    摘要: A toothbrush includes a head having a bristle carrying surface formed from a thin resilient flexible dome shaped membrane. An air space is located between the base of the head and the membrane so that the membrane is capable of flexing to alter its original shape during use of the toothbrush and then recover to the original shape randomly during use. In a further practice of the invention the head and/or handle have elastomeric portions at least partially surrounding an open area. These portions are readily deflectable under pressure during use to improve handling of the toothbrush and orientation of the cleaning elements. Alternatively the toothbrush includes a longitudinal hinge collinear with the longitudinal axis of the toothbrush head so as to separate the head into a pair of side by side longitudinal sections, each of which has outwardly extending cleaning elements. The hinge is made of a resilient spring-like material to urge the sections to return to their original position after the hinge has been opened as a result of the cleaning elements contacting the teeth.

    摘要: A toothbrush includes a handle and a head mounted to the handle. The head may generally include a membrane attached to it and configured for attachment to a cleaning element. The membrane may be generally dome shaped and may be resiliently flexible when a brushing force is applied. A plurality of cleaning elements is mounted to the membrane. The cleaning elements may be attached using anchor free tufting. In addition, the cleaning elements may be sufficiently spaced so as to allow separation of the melted portion of the cleaning elements. In another arrangement, the head may also include walls or dams positioned between the cleaning elements. The walls prevent the melted portion of the cleaning elements from merging with the melted portion of another cleaning element. This isolation of the molten nylon allows the cleaning elements to move independently of each other.

    摘要: A head for use with a toothbrush and method for forming the same, comprising an outer perimeter portion formed of a rigid material. The rigid material is adapted to allow the head to be sonically welded. The head also comprises a tuft field positioned within the outer perimeter portion. The tuft field is formed of a flexible elastomer. The tuft field defines one or more apertures to receive one or more bristle tufts. The head is sonically welded into place in the toothbrush.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a toothbrush having a handle formed of interlocking opposed S-curved sections, the first being relatively rigid and the second relatively resiliently flexible, the opposed S-curved sections forming a generally elongated FIG. 8, having a transverse aperture within each segment of the FIG. 8, such that during brushing the user can manipulate the relatively rigid and resiliently flexible section to position the bristle bearing face of the toothbrush to conform to the arcuate configuration of the dentiture.
