FIG. 1
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an economical ultrasonic manipulator of dental floss and an automated flossing device. More particularly, this invention relates to an economical hand tool and method of using the same that enables creep conservation of dental floss, ultrasonic vibratory motion, and a process control to manage a creep selection during a use thereof.
FIG. 1 is an illustrative flow chart of one aspect the proposed invention and method for operating an economic ultrasonic manipulator of dental floss.
FIG. 2 is an illustrative open-body view of one embodiment of the proposed invention for an ultrasonic manipulator of dental floss.
FIG. 3 is an illustrative side view of FIG. 2.
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the invention. Wherever possible, same or similar reference numerals are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts or steps. The drawings are in simplified form and are not to precise scale. The word ‘couple’ or ‘operates’ and similar terms do not necessarily denote direct and immediate connections, but also include connections through intermediate elements or devices. For purposes of convenience and clarity only, directional (up/down, etc.) or motional (forward/back, etc.) terms may be used with respect to the drawings. These and similar directional terms should not be construed to limit the scope in any manner. It will also be understood that other embodiments may be utilized without departing from the scope of the present invention, and that the detailed description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and that elements may be differently positioned, or otherwise noted as in the appended claims without requirements of the written description being required thereto.
Various operations may be described as multiple discrete operations in turn, in a manner that may be helpful in understanding embodiments of the present invention; however, the order of description should not be construed to imply that these operations are order dependent.
Referring now to FIG. 1, operable methods of using the proposed economic ultrasonic manipulator of dental floss are provided in method 100. It shall be understood by those of skill in the art that method 100 may include all, or a portion of the following discussed particular method steps without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
