Definitions

  • This invention relates to toothbrushes and, more particularly, to a toothbrush wherein the brush is mounted resiliently and yieldably for flexing action to the distal end of the handle.
  • This invention is of an improved type of mounting in combination with a brush and toothbrush handle where- , c in "the brush is adapted for rotatable and tilting movement, two embodiments being described.
  • Figure 1 is a side elevation view of a tooth ⁇ brush in accordance with the first embodiment of this invention
  • Figure 2 is an enlarged view partly in cross r. c section of the right-hand portion of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is an end view of the device shown in Figure 1;
  • Figure 4 is a top plan view of the device shown in Figures 1 and 2;
  • Figure 5 is a side elevational view., similar to Figure 1, in accordance with the second embodiment of the invention.
  • 5 Figure 6 is a fragmentary enlarged view of the right-hand portion of Figure 5;
  • Figure 7 is an end view of the device illus ⁇ trated in Figures 1 and 2;
  • Figure 8 is a top plan view of the device of -i Q Figures 1 and 2.
  • the toothbrush is generally desig ⁇ nated by the numeral 12. It is seen that it has an elongate handle 14 with a proximal end zone 16 and a distal end zone 18. On the distal end zone a brush
  • the brush 20 20 is mounted spaced slightly inward, that is, adja ⁇ cent the terminal end.
  • the brush includes a base 24 of predetermined length and with an upper surface 25 from which an array of bristles 28 extend being secured to the base in upstanding relation.
  • the 5 brush base has a second surface 30 which faces toward the handle, that is oppositely from the surface from which the brushes extend.
  • the brush base has a central recess 31 extending toward the surface from which the brushes extend. With respect to the handle, 0 the distal end zone is provided with a recess 51 in the face 40.
  • a coil spring 44 which has an upper end 46 and a lower end 48 is utilized to connect the brush to the handle in the manner shown.

  • the toothbrush is generally designated by the numeral 12'. It is seen that it has an elongate handle 14' with a proximal end zone 16' and a distal - end zone 18'. On the distal end zone a brush 20' is mounted spaced slightly inward, that is, adjacent the terminal end.
  • the brush includes a base 24' of predetermined length and with an upper surface 26' from which an array of bristles 28 ! extend being secured to the base in upstanding relation in a conventional manner.
  • the brush base has an opposite surface 30' which faces toward the handle, that is, oppositely from the surface from which the brushes extend.
  • the brush has a central zone 31' from which the bristle array extends.
  • the distal end zone is provided with a recess 51' in the face 40', which recess is somewhat elongate, that is, having a generally longer radius of curvature than does the recess 51 of the first embodiment.
  • a coil spring 44' which has an upper end 46' and a lower end 48' is utilized to connect the brush to the handle in the manner shown. It is seen that the upper end is secured to the brush and fixed thereto while the lower end of the spring is fixed to and carried by the distal end zone of the handle.
  • the coil spring includes a portion which extends from the coils of the spring longitudinally of and in an embedded relation in the distal end zone of the handle, this portion of the spring being designated by the numeral 53. It will be seen that the base with the brush is adapted for rotation about the axis of the spring and for tilting and rocking motion as is indicated in the drawings by the arrowed lines in the second embodiment as well as in the first embodiment.
