English Abstract


Those toothbrushes in use today have straight handles or with
a slight deviation from straight. For this invention, the
toothbrush handle is curved and thus more easily fits into the
gum line, providing more effective and more comfortable
brushing.


Claims

Note: Claims are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.


CLAIMS
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive
property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:
A brush for cleaning teeth which is manufactured with a
handle specially curved to adapt comfortably to the contours
of the gum line of the mouth.

Description

Note: Descriptions are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.


213~993
SPECIFICATION
This invention is a new shape of toothbrush.
This invention will improve on those toothbrushes which have
only straight or angular handles.
A toothbrush with a straight handle is awkward to use when
brushing anything but the front teeth. A curved toothbrush
allows easier and more comfortable access to the back teeth
because a curved handle conforms to the natural gum line.
The toothbrush is manufactured with a specially curved
handle, as shown in the illustration provided.
