Fluid delivery system for an oral care implement

An oral care implement, comprising:

• a handle for grasping;
• a head including at least one tooth cleaning element;
• a reservoir for storing a flowable substance;
• at least one outlet disposed on the head;
• and
• a wicking member fluidly coupling the reservoir to the outlet, the wicking member comprising a first flow section and a second flow section, the first flow section fluidly coupled to the reservoir and positioned upstream of the second flow section and the second flow section fluidly coupled to the outlet;
• wherein the fluid flows via capillary action from the reservoir through the first flow section at a first flow rate and through the second flow section to the outlet at a second flow rate, the second flow rate being greater than the first flow rate.

An oral care implement, comprising:

• a handle for grasping;
• a head including at least one tooth cleaning element;
• a reservoir for storing a flowable substance;
• at least one outlet disposed on the head;
• and
• a capillary channel fluidly coupling the reservoir to the outlet, the capillary channel comprising:
• a first wicking member formed of a first wicking material and defining a first flow section;
• a second wicking member formed of a second wicking material and defining a second flow section, the second wicking member being fluidly coupled to the first wicking member;
• wherein the flowable substance flows via capillary action from the first wicking member to the second wicking member through a flow restrictor, a rate of flow of the flowable substance through the flow restrictor being different than a rate of flow of the flowable substance through the first or second wicking members.
