PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interdental cleaning tool that can be removed without trouble by enabling floss to be drawn out from an interdental space because a conventional interdental cleaning tool obtained by fixing the floss may damage the crown or the like by the floss hooked thereto when removing the floss from the interdental space.SOLUTION: An interdental cleaning tool is constituted of a handle 2 integral with an arm 1, and a cut is put in an arm base 5 and a groove 8 is included from an arm tip 6 to an arm top part 4. A hook 7 is included on the front and back of the handle 2, and the surface around the groove 8 and the hook 7 is finished so that floss 3 is hard to slide. The floss 3 is configured such that a catch such as a knot is made at an end and mounted to the arm base 5, is bridged to the arm tip 6, is conformed to the groove 8 and is wound around the hook 7, and the handle 2 is pressed down and held while a terminal is sandwiched by fingers. The floss 3 of an extended portion is put in the interdental space to clean, and then the fingers are separated from the handle 2, and thereby the terminal of the floss 3 is released from the hook 7 to be drawn out and removed from the interdental space.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来のフロスを固定した歯間清掃用具は、フロスを歯間から外す際に歯冠等に引っ掛けて損傷する場合があるので、フロスを歯間から引き抜くことができるようにして支障なく外すことができる歯間清掃用具を提供する。【解決手段】アーム1と一体の取っ手2で構成し、アーム元部5に切り込みを入れ、アーム先部6からアーム頂部4までに溝8を備える。取っ手2の表裏にフック7を備え、溝8とフック7の周囲の表面はフロス3が滑りにくい仕上げとする。フロス3は端部に結び目等の引っ掛かりをつくってアーム元部5に装着し、アーム先部6にかけ渡し、溝8に沿わせてフック7に巻き付け、端末を指で挟みこみながら取っ手2を押さえて保持する。張り渡した部分のフロス3を歯間に入れて清掃した後、取っ手2から指を離しフロス3の端末をフック7から解き放して歯間から引き抜き外すことができる歯間清掃用具である。【選択図】 図1
