摘要:
A toothbrush handle, and toothbrush incorporating the same, wherein the handle comprises a stem to be slidably inserted into a refill head. An aperture in the stem defines a latch having a locking lug that operably mates with a locking lug of the refill head to axially retain the refill head to the handle. A resilient material seals the aperture to provide increased rigidity to the latch.

The toothbrush includes a drive assembly comprising a DC motor (12) driven by a battery (15) with a rotating drive shaft (16) extending from one end of the DC motor, on which is mounted an eccentric member (20) which rotates with the drive shaft. A spring assembly (24) includes a hub member (26) at a proximal end, a mount member (28) at a distal end and a V-spring member (41) mounted to and extending therebetween. The DC motor is fixed to a rear surface of the hub member, the motor and the hub member being free to move in unison in operation of the toothbrush. The mount member is fixed in position in the toothbrush. A brushhead shaft (38) is mounted to and extends between the hub member and the mount member and extends distally from the mount member. The brushhead shaft member is offset laterally from the axis of rotation of the motor drive shaft. A brushhead assembly (42), including a set of bristles (44), is removably mounted on the brushhead shaft.

An oral hygiene system for cleaning teeth and gums includes a mouthpiece having at least one arcuate channel adapted to receive and surround the teeth. The mouthpiece includes at least two modalities chosen from a group consisting of a mechanical modality, an iontophoretic modality, and a disinfection modality, wherein the mechanical modality brushes the teeth and gums and dislodges food debris, the iontophoretic modality breaks up plaque and tartar buildup, and the disinfection modality removes the food debris, plaque and tartar buildup. A control system coordinates the transmission of modalities, tracks and records utilization, recording completed and failed treatment cycles, and transmits them to a monitoring system. The monitoring system, which links to electronic medical administrating record (eMAR) technology and patient tracking technology (e.g., RFID sensors, electronic tags), facilitates compliance with recommended oral hygiene regimens and review of compliance by medical staff, assisted living staff, and/or caregivers.

A toothbrush includes a housing having a handle and a toothbrush head, a pump having a pump chamber and a pump impeller or pump gear arranged in the pump chamber, and a motor driving the impeller or pump gear. An input port and an output port are connected to the chamber, the impeller causing a flow of a working fluid through the output port when the impeller is driven by the motor and the working fluid is supplied through the input port. The pump chamber has a circumferential wall defining a transverse cross section, the output port being connected to the pump chamber through the circumferential wall.

The power appliance (10) for cleaning teeth includes a drive system (16) and a substrate (10) for supporting a field of bristles (14) which contact teeth for cleaning. The drive system is connected to the substrate, moving the substrate in operation to produce an action of the bristle field against the teeth. The assembly, which includes internal stiffeners (60, 62, 64) in one embodiment, has two physical states, including a first state in which the substrate is softened so as to be formable to conform to the geometry of the teeth, and a second hardened state following its conformance to the teeth in which the substrate is sufficiently rigid to effectively transmit a driving motion to the bristles.

An oral hygiene device includes a handle and a cleaning head supported on one end of the handle. A vibratory source is supported on the handle and is operative to generate vibratory output. A mounting element is disposed between the handle and the vibratory source. A connecting member extends between the vibratory source and the cleaning head, and is adapted to generate motion at the cleaning head in response to the vibratory output generated at the vibratory source.
摘要:
An electric toothbrush is described, comprising a vibrating brush head (20) and a main unit (6) with a vibrator motor (2) for transfer of vibrating power to the brush head (20), and also a battery (9) connected to an on/off switch (7) for operation of the vibrator motor (2). The vibrator motor (2) is not rigidly secured to the main unit (6) with help of a quick coupling (Ia), and that the vibrator motor (2) is at least partially contained in a rubber covering (5) that surrounds the main unit (6).

An oral hygiene implement includes a cleaning element carrier and a body. The body has a proximal end and a distal end. The cleaning element carrier has a first area and a second area wherein the second area is disposed inboard of the first area. The first area is attached to the body while the second area is unattached to the body. A bending element is disposed between the first area and the second area, thereby allowing the second area to bend/flex while the first area stays fixed to the body.

A resonant motor unit that has a resonant motor, a control unit, a measurement unit, and an evaluation unit is described. The control unit drives the resonant motor at a driving frequency, short-circuits the resonant motor during at least a first short-circuiting phase in successive driving cycles and concludes the first short-circuiting phases by switching off the current flow through the resonant motor at least at a predetermined first time instant within the driving cycles. The measurement unit successively measures at least a first voltage signal provided by the resonant motor at the predetermined first time instant, and the evaluation unit for determines whether the first voltage signal has changed between successive measurements.

The invention concerns a toothbrush with a handle and a bristle-carrying head part, which are connected to each other by a neck part, the head part having a multiplicity of tufts of bristles consisting of bristles. An anchor is oriented at right angles to the longitudinal axis. Two or more tufts of bristles have a bristle tuft half with bristle ends standing up higher in relation to the bristle ends of the other bristle tuft half.
