Benefits of technology

The invention is a toothbrush that cleans the surfaces of teeth more effectively by reducing dead angles and improving oral hygiene. It uses a special material called gel that fills the gap between the head and tuft plate, preventing impurities and scraps from entering. This helps prevent bacterial nourishment and makes tooth brushing easier.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the bristle tufts, which are not able to perfectly match the surfaces of teeth, inevitably leave certain unreachable dead angle and fail to furbish all the surfaces of the teeth.
Thus the conventional toothbrush may instead jeopardize oral hygiene.

[0023]With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the toothbrush in accordance with the present invention has a handle 1, a head assembly 10 and a gel 20. With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the head assembly 10 is formed at an end of the handle 1 and comprises a head plate 11, a tuft plate 12 and a linker member 13. The head plate 11 and the tuft plate 12 are correspondingly integrated. The tuft plate 12 has an outer surface and multiple bristle tufts 14 mounted on the outer surface. The linker member 13 is formed between the tuft plate 12 and the head plate 11. A gap 15 is formed between the head plate 11, the tuft plate 12 and the linker member 13. Preferably, the head plate 11, the tuft plate 12 and the linker member 13 are integrated as a unified module. More preferably, the tuft plate 12 has multiple tuft holes 121 recessed in the outer surface of the tuft plate 12. The bristle tufts 14 are respectively planted in the tuft holes 121. Most preferably, a through hole 122 is defined through the...

The linker member is formed between the tuft plate and the head plate. A gap is formed between the head plate, the tuft plate and the linker member. The gel is mounted on the head assembly and has a cushion portion embedded in the gap of the head assembly.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a toothbrush, especially to a toothbrush capable of slight bending and wobbling for applying an enhanced hygiene effect on a tooth surface.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]As an indispensible oral-hygiene task of everyday life, tooth brushing eliminates food residues and dental plaques and stimulates the gums so as to facilitate circulation and to strengthen the pathogen-resisting abilities of tissues. A toothbrush is an instrument for tooth brushing. The fact that using a well-designed toothbrush provides significant oral hygiene effects has indicated the importance of toothbrushes.[0005]Teeth are solid objects whose surfaces are not flat, while the tufted bristles of a toothbrush head are also solid in terms of abutting against the teeth, even though individual filaments of the bristles are resilient. As a result, the bristle tufts, which are not able to perfectly match the s...
