Oral care implement with adjustable cleaning elements
In some embodiments an oral care implement herein may be embodied as a toothbrush having a head disposed at a distal end of a handle. The head may include a fixed bristle support and at least two movable bristle supports, movable relative to the fixed bristle support and relative to each other. An actuator is disposed to actuate the movable bristle supports between a brushing position in which bristles on the fixed bristle support and the movable bristle supports are substantially parallel and an interdental cleaning position in which the movable bristle supports are moved relative to each other such that the bristles on the movable bristle supports are angled toward each other. In the interdental cleaning position, the bristles may form a point or similar bristle tip, which may be useful for interdental cleaning.
Pool Cleaning Systems
A pool cleaning system is provided. The system includes a pool pole. The system also includes an angled attachment device configured to connect to an end of the pool pole. The system additionally includes specialty tools structured to connect to an end of the angled attachment device. The angled attachment device is structured to connect to pool poles and to specialty devices in such a way to provide a plurality of angles to allow cleaning of pool surfaces and pool surface areas in an effective, efficient, and ergonomically friendly fashion for pool cleaning personnel. The pool cleaning system is arranged to change the angles at which the surfaces are being cleaned without having to change out components.
ADJUSTABLE APPLICATOR
An adjustable applicator comprising an application member comprising a first portion, a second portion and an end cap. The first portion comprises of a hollow core having a cavity and a plurality of application elements on an outer surface of the hollow core. The second portion comprises at least two flexible arms extending from a distal end of the first portion towards the end cap of the application member. The adjustable applicator is capable of being adjusted between a first configuration in which the at least two flexible arms of the second portion take up a convex shape and a second configuration in which the at least two flexible arms of the second portion are twisted.
APPLICATION OF COSMETIC PRODUCT, SUCH AS MASCARA
A device for applying a cosmetic product, such as mascara, intended to be associated with a mascara reservoir. The device comprises a handling cap, forming a cap and a means for holding, moving and manoeuvring the application device, a rod portion having a main direction, a first end where it is associated with the handling cap and a second end section including a second end portion that terminates it, an application portion extending along a main axis, including a support member having two ends, provided with radial application members, hingedly mounted in an articulation zone and by articulation means on the rod portion at its second end portion, about a pivot axis, so that it can occupy a centred position and an extreme inclined position and be pivoted from one to the other, the articulation zone, the articulation means and the pivot axis being located in the median section of the support member, spaced from each of its both ends.
Oral care implement
An oral care implement having a handle, a head, and at least one movable cleaning element coupled to the head. The movable cleaning element may be used as an interdental cleaner. The movable cleaning element may be positioned within a loop formed by fixed cleaning elements on the head. The movable cleaning element may be coupled to an actuator that moves the movable cleaning element between a first position wherein a distal tip of the movable cleaning element is spaced a first distance from a front surface of the head and a second position wherein the distal tip of the movable cleaning element is spaced a second distance from the front surface of the head, the second distance being greater than the first distance. The movable cleaning element may maintain the first and second positions until subsequent actuation of the actuator.
Oral care implement
An oral care implement in one embodiment includes an elongated body comprising a head portion supporting plurality of tooth cleaning elements and a handle portion. The tooth cleaning elements are disposed on longitudinally extending bristle carrier sections hingedly coupled together about a common pivot axis. The axis may be formed by a flexible web. A slidable actuator mounted in the handle portion is mechanically coupled to the bristle carrier assembly by an elongated operating rod. Moving the actuator in opposing rearward and forward directions opens or folds the bristles on the carriers outwards or inwards respectively about the common pivot axis. In the folded position, the bristles are configured for interdental cleaning of the teeth. In the open or extended position, the bristles are configured for general purpose cleaning of the teeth.
Composite Toothbrush Having Safety Features And Methods of Making Same
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.
Paint brush head with paint catch funnel, flexible, extendable, and compressible body and connecting handle
A paint brush system, including a number of bristles held together inside the paint catch funnel and at also a bristles holder of the base providing a paint catch funnel circumferentially and about a lower enclosed area about each of the bristles, therein forming of the catch funnels of the base of the paint brush; whereas the paint catch funnel is connected to the upper part of the head, and between a bottom head and the top connector of the flex accordion-like neck, the neck is inserted and locked into the bottom head; at the bottom of the flex accordion-like neck, linearly repeatedly and extensively an element and also providing a transversely aspect of the flex accordion-like element and providing from an uppermost to a bottommost, and of the repeatedly element accordion ends; and further a threaded nonslip handle is provided at the end of the paint brush system.
ANGLE ADJUSTABLE PAINT APPLICATOR ASSEMBLY
An angle adjustable paint applicator assembly for painting at different angles includes a head that has an outer end, an inner end and a perimeter wall that is attached to and extends between the outer and inner ends. A plurality of bristles is attached to the head and extends outwardly away from the outer end. A handle is included and has a first end and a second end. A coupler is pivotally couples the first end of the handle to the inner end of the head. The coupler includes a securing member to releasably secure the head a selected angle relative to the handle.
