An oral care implement (10; 100; 100A; 100B; 100C) comprising: a housing (11; 110); a functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) mounted at the housing (11; 110) for driven oscillatory rotation relative to the housing (11; 110; 110A; 110B; 110C) around a rotation axis (B; R; R1; R2); at least one rocking lever (170; 170A; 170B; 1700C, 1710C) that is on a first end (171; 171A; 171B; 1701C, 1711C) pivotably supported at the housing (11; 110; 110A; 110B; 110C) at an essentially fixed position that is eccentric with respect to the rotation axis (B; R; R1; R2) and the rocking lever (170; 170A; 170B; 1700C, 1710C) is on a second end (172; 172A; 172B; 1702C, 1712C) coupled with the functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) at a position eccentric with respect to the rotation axis (B; R; R1; R2) such that the functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) carries the second end of the rocking lever along when it is driven into oscillatory rotation around the rotation axis, while the first end of the rocking lever is kept at its fixed position at the housing; characterized in that the rocking lever (170; 170A; 170B; 1700C, 1710C) is arranged between the housing and the functional element so that the rocking lever defines a distance (a max; a min) between the housing (11; 110; 110A; 110B; 110C) and the functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) in the direction of the rotation axis (B; R; R1; R2) and the rocking lever (170; 170A; 170B; 1700C, 1710C) is arranged so that its inclination against the rotation axis (B; R; R1; R2) is varied when the functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) is driven into movement so that the distance between the housing (11; 110; 110A; 110B; 110C) and the functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) is varied. a housing (11; 110); a functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) mounted at the housing (11; 110) for driven oscillatory rotation relative to the housing (11; 110; 110A; 110B; 110C) around a rotation axis (B; R; R1; R2); at least one rocking lever (170; 170A; 170B; 1700C, 1710C) that is on a first end (171; 171A; 171B; 1701C, 1711C) pivotably supported at the housing (11; 110; 110A; 110B; 110C) at an essentially fixed position that is eccentric with respect to the rotation axis (B; R; R1; R2) and the rocking lever (170; 170A; 170B; 1700C, 1710C) is on a second end (172; 172A; 172B; 1702C, 1712C) coupled with the functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) at a position eccentric with respect to the rotation axis (B; R; R1; R2) such that the functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) carries the second end of the rocking lever along when it is driven into oscillatory rotation around the rotation axis, while the first end of the rocking lever is kept at its fixed position at the housing; characterized in that the rocking lever (170; 170A; 170B; 1700C, 1710C) is arranged between the housing and the functional element so that the rocking lever defines a distance (a max; a min) between the housing (11; 110; 110A; 110B; 110C) and the functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) in the direction of the rotation axis (B; R; R1; R2) and the rocking lever (170; 170A; 170B; 1700C, 1710C) is arranged so that its inclination against the rotation axis (B; R; R1; R2) is varied when the functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) is driven into movement so that the distance between the housing (11; 110; 110A; 110B; 110C) and the functional element (12; 120; 120A; 120B; 120C) is varied.
