ABSTRACT:
A power tooth brush, including a barrel or casing with an electric motor therein. A rotating brush member has a shank fitted in the front end of the barrel with a brush element exposed to the exterior. Sleeve means drivingly interconnects the shank of the brush member and the drive shaft of the motor. The sleeve is of compound construction, including a fixed element and a movable element, with cam means interacting between the elements producing axial vibration of the brush member in response to its rotation. In one form, a battery is included for running the motor, so that the device is self-contained and in this form it is adapted for having a cap fitted thereon, whereby it is easily carried in the pocket and easily used in travel. Another form is adapted to plug-in operation.
