TOOTHBRUSH

摘要

A toothbrush has a brush section (10) and a handle section (100) that longitudinally extends between a first end distal to the brush section (10) and a second end proximal to the brush section (10). The handle section (100) has at least three longitudinally extending edges (101, 102, 103) on the outer surface of the handle section (100) defining three longitudinally extending surfaces areas (110, 111, 112) that each span between two neighboring edges (101, 102; 102, 103; 103, 101), wherein the at least three edges (101, 102, 103) each twist in the longitudinal direction by a total twist angle lying in the range between about 80 degrees to about 100 degrees. The resulting handle section was found to provide optimal ergonomic holding properties and additional advantageous properties such as stable lying in a horizontal position on a bathroom shelf.
