ABSTRACT:
A multiple lock dental floss holder comprises a body cooperative with a spool enclosure assembly to achieve multiple locking of a operative length of dental floss. An intermediate portion of the body of the dental floss holder has a through bore opening on one side to a spool receiving cavity and on the other side to an irregular surface. A spool enclosure piece or base is received into the spool receiving cavity and has an annular cavity between an annular flange skirt and a central hub or base for receiving a spool of dental floss. The central hub or a pin extends through the through bore of the intermediate portion and connects to a cap or cooperates with a pin base also having an irregular surface that is complimentary with the irregular surface of the intermediate portion to selectively achieve a mating or non-mating engagement therewith to selectively allow release or capture of a length of dental floss between the irregular surfaces. The floss enclosing piece or base, or a pin or an end cap are capable of being depressed by the fingers of a user to apply selective pressure against a length of dental floss. Further, the annular skirt of the spool enclosing piece or base has a plurality of guide teeth on its external surface cooperative with a ratcheting mechanism in the spool receiving cavity of the intermediate portion to allow rotation of the spool enclosure piece in only one direction.
