Abstract:
A transversal toothbrush composed of an elongated brush body (1), and an elongated handle (2) the longitudinal direction of which is transversal with respect to the longitudinal direction of the brush body so as to permit a transversal up-and-down brushing parallel to the direction of the teeth, in such a way that the handle, after the brush body, has a curve (5) so that during brushing, the bristles of the brush make good contact with the teeth and the handle clears the lips and chin, and the profile of the handle has a concave region (5) starting from the end in contact with the brush body tending to move the handle laterally away from the plane of the brush body, the profile of the handle then has an inflexion region where the curve is reversed and the handle is rotatably mounted with a blocking-in-position accomplished on the brush body (1) by a truncated cone (10) with respective recessed (12) and raised (11) teeth, the body topped by a shaft (13) with a retention lip (14) and attached to the handle by a hood (15) apertured (16) to the diameter of the shaft and at least two teeth (17) and a cylinder part (18) cooperating with the teeth of the brush body.
