The movable part of vibration may move inwards and outwards towards and from the outer surface of the head. Mobile part can swing back and forth along the outer surface of the head. The movable part can continuously rotate in the same direction, not fluctuate. Any fit the drive mechanism can be used for the message of the desired movement of the mobile unit. In that case, which uses a lot of moving parts, all moving parts may have the same type and direction of motion, or can be used in combination of various movements.

In accordance with one aspect of this invention cleaning elements may be in the form of bristles made from conventional materials, such as nylon, and also from a combination of materials to ensure appropriate levels of cost-effective manner. For example, cleaning items can be made of flexible elastic material, such as thermoplastic elastomer, and less expensive material, such as linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate (EVA), or thermoplastic elastomer. Cleaning items can be made from a mixture of thermoplastic elastomer and or linear low density polyethylene, or a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, or polypropylene. Preferably two materials combined to provide rigidity, which is less than 600 MPa. A mixture of materials allows us to give the properties of ordinary nylon bristles, while providing a reduced cost. For example, lower production costs have in place when using die casting instead of a regular manufacturing technology beams setae. Alternatively, elastic material may be one material such as solid thermoplastic elastomer (for example, shore hardness, accounts for 80 units on a scale of A), net linear low-density polyethylene or net copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate.

Cleaning items can be of any given shape. For example, cleaning items can have a cylindrical shape with the same diameter throughout their length. Alternatively, cleaning items may shrink from the base of each cleaning element in the place where he speaks of the heads 12 to their exterior cleaning the end. Because the preferred implementation of inventions in practice implies running a small light toothbrush, the dimensions of the various elements toothbrush 10 preferably small. Thus, for example, each cleaning item can be outwards from the outer surface of a cleaning unit 22 at a distance not exceeding 10 mm and preferably not exceeding 8 mm, and most preferably not exceeding 6 mm In that case, when used tapering cleaning items, base diameter must not exceed 1.5 mm, preferably should not exceed 1 mm, most preferably should not exceed 0,7 mm, or must not exceed 0.5 mm, or should not exceed 0,3 mm In this case, the diameter can be reduced in magnitude at not more than 0.2 mm, at a distance not exceeding 6 mm, from the Foundation of the cleaner element. Reducing the diameter of the largest in some place, situated at a distance from the base, may be with a limit not exceeding 1 mm, at a distance not exceeding 10 mm, preferably not more than 0,6 mm at a distance not exceeding 8 mm, most preferably should not exceed 0.2 mm at a distance not exceeding 6 mm Preferably length of the entire toothbrush 10 does not exceed 5 inches, preferably not exceed 4 inches or more preferably not exceed 3.75, or 3, or 2.5 inches, and can be in the range from 2 to 4 inches.

As illustrated in figure 1 and 4, cleaning elements define the boundaries of the cleaning zone in the head, and item 32 enshrined within the cleaning zone. Cleaning items 26 preferably jut out from the cleaning unit 22 so that they are approximately at the same level with the outer surface of the ball or gel capsules 32, as shown in figure 4. However, the invention may also be implemented in practice in such a variant, in which cleaning elements of the act or for a longer distance, or a smaller distance than item 32. Since it is assumed that a toothbrush 10 should be as small and light, it is preferable that the toothbrush 10 weighed no more than 3 grams. Small size is such that it can be fully maintained within the palm of an adult user. Head 12 has a size, which corresponds to the size of a single tooth or a tooth and zones. Head 12 can be done from any suitable form, and it has preferably a round or oval in shape, with a maximum cross-sectional dimension or diameter not exceeding 13 mm, preferably not exceeding 12 mm and most preferably not exceeding 11 mm In the case when the head 12 has form, its diameter is 14 mm

As shown in figure 2, the head of the 12 preferably is at an angle ranging from 0 to 90°, to the longitudinal axis of the handle 14. Preferred angle ranges from 20 to 70 degrees and more preferably from + 30 degrees to 60 degrees. Cleaning items can be perpendicular to the outer surface of the head 12 or may also be at an angle to the outer surface, for example, angle, are in the range from 60 up to 90 or in the range from 75C up to 90 degrees.

Despite the fact that were are certain parameters and characteristics of cleaning materials, the invention can be implemented in practice, in the version in which other cleaning items do not have a data parameters and characteristics.

Figure 5-6 shows the other embodiments of the invention in practice, in which cleaning elements are in the form of a single mass, having a rough outer surface. As shown in figure 5, the weight of 34 similar to "metal (steel wool), which is used to clean the home, or it could be a part of structures of type Velcro®, such as hooks or loops.

Figure 6 illustrates the case in which the cleaning item 36 formed from a single mass of the foam material for cotton wool, which can be used as a tampon for material for oral care. The outer surface of the pad on the merits may be flat or may have a surface roughness. In this implementation, inventions in practice, cleaning item 36 can be impregnated material for oral care or can be immersed in the material for oral health care to absorb the material, and thereby cleaning item 36 will also operate as a element for oral care. Such cleaning elements of the type are acceptable for children, especially infants.

The invention can be implemented in practice in the form of a variant in which the various components toothbrush 10 segmented for the manufacture and Assembly. Such segmented components can be joined together with the possibility of separation in order to provide the possibility of changing components, resulting in the possibility of replacing the various components in combination. Thus, the head of the 12 can be attached to the handle 14 with the possibility of disconnection. Figure 7, for example, is illustrated head 12, subject to securing the handle of 14, with the possibility of disconnection through the element of 38 to connect with snap, who may be any suitable structure, which is known to the ordinary specialists in this field of technology.

The idea of demountable connection can also be used in cases, when item 32 loose in the head 12 with the possibility of disconnection or when a vehicle for oral care, such as a toothpick 16 is attached to the handle of 14, with the possibility of disconnection. Thus, as described below in connection with the fig.12 and 13, toothbrush and its various components can be Packed in a way that one and the same packaging will include many toothbrushes and/or a variety of components, such as head, elements or tools.

On Fig.8 shows the additional option of performing the invention to practice in which a piezoelectric crystal 40 stipulated in the handle 14 where it connects to the head 12 to cause vibration heads 12 during use. Alternatively, head 12 can be attached to the rotating axis, serving from the handle and with eccentric load on the axis to cause vibration head.

Although figure 1-3 adjuvant 16 for oral care illustrated in the form of a toothpick, other types of AIDS 42, similar to the one shown schematically in figure 9. As illustrated in this figure, such a tool 42 will be attached to the end of the handle 14 similar fastening toothpicks 16. Similar fastening can be done with the possibility of separation or may be permanent. Examples of such tools for the oral cavity care include devices for cleaning your tongue, or brush for cleaning zones. Similarly, adjuvant can constitute a means or the foamed type is similar to cleaning item 36 6 or can be a single mass rough material, similar to a cleaner element 34 figure 5.

Figure 10 shows another variant of the invention, in which toothbrush is specially adapted for the use of its children. Such use can be improved with the implementation of any relevant decorative overlay or cartoons 44 on the toothbrush, for example, on the handle or in any other appropriate place, including the rear side head. Such decorative overlay 44 can be attached with the possibility of disconnection, so that the child can hold it after throwing the rest of the toothbrush. Other features of the invention which make it desirable for use by children include the issuance of various types of materials for oral health care, including materials with a special taste (perfumes) substances, materials, causing numbness tooth, materials, reducing sensitivity, or different drugs.

Toothbrush can also be performed in different parts of the toothbrush. For example, soft elastomer 18 may be made with another, for example, with a contrasting color in relation to the rest of the handle 14, which is made of hard material. Similarly, the head of the 12 can be performed with color, different from the color of a rigid part of the handle and/or soft elastomer parts of 18. Cleaning items 26 can be performed with special (clearly different colors, and item 32 may also be executed with the special color. In accordance with the above auxiliary means, such as a toothpick 16 or other auxiliary tool 42, may be performed by a special color. These different colors can be contrasted with each other and complementary. Thus, for example, different colors can only slightly different in colour or shade.

Figure 11 illustrates another variant of realization of the invention in practice, in which the handle is 14 has hollow camera 46, which may contain material for oral care. Luggage 46 leads to the channel 48, which runs up to the head of 12, for example, ends with many branches 49 at the outer surface of the head 12 within the cleaning zone. For the issuance of the material for oral care, located in a chamber or vessel 46 handle, 14 will be of sufficient firmness to her squeeze, thereby squeezing the material from the pen to the valves in cavity or into one or more holes.

Any suitable products for oral hygiene can be issued from the element. These products include, but is not limited to, gel capsule 32 of the type outlined above, and they may contain toothpaste, tooth powder, or can be a small vessel (ampoule, vial etc) with a solution to rinse the mouth with gel, powder or liquid, but such products are not limited to the above. Similar receptacle can be separately included in the package containing the toothbrush. Materials can be flavored and may be provided in kits with different (taste) substances and/or with different properties, such as drugs, materials, causing numbness, etc.

In that case, when 32 elements are made in the form of balls, different balls or capsules can be used with different colors/ substances to improve the degree of attractiveness to the consumer. As described, capsule 32 may constitute soaked ball bursts. To fit balls are those supplied by Mane Inc.

Any suitable methods can be used for education toothbrush 10 and its various components. For example, pressure casting multiple components may be used to link different components, such as cleaning items and head and/or pen with the formation of a single whole. This can be accomplished with the use of automated or multi-stage process. The handle can be obtained by means of the centrifugal casting and for education hollow pen that will fit in embodiment, shown in figure 11.

On fig.12-13 shows the different ways tooth-brushes in accordance with the present invention. As shown, for example, on fig.12, a package of 50 can contain many toothbrushes 10, that all may be the same or different from each other. Packing 50 can have any usual construction, such as blister packing, which may include the hole 52 to ensure the possibility of suspension packaging for the purposes of offering for sale.

On fig.13 is illustrated version, in which the packaging 54 includes one or more toothbrushes 10 and many other components 56, which may constitute an auxiliary aid or elements or other components. Components may include a small vessel with a solution to rinse the mouth. Preferably packing 50 or 54 is hermetically sealed to ensure freshness. Such hermetic sealing particularly desirable to prevent the ingress of moisture in a gel capsule 32 and the situation when the capsule bursts.

Obviously, in accordance with the present invention created a toothbrush for oral care, that preferably has small size and is portable and can be conveniently used away from home in circumstances such as travel (trip), when the water is not readily available.
