Abstract

A method and a device are described for manufacturing of a toothbrush from a starting-material which comprises a handle that runs into a neck part which divides into two equal and diverging arms/head parts, in which the bristle-carrying surface (bottom surfaces) of the head parts is approximately in a plane which runs parallel to the main axis of the toothbrush and head, and in which bristle which extend approximately vertically out from the surface is inserted and is of approximately equal of different lengths. According to the invention the starting-material is arranged in a shaping appliance in which the neck and head part adjacent to the respective associated arms, is supported with its underside on a support body, and the two head parts are bent, in particular by twisting/deformation, to the desired angle position by torsion-twisting of the two arms/heads along the respective axes approximately parallel to the center-line axis of the handle, approximately at the same height as the underside of the neck part, so that the edges of the head parts and the upper sides of the arms in the V-shaped opening form a head part with decreasing height towards the foremost part of the head part. The manufactured toothbrush is particularly suited to animals, in particular domestic animals, pets and especially intended for dogs and cats but can also be used by humans.
