Patent number: 11122882Abstract: An oral care implement comprises a head and a handle, the head having a length extension and the handle having a length extension, the length extension of the head and the handle together defining an overall length extension of the oral care implement along a longitudinal axis. The overall length extension of the oral care implement is from about 194 mm to about 197 mm and the ratio of the length extension of the handle to the overall length extension of the oral care implement is from about 0.59 to about 0.65.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: The Gillette Company LLCInventors: Armin Tschol, Benedikt Heil, Aycan Senturk Andersson, Stephanie Venzke, Marlis Hübner

Patent number: 11051605Abstract: An oral care implement comprises a head and a handle made of a first material. The handle has a distal end and a proximal end closest to the head. The handle comprises a thumb rest made of a second material, the second material being different from the first material. The thumb rest comprises an area from about 202 mm2 to about 360 mm2 and has a concave shape. The thumb rest comprises a portion being inclined with respect to a remaining portion of the thumb rest by an angle ? of about 20° to about 25°, the angle ? being defined by a first line and a second line. The first line extends between a most elevated point and a lowest point of the thumb rest, and the second line extends between the lowest point and an end point of the thumb rest, the end point of the thumb rest being closest to the distal end of the handle.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: The Gillette Company LLCInventors: Armin Tschol, Benedikt Heil, Aycan Sentürk Andersson, Stephanie Venzke, Marlis Hübner

Patent number: 10537169Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: June 14, 2018Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Armin Tschol, Erwin Mark, Tilmann Winkler, Franziska Schmid

Patent number: 10149532Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Armin Tschol, Erwin Mark, Tilmann Winkler, Franziska Schmid
