Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9749313A1] The invention relates to a brush, in particular a toothbrush, with a brush head and at least one bundle of flexible bristles. Preferably at least one support member for lateral support of at least one bristle bundle is provided on the brush head. The effective free length of the bristles of a bristle bundle is variable due to the profile of the bristle base inside the bristle bundle. The stability of the bristle bundle is consequently improved and the brush can be used for a longer period with sufficiently high flexibility of the bristles or bristle bundle. The invention also relates to a process for producing said brush.
