Abstract
A bifurcated toothbrush having two brush carrying members angled with respect to one another at the working end of the toothbrush handle. Each brush is designed for a distinct purpose and the brushes are spaced at a sufficient distance from one other to move the cheek or tongue away from the surface being brushed.
Claims3
A multi-purpose toothbrush comprising:
- an elongated handle having an upper surface and a bottom surface and said handle having a working end and a distal end;
- a first relatively flat multi-bristled brush fused to said upper surface at said working end and covering less than 25% of the length of said elongated handle;
- a member angled outwardly from said bottom surface and said member having an outer end;
- a second brush carried by said member at said outer end and having substantially fewer bristles than said first brush;
- said member being attached to said bottom surface at a region of said bottom surface including a plane perpendicular to said handle, which plane is transverse said first brush mid-way of its length, and;
- said bristles of said first brush being parallel to said plane and said bristles of said second brush are at an acute angle to said plane and free ends of the bristles of the second brush point toward said distal end of said handle.
