Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03051225A1] The invention relates to a toothbrush drive shaft with a shaft piece on which lies a force transmission piece, in particular an eccentric crank piece. The invention further relates to a method for the production of said drive shaft, whereby the force transmission piece and the shaft piece are separately produced and subsequently joined together. According to the invention, the force transmission piece is produced by bending a wire in part to form a helical wound body and pushing the same onto the shaft piece such as to surround the shaft piece and sit thereon in a fixed manner.
