Abstract

Various oral care devices and bristle patterns for oral care devices are disclosure herein, including bristle patterns for toothbrush heads, finger toothbrushes, and tongue cleaning devices. A bristle pattern of brush head can include a first bristle region having a first bristle core and a first outer bristle layer disposed at least partially around the first bristle core; and a second bristle region disposed proximal the first bristle region, the second bristle region having a second bristle core and a second outer bristle layer disposed at least partially around the second bristle core. As viewed in a top plane, the first bristle region can have a first convex outer boundary, the second bristle region can have a second convex outer boundary, and the transition region can comprise an inflection between the first and second convex outer boundaries.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tongue cleaning device comprising:
 a base;   a plurality of bristles extending non-parallel from a first side of the base; and   a first cleaning blade extending non-parallel from a second side of the base opposite the first side.   
     
     
         2 . The tongue cleaning device of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of bumps disposed on the second side. 
     
     
         3 . The tongue cleaning device of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle, the base disposed at a distal end of the handle. 
     
     
         4 . The tongue cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the base and the cleaning blade comprises stainless steel. 
     
     
         5 . The tongue cleaning device of  claim 4 , wherein the base comprises stainless steel. 
     
     
         6 . The tongue cleaning device of  claim 5 , wherein the cleaning blade comprises a polymer material. 
     
     
         7 . The tongue cleaning device of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of bumps comprise stainless steel. 
     
     
         8 . The tongue cleaning device of  claim 1 , further comprising a second tongue cleaning blade on the second side, the second tongue cleaning blade spaced apart from the first tongue cleaning blade. 
     
     
         9 . A tongue cleaning device comprising:
 a base formed of stainless steel; and   at least one tongue cleaning projection extending from the base, the tongue cleaning projection comprises at least one of a cleaning blade and a plurality of bumps.   
     
     
         10 . The tongue cleaning device of  claim 9 , wherein the at least one tongue cleaning projection comprises the cleaning blade and the plurality of bumps. 
     
     
         11 . The tongue cleaning device of  claim 10 , wherein the cleaning blade comprises a polymer material. 
     
     
         12 . The tongue cleaning device of  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of bumps comprise stainless steel. 
     
     
         13 . The tongue cleaning device of  claim 10 , wherein the cleaning blade and the plurality of bumps are disposed on a first side of the base and a plurality of bristles extend from a second side of the base opposite the first side. 
     
     
         14 . A finger toothbrush comprising:
 a finger sleeve sized and shaped to receive a finger of a user;   a brush head base coupled to the finger sleeve;   a plurality of bristles extending non-parallel from the brush head base; and   a bite block coupled with the finger sleeve or the brush head base.   
     
     
         15 . The finger toothbrush of  claim 14 , wherein the bite block comprises a material having a higher modulus of elasticity than the finger sleeve. 
     
     
         16 . The finger toothbrush of  claim 14 , wherein the bite block is coupled to the brush head base. 
     
     
         17 . The finger toothbrush of  claim 14 , wherein the bite block is coupled to a side of the finger sleeve opposite the brush head base. 
     
     
         18 . The finger toothbrush of  claim 14 , wherein the bite block is disposed in a ring shape along a side of the finger sleeve. 
     
     
         19 . The finger toothbrush of  claim 14 , wherein the bite block is disposed at a distal portion of the finger sleeve.
