FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a toothbrush head, showing our new ornamental design, wherein tufts are formed by pluralities of bristles;

FIG. 2 is a front view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a bottom view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a side view thereof, the opposite side view being a mirror image thereof; and,

FIG. 5 is a top view thereof.

The broken line shown in FIGS. 2–4 represents the bounds of the claim and forms no part thereof.

The bristle tufts are shown broken away to indicate that no particular length is being claimed.

Pluralities of individual bristles shown, for convenience, only partially in each of the tufts continue throughout and fill respective tufts in accordance with the contours outlined by the endless straight / curved lines.

The shading of differential-density stippled patterns indicates differential colors of the tufts of bristles.
