Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0371293A2] The invention relates to a toothbrush with a deflecting part (4) which has a deflection profile and is positioned between brush head (1) and stem (5) for deflecting the brush head (1) when a certain contact pressure is reached. According to the invention the deflecting part (4) is a link (7), similar to a leaf spring, which connects the brush head (1) to the stem (5) and is covered at least on its front and back by a jacket (8) made of an elastomer. The elastomer is a natural or synthetic rubber, such as styrene-butadiene rubber, butyl rubber, ethylene rubber, propylene rubber, silicone rubber, or an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer or plasticized PVC.
