Abstract:
1. A cleaning section of an oral hygiene device, comprising: a cleaning element carrier mounted for oscillatory rotation around a carrier rotation axis, the cleaning element carrier being mounted to a housing of the cleaning section via a mounting pivot element and a carrier pivot element, both elements extending along the carrier rotation axis; a shaft element arranged for being coupled to a drive shaft of a handle of the oral hygiene device, which drive shaft defines a drive shaft rotation axis in an attached state, and which shaft element is mounted to the housing of the cleaning section via a shaft pivot element that extends along the drive shaft rotation axis; and an actuation element for transferring motion from the drive shaft to the cleaning element carrier during operation; wherein the carrier rotation axis is parallel to the drive shaft rotation axis and is disposed at a distance to the drive shaft rotation axis; and wherein the carrier pivot element and the shaft pivot element are integrally realized by a cranked pivot element.
