BRUSH HEAD FOR AN ORAL CARE IMPLEMENT
First Claim
1. A brush head (1) for an oral care implement comprising:
- at least one group of tufts (5, 6, 7) extending from a mounting surface (4) of a tuft carrier (3) having a rotation axis (I), the tufts (5, 6, 7) having a base end extending from the mounting surface (4) and a free end,wherein the tufts (5) of the first group are tufts having, in the plane of the mounting surface (4), an extension in a circumferential direction about the rotation axis (I) which exceeds an extension in a radial direction with respect to the rotation axis (I),wherein the tufts (5) of the first group are inclined with respect to the mounting surface (4) in at least one direction, andwherein each of the tufts (5) of the first group comprises a first group of filaments (5a) and a second group of filaments (5b) with the free ends of the filaments (5b) of the second group of filaments protruding beyond the free ends of the filaments (5a) of the first group of filaments.

Abstract
A brush head for an oral care implement includes at least one (first) group of tufts extending from a mounting surface of a tuft carrier having a rotation axis. The tufts have a base end and a free end. The tufts of the first group are tufts having an extension in a circumferential direction about the rotation axis exceeding an extension in a radial direction. The tufts of the first group may be inclined with respect to the mounting surface in at least one direction. Each of the first-group tufts may comprise a first group of filaments and a second group of filaments, wherein the second-group filaments'"'"' free ends protrude beyond the first-group filaments'"'"' free ends.
