Patent number: 11425991Abstract: A head for an oral care implement has a mounting surface and at least one tuft mounted thereon. The tuft has a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The tuft comprises a plurality of substantially cylindrical filaments. Each filament has a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending in a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The cross-sectional area of an individual filament has a substantially non-circular shape. The plurality of filaments is arranged such that the cross-sectional area of the tuft has a scaled-up shape of the individual filament's cross-sectional area.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2015Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Ulrich Stoerkel, Simone Bertrand, Marlis Huebner, Andreas Birk, Franziska Schmid, Alexander Hilscher, Heidrun Schmelcher, Jochen Ganninger, Jochen Kawerau, Uwe Jungnickel, Benedikt Heil, Christian Mandl, Eva Kaiser, Kathi Ballmaier, Christine Hielscher, Britta Stockinger

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: 10314387Abstract: A head for an oral-care implement comprises at least two tufts extending from a mounting surface of the head. The tufts are inclined with respect to the mounting surface in at least two different directions. Each of the tufts comprises a first group of filaments having a first length and at least a second group of filaments having a second length wherein the first length is different from the second length.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: THE GILLETTE COMPANY LLCInventors: Uwe Jungnickel, Franziska Schmid, Kathi Ballmaier, Sören Wasow, Benedikt Heil

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

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.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Armin Tschol, Erwin Mark, Tilmann Winkler, Franziska Schmid
