ABSTRACT:
Dental floss applicator storing clean floss and taking in spent floss and holding the clean floss under tension for cleaning between the teeth without placing the hands in or near the mouth. Clean and used or spent floss are stored in separate compartments of a container, of a size to fit in the average hand. The container, is closed on its sides and one end and along its top and bottom and a hollow arm having separate passageways leads from the container and forms an end wall of the container. The hollow arm has a forked hollow end in which the tines terminate in the same plane and are spaced apart and hold a length of taut clean floss in the space between the ends of the tines.
A pay out reel containing a supply of floss rotatably mounted in the clean floss compartment and a take up reel for the spent floss is rotatably mounted in the spent floss compartment. The reels are indexed as manually turned after each flossing operation to provide a supply of taut clean floss positioned to facilitate flossing of the teeth without touching the floss or mouth by hand.
