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 the productivity of the interdental cleaning tool, and provided is a method for manufacturing the interdental cleaning tool. A plurality of cleaning portion recesses (14) which penetrate a cleaning soft portion (21) and form recesses (14a) in a core base portion (12) are formed on each of a first side portion and a second side portion of a cleaning portion (2) at an interval in an axial direction of a cleaning soft portion (21), and at least one of the plurality of cleaning portion recesses (14) is formed so that an opening of the core base portion recess formed in the core base portion has a shape elongated in the axial direction of the cleaning portion.

Provided is a silicone scrub brush glove for dishwashing which is entirely made of silicone and has a protrusion-type scrub brush which is made of silicone and integrated with the glove into a single piece on the area of the palm and the bottom surface of the fingers. The silicone scrub brush glove has advantageous effects of resolving or improving the problems involved in existing rubber gloves.

A mount for an oral appliance. The mount comprises one or more holes that are configured to, when the mount is stretched in a first direction, cause a further deformation of the mount in at least one other direction, for example, to cause a bending or folding of the mount to improve clamping and conformation of the mount to oral tissues.

A hand attachable animal washing apparatus, attachable upon the hand of a user, is provided enabling singlehanded control of water flow and application of water into the coat of an animal. Control of water flow though a molded body portion is effective by singlehanded operation of a valve assembly disposed interiorly within the molded body portion. A user is enabled to open and close the valve assembly by compressing a compressible portion disposed proximally overlying the user's palm when wearing the apparatus upon one hand. A user may thereby control and apply to water applied to an animal with one hand while securing and comforting the animal with the other hand.

A composite safety toothbrush is disclosed, and in particular, one that provides safety features for a prison environment and one that performs in longevity and bristle retention. Methods are also disclosed for making and forming the composite. 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, also providing safety in a prison environment.

A hairbrush includes a base including a plurality of rows of bristles; a handle; and a flexible member interconnecting the base and the handle so that the base is configured to flex relative to the handle and the handle is configured to flex relative to the base. The flexible member includes curved parts and straight parts alternated with the curved parts.

A body care brush, in particular a facial brush, has a brush head, which contains a cleaning-element carrier that bears cleaning elements. The brush is able to efficiently clean body regions that are difficult to access. The body care brush is developed in such a way that the cleaning-element carrier is formed by at least two cleaning-element carrier parts, which are movably supported in relation to each other and which bear cleaning elements. A returning mechanism is provided between the cleaning-element carrier parts, by way of which the cleaning-element carrier parts are coupled to a base part. The base part is arranged centrally with respect to the cleaning-element carrier and on a side of the cleaning-element carrier facing away from the cleaning elements.

Disclosed is an oral care implement comprising: a body having a head portion having a front side and a rear side, at least one cleaning element disposed at the front side of the head portion of the body, and a rim extending from the rear side of the head portion of the body, wherein the rim includes one or more weakened portions and extends along a perimeter region of the head portion of the body; and resilient material disposed at the rear side of the head portion of the body, wherein the rim is disposed around at least a portion of the resilient material.

An improved toothbrush is provided. The improved toothbrush includes first and second flexible anchor portions; a plurality of bristles coupled to each of the first and second flexible anchor portions; and a soft pivot bar operably coupled to the flexible anchor portions. A chewing force applied to the pivot bar causes the pivot bar and the first and second flexible anchor portions to compress against a tooth surface to cause a cleaning action.

A brush head (100) having a distal end, including: an elastomeric matrix (30) including a first surface (32), and a plurality of retention rings (50) disposed in the elastomeric matrix, each of which includes a first end (51), a second end (53) positioned closer to the first surface of the elastomeric matrix than the first end, an interior wall (55) with a central longitudinal axis (111), and an exterior wall (57). The interior wall of at least a first retention ring is generally circular in shape; the interior wall of at least a second retention ring is generally non-circular in shape; the exterior wall is generally non-circular in shape; and at least one of the interior wall or the exterior wall includes a taper (61, 63). The brush head can also include a plurality of bristle tufts (21), each of which is inserted into one of the plurality of retaining rings.
