Abstract
A toothbrush is described whose handle has a special arrangement. The handle includes an elongated handle arm formed of a plastic having a Shore Hardness value of at least 90. A pressure pad is attached to the arm and formed of an elastomer having a Shore Hardness value no higher than 80. Advantageously, the elongated handle arm has a recess in an area adjacent to connection with the brushhead. The pressure pad is arranged within that recess. At least one radial anti-slip structure, especially a semi-ring shape, protrudes from and circumscribes bottom and lateral surfaces of the arm.
