Abstract (en)
[origin: US4466150A] At the handle of a bristle carrier or support of a toothbrush there is rotatably mounted disk-shaped indicator element. This indicator element contains a scale-like indicia or markings composed of data symbols, especially date symbols, which are distributed at an essentially equidistant spacing from one another about the circumference of the indicator element. Each data marking designates the month of a year. At the bristle carrier or support there is applied a second marking or indicia in the form of a mark which is located opposite the markings or indicia provided at the indicator element. By rotating the indicator element it is possible to align that data mark of the markings of the indicator element with the marker at the bristle carrier which is representative of the date when the toothbrush has started to be used or the contemplated date for possibly replacing such toothbrush. The indicator element can be subsequently arrested in its selected or set date indicating position.
