PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Device for Rinsing and Cleansing the Mouth and
Teeth.
We, CLEMENS DÖRR, Engineer, of Germersheim, and WILHELM BRUCH,
Manufacturer, of Wiesbaden, both in the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a device for quickly and thoroughly rinsing and
cleansing the mouth and teeth, so as to keep both clean without using disinfectants
and the like. This is effected by an apparatus producing a large number of strong
jets adapted to strike the teeth, palate and the tongue. The device is arranged so
that the water from the mouth after the injection will not come in contact with the
clothes of the user.
The apparatus consists of a bottle or receptacle containing the water or liquid.
To the stopper is secured a spraying device made of vulcanized rubber, glass,
porcelain or the like. This is constructed on the same principle as Heron's ball or
ordinary spray diffusers. Air is forced into the bottle through a tube by means of
a rubber ball so that the liquid is forced up the pipe. The mouth piece con-
forming to the shape of the mouth is provided with preferably three roses or
spraying devices, two of them serving to rinse or cleanse the teeth whilst the other
preferably pear shaped perforated part projects into the mouth and sprinkles the
tongue and the palate. Owing to the air pressure produced by the blower, fine
water-jets issue from the perforations with greater or less force, and thoroughly
cleanse the parts they strike against.
The liquid having done its work flows through two openings in the plate into a
beak-shaped part away from the user so that the clothes are not damaged. Of
course any other liquid may be used instead of water and the apparatus may serve
for medical purposes.
To enable the apparatus to be easily cleaned it is preferably made in several
parts screwed or connected together and it is especially convenient to have the rose
or pear shaped part secured in a detachable manner.

page_text: the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a device for quickly and thoroughly rinsing and
cleansing the mouth and teeth, so as to keep both clean without using disinfectants
and the like. This is effected by an apparatus producing a large number of strong
jets adapted to strike the teeth, palate and the tongue. The device is arranged so
that the water from the mouth after the injection will not come in contact with the
clothes of the user.
The accompanying drawing illustrates, by way of example, an apparatus accord-
ing to the present invention in vertical section in Figure 1 and in plan in
Figure 2.
The apparatus consists of a bottle or receptacle as a containing the water or
liquid. To the stopper is secured a spraying device made of vulcanised rubber,
glass, porcelain, or the like. This is constructed on the same principle as Heron's
ball or ordinary spray diffusers. Air is forced into the bottle through a tube b by
means of a rubber ball c, so that the liquid is forced up the pipe d. The mouth
piece conforming to the shape of the mouth, is provided with preferably three roses
or spraying devices e, f, g two of them serving to rinse or cleanse the teeth whilst
the other preferably pear shaped perforated part 9 projects into the mouth and
sprays the tongue and the palate. Owing to the air pressure produced by the
blower fine water jets issue from the perforations with greater or less force and
thoroughly cleanse the parts they strike against.
The liquid having done its work flows through the two openings into a beak
shaped part h away from the user so that the clothes are not damaged. Of course
any other liquid may be used in place of water, and the apparatus may serve for
medical purposes.
To enable the apparatus to be easily cleaned it is preferably made in several
parts screwed or connected together and it is especially convenient to have the rose or
pear shaped part g secured in a detachable manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. A device for rinsing or cleansing the teeth and the mouth comprising a plate
provided with perforations and spraying devices as e f g and with a discharge outlet
said device being adapted to be connected to a water or liquid injector substantially
as described.
2. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the complete device
for rinsing and cleansing the mouth and teeth substantially as described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
