Oral Hygiene Implement

An oral hygiene device comprising an oral hygiene implement and a handle section, the oral hygiene implement comprising:

• a neck section extending along a longitudinal direction and having a neck section housing surrounding a neck section cavity;
• a head section having a through hole therein extending through the head section along a through hole direction having an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction and having a head section housing surrounding the through hole;
• wherein the through hole defines a first and a second opening in the head section housing;
• wherein a cap element is connected with the head section housing to essentially cover the first opening and a carrier element is arranged to essentially cover the second opening;
• and
• wherein the oral hygiene implement is detachably attached to the handle section.

A method of manufacturing an oral hygiene implement comprising a neck section extending along a longitudinal direction and having a neck section housing surrounding a neck section cavity;

• a head section having a through hole therein extending through the head section along a through hole direction having an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction and having a head section housing surrounding the through hole, the method comprising the steps of:
• providing a first mold plate defining at least parts of an outer side of the neck section housing and of the head section housing, the first mold plate comprising at least a first shaping projection;
• providing a second mold plate defining at least parts of the outer side of the neck section housing and of the head section housing, the second mold plate comprising at least a second shaping projection;
• providing a core defining at least parts of an inner side of the neck section housing and of the head section housing, the core comprising a shaping front portion, optionally providing the core with a depression at its shaping front portion that defines a first projection radially extending from the inner side of the head section housing into the through hole;
• moving the first mold plate, the second mold plate, and the core together so that the first shaping projection, the second shaping projection and the shaping front portion define the inner side of a through hole through the head section housing having a first opening and a second opening, wherein the shaping front portion defines at least a portion of the inner side of the head section housing distal to the neck section;
• and
• injecting a plastic material into the mold cavity.
