Oral care implement with adjustable cleaning elements

An oral care implement comprising:

• a handle;
• a head disposed at a distal end of the handle, the head comprising:
• a fixed cleaning member support,
• a first cleaning member disposed on the fixed cleaning member support,
• a first movable cleaning member support movable relative to the fixed cleaning member support,
• a second cleaning member disposed on the first moveable cleaning member support,
• a second movable cleaning member support moveable relative to the cleaning member support and the first movable cleaning member support, and
• a third cleaning member disposed on the second moveable cleaning member support;
• and
• an actuator disposed to pivot the first movable cleaning member support relative to the fixed cleaning member support about a first axis, to pivot the second movable cleaning member support relative to the fixed cleaning member support about a second axis, and the second movable cleaning member support relative to the fixed cleaning member support, and to actuate at least one of the first movable cleaning member and the second movable cleaning member support relative to each other;
• a first hinge connecting the first movable cleaning element support to the fixed cleaning element support and a second hinge connecting the second movable cleaning element support to the fixed bristle support.

An oral care implement comprising:

• a handle;
• a head disposed at a distal end of the handle, the head comprising:
• a fixed cleaning member support,
• a first cleaning member disposed on the fixed cleaning member support,
• a first movable cleaning member support movable relative to the fixed cleaning member support,
• a second cleaning member disposed on the first moveable cleaning member support,
• a second movable cleaning member support moveable relative to the cleaning member support and the first movable cleaning member support, and
• a third cleaning member disposed on the second moveable cleaning member support;
• and
• an actuator disposed to pivot the first movable cleaning member support relative to the fixed cleaning member support about a first axis, to pivot the second movable cleaning member support relative to the fixed cleaning member support about a second axis, and the second movable cleaning member support relative to the fixed cleaning member support, and to actuate at least one of the first movable cleaning member and the second movable cleaning member support relative to each other;
• wherein the actuator comprises an elongate member disposed in the oral care implement;
• wherein the elongate member includes at the distal end a first member contacting the first movable cleaning member support and a second member contacting the second movable cleaning member support.

A toothbrush comprising:

• a handle extending from a proximal end to a distal end;
• and
• a head disposed at the distal end of the handle, the head comprising:
• a fixed bristle member comprising a first plurality of bristles on a fixed bristle support,
• a first movable bristle member comprising a second plurality of bristles on a first movable bristle support,
• a first hinge connecting the first movable bristle member to the fixed bristle member, wherein the first movable bristle member pivots relative to the fixed bristle support, via the first hinge, about a first axis,
• a second movable bristle member comprising a third plurality of bristles on a second movable bristle support, and
• a second hinge connecting the second movable bristle member to the fixed bristle member, wherein the second movable bristle member pivots relative to the fixed bristle support, via the second hinge, about a second axis angled relative to the first axis;
• wherein when the first and second movable bristle members are pivoted into an interdental cleaning position, at least one bristle of the first plurality of bristles of the fixed bristle support, at least one bristle of the second plurality of bristles of the first movable bristle member, and at least one bristle of the third plurality of bristles of the second movable bristle member intersect at a point.
