Patent number: 8528147Abstract: An interdental brush comprises a brush member having bristle filaments attached to a spine which projects from a handle part. The handle part comprises a main body and a resilient transition portion. The handle part further comprises a hollow cavity, in the transition portion. The hollow cavity improves the cushioning effect of the transition portion, and increases the length of stroke of the interdental brush by allowing the transition portion to be deformed.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2007Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: TePe Munhygienprodukter ABInventors: Jan-Inge Larsson, Bengt Sare, Paul Wallstrom
