Abstract: The flossing device includes a head unit, a handle, and a neck that is coupled to the head unit at one end and to the handle at an opposite end. The flossing device provides a horizontal vibrational movement for flossing. The handle of the flossing device includes a drive motor and a drive mechanism that transfers drive motor rotation into a horizontal left-right displacement of the head unit to generate the horizontal vibrational movement of the floss. The horizontal vibration provides more efficient and effective flossing. The drive mechanism includes a cam and an eccentric collar that generates horizontal left-right displacement as the cam rotates. The drive mechanism also includes an elongated shaft with a head adapter to secure the neck to the head unit; a sidewall spacer surrounding a portion of the elongated shaft to limit the horizontal left-right displacement; and an eccentric collar that mates with the drive motor to generate the horizontal vibrational movement of the head unit.
