Abstract

The invention discloses an oral care implement which has a head with a front surface and a plurality of contact elements extending from the head. The plurality of contact elements are arranged in a pattern that may have the visual appearance of a flower. Specifically, the pattern may comprise a first set of contact elements arranged in a first loop about a reference axis and a second set of contact elements arranged in a second loop that surrounds the first loop. The pattern may also include a third set of contact elements arranged in a third loop that surrounds the second loop. Each of the contact elements of the first, second, and third sets may be inclined relative to the front surface of the head so as to diverge from the reference axis.

Description

Background technique [0001] The oral care implement industry is quite competitive, and innovation in oral care implements with desirable aesthetic characteristics can be economically beneficial to sellers of such products. Specifically, while oral care implements are increasingly being designed with cleaning elements or bristles that provide unique benefits, it is often the overall visual appearance of the oral care implement rather than its unique benefits that drives sales. Part of the reason is the difficulty in telling consumers that oral care implements provide specific benefits. Therefore, there is a need for an oral care implement that has a unique visual appearance and that easily communicates the benefits of using an oral care implement to consumers. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0002] In one aspect, the present invention may relate to an oral care implement having a head having a front surface and a plurality of contact elements extending from the head. The plurali...
