123222 discloses brush filaments having an outer sheath of a soft rubber material and a core of a harder plastics material.
- WO 97/14830 discloses coextruded monofilaments comprising a core material of a first resin and a sheath material of a second resin different from the first resin, with a pocket formed in the end of the monofilament. The monofilaments disclosed therein all comprise cores and sheaths both made of relatively hard polymers.
- toothbrush bristle materials for example to optimise bristle stiffness, the ability of bristles to transport toothpaste materials to the tooth surfaces of the user, and the softness of the free ends of the bristles. It is an object of this invention to provide an improved filament material for use as toothbrush bristles, and an improved toothbrush incorporating such bristles.
- a filament comprising one or more cores of a first polymeric material, surrounded by a sheath of a second polymeric material, characterised in that the first polymeric materials is a soft elastomer other than a foamed polyurethane, and the second polymeric materials is a plastics material which is harder than the soft elastomer, the core(s) and sheath being bonded together.
- the soft elastomeric material may be a known elastomeric material.
- soft will be understood in the elastomer art, and generally denotes an elastomeric material softer than the plastics material respectively of the sheath.
- the hardness of the soft elastomeric material may be 30 Shore A to 60 Shore D, for example 40 Shore A to 95 Shore A.
- the soft elastomeric material may comprise a single elastomeric material or a mixture, blend or compound of two or more elastomeric materials or of one or more elastomeric materials with other polymeric materials.
- Suitable elastomeric materials include the general class of thermoplastic elastomers, and in particular copolyester block copolymers (such as the known material HytrelTM, supplied by DuPont), polyamide block copolymers such as PebaxTM (supplied by Atochem (FR)), thermoplastic polyurethanes (“TPU”) such as ElastollanTM (supplied by Elastogram (DE)), compounds based on styrene block copolymers such as styrene-ethylene-butadiene(or propylene) - styrene (“SEB(or P)S”), or compounds based on styrene-isoprene(or butadiene)-styrene (SI(B)S) such as Thermolast KTM (supplied by Kraiburg Kunststoffwerk GmbH & Co (DE)), styrene block copolymers such as the Kraton DTM or Kra
- a preferred elastomer is the SEBS block copolymer Thermolast KTM, being a plasticised modified SEBS polymer compounded with polypropylene, having adhesion toward hard plastics such as polyamides and polyesters.
- Suitable plastics materials for the sheath of the filaments, include polyamides (such as NylonTM, e.g. Nylon 6.12TM and Nylon 6.10TM) for example the material commercially available as TynexTM (supplied by DuPont de Nemours (USA)), linked polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (“PET”) such as RyniteTM (supplied by DuPont de Nemours (USA)), and polybutyleneterephthalate (“PBT”) such as ValoxTM (supplied by General Electric Plastics (USA)), polyolefines such as polyethylene e.g. DowlexTM (supplied by Dow Chemical Corp.

- respective core and sheath materials which have adhesion toward each other.
- elastomer and plastics materials which are of similar polarities, e.g. both being polar polymers or both being non polar polymers, so as to facilitate physico-chemical bonding between the core and sheath materials.
- a thermoplastic elastomer such as HytrelTM may be used in a filament of this invention as a core, together with a harder plastics material sheath such as a PBT such as ValoxTM.
- the elastomeric material and/or the harder plastics material may be chemically modified to encourage these two materials to adhere to each other.
- some chemical treatment or modification of the materials may be preferable to achieve bonding between the core and sheath.
- Such chemical treatment or modification is well within the competence of skilled workers in the elastomer industry, and one suitable treatment or modification to facilitate bonding is for example disclosed in EP 0 393 409 A.
- an EPDM/PP material such as SantopreneTM may be used as a core, together with a polyamide chemically modified with polypropylene e.g. as disclosed in EP 0393409 A.
- a chemically modified thermoplastic elastomer such as a modified SEBS may be used, such as Thermolast KTM, as a core, with a polyamide such as Nylon 6.12TM and Nylon 6.10TM especially the material TynexTM.
- thermoplastic elastomers are preferred, and in particular modified compounded styrene block copolymers, especially Thermolast KTM, and of the above plastics materials polyamides such as Nylon 6.12TM and Nylon 6.10TM especially the material TynexTM, and polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate and polybutyleneterephthalate are preferred.
- polyamides such as Nylon 6.12TM and Nylon 6.10TM especially the material TynexTM
- polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate and polybutyleneterephthalate
- a particularly preferred combination of elastomeric material and plastics material is Thermolast KTM and Nylon 6.12TM and Nylon 6.10TM, with the elastomeric material as the core.
- the filaments may be made by known filament co-extrusion techniques, for example as disclosed in US patent 5313909.
- the materials of the core and sheath may be of the same colour, or of different colours e.g. to achieve a visual effect.
- the sheath may be transparent or translucent and the core may be coloured or vice versa.
- the filaments of the invention, particularly the preferred filaments have been found to have advantages for use as toothbrush bristle materials.
- the filaments may be of circular cross section, although the invention appears to be applicable to filaments of other cross sectional shapes.
- a circular section filament there is suitably a single core, preferably also of circular section and coaxial with the filament.
- filaments having two or more cores are also within the scope of this invention.
- Circular section filaments may have a diameter similar to that of presently used toothbrush bristles, although they may in some cases be a little larger in diameter than presently used toothbrush bristles, for example being 0.1 - 0.4 mm, typically around 0.17 - 0.25 mm diameter.
- the core may for example have a diameter of 10 - 80 % of the overall diameter of the filament, typically 30 - 70 %, preferably 40 - 80 %, more preferably 40 - 70 % of the overall diameter.
- Toothbrush bristle filaments are typically 8 - 15 mm in length. Suitable proportions of overall diameter, core diameter and length for any desired stiffness of toothbrush bristle, e.g. soft, medium or hard may easily be determined by simple experiment within the competence of those skilled in the art.
- the filaments may alternatively be of other cross sectional shapes, and the cross sectional shape of the core may be the same as or different to that of the filament itself.
- the filaments of the invention may be made into toothbrush bristles by any of the well known methods for making filaments of known types into toothbrush bristles. Toothbrush bristles made from the filaments of the present invention may be fixed into toothbrush heads using any of the well known methods of fixing toothbrush bristles into toothbrush heads, e.g. by using small metal clips jammed into socket holes in the toothbrush head, or by fusing the plastics material of the head around the ends of the bristles. The free ends of bristles made using the filaments of the invention may be subjected to end rounding as is done with conventional toothbrush bristles. Therefore according to a further aspect of this invention there is provided the use of the above-described filaments as toothbrush bristles, toothbrush bristles comprised of the above-described filaments. According to a further aspect of this invention there is provided a toothbrush characterised in that some or all of its bristles are comprised of the above-described filaments, especially filaments according to the preferred embodiments.
- the toothbrush of this aspect of the invention may have all of its bristles made of the filaments of this invention, or alternatively bristles made of the filaments of the invention may be combined in a toothbrush with bristles made of other materials, e.g. conventional, materials, e.g. of polyamides such as NylonTM.
- bristles made of the filaments of this invention and bristles made of other materials the different types of filaments may be mixed together in tufts, or alternatively or additionally some tufts may be composed entirely of the filaments of the invention and other tufts may be composed only of bristles of other materials.
- toothbrush bristles made of the filaments of the invention with an elastomer core are their fatigue characteristics under the wear and tear encountered in use in brushing the teeth. After a period of such use the deformation of the bristle field, e.g. widening, composed of bristles which are made of filaments of this invention, can be much less.
- toothbrush bristles made of the filaments of this invention is their better adhesion to the surface of the teeth being brushed, resulting from the friction characteristics of the elastomer core compared with the lower friction surface of the plastics material sheath, and hence a better cleaning effect.
- a small concavity can form in the exposed surface of the core at the free end of the filament, either during manufacture, end rounding or during the wear that occurs during toothbrushing. Also around the rim of this concavity the sheath can fray to surround the concavity with a small fringe of fine fibres of sheath material.
- toothbrushes of the invention e.g. the construction and shape of the handle and head etc., may be conventional.
- Fig. 1 shows a cross section through a filament of the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal sectioned view of the end of a toothbrush bristle made of the filaments of the invention, having a concavity at its end.
- filaments 1 were made, of generally circular cross section, comprising a core 2 also of generally circular cross section, surrounded by a sheath 3.
- the core 2 is composed of a soft elastomeric
- the sheath 3 is composed of a harder plastics material .
- the filaments 1 are made by a co-extrusion process by which the core 2 and sheath 3 are bonded together in the filaments 1.
- a toothbrush bristle 4 is shown in cross sectioned view, having a core 2 and sheath 3, and being made of the filament material described and shown with reference to Fig. 1.
- the free end has been rounded using a conventional bristle end rounding technique.
- a small concavity 5 has formed at the free end, where the softer elastomer core has become exposed.
- the harder plastics material of sheath 3 has split and frayed to form a fringe 6 of small fibres around the core 2 and surrounding the small central concavity 5.
- the fringe 6 gives the bristle 4 a soft end, and the concavity 5 can accommodate particles (not shown) such as abrasives from a tooth paste material and carry them into close proximity to the surfaces of teeth being cleaned.
- filaments 1 Two types were made.
- the core 2 was composed of the soft elastomeric modified SEBS material Thermolast KTM supplied by Gummiwerk Kraiburg GmbH & Co
- the sheath 3 was composed of the harder plastics material Nylon 6.12TM, in the form of HytrelTM.
- the two types of filaments both had an overall diameter of 0.25 mm, and core diameters of respectively 0.125 mm (type A) and 0.165 mm (type B).
- the sheath 3 was coloured blue and the core 2 white.
- a test toothbrush was made with all of its bristles made of filaments as described above and as shown with respect to Figs. 1 and 2.
- test bristles were subjected to a 4 month intermittent and continuous Ponzini wear test (a testing procedure widely used in the field of toothbrush bristles), and showed excellent non-wear properties.
- test toothbrush showed better cleaning efficiency than the comparison toothbrush, type A with the smaller diameter core proving better than type B after a long period of simulated use.
- both type A and B showed virtually no widening of the bristle field after simulated ca. 5.5 hours of simulated toothbrushing.
- the comparison Dr BestTM toothbrush showed up to 45% widening of the bristle field as a result of these tests.
