Child's toothbrush

A method for configuring the use ends of the bristles of at least one bristle bundle in the fabrication of bristle products, including cutting the bristle bundle to a predetermined dimension and inserting it into the channel in a carrier, and bringing the use ends into a contact with a surface of a configuration plate having a configuration corresponding to the configuration of the use ends of the bristles of the bristle bundle, under gas pressure acting on bristle ends which are opposite to use ends.

Method of configuring bristle bundles

Toothbrush

A toothbrush formed of a handle, a neck and a bristle head. In order to allow the bristle head to move out of the way in the event of excessive brushing pressure being applied during toothbrushing, an elastic segment is provided between the handle and the bristle head. Injury to the gums, damage to the teeth and possibly to the tooth-holding means can be averted by the elastic flexure of the bristle head. The elastic segment is formed by one or more clearances, slots or slits at least partially filled with elastic polymeric/copolymeric plastic material.
