Toothbrush

A toothbrush includes an elongate handle stem and a brush head which is connected to the handle stem. The brush head carries a bristle array which contains a plurality of bristle bundles which, in order to improve the cleaning effect, in particular in the interdental spaces, have a plurality of bristle bundles attached to an outer edge of the bristle array, which have a diameter of between 0.8 and 1.2 mm and/or are formed from microfilaments with a diameter of 4 to 6 mils, the usage end of which tapers to a tip.

A feeding device for feeding batches of bristle filaments to a bristle filament cassette includes a vertical magazine and at least one batch of bristle filaments arranged therein. In order to prevent individual bristle filaments from being pressed out of the batch of bristle filaments and to provide an ecologically optimized device, the batch of bristle filaments is held in a reusable and circumferentially enclosed batch carrier. A tufting device with the feeding device of a bristle filament cassette and a transfer device between the bristle filament cassette and the feeding device are provided. A corresponding method for fitting a brush is also provided.
