Apparatus for massaging gums has a handle portion with an especially configured roller head of unsymmetrical hyperboloid shape rotatably mounted on one end thereof for massaging gums with a roller-like action. The opposite end of the handle may be provided with a tapered massaging element that is connected to the handle by means of a flexible resilient coupling element so that an undulating massaging action may be applied to the gum areas between a user's teeth.

A device for massaging gums having a handle portion arranged for manually manipulating the device in order to impart a swivel-like movement to a gum massaging element that is mounted on the handle portion and configured for insertion between adjacent teeth of a user of the device. A universal joint coupling structure interconnects the handle and the massaging element to allow a free changing of the angular relationship therebetween to provide the swivel-like movement of the gum massaging element...

In a toothbrush including a handle and an array of bristles affixed to one end portion of the handle, as disclosed herein, is an improvement comprising a gum massaging accessory movably secured to an opposite end portion of the handle for articulation between a first position, stored and inoperative, in general alignment with the handle to an operative position askew to the handle.

This invention relates to a toothbrush which includes tufts of bristles which are fixed to and project from a head to define a substantially rectangular brush surface and a pair of resilient gum massage members which are located on opposite long sides of the brush surface with each massage member being at least as long as the brush surface occupied by three tufts of bristles but shorter than the surface and as wide as a tuft of bristles.

A toothbrush which has a brush handle, a head on one end of the handle and a resilient, preferably multicellular pad fixed on the brush head. The pad has a concavity of a relatively large area across the pad in the area halfway between the ends of the pad on the upper surface, to form two protrusions on the opposite sides of the concavity. Each protrusion has at least one upside projection thereon substantially of the form of a triangular prism with the lateral edges extending in the lateral dir...
