Toothbrush handles

The invention relates to toothbrush handles which are provided wholly or partially with a coating on one or both sides are.

Toothbrush handles are usually made of a suitable plastic and can come in all possible colors are manufactured. With these plastic materials it is often observed that the surface of the toothbrush handle does not shows the desired high gloss or its surface brilliance quickly loses when using the toothbrush, which is also due to the action of various substances contained in toothpastes can be conditional. According to the invention, this deficiency is now remedied by the fact that the toothbrush handles partially, for example on the eye-catching surface or on both sides, with a coating, preferably by means of a Metal or colored foil. These foils can be monochrome or multicolored and, if desired, in the form of fonts, Images or patterns. They are resistant to the substances commonly used in toothpastes and guarantee them the desired high gloss. In addition, the application of such decorative coatings also creates an additional aesthetic effect achieved.

When using appropriate foils, there is also the option of To improve the physical properties of the toothbrush handles, such as stiffness or torsional strength and to make production more economical. This not only saves plastic raw material, but also the Manufacturing process can be accelerated, since a smaller material thickness reduces the cooling times in the injection molding or similar processing forms significantly lowers.

Another possibility of applying the coatings according to the invention on toothbrush handles is to <?. these with permanent to equip adhesive, waterproof self-adhesive films. However, since this procedure is relatively profitable, it is only suitable for the production of smaller series.

The dimensional stability properties of the films used as a coating to be applied to the toothbrush handles must of course be based on the properties of the plastic material, from which the toothbrush handles are made, be largely coordinated.
