Abstract

A electrically driven toothbrush has the brush (23) selectively movable in two modes, performing a circular motion or a side-to-side reciprocal motion. The output of a motor (12) is taken through a reduction device (15) to a crank (18) via a bevel gear (17), a crank pin (19) on the crank seating in a guide groove (22) formed in the base portion of a brush holder (21), and a guide pin (20) also seating in the guide groove (22). A switching member (24) determines the mode of operation by being movable from engagement with the guide pin (20) to engagement with the crank pin (19). In each mode the guide pin (20) acts as a fulcrum for the brush holder (21). <IMAGE>
