ABSTRACT:
A personal hygiene article, such as a toothbrush, includes a handle configured to accommodate an electric power source, a head carrying a treatment tool, and a neck between the handle and the head. The head or neck includes a mechanical motorized vibratory device, including a drive that causes the head to vibrate. Electrical connections are operably connected to the mechanical vibratory device and the electric power source to power the mechanical vibratory device via the electrical connections. In various embodiments, a vibration-damping structure dampens vibration transmission from the head to the handle.
