Problems solved by technology

[0005] Although the size of these toothbrushes is close to the size of a manual toothbrush, the cleaning action is not effective because the energy of the vibrating device is dissipated over the entire head and neck instead of being concentrated in the tufts.
Despite the introduction of vibration dampening on the neck, the vibrations are transmitted to the handle, making these toothbrushes quite uncomfortable to use

Embodiment Construction

[0025] Each toothbrush head shown in the series of drawings A-H is divided into at least two parts, the upper part (1) is the tufted part containing the bristles (2), and the bottom (4) or side part (26e) is to provide the support structure part. Vibration devices (7, 20) are always fixed on top. The upper part (1) and the bottom part (4) or the upper part (1) and the side part (26e) are connected by a flexible part (3), and the flexible part makes the upper part (1) and the bottom part (4) or the upper part (1) ) and side (26e) can carry out relative movement between.

[0026] Each preferred embodiment will now be described in detail with reference to each series of drawings.

[0027] exist figure 1 and Figures A1-A6 A preferred embodiment is shown in and described below. figure 1 A toothbrush is shown comprising an elongated handle 40 adapted to be grasped by a user. The handle 40 is fixed to the head 41 by the neck 6 . Figure A1 and A2 Two isometric views showing ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a toothbrush having a head utilising a vibrating device for the generation of motion contained within the head and fixed directly on the top part of the head having bristles, the top part of the head with the electromechanical device being connected to a lower part or a side part of the head through a flexible part, and the lower part or side part of the head being connected to the neck and handle such that the energy of vibration is focused on the top part which can move relative to the neck part with only minimal vibration being transmitted to the toothbrush handle. The invention provides a toothbrush head whereby the entire mechanism for motion generation is contained within the head with all energy of the motion generating device being concentrated on the tufted part of the head, while the size of the toothbrush can correspond roughly to the size of manual toothbrushes and flexibility is provided for the design of the neck and handle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a toothbrush having an electromechanical device for generating motion housed in the head and fixed directly to the tufted portion of the head with bristles, the toothbrush with the electromechanical device The tufted portion of the head is connected by soft material to the lower portion of the head, which is connected to the neck and handle. Background technique [0002] A wide variety of powered toothbrushes using various drive mechanisms are known. Powered toothbrushes generally provide a better cleaning than manual toothbrushes and are generally more preferred by consumers. Most powered toothbrushes use a motor or actuator to generate motion, which is then transmitted to the tuft head through various shafts and drive mechanisms. Such motion is typically continuous rotation, oscillating rotation, or linear reciprocating or linear lateral motion. Other configurations use magnetic drives to generate motion that is al...
