Patent ID: 7757333

Claim:
A toothbrush head, connected to a toothbrush grip handle to define a toothbrush longitudinal direction, characterised by the toothbrush head comprising: a mid section having a base end longitudinally close to the grip handle and a longitudinally opposite tip end longitudinally further from the grip handle, a tip section resiliently flexibly connected by a resiliently flexible connection to the mid section at the tip end thereof, the mid section extending for 50-80% of the length of the head as between the base end and the end of the tip section most longitudinally distant from the grip handle, at least two side sections each resiliently flexibly connected by a resiliently flexible connection to the mid section at respective points on widthways opposite sides of the mid section to allow the side sections to fold relative to the mid section about a fold axis parallel to the longitudinal direction or having a component oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction, the side sections each extending for 30-80% of the length of the mid section as between the base end and the end of the mid section most longitudinally distant from the grip handle, and the tip section and side sections are able to fold relative to the mid section independently of each other by means of a resiliently flexible connection being provided only between the tip section and the mid section and between each side section and the middle section.
