ABSTRACT:
An improved dental flossing device includes a generally cylindrical body portion and a curved end portion. The cylindrical body portion is hollow and includes means for mounting a spool of dental floss therein. Floss from the spool is fed through a first locking means formed within the cylindrical body to the curved end portion. The locking means consists of a cylindrical boss extending radially inwardly of the body portion which defines a through aperture. A movable member is received in the aperture therein. A passageway formed in the movable member receives the dental floss. The movable member is spring-biased such that the passageway formed therein is normally seated within the aperture formed in the boss so as to frictionally engage the dental floss and prevent movement therethrough. The floss is then threaded in a curved end portion to the tip thereof, through an aperture formed in the tip, across a gap defined between the tip of the curved end portion and the body portion, and through a second aperture formed in the end of the body portion into the interior thereof. The dental floss is lastly fed through a second locking means, similar to the first locking means and through an exit aperture formed in the body portion to the exterior thereof.
