Abstract:
A light-emitting oral care implement includes a light delivery unit that includes a passageway through a body of the oral care implement and a tuft comprising a plurality of filaments located in the passageway, each of the filaments having a core component and a sheath component. The core component may have a transmittance that is greater than the transmittance of the sheath component. The core component may include a base portion that protrudes from a lower end of the sheath component, the base portion forming an anchor portion of the tuft that anchors the tuft to the body of the oral care implement. Furthermore, the oral care implement may include a light source that transmits lights through the anchor portion of the tuft and through the core components for transmittance from the filaments at a location above a front surface of the body.

Claim (Index 1):
A light-emitting oral care implement comprising:\n a body having a front surface; a light delivery unit comprising:\n a passageway in a portion of the body that terminates in an aperture in the front surface of the body; \n a tuft comprising a plurality of light-transmitting filaments, each of the light-transmitting filaments comprising:\n a core component formed of a first material having a first transmittance; \n a sheath component formed of a second material having a second transmittance, the sheath component surrounding the core component, the first transmittance being greater than the second transmittance; and \n the core component comprising a base portion that protrudes from a lower end of the sheath component; \n \n the tuft mounted within the passageway and comprising an anchor portion that anchors the tuft to the body, the base portions of the light-transmitting filaments forming the anchor portion; and \n a light source in operable cooperation with the anchor portion of the tuft such that light generated by the light source is transmitted through the anchor portion of the tuft, through the core components of the light-transmitting filaments of the tuft, and emitted from the light-transmitting filaments of the tuft at a location above the front surface of the body.
