PERSONAL HYGIENE IMPLEMENT FOR PERSONAL USE

This invention concerns a personal hygiene instrument for personal use, more precisely, in the form of a toothbrush, having a manually operable personal hygiene instrument, more precisely, a toothbrush as well as a display device for displaying interactive representations, which can be interactively controlled from the personal hygiene instrument by a control device. Pursuant to the invention the control device incorporates a game controller for controlling a video game on the display device as well as an information controller for making information available on the display device, whereby a switching device, which can be actuated by a switching key, is provided for switching the game display generated by the game controller to the information display generated by the information controller on the display device and/or vice versa. The aforementioned game and information controllers do not need separate hardware modules, but can instead be realized in the form of various software modules within a mutual microcontroller.
