Abstract: A toothbrush is disclosed having a handle portion and a head portion carrying or adapted to carry a bristle configuration. The handle has an end portion, a waist, a shoulder portion and a neck connecting the shoulder to the head. The waist is narrower, at least in plan view, than the end portion or the shoulder, and the end portion, preferably, is rounded. The bristle configuration is such that the teeth engaging ends of the bristles do not lie in a plane parallel to the surface of the head of the handle in which the bristles are embedded. In a first embodiment, the teeth engaging ends of at least a proportion of the bristles lie in a curved line when the toothbrush is viewed in side elevation. The curved line is provided by a mixture of concave groups of bristles and convex groups of bristles. In a second embodiment, the bristle configuration falls into at least two groups of bristles. The teeth engaging ends of the bristles of the first group, and the teeth engaging ends of the bristles of the second group, lie in curved lines when the toothbrush is viewed in side elevation. In a third embodiment, the teeth engaging ends of the bristles form a continuous wavy line. In a fourth embodiment, the teeth engaging ends of the bristles fall into two groups, a rearwardly located group, the castellated group, made up of transversely extending rows of bristles, the rows alternating in height, and a forwardly located group having at least some bristles extending further from the surface of the toothbrush head than any of the bristles of the castellated group.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种具有手柄部分和承载或适于承载刷毛配置的头部部分的牙刷。 手柄具有端部，腰部，肩部和将肩部连接到头部的颈部。 腰部至少在平面图中比端部或肩部更窄，并且端部优选是圆形的。 刷毛构造使得刷毛的啮合端部的牙齿不位于平行于手柄头部的表面的平面中，其中刷毛被嵌入其中。 在第一实施例中，当从侧视图观察牙刷时，至少一部分刷毛的牙齿接合端部位于曲线中。 曲线由刷毛组和刷毛组组成的混合物提供。 在第二实施例中，刷毛构型落入至少两组刷毛中。 第一组的刷毛接合端部的牙齿和第二组的刷毛的啮合端部的牙齿在侧视图中位于曲线上。 在第三实施例中，刷毛的啮合端形成连续的波浪线。 在第四实施例中，刷毛的啮合端部分成两组，即一组向后定位的组，即由疣状的组组成的横向延伸的刷毛行，高度交替排列，并且具有至少一些 刷牙从牙刷头表面比蓖体组的任何刷毛进一步延伸。
