FIG. 6a provides a structure diagram of the bristle tuft assembly free of external force and the spring in a free condition, according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 6b provides a structure diagram of the bristle tuft assembly under external force and the spring in a stressed condition, according to an embodiment of the present application. Springs 31 contact with the spring-holding base cavity (not shown) configured in the bottom of the base 22 of the bristle tuft assembly 2. Every first connecting hole 11 the upper part is narrow and the lower part is wide, the base 22 is configured within the lower part of the first connecting hole 11, and the diameter size of the upper part of the first connecting hole 11 is smaller than the size of the base 22, and hence base 22 cannot go through but is only able to move upward and downward in the room of the lower part of the first connecting hole 11. The bristle tuft 21 goes through the upper part of the first connecting hole 11 and is exposed outside the toothbrush main body 1 for cleansing teeth. When bristle tufts 21 that are exposed outside the toothbrush main body 1 contact with the tooth surface, the bristle tufts 21 are exerted by external force, which presses the spring 31 that contacts with the bottom of the bristle tuft 2. The degree of the external force exerted upon the bristle tuft 21 by tooth surface and the degree of compression of the spring 31 depend upon the irregular shape of the tooth surface and the force by user's hand.

With regard to tooth cleaning by a toothbrush, the most effective part for cleaning tooth is the top portion of the bristle tuft. When the bristle tufts of a conventional toothbrush contact with the tooth surface and are applied force by tooth surface, the bristle tufts would bend, making the top portion of the bristle tufts unable to effectively contact with the teeth surface to clean the teeth, which results to bad cleaning effect. Compared with the conventional toothbrush that the bristle tufts are fixed, when the bristle tufts 21 in this invention are applied by external force from teeth surface, the bristle tufts 21 would compress spring 31 and move downward, so that they are not easy to bend, which makes the top portion of the bristle tufts always able to directly contact with the teeth surface, and this significantly improves the cleaning effect. Usually, the sides of teeth and the gaps between teeth have more room and sunken space compared with the teeth surface, and when the top portion of a bristle tuft moves from tooth surface towards tooth side or the gap between teeth, the compressed spring would quickly and responsively moves the top portion of the bristle tuft so that it would contact with the tooth side or the gap between teeth for cleaning purpose, and would not work like conventional manual toothbrush which cannot undertake effective cleaning in accordance with the irregular shape of teeth.

FIG. 7 provides a structure diagram of the bristle tuft assemblies corresponding to the first connecting holes, according to an embodiment of the present application.
