Brush for teeth and gums

Abstract

An elongated handle, of rectangular cross-section, has a round, flatted brush head mounted at either one end or both ends. The brush head, according to the invention is fabricated from an originally linear, twisted wire frame having a central core portion which secures diametral bristles which effectively project radially from the core portion, and free end portions. The core portion is formed into a circular core, with the free end portions extending transversely and being secured in an axial recess in the handle. The formed brush head, then, approximates a spherical head having opposite flatted sides. The handle end to which a head is secured is preferably bent at an obtuse angle, with the plane of one head core being transverse to the handle plane defined by the main handle portion and bent handle portion. When a second head of similar construction is mounted at the opposite end of the handle, the plane of the second head core is coincident with the above mentioned handle plane. Alternatively one head is a conventional toothbrush head.
