Abstract

Flexibler Bürstenkopf (14) für eine Zahnbürste (10) mit einem Borstenträger (16), der aus einem ersten, harten, elastischen Kunststoff besteht und durch quer zur Längsachse des Bürstenkopfes (14) verlaufende Tunnel (20) in Längsrichtung des Bürstenkopfes (14) hintereinander angeordnete Segmente (17) unterteilt ist. Die Segmente (17) des Borstenträgers (16) und die Tunnel (20) erstrecken sich vorzugsweise über die gesamte Breite des Bürstenkopfes (14). Die Tunnel (20) sind mit einem zweiten, weichen, elastischen Kunststoff ausgefüllt und über eine seitlich am Borstenträger (16) vorgesehene Nut (30) miteinander verbunden. Die Bereiche (22, 22') des Borstenträgers (16), die die Tunnel (20) auf der borstentragenden Seite des Bürstenkopfes (14) und auf der letzterer gegenüberliegenden Seite begrenzen, sind elastisch deformierbar und wirken bei einer beim Gebrauch erfolgenden Auslenkung der Borstenträgersegmente (17) als Biegebegrenzung.
