Abstract

A gum soother with a bristle-less wand, an internal vibrating device, a power supply connected to the internal vibrating device, an on/off switch for activating the internal vibrating device, and a mouth guard connected to the bristle-less wand. The mouth guard can extend at a first angle from the bristle-less wand and a flex neck connected to the bristle-less wand can extend at a second angle from the mouth guard. A hollow membrane-free dual chew tip can be connected to the flex neck, wherein the hollow membrane-free dual chew tip can be configured to sustain a reduced temperature from room temperature of at least 20 degrees Fahrenheit, if needed.

Claims (45)

1. An integral gum soother comprising:

a. a bristle-less wand comprising:

i. a motor;

ii. a power supply connected to the motor;

iii. a programmable logic circuit interior to the bristle-less wand for receiving and storing playback of audio messages;

iv. a USB port at an end of the bristle-less wand for receiving the audio messages from a source external to the integral gum soother and conveying the audio messages to the programmable logic circuit;

v. a speaker internal to the bristle-less wand connected to the programmable logic circuit for playing back the audio messages;

vi. an on/off recording switch connected to the programmable logic circuit enabling actuation and stopping of playback of the audio messages;

vii. an on/off switch connected between the power supply and the motor for activating the motor; and

viii. an internal vibrating device connected to the motor;

b. a mouth guard connected to the bristle-less wand extending at a first angle from 40 degrees to 120 degrees from the bristle-less wand;

c. a flex neck connected longitudinally to the bristle-less wand extending at a second angle from 40 degrees to 120 degrees from the mouth guard; and

d. a hollow membrane-free dual chew tip connected to the flex neck, wherein the hollow membrane free dual chew tip is configured to contact and massage the gums and sustain a reduced temperature from room temperature to at least 20 degrees Fahrenheit, if needed, and further wherein the hollow membrane-free dual chew tip contains a rotating vibrating arm.

2. The integral gum soother of claim 1 , comprising an internal casing contained inside the bristle-less wand having a first chamber containing the power supply and a second chamber containing the on/off switch and the motor.

3. The integral gum soother of claim 1 , wherein the power supply is at least one of: a non-rechargeable battery, a solar cell, and a rechargeable battery.

4. The integral gum soother of claim 1 , comprising a charging port engaging the USB port connected to the power supply for recharging the power supply.

5. The integral gum soother of claim 1 , wherein the bristle-less wand is a molded one piece unit.

6. The integral gum soother of claim 1 , wherein the bristle-less wand is a silicone based plastic, a soft rubber, a rubberized silicon material, and combinations thereof.

7. The integral gum soother of claim 1 , wherein the internal vibrating device comprises the rotating vibrating arm connected to a rotating device that further engages the motor.

8. The integral gum soother of claim 1 , comprising a switch locator on an outer surface of the bristle-less wand for easily locating of the on/off switch mounted within the bristle-less wand.

9. The integral gum soother of claim 1 , wherein the hollow membrane-free dual chew tip comprises a plurality of facets and a plurality of ridges mounted on an outer surface of the hollow membrane-free dual chew tip.

10. An integral gum soother comprising:

a. a bristle-less wand comprising:

i. a motor;

ii. a power supply connected to the motor;

iii. an on/off switch connected between the power supply and the motor for activating the motor; and

iv. an internal vibrating device connected to the motor;

b. a mouth guard connected to the bristle-less wand extending at a first angle from 40 degrees to 120 degrees from the bristle-less wand;

c. a flex neck connected longitudinally to the bristle-less wand extending at a second angle from 40 degrees to 120 degrees from the mouth guard; and

d. a chew tip comprising:

i. a flexible first wall;

ii. a flexible second wall parallel to and in a spaced apart relationship from the flexible first wall; and

iii. a temperature control material located in the channel between the flexible first wall and the flexible second wall for holding a different temperature than the flexible first wall and the flexible second wall.

11. The integral gum soother of claim 10 , wherein the temperature control material is a gel or beads.

12. A gum soother comprising:

a. a bristle-less wand comprising:

i. a motor;

ii. a power supply connected to the motor;

iii. an on/off switch connected between the power supply and the motor for activating the motor; and

iv. an internal vibrating device connected to the motor;

b. a mouth guard connected to the bristle-less wand extending at a first angle from 40 degrees to 120 degrees from the bristle-less wand;

c. a flex neck connected longitudinally to the bristle-less wand extending at a second angle from 40 degrees to 120 degrees from the mouth guard; and

d. a removable hollow membrane-free dual chew tip threadably engaging the bristle-less wand using first threads installed on the bristle-less wand and second threads installed on the flexible neck, wherein the removable hollow membrane-free dual chew tip is configured to contact and massage the gums and sustain a reduced temperature from room temperature to at least 20 degrees Fahrenheit, if needed, and further wherein the removable hollow membrane-free dual chew tip contains a rotating vibrating arm.

13. The gum soother of claim 12 , comprising a plurality of vents for rash prevention formed therein to prevent rashes from forming on cheeks of a user.

14. The gum soother of claim 12 , comprising a hollow body reducer connecting between the mouth guard and the motor.
