Claims20
An attachment brush part for an electrical toothbrush, the attachment brush part being designed of several parts and comprising:
- a brush head with a bristle carrier and with care bristles which are arranged on the bristle carrier;
- an attachment brush housing with a housing head for receiving the bristle carrier of the brush head;
- a drive rod for driving the brush head;
- a securing element for rotatable mounting of a hand-part-side end section of the drive rod;
- and
- a bearing pin for positioning, securing and for an oscillatorily rotatable mounting of the brush head on the attachment brush housing,
- wherein:
- the bearing pin comprises a pin shank and a pin head with a diameter which is larger compared to the pin shank, and the pin shank towards the pin head comprises a first cylindrical section, and the pin shank towards a free end comprises a second fastening section with a structured surface,
- the housing head is formed in one piece and comprises a bristle carrier receiver and a carrier receiver opening which is arranged on a front side as well as a bearing sleeve with a feed-through opening which leads from a rear side of the housing head into the bristle carrier receiver,
- wherein the bristle carrier is formed in one piece and at least partially engages with the bristle carrier receiver and the bearing pin is led from the outside and from the rear side of the housing head through the housing head and the feed-through opening of the bearing sleeve, wherein the pin head is arranged on the outside of the rear side of the housing head,
- the first cylindrical section serves as a bearing for the bearing pin in the bearing sleeve, and the bearing pin engages with the fastening section into a bearing pin receiver on the bristle carrier which is open to the rear side and establishes an axially and rotationally fixed connection to the bristle carrier such that the bearing pin at one hand forms a physical rotation axle for the bristle carrier and on the other hand fixes and holds the bristle carrier on the housing head, and
- a limitation cam is arranged on the bearing sleeve, and the limitation cam is configured to interact with the bristle carrier such that a rotation angle of the bristle carrier around a carrier rotation axis is limited.
