ABSTRACT:
A new and improved hand-held dental floss applicator apparatus includes a central body assembly, four finger assemblies projecting from the central body assembly, and four dental floss receiving assemblies connected to the respective four finger assemblies. Each of the respective dental floss receiving assemblies is formed as a notch in a respective finger assembly. The central body assembly lies in a first plane. A respective first portion of each of the respective finger assemblies projects from the central body assembly and is co-planar with the central body assembly. A respective second portion of each of the respective finger assemblies projects from each of the respective first portions and includes an end portion that lies in a second plane that is substantially perpendicular to the first plane. The central body assembly includes two opposed dental floss receiving channels. The dental floss receiving channels are formed as indentations adjacent to flange portions formed in the central body assembly. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a combined hand-held dental floss applicator and dental floss apparatus is provided in which the dental floss receiving assemblies are adapted to receive respective beads of a beaded dental floss. The dental floss apparatus includes a beaded dental floss which includes beads spaced at predetermined intervals along a quantity of dental floss. The predetermined intervals are approximately equal to a transverse distance between opposite resilient finger assemblies on opposite sides of a centrally positioned longitudinal plane.
