It is provided to manufacture a resistant inner core, and to introduce it into a mould cavity having opposite footprints belonging to a lower half-mould and an upper half-mould and to subsequently inject molten plastic material into the mould cavity for manufacturing at least part of the toothbrush handle. A resistant metal core is placed into a respective footprint of the lower half-mould in contact with at least two support platforms, adapted to support the core in the proximity of a central line of the mould cavity, and before the injection of structural plastic material, to couple the lower half-mould with an upper half-mould having at least one ribbing to contact with the metal core at least in a position between the support platforms and in a position opposite thereto. | 06-13-2013 |
