ABSTRACT:
A toothbrush that affords tilting movement to the bristles thereof only in either of two opposite directions about a tilting axis disposed at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the handle of the toothbrush. The bristles project from the top surface of a bristle support, the bottom surface of which is secured to the distal end of the toothbrush handle. In one embodiment, an elongated attachment rod secured to the bottom surface of the bristle support is rotatably received in an elongated attachment rod receiving slot formed in the distal end of the handle in alignment with the tilting axis. In an alternate embodiment, first and second attachment knobs projecting from opposite ends of the bristle support are rotatably received in first and second opposed attachment knob receiving sockets formed in the distal end of the handle at positions in alignment with the tilting axis. Alternatively, the bristle support may be so secured to the distal end of the handle of the toothbrush as to be slidable in either of two opposite directions along a sliding axis disposed at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the handle. In this embodiment an elongated attachment rod secured to the bottom surface of the bristle support is slidably received in an elongated attachment rod receiving slot formed in the distal end of the handle in alignment with the sliding axis.
