Abstract: An electrical toothbrush head includes a toothbrush body and an insertion piece that includes a core channel and a sideway slot in which an elastic bar is arranged. The core channel has a contact engagement surface. The elastic bar has a curved section. When the vibration core is inserted into the core channel, the contact engagement surface and the curved section respectively contact and engage with core side surfaces of the vibration core, and the elastic bar is pushed to elastically deform away from the contact engagement surface. When the electrical toothbrush head and the toothbrush handle are combined, the vibration core is clamped between the contact engagement surface and the curved section and the elastic bar deforms outward and the elastic filler block is compressed, such that the elastic filler block and the elastic bar cause the curved section to be in elastic engagement with the vibration core.

Abstract: A toothbrush includes a head with a new design and a handle that operates to move the head. The toothbrush head has multiple types of purpose-designed bristle-bundles precisely mapped to target specifically all dental-gingival surfaces and anatomically niches, including various dead-corner niches/surfaces that are usually not accessible by currently existing toothbrushes. Each cluster of bristle-bundles contains bristles of different sizes, diameters, hardness, lengths, angulations and colors. The head is designed to be inclined to accommodate both lingual and palatal surfaces. This toothbrush head also functions uniquely by coupling over dental arches and rotating so that the brush does not need to be lifted during movement from one end to the other. Further, moving the handle with respect to the brush head causes the width of the brush head to change to accommodate the different widths of the teeth along the dental arch.

Abstract: This document also discloses a member for mounting a toothbrush head to an electric toothbrush. The member includes a base having an opening for receiving a drive shaft of an electric toothbrush. The member also includes a coupling section that includes a cylindrical sidewall that surrounds a cavity for receiving the drive shaft. The member includes a spring in the coupling section. The spring is positioned to transfer vibration from the drive shaft to the toothbrush head when operated.
