A composite safety toothbrush is disclosed. The toothbrush apparatus detailed herein employs a composite head made from a rigid inner polymer material and a softer thermoplastic material surrounding the inner material. The softer material provides safety for prison toothbrush applications as well as elderly and patient care where care givers may brush the teeth of a patient. Innovative pin connectors in the inner toothbrush head assist in the composite formation. The toothbrush solution herein further importantly provides for a toothbrush having a flexible handle.

An apparatus includes a toothbrush head configured to brush teeth, an appliance brush configured to brush a dental appliance, and a body configured to be releasably coupled with either one of the toothbrush head and the appliance brush such that the appliance brush and the toothbrush head are interchangeable. The body includes a vibration component configured to vibrate the toothbrush head or the appliance brush head when coupled with the body. When the appliance brush is coupled with the body, a greater portion of the body is exposed than when the toothbrush head is coupled with the body.

A cleaning brush comprises a removable handle and a brush. The removable handle includes a connector portion having a backing plate with means for connecting the handle to a brush, and means for releasing the handle to detach the handle from the brush. The brush includes a brush plate having means configured to receive the means for connecting and detaching the handle from the brush plate. The brush plate has a rigid portion and a flexible portion. The flexible portion may include segments defined by channels in the flexible portion.

A cleaning device for use with a cleaning fabric is provided. The device includes a plate, a connection member, a plurality of fingers, a wiper assembly, and a grip. The plate has a first side and a second side. The connection member retains the cleaning fabric to the plate. The fingers depend from the first side and provide a gap between the first side and the cleaning fabric during use. The wiper assembly has at least one elongated wiper blade that divides the fingers into a front section and a rear section. The grip depends from the second side.

There is herein provided a hair brush comprising a body portion formed from a material having a first flexibility; and a bristle mount formed from a material having a second, lesser, flexibility, coupled to the body portion, the bristle mount comprising a plurality of mount sections, each mount section having at least one bristle mounted thereon, wherein the mount sections are movable relative to one another in three dimensions such that the relative flexibility of the overall bristle mount is greater than the second flexibility, thereby enabling the bristle mount to substantially replicate bending or flexing of the body portion. Such a brush is highly flexible yet effective and may be easily adapted or shaped by a user to conform to the contours of, for example, a head or body.

Provided is an interdental cleaning tool which has a simple configuration and can effectively prevent an occurrence of breakage of a core base portion when inserting the interdental cleaning tool into an interdental space or during interdental cleaning without reducing productivity of the interdental cleaning tool, and provided is a method for manufacturing the interdental cleaning tool.
