Abstract
A power flossing device having only seven parts, namely, a driver element, a driver arm, a flossing head, a retainer, a housing, a seal and a glamour cap. The driver arm is coupled with the driver element and the flossing head. The driver element is responsive to rotary motion provided by a power source to impart to the driver arm both an oscillatory motion along its length dimension and a wobbling motion component transverse to the length dimension. This results in elliptical motion of a length of floss held by the flossing head. The driver element is a unitary structure that has an eccentric hole into which the driver arm is slidably situated to produce the wobbling motion as the driver element revolves and further has a cam follower that coacts with a cam on the driver arm to produce the oscillatory motion. The driver arm and cam is also a unitary structure.
