- FIG. 13 shows the toothbrush according to FIG. 12 in view
- Fig. 15 the toothbrush according to Fig. 12 in bottom view.
- a manual toothbrush 1 the longitudinal axis of which is designated L in FIG. 1, has a front bristle-bearing head part 2 and a rear handle 3. From the head part 2, only a bristle carrier 4 can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, which is provided with a number of depressions 5, which are provided for anchoring tufts of bristles known per se.
- the handle 3 is divided over at least part of its length into two parts 6, 7 extending in the longitudinal direction of the toothbrush.
- the lower part 6 of the handle 3 is optionally connected to the head part 2 or formed in one piece with the bristle carrier 4.
- the second part of the handle 3 is formed by an upper cover part 7.
- the upper handle part 7 could also be designed in one piece with the bristle holder.
- the upper cover part 7 is preferably provided with a depression 9 forming a thumb rest.
- the two Handle parts 6, 7 shown individually in FIG. 3 are connected to one another, preferably welded, the two parts 6 ′ , 7 enclosing a cavity 8 extending in the longitudinal direction of the toothbrush 1 (cf. FIGS. 4, 5 and 6).
- at least one of the two parts 6, 7 has a bowl-shaped cross section.
- the handle 3 according to the invention divided over at least part of its length into two parts 6, 7 enclosing a cavity 8, can be designed to be relatively wide, which results in better grip without the toothbrush becoming too massive.
- the grip can also be improved by choosing a suitable material for the two parts 6, 7.
- the lower part 6 and the cover part 7 can also be made of different materials.
- the lower part 6 can be made of a harder material than the cover part 7.
- the cover part 7 or the lower part 6 can be made entirely or partially of an elastically flexible material. In this case it is also possible to fill the cavity 8 with an elastic material.
- the two handle parts 6, 7 can be manufactured from a visually different material (for example different colors of both parts, which can be the same material or different materials).
- One or both parts can also be partially or completely transparent or translucent.
- the cavity 8 can be decorated with decorative or play objects such as e.g. Snowflakes or figures can be filled.
- the cavity 8 can, however, also be filled with a liquid, which can also contain suspended objects, for example (of course, sealing of the cavity 8 is then essential, which takes place in a manner described below).
- the cavity 8 can also be filled with a gas.
- cover part 7 transparent and to provide the surface of the lower part 6 visible from above with an image or a label, e.g. to print on.
- the cavity 8 can also contain a metal filling.
- the cover part 7, but also the lower part 6, can advantageously be produced from a multi-component material, for example by injection molding.
- This solution not only offers decorative options for improving the aesthetic effect, but also enables optimization of the elastic properties that are important for better grip.
- 7 to 10 show a further exemplary embodiment of a manual toothbrush 1 ', the handle 3 of which in turn has a lower part 6 and an upper part.
- Cover part 7 comprises.
- the depression 9 provided for the thumb rest is preferably filled with a soft thermoplastic elastomer.
- the upper cover part 7 is equipped with one or more, possibly with six downwardly directed cams 11, which are pressed into corresponding openings 12 of the lower part 6 when the two handle parts 6, 7 are joined together, in the end position 8 protrude sealingly and protrude slightly on the lower outside.
- a single cam or pin could be attached, the cross section of which e.g. 7, and which protrudes into a hole of the same cross section in the other part 7 or 6 and extends to the outside of the same.
- the two handle parts 6, 7 can also be equipped with a hole opening into the cavity 8 (for example the teardrop-shaped cross section in the shape of the depression 9 according to FIG. 7), which preferably seals by a membrane made of rubber-like material is completed.
- the handle in the plane labeled B in FIG. 2 may have the cross-sectional shape shown in FIG.
- a hole 10 is present in the upper cover part 7, and the cavity 8 is closed off by a membrane 13, which - similar to the cams or pins described above - contributes to comfortable handling.
- the membrane 13 also brings about improved elasticity.
- the material of the membrane and its dimensions have a decisive influence on the flexibility of the handle.
- the elasticity of the upper cover part 7 can be improved in that in this part 7 a wedge-like recess 14 running transversely to the longitudinal axis L is formed and filled with a rubber-like material, for example a thermoplastic elastomer, whereby a Art joint arises (designated in Fig. 7 to 9 with 15).
- a rubber-like material for example a thermoplastic elastomer
- the two handle parts 6, 7 are preferably welded to one another at the contact lines, the cavity 8 being sealed off at the weld lines.
- the outer edge that occurs during the welding process due to overlap can be covered with a skin made of rubber, which not only brings additional sealing, but also means a hygienic improvement, since no impurities can accumulate on the welding lines.
- the two handle parts 6, 7 can, however, also be joined together in the manner of a snap connection which is preferably undetachable by hand, the snap connection likewise acting in a sealing manner.
- the upper cover part 7 with a sealing edge 17 made of thermoplastic Be equipped elastomer as shown in Figs. 8 and 9.
- the connection of the two handle parts 6, 7 can also be done by gluing.
- FIGS. 12 to 15 A variant in which the cavity 8 can be reliably sealed at all points by welding, even if on one of the two handle parts 6, 7 the cams 11 or pins protruding from the cavity 8 and the other handle parts 7, 6 are made of soft material Material, for example an elastically resilient thermoplastic elastomer, is shown in FIGS. 12 to 15.
- the upper lid part 7 is provided in its rear region with a downward, sleeve-shaped projection 20 which extends in the longitudinal direction of the handle 3 and which has an outer wall 21 and an inner wall 22 and is oval in cross section.
- the inner wall 22 encloses an inner space which projects through the cover part 7 at right angles to its longitudinal axis and which is filled with the elastically flexible material which forms a grip cushion 24.
- the cover part 7 provided with the projection 20 and the handle cushion 24 are produced, for example, in the multi-component injection molding process.
- the grip cushion 24 has an upper grip surface 25 and a lower grip surface 26.
- the lower part 6 is provided with an opening 27 which corresponds in cross section to the outer shape or the outer wall 21 of the projection 20.
- the projection 20 inserted into the opening 27 and filled with the handle cushion 24 made of softer material is also welded to the lower part 6, as a result of which the cavity 8 is also sealed at this point.
- the two grip surfaces 25, 26 are aesthetically adapted to the outer shape of the handle 3.
- cams 11 made of soft material and known from FIGS. 8 and 9 can also be accommodated in corresponding sleeve-shaped projections 30 (cf. FIG. 14) of one handle part 7, which in associated openings 12 of the other handle Part 6 are used and welded to it, which also ensures the sealing of the cavity 8 here.
- the toothbrush according to the invention is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
- the hollow shape of the handle 3 means material savings.
- the upper cover part 7 and / or the lower part 6 can be injected using the one, two or more component method. Since the two handle parts 6, 7 are thin-walled parts, the time for the injection molding process can be reduced during production using the injection molding process.
- the handle according to the invention can of course also be used in other toothbrush types than shown in the drawing, e.g. for toothbrushes whose head part is equipped with one or two interchangeable brush heads.
