ABSTRACT:
A dental flosser comprising an elongated handle having a storage chamber for a spool of dental floss and a forked head having two spaced apart arms secured to one end of the handle. A through passageway is provided from the storage chamber in the handle to the forked head to feed a strand of dental floss from the chamber onto and around the outer ends of the arms of the forked head. The connection of the head to the handle includes means to capture and hold the adjacent portion of the strand of dental floss securely when tightened. The outwardly extending length of dental floss is then drawn taut across the span between the outer ends of the spaced apart arms of the forked head, and the free end portion is secured by winding around a circular wedge member. A cutting assembly is provided adjacent the wedge member to enable cutting off the excess portion of the dental strand. The flosser is then ready for use. A fresh strand of dental floss can be provided across the spaced apart arms of the forked head by loosening the connection between the handle and head, drawing a new length of dental floss outwardly from the storage chamber, tightening the head and handle connection, positioning the new strand around and across the spaced apart arms, wedging the end portion, and cutting off the excess by means of the adjacent cutting assembly.
