[0017]A first embodiment of an electric toothbrush according to the present invention will now be discussed.
[0018]Referring to FIG. 1, an electric toothbrush 10 includes a grip, or case 11, and a brush unit 12, which is detachably attached to the distal end of the case 11. The case 11 may be elongated and cylindrical. The case 11 accommodates a motor 13 and a battery 20, which supplies power supply voltage. A switch button 14 arranged on the case 11 is used to switch the motor 13 ON and OFF.
[0019]The motor 13 includes a rotary shaft 13a, which extends toward the distal end of the case 11 in the longitudinal direction of the case 11. An eccentric shaft 15 is attached to the rotary shaft 13a. The eccentric shaft 15 includes an elongated main shaft body 15a and a weight 15b, the center of gravity of which is deviated in the radial direction from the axis of the rotary shaft 13a. The weight 15b is attached to the distal end of the main shaft body 15a.
[0020]The eccentric shaft 15 is enc...

[0035]A second embodiment of the present invention will now be discussed. Like or same reference numerals are given to those components that are the same as the corresponding components of the first embodiment. Such components will not be described below.
[0036]Referring to FIG. 5, the battery 20 is connected via the switch button 14 to a constant voltage circuit 31, which functions as an oscillation amplitude regulation circuit. When the switch button 14 is switched ON, the constant voltage circuit 31 is supplied with power supply voltage from the battery 20. When the switch button 14 is switched OFF, the supply of power supply voltage to the constant voltage circuit 31 is stopped (cut).
[0037]The constant voltage circuit 31 is connected to the motor 13. The constant voltage circuit 31 converts the power supply voltage supplied from the battery 20 into a predetermined constant voltage and supplies the motor 13 with the constant voltage. The constant voltage supplied from the constant...

[0040]A third embodiment of the present invention will now be discussed.
[0041]Referring to FIG. 6, the motor 13 has one terminal connected to the positive terminal of the battery 20 and another terminal connected to the collector terminal of the transistor 21. The emitter terminal of the transistor 21 is connected to the negative terminal of the battery 20.
[0042]The battery 20 is connected to the power supply circuit 22. The power supply circuit 22 is connected to the control unit 23, which includes a CPU and a RAM. The power supply circuit 22 supplies the control unit 23 with drive voltage that is suitable for driving the control unit 23. The control unit 23 is connected to the battery 20 and detects the power supply voltage supplied from the battery 20 to the motor 13. A rotation speed detection circuit 41 is connected to the control unit 23 to detect the rotation speed of the motor 13. This allows for the control unit 23 to detect the rotation speed of the motor 13.
