  • Patent number: 10537169
    Abstract: A head for an oral care implement has at least a first row of tufts comprising a plurality of filaments having free ends and fixed ends being opposite the free ends and being fixed on a mounting surface of the head. The filaments of the at least first row of tufts extend from the mounting surface of the head in different length extensions thereby defining with the filaments' free ends an upper top cleaning surface in the form of a continuous wave-shape. The tufts of the at least first row are inclined with respect to the mounting surface.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10149532
    Abstract: A head for an oral care implement comprises at least a first row of tufts comprising a plurality of filaments having free ends and fixed ends being opposite the free ends and being fixed on a mounting surface of the head. The filaments of the at least first row of tufts extend from the mounting surface of the head in different length extensions thereby defining with the filaments' free ends an upper top cleaning surface in the form of a continuous wave-shape. Each filament has a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending in a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Each tuft of the at least first row comprises either filaments with a smaller cross-sectional area or filaments with a larger cross-sectional area, and the tufts are arranged in an alternating manner so that a tuft comprising filaments with the smaller cross-sectional area alternate with a tuft comprising filaments with the larger cross-sectional area.

The filaments of the at least first row of tufts extend from the mounting surface of the head in different length extensions thereby defining with the filaments' free ends an upper top cleaning surface in the form of a continuous wave-shape. Each filament has a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending in a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The filaments of the longest length extension have a cross-sectional area being smaller than the cross-sectional area of the filaments of the shortest length extension.
