Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a toothbrush head with multiple through holes on both the top and bottom surfaces. This allows for easy removal of waterdrops and food residues, as well as air convection around the toothbrush head, which helps to quickly dry the head and reduce bacteria breeding.

Problems solved by technology

The moisture on the toothbrush head is hard to remove.
Furthermore, the bristles mounted on the center of the toothbrush head are prone to bacteria breeding due to the remaining moisture.
In addition, food residues easily remain in the gaps between the multiple bristles during tooth cleaning.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]With reference to FIG. 1, the first embodiment of the toothbrush head in accordance with the present invention comprises: a body 10, multiple cavities 11, multiple through holes 12, and a rubber layer 13.

[0019]With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, the body 10 is an elongated bar. The body 10 comprises a top surface 101 and a bottom surface 102. The top surface 101 is opposite to the bottom surface 102. The multiple cavities 11 are recessed into the top surface 101 at spaced intervals, and the multiple cavities 11 disconnect from one another. Multiple bristle units 14 are mounted in the multiple cavities 11 respectively. Tips of the bristle units 14 protrude from the top surface 101.

[0020]The multiple through holes 12 are defined through the top surface 101 and the bottom surface 102 directly. Each of the multiple through holes 12 is adjacent to each of the multiple cavities 11 in the body 10. In the first embodiment, a number of the multiple cavities 11 is larger than a number of t...

Abstract

A toothbrush head has a body, multiple cavities, and multiple through holes. The body is an elongated bar and further has a top surface and a bottom surface. The multiple cavities are recessed into the top surface at spaced intervals. Multiple bristle units are respectively mounted in the multiple cavities. The multiple through holes are formed on the body. The multiple through holes are adjacent to the multiple cavities. The multiple through holes are defined through the top surface and the bottom surface directly. The multiple through holes are utilized to remove the moisture and the food residues easily. Furthermore, the multiple through holes may also increase air convection around the toothbrush head. The toothbrush head may be air-dried fast and avoid bacteria breeding effectively.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to an oral cleaning tool and more particularly to a toothbrush head.2. Description of the Related Art[0002]A conventional manual toothbrush for dental care comprises a toothbrush head and a handle. The toothbrush head connects to the handle directly. Multiple bristles are mounted on the toothbrush head. Users can pick up the handle and put the toothbrush head into the mouth to clean their oral cavities. Tooth, gaps between the teeth, and gingiva may be cleaned by the multiple bristles on the toothbrush head.[0003]Moisture may remain on the bristles after tooth cleaning. The conventional manual toothbrush comprises cavities to receive the bristles on the toothbrush head. Other portions of the conventional manual toothbrush are solid. The moisture on the toothbrush head is hard to remove. Furthermore, the bristles mounted on the center of the toothbrush head are prone to bacteria breeding due to th...
