Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toothbrush consisting of a brush handle and an adjoining brush head.
  • Such toothbrushes usually have an elongated flat brush handle, to which a brush head or a connecting web carrying the brush head connects at an angle.
  • Known toothbrushes sometimes have troughs or ridges on the lower and / or upper flat side of the brush handle, in or against which the index finger and or thumb are supported when handling the toothbrush while brushing the teeth. Since adults, adolescents and children have fingers of different sizes and therefore different grip positions than those specified by the protrusions or recess would make sense and would have to make the toothbrush easier to handle, since there is currently only the possibility of buying small or large toothbrushes, Inconveniences in handling the known toothbrushes are tolerated.
  • the handle slide and 1 or the brush handle preferably have guide elements for mutual guidance.
  • a preferred embodiment is that the handle slide does not have a closed cross section and its free ends are pre-stressed in such a way that it is held clamped on the brush handle.
  • the toothbrush shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a brush handle 1.
  • the brush handle 1 has a rectangular cross section with parallel edges.
  • At one end of the brush handle 1 there is an intermediate support 2 at an angle, which carries the brush head 3.
  • a handle slide 4 is slidably mounted on the brush handle 1.
  • FIG. 3 various exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in section, the brush handle 1 is shown hatched.
  • the embodiment of the handle slide according to FIGS. 3a and d has a profile which is closed on all sides. Such handle slide 4 must be pushed from the free end of the brush handle.
  • FIGS. 4b, c Further embodiments of the handle slide 4 can be U-shaped and can be placed or pushed onto the brush handle laterally or from above or from below (see FIGS. 4b, c).
  • the legs with the free ends of the U-shaped slider 4 can be under tension so that the legs are slightly apart when placed on the brush handle 1 and thus sit on the brush handle 1 after being pushed.
  • the handle slide 4 can have inwardly directed guide strips 5 which can be inserted into correspondingly designed and assigned longitudinal grooves 6 in the brush handle 1.
  • the free ends of the Legs can also have locking projections 7 (see FIG. 3i) which are supported on the fourth side of the brush handle 1.
  • the brush handles shown are essentially of rectangular cross section. However, it is possible to provide any other rounded, triangular or polygonal outer cross sections for the brush handles 1 and corresponding inner cross sections for the handle slides movable thereon.
  • the handle slide 4 itself can, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, have simple rectangular surfaces. However, it is also possible to design its surface, if appropriate also its lower surface and the side surfaces differently, as can be seen, for example, from FIGS. 4a-f, where circular, part-circular, convex or concave shapes or elongated handle slides with cut open circular surfaces or used in it, e.g. different colored buttons according to Fig. 4e and 4f are shown.
  • the surfaces of the handle slide 4 can be curved, but also structured, e.g. be corrugated. It is also possible to provide the handle slides with projections or depressions in which a wide variety of decorative and / or identification and / or advertising plates, buttons or curved elements, which can be exchanged, can be fastened. This and the handle slide itself provide a wide range of color options in a simple manner, since the toothbrush handle and handle slide and possibly insert plate or the like can have different colors, which is otherwise only possible with considerable technical effort in conventional toothbrushes.
  • the handle slide or, correspondingly, the brush handle should be designed such that they are difficult to move against one another, which is due to the choice of material and / or structure and / or low dimensional tolerances and / or higher clamping forces can be achieved.
