Embodiment Construction

[0028] Referring to the attached drawings, first of all Figure 1 to Figure 4 , a preferred embodiment of the interdental toothbrush of the present invention is marked 1 . The interdental toothbrush comprises a brush part 2 and a handle part 3 .

[0029]The brush part 2 of the interdental toothbrush 1 comprises a spine 4 and a plurality of bristle filaments 5 secured to the ends of the spine 4 . With regard to the choice of material and the means for securing the bristle filaments 5 to the spine 4, various options are possible. In a preferred embodiment, the spine 4 is made of a metal wire covered with plastic, which is crimped to cooperate with the bristle filaments 5 made of polyamide. Crimping as known in the art involves folding a length of thread into a spine 4 with two legs, placing the bristle filament 5 between the two legs along the length of the end of the spine 4, and crimping the spine 4 , thus the bristle filaments 5 are fixed between the legs of the spine 4 . ...

Abstract

An interdental brush comprises a brush member (2) having bristle filaments (5) attached to a spine (4) which projects from a handle part (3). The handle part (3) comprises a main body and a resilient transition portion (7). The handle part (3) further comprises a hollow cavity (20), in the transition portion (7). The hollow cavity (20) improves the cushioning effect of the transition portion (7),and increases the length of stroke of the interdental brush by allowing the transition portion (7) to be deformed.

Background technique [0002] Interdental toothbrushes have been in use for quite some time. One of the earlier documents in the prior art is US-A-4691404, which discloses an interdental toothbrush comprising a brush portion having bristles secured to spines of crimped metal wires. The ridge is embedded in a handle made of a mixture of thermoplastic elastomer and polypropylene material. The brush portion...
