Abstract (en)

The toothbrush has brush heads integrally disposed perpendicularly on opposite ends of a common handle. One brush head (12,18) has a concave shaped bristle surface connected to a bent end (16) of the handle and the other (13,19) with a convex shaped bristle surface is connected to the other end (17) to form a T-shape. Both brush heads slide tightly along a pair of tongues of the brush head holders integrally and perpendicularly attached to each end of the common handle. Thus the toothbrush heads stay in position while being used. Both heads have a pair of channels at their sides and a groove at their centre along their length with a slot at the centre to make them slidable, to their corresp. holders.
