A tongue cleaner comprises a base and a plurality of projections outwardly extending therefrom. At least one of the projections, having a first end attached to the base and a second opposite free end, includes an elongated stem and a head at the second end. The head has a first cantilevered portion and a second cantilevered portion outwardly extending from the stem. The first cantilevered portion has a first bottom surface generally facing the base and the second cantilevered portion has a second bottom surface generally facing the base. A substantial portion of the first bottom surface is inclined towards the stem while a substantial portion of the second bottom surface is inclined away from the stem.

A disposable cleaning pad having a grout cleaning brush includes a bristle attachment for use with a disposable pad. The bristle attachment is molded into a rectangular base piece forming a stand-alone removable brush that can be removably attached to a disposable pad. A top rectangular piece of similar dimensions to the base is connected to the end portion of the base by way of a hinge. The ends opposite the hinge have mating clasps that allow for the brush assembly to be securely yet removably fastened to an existing cleaning pad which is then mounted in the normal manner to the cleaning system. The brush assembly enjoys a longer life than that expected from a disposable cleaning pad thus the brush assembly may be reused many times before it needs to be replaced.

Three toothbrushes designed to adapt to the 3 different mouth shapes (narrow, average, wide) is disclosed. The 3 specific bends in the handle make it possible for the brush to stay in contact with the teeth at the corners or bend of our mouth/arch. The unique contour and placement of bristles “hug” the tooth/teeth from the occlusal/incisal all the way to the gingiva, making adaption of the brush NOT technique sensitive. The toothbrush(s) design encourages the proper brushing method used by dental professionals.

A toothbrush includes an anisotropic deformation portion (70) on a rear end side from the bristle tufting surface (11), and a bending strength in a first direction orthogonal to the bristle tufting surface that is smaller than a bending strength in a second direction orthogonal to the long axis direction and the first direction. The anisotropic deformation portion includes an elastic deformation portion (90) that connects a first region on the tip end side from the anisotropic deformation portion and a second region on the rear end side from the anisotropic deformation portion. The elastic deformation portion is elastically deformable in the first direction and the second direction, and bending load when the head portion is displaced in the first direction is lower than a bending load when the head portion is displaced in the second direction.

A toothbrush configured to provide improved cleaning of the rear surface of the upper and lower central and lateral incisors. The toothbrush includes a handle having a first end and a second end. The handle further includes an upper surface and a lower surface and additionally a middle portion intermediate the first end and second end. Secured to the first end is a first bristle group that is configured to extend downward therefrom. Adjacent to the first bristle group is a divider. The divider include a first surface proximate the first bristle group and a second surface opposite thereto. A second bristle group is secured to the second surface of the divider and extends toward said second end of said handle being perpendicular in orientation to said first bristle group. A recess is formed in the lower surface of the handle above the second bristle group.

The present disclosure provides a brushhead for a power toothbrush detachably, and the power toothbrush. The brushhead configured for a power toothbrush, the brushhead being detachably installed on a handle of the power toothbrush, the brushhead comprising: a brushhead element and an engaging assembly arranged in the brushhead element, wherein the engaging assembly receives a driving shaft therein within and is configured to be driven by the driving shaft to vibrate, and wherein the engaging assembly comprises a main body and an elastic member, the elastic member is a stand-alone element arranged on the main body, and the elastic member abuts against the driving shaft.

A surface cleaning implement for use with an elongated handle is provided. The implement includes a largely rectangular and asymmetric body region with rounded outer edges, largely planar upper and lower surfaces, and upstanding contact material coextensively disposed thereon. The body region is a largely flattened structure having a first and second leading edge corner, the corners comprising where the leading edge of the body region transitions to the side edges. The first corner comprises a large, sweeping radius for cleaning curving and open surfaces. The second corner comprises a sharp corner having a small radius, chamfered, protuberant, or largely square corner wherein overly elongated and stiffened contact material extends therefrom for contacting surfaces within corners or within confined areas. The head region includes a back end having a handle receiving sheath and suitable support therefor, wherein an elongated handle is attached thereto for use away from the user's person.

A foldable cosmetic implement may include a first portion pivotably coupled to a second portion. An applicator may be coupled to the first portion opposite a connection of the first portion to the second portion. The cosmetic implement may be movable between a stored state and an extended state. The first portion may be at least partially enclosed in a receptacle of the second portion when the cosmetic implement is in the stored state. The cosmetic implement may include a locking mechanism to retain the implement in the stored state. The locking mechanism may be actuated by squeezing first and second sides of the second portion towards each other.

A dental cleaning appliance includes a handle, a fluid reservoir for storing a working fluid, and a fluid delivery system for receiving working fluid from the fluid reservoir, and for delivering the working fluid to the teeth of a user. The fluid reservoir is delimited by a wall and a movable member which is moveable relative to the wall to vary the volume of the fluid reservoir. An expansion chamber is located adjacent to the moveable member. The volume of the fluid reservoir decreases, and the volume of the expansion chamber increases, as fluid is supplied to the fluid delivery system during use of the appliance.
