Countertop water flosser
11918530 · 2024-03-05 · ·

A water flosser is provided that may include a base, a reservoir positioned above the base, a lid, and a handle in fluid communication with the reservoir such as by a hose. The reservoir of the water flosser may include a recess formed in a reservoir wall for receipt of a hose support structure. An input device (e.g., a power button) may be positioned adjacent an upper portion of the water flosser, such as in or adjacent the lid. Actuation of the input device may include application of a force downward toward the base. The water flosser may include a motor having a dual output shaft, with one end of the shaft being associated with a rotary encoder or other sensing device to determine an operational characteristic of the motor. The motor may be driven by a power source such as a rechargeable battery.

ORAL DEVICE INCLUDING PH SENSOR
20190365320 · 2019-12-05 ·

An oral device for checking a time to go to a dentist. The oral device includes a pH sensor configured to measure pH within an oral cavity, a housing on which the pH sensor is mounted, a processor configured to analyze measured pH from the pH sensor, and a wireless communication unit functionally connected to the processor and configured to perform communication with an external device. The oral device is useful for a patient who needs continuous management such as an implant surgery patient by allowing the patient to visually and easily check a time to go to a dentist and an individual oral condition of the patient. Further, by allowing the user to simply check the condition of the oral cavity at home, it is possible to more effectively manage the condition of the teeth and to save medical expenses.

Oral cleansing device with energy conservation
10449023 · 2019-10-22 · ·

A brushing device including a motor having an eccentric drive shaft, an output shaft operably connected to the motor, and a power train assembly coupled between the eccentric drive shaft and the output shaft. The power train converts rotation of the eccentric drive shaft into an oscillating movement of the output shaft. The power train includes one or more conservation features that absorb energy when the output shaft rotates in a first direction and reapply energy to the output shaft when it rotates in a second direction.

Compact oral hygiene device
