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: 9089202Abstract: A method for producing a brush head for a toothbrush head is disclosed. The method includes the steps of providing a bristle carrier; providing cleaning elements having first ends which will not be embedded in the bristle carrier and second ends which will be embedded in the bristle carrier, wherein the cleaning elements are selected from at least two different types of cleaning elements or at least two distinctive cleaning elements of the same type; placing the first ends of the cleaning elements in the bristle carrier in a carrier part for holding; and supplying different amounts of heat to the second ends in the bristle carrier by reflecting the heat supplied partially from the carrier part and/or absorbing the heat supplied partially by the carrier part resulting in the second end being molten.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2013Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: BRAUN GMBHInventors: Michael Vankov, Jochen Kawerau, Michael Machlitt
