Publication number: 20230248139Abstract: A head for an oral care implement comprises a mounting surface and at least one tuft extending from the mounting surface. The tuft comprises a first group of filaments and at least a second group of filaments. The first group of filaments is surrounded by the second group of filaments. The filaments of the first group have a first length and the filaments of the second group have a second length, the first length being different from the second length. The difference in length between the first length and the second length is about 1.1 mm to about 1.9 mm.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Uwe JUNGNICKEL, Marlis Hubner, Kathi Ballmaier, Soeren Wasow, Fiona Harrington

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: 10376039Abstract: A head for an oral care implement comprises a mounting surface and at least one tuft extending from the mounting surface. The tuft comprises a first group of filaments and at least a second group of filaments. The first group of filaments is surrounded by the second group of filaments. The filaments of the first group have a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the cross sectional area has a substantially circular shape with a first diameter. The filaments of the second group have a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the cross sectional area has a substantially circular shape with a second diameter. The first diameter is smaller than the second diameter. The first diameter is about 0.15 mm to about 0.16 mm, preferably about 0.152 mm (6 mil) and the second diameter is about 0.17 mm to about 0.18 mm, preferably about 0.178 mm (7 mil).Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANYInventors: Uwe Jungnickel, Marlis Hübner, Kathi Ballmaier, Sören Wasow, Fiona Harrington
