Patent ID: 8596286

Claim:
A flossing device, comprising: a) a first elongated member including a channel disposed at a top end of the first elongate member, wherein the channel includes a first cross-sectional spacing and a second cross-sectional spacing, wherein the second cross-sectional spacing is less than the first cross-sectional spacing, and the second cross-sectional spacing is closer to a top edge of the first elongated member than the first cross-sectional spacing; wherein the channel includes a stepped chamber; wherein the stepped chamber includes a base, a middle region, and a top region; wherein the base is larger than the middle region, and wherein the middle region is larger than the top region; wherein the top region is disposed on top of the middle region and the middle region is disposed on the base, thereby the top region forms the second-cross-sectional spacing of the channel and the middle region forms the first cross-sectional spacing of the channel; b) a second elongated member, coupled to the first elongated member by a breakaway coupling; and c) a floss string, including: c1) a first end including an enlarged portion disposed within the channel of the first elongated member, and sized to be substantially larger than the second cross-sectional spacing; and c2) a second end coupled to a top end of the second elongated member.
