ABSTRACT:
This is a flossing apparatus that stores dental floss, holds it automatically under tension and agitates and renews the floss during its manipulations. The floss unwinds from one spool and rolls on another automatically. The floss makes a complete circuit passing by an oscillator imparting back and forth movements to the floss and subsequently to a two-pronged headpiece holding the floss under tension across the two prongs. The spools are connected by a clutch and crank transmission mechanism which maintains controllable floss tension.
