RANDOM ORBITAL TOOTHBRUSH

摘要

A toothbrush (10) includes a support member (22) mounted on a first shaft (24) in the head (14) of the toothbrush (10). A carrier member (26) is mounted on a second shaft (28) to the support member (22). The support member (22) is eccentrically mounted so that when its first shaft (24) is rotated the carrier member (26) is moved in an orbital path during the rotation of the support member (22). The carrier member (26) is freely mounted on its second shaft (28) so that during this orbital movement the carrier member (26) rotates in a random manner. Cleaning elements (32) such as bristles extend outwardly from the carrier member (26).
