Abstract
A head for an oral care implement comprises a number of colored filaments of different types. The filaments extend from a mounting surface of the head and are grouped together to define an initial color pattern. At least two types of filament have staggered time-controlled color changing properties, wherein each of said type of filament changes its color within pre-defined time periods, the pre-defined time periods being different from each other so that the initial color pattern changes color characteristics over at least a first pre-defined period of time to a first color pattern and over a subsequent second pre-defined period of time to a second color pattern, the second pattern being different from the first pattern.
Claims13
A head (10) for an oral care implement, the head (10) comprising a number of colored filaments of different types (12, 14, 18), the filaments (12, 14, 18) extending from a mounting surface (16) of the head (10) and being grouped together to define an initial color pattern (20), at least two types of filament (12, 14) having staggered time-controlled color changing properties, wherein each of said type of filament (12, 14) changes its color within pre-defined time periods, the pre-defined time periods being different from one another so that the initial color pattern (20) changes color characteristics over at least a first pre-defined period of time to a first color pattern (30), and over a subsequent second pre-defined period of time to a second color pattern (40), the second pattern (40) being different from the first pattern (30),
- wherein a first type of filament (12) changes its color within the first period of time from an initial color to a second color to define the first color pattern (30), a second type of filament (14) changes its color after the first period of time and within the second period of time from an initial color to a second color to define the second color pattern (40), and a third type of filament (18) changes its color after the first and second period of time within a subsequent third period of time from an initial color to a second color to define a third color pattern (50), the third color pattern (50) being different from the first and second color pattern (30, 40).
