An oral care implement that includes a handle and a head. The head, which has an exposed front surface and an exposed rear surface, may include a support structure having a perimetric wall that defines a central opening and a monolithic cleaning unit including a pad located within the central opening and molded bristles extending from the pad. The support structure and the pad may collectively define the exposed front surface and the exposed rear surface of the head. Furthermore, the support structure may have a maximum thickness of 3 mm or less measured from a front surface of the perimetric wall to a rear surface of the perimetric wall.

The group of useful models has to do with physiotherapeutic devices, in particular massage brooms, the task of which is to enhance their effectiveness. The massage broom has metal bristles, which have been put together compactly in a portion of the massage broom in order to form a handle, and in the remaining portion of the massage broom the bristles are separated from one another. In one of the variants, the handle or its part is formed by the metal sleeve and by the additional metal sleeve. The bristles are passed through these sleeves. Thus, the possibility exists that sound waves can be generated upon tapping. Various instances of embodiments of massage brooms in four variants are also described.

Cleaning and disinfection stick is designed in the manner of a nylon toothpick. In contrast to a toothpick, it is arcuate over its length, wherein straight embodiments are also possible. It tapers from its remaining diameter into a fine tip in at least one of its ends regions. Adjacent to the fine tip, the stick can include a round brush. Alternatively, it can also include a felt-like, textile or fluffy surface or be provided with a rod-like paper or plastic attachment. After removing a piercing, it can be inserted, leading with the fine tip into the skin hole and subsequently be pushed further into the skin hole until its cleaning body is inserted therein. It is then gently moved to and fro or rolled to and fro about its axis and pulled out again.

The present invention relates to an applicator for applying a cosmetic, makeup or care, product to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having an applicator member including a core that extends along a longitudinal axis (X), and, carried by the core, longitudinal rows of islets of spikes that are separated by areas free of spikes, wherein, in said applicator, the islets of spikes include a series of spikes in the longitudinal direction and a series of spikes in the circumferential direction.

The invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product including a first part and a second part that extend along a longitudinal direction of extension from a proximal end towards a free distal end of the applicator, the first part and the second part being configured to form parts for applying the cosmetic product, one of the parts is mounted mobile in for translational with respect to the other of the parts, from at least a first retracted position, to a second deployed position, the first and second parts are configured to form together a variable volume reservoir, intended to contain the cosmetic product and that has a first volume when the parts occupy the first retracted position and a second volume when the parts occupy the second deployed position.

A light-emitting oral care implement includes a light delivery unit that includes a passageway through a body of the oral care implement and a tuft comprising a plurality of filaments located in the passageway, each of the filaments having a core component and a sheath component. The core component may have a transmittance that is greater than the transmittance of the sheath component. The core component may include a base portion that protrudes from a lower end of the sheath component, the base portion forming an anchor portion of the tuft that anchors the tuft to the body of the oral care implement. Furthermore, the oral care implement may include a light source that transmits lights through the anchor portion of the tuft and through the core components for transmittance from the filaments at a location above a front surface of the body.

Polishing media in the form of bristles made from a porous, non-porous, or minimally porous polymer-based material, apparatus and systems including the media, and methods of forming and using the media, apparatus, and systems are disclosed. An exemplary method of manufacturing bristles for use in polishing a workpiece which includes a non-planar surface includes the steps of combining a liquid polymer comprising a TDI polyester pre-polymer having an NCO content in the range of 5% with a curative to form a polymeric material, separating the foamed polymeric material into a plurality of bristles, and stitching the bristles onto a platen.

An interdental cleaner has a rod-shaped carrier consisting of plastic, which has a cleaning device in an axial end area. The cleaning device comprises at least one fabric part, which extends in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the carrier and which has mutually intersecting thread systems with warp threads and weft threads. Provisions are made for the fabric part to be connected to the carrier and to radially project from same, wherein thread systems or the warp threads, on the one hand, and the weft threads, on the other hand, extend at an angle in the range of 20 to 70 to the longitudinal axis of the rod-shaped carrier and pass through the rod-shaped carrier.
