Zusammenfassung:A replacement toothbrush head includes a tubular sleeve having a brush at one end and a drive shaft receptacle at the opposite end. The receptacle extends into the sleeve from a mouth at a tube end to a shoulder spaced from the mouth within the tube. A coupling member is inserted into the receptacle, and a spring clip is positioned between the receptacle and the coupling member, the spring clip having a base positioned between the shoulder and the distal end of the coupling member and a pair of spring arms overlying the sidewall of the coupling member. At least one of the spring arms engages a flexible region of the coupling member such that the flexible region flexes to engage a drive shaft inserted into the coupling member and retain the replacement head on the drive shaft.
