ABSTRACT:
Means for supporting a strip or length of dental floss in position ready for use. The means comprises a handle with a forked member at the end thereof having a pair of spaced arms and a movable anchoring and locking member supported in an opening in the handle. The strip of dental floss has its terminal ends wound around the stem of the anchoring and locking member and is adapted to lie in the longitudinal grooves in the face of the arms and extend across and between the arms, with the opposite terminal ends of the floss secured to the anchoring and locking member. The movable anchoring and locking member is adapted when moved axially into the opening to tighten the strip of dental floss across the forked arms and lock the opposite ends of the strip against sliding on the stem of the anchoring and locking member during use thereof. The handle may be that of a toothbrush so that the dental floss holder and toothbrush are an integral unit.
