ABSTRACT:
A dental floss holder comprises a substantially rectangular body having a U-shaped cut out with a pair of spaced protruding legs at one end between which the dental floss is strung. In one embodiment, the body portion includes a first pair of opposed slots at an intermediate location and a second pair of opposed slots near the base of the U-shaped cut out with said slots being located in the edges of the body to permit stringing the dental floss in a continuous manner. The end portion of the body with the protruding legs is positioned at an angle to the main portion of the body in order to facilitate use of the holder. In another embodiment of the invention, protruding elements are located between the adjacent slots on one side of the body while in a further embodiment a peculiar knuckle-type protrusion is located on each side of the holder eliminating the need for slots.
The holder is relatively inexpensive and does not require separate gripping elements to hold the dental floss in place thereby saving time and effort.
