Patent number: 8458846Abstract: The invention relates to a device for dental and/or oral care, especially a tooth brush, comprising a preferably rod-shaped tool support to which a cleaning tool, especially a bristle field, can be fastened. The tool support is configured as a composite body that comprises an enveloping body from a first material, preferably plastic material, and a functional body from a second material, preferably metal, which is embedded in the enveloping body. The dental and/or oral care device is characterized in that the functional body is configured in at least some sections thereof as a trelliswork girder frame that has longitudinal girders substantially extending in the longitudinal direction of the tool support and a plurality of cross-girders. The enveloping body is especially transparent so that the functional body is visible through the enveloping body.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2008Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: BRAUN GmbHInventors: Stefan Schamberg, Jens Störkel, Tilmann Winkler, Martin Vitt, Ulrich Pfeifer
