ABSTRACT:
A tooth flossing device for making the task of flossing teeth easier, neater, and more effective. A handle, designed for being gripped by a hand of a user, carries a removable, replaceable cartridge attached to one end. This cartridge contains a length of dental floss stretched between two pole pieces which are just far enough apart to pass a tooth between them. A user inserts the cartridge end of the flosser into his mouth, pressing the length of floss between two adjacent teeth, repeating the action until the spaces between all teeth have been cleaned. A used cartridge can be quickly and easily removed from the handle and replaced by a new one by pressing a detent and sliding the old cartridge from engagement with the handle. When the fresh cartridge is inserted, the detent automatically locks it into position.
