Abstract:
1. An attachment for an electric toothbrush, comprising: a working head; a coupling member joined to the working head, and detachably connectable to a toothbrush handpiece by at least one of positive engagement and frictional engagement; and at least one pivot lever configured to clamp the coupling member upon the toothbrush handpiece; wherein a lever actuator is provided that is axially movable relative to the coupling member longitudinal direction, the actuator including a follower element that engages the toothbrush handpiece on plugging the attachment onto the toothbrush handpiece, and being operatively associated with the lever by connecting means in such a way that, on plugging on the attachment, the lever actuator becomes displaced axially, thereby moving the lever into its clamping position.
