Bristled Article

US Patent:
5590438, Jan 7, 1997
Filed:
Jul 27, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/509005
Inventors:
Albert C. Chen - East Brunswick NJ
Peter Hrinko - Fair Lawn NJ
Kevin G. Yost - Short Hills NJ
John R. Kent - Yardley PA
Assignee:
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Products, Inc. - Skillman NJ
International Classification:
A46B 904
US Classification:
151671
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved bristled article and more particularly to an improved toothbrush which has a tuft cavity with a cross-sectional area that decreases such that the tuft cavity is broadest at the open top end and becomes narrower toward the closed bottom end of the tuft cavity. This decrease of the breadth of the tuft cavity results in a greater packing factor in the closed bottom end portion of the cavity than in the open top end and provides higher bristle retention force.
