TOOTHBRUSH STRUCTURE
BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to an improved structure, and more
particularly
relates to a toothbrush structure with improved bristles of a toothbrush.
Description of Related Art
[0002] In general, bundles of nylon thread-like bristle structures of a
traditional
toothbrush are attached to a brush head at the upper end of the toothbrush and
provided
for cleaning teeth in oral cavity. Although the nylon-thread bristles of the
traditional
toothbrush head usually come with a soft bristle structure and a hard bristle
structure, the
nylon thread-like bristle structures are neither suitable for children's oral
cavity, nor
suitable for people with sensitive and fragile oral cavity. The traditional
toothbrush
cannot meet the requirements of comfort and softness in use and has
difficulties in
cleaning the dirt on tooth enamel. Therefore, the function of the traditional
toothbrush is
greatly limited, which greatly reduces its practicality, and this problem is
what those
skilled in the art and consumers are eager to break through.
SUMMARY
[0003] In view of the aforementioned deficiencies of the related art, it is a
primary
objective of the present disclosure to overcome the deficiencies of the
related art by
providing an improved toothbrush structure. The improved toothbrush structure
includes
a toothbrush head disposed at an upper end of a handle, and the toothbrush
head has a
cleaning device including but not limited to a sponge cleaning device, a non-
woven fiber
cleaning device, a nylon fiber cleaning device, a plant fiber cleaning device,
a functional
fabric cleaning device or a plastic cleaning device.

[0004] A secondary objective of this disclosure is to provide an improved
toothbrush
structure which uses a cleaning device including but not limited to a sponge
cleaning
device, a non-woven fiber cleaning device, a nylon fiber cleaning device, a
plant fiber
cleaning device, a functional fabric cleaning device or a plastic cleaning
device to
provide softness and comfort for the use of the toothbrush, and facilitate
users to clean
the dirt of the tooth enamel. The toothbrush structure of this disclosure is
suitable for the
use by children and people with sensitive oral cavity.
[0005] A third objective of this disclosure is to provide an improved
toothbrush structure
that effectively enhances its use and provides more options and functions to
users.
[0006] The problem to be solved by this disclosure is to overcome the
deficiencies of the
traditional toothbrush, wherein the toothbrush head on the upper end of the
traditional
toothbrush is tied with bundles of nylon-thread bristle structures (regardless
of the soft
bristle structures or the hard bristle structures), the nylon-thread bristle
structures are
neither suitable for children's oral cavity, nor suitable for people with
sensitive oral
cavity, and such traditional toothbrush fails to meet the requirements of
comfort and
softness in use and has difficulties to clean the dirt of tooth enamel, and
the function of
the toothbrush is limited which greatly reduces its practicality.
[0007] To achieve the aforementioned and other objective, this disclosure
provides an
improved toothbrush structure including a handle, and a toothbrush head
disposed at an
upper end of the handle, characterized in that a groove is formed on a side of
the
toothbrush head, the groove includes a cleaning device, a glue is provided for
fixing and
adhering the groove of the toothbrush head and the cleaning device with each
other, and
the cleaning device includes but not limited to a sponge cleaning device, a
non-woven
fiber cleaning device, a nylon fiber cleaning device, a plant fiber cleaning
device, a
functional fabric cleaning device or a plastic cleaning device.

[0008] In this disclosure, the cleaning device has an end surface in a shape
including but
not limited to a flat shape or a wavy shape.
[0009] Compared with the related art, this disclosure has the toothbrush head
arranged at
the upper end of the handle, and the toothbrush head includes the cleaning
device
including but not limited to a sponge cleaning device, a non-woven fiber
cleaning device,
a nylon fiber cleaning device, a plant fiber cleaning device, a functional
fabric cleaning
device or plastic cleaning device, and the glue is provided for fixing and
adhering the
toothbrush head and the cleaning device with each other, so as to achieve the
effect of
using the cleaning device including but not limited to the sponge cleaning
device,
non-woven fiber cleaning device, nylon fiber cleaning device, plant fiber
cleaning device,
functional fabric cleaning device or plastic cleaning device to provide a soft
and
comfortable use of the toothbrush and facilitate cleaning the dirt of the
tooth enamel. The
toothbrush structure of this disclosure is suitable for children and people
with sensitive
oral cavity, and has the advantages of providing more options and functions of
the
toothbrush to meet user requirements.

embodiment of this disclosure.
DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0011] This disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to
the
accompanying drawings that show various embodiments of this disclosure. It is
intended

that the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein are to be considered
illustrative
rather than restrictive, and also noteworthy that the drawings are not
necessary drawn
according to the real proportion and precise configuration and these attached
drawings
should not limit the scope of the patent of this disclosure in actual
implementation.
[0012] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 for an improved toothbrush structure in
accordance with a preferred embodiment of this disclosure, the toothbrush
structure
includes: a handle 1 with a toothbrush head 2 disposed at an upper end of the
handle 1,
and the handle 1 and the toothbrush head 2 of this embodiment are formed by
plastic
injection molding. This disclosure is characterized in that a groove 21 is
formed on a side
of the toothbrush head 2, and provided with a cleaning device 3, and the
cleaning device
3 of the toothbrush head 2 includes but not limited to a sponge cleaning
