Patent number: 9119695Abstract: A replaceable head part for an electric powered toothbrush comprising an elongate sleeve including a flexible portion, and containing a longitudinal drive shaft rotatable in oscillatory rotary motion. The drive shaft has a spherical bearing part received in a cavity in the sleeve. The head part incorporates a transmission system to convert the rotation of the head drive shaft into rotation of the bristle carrier comprising an eccentric pin extending from the head drive shaft to move the bristle carrier in oscillatory rotary motion, and having a spherical pin bearing part received in a receiving cavity in the bristle carrier.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2011Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare GMBH & CO.

Patent number: 7877832Abstract: An electrically powered toothbrush comprising a handle which contains an electric motor and power supply, a head part connected to the handle to be driven in motion by the electric motor by a transmission means between the motor and the oral head part. The head part is flexibly and resiliently connected to the handle such that the head part can move resiliently under pressure of the oral hygiene part against a tooth surface. The motor is moveably mounted within the handle and the assembly of motor and transmission means is pivotally connected to the handle at a pivot point between the brush head and the motor. Suitably the handle is in two parts with a flexible connection between the parts.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2004Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare GmbH & Co.
