A retractable cosmetic implement may be movable between multiple different use positions. In one example, the cosmetic implement may include a housing elongated along a longitudinal axis, a multi-stop positioning mechanism disposed within the housing and a cosmetic element. By actuating the positioning mechanism, the cosmetic element may move through an opening to a partially extended position and/or a fully extended position from a retracted position. The cosmetic element may have a material characteristic, such as a density of bristles, affected by its position relative to a rim of the opening.

A brush useful for washing external surfaces, such as of a vehicle. The brush comprises a plurality of bristles connected to a hub. Each bristle has an elongated shaft having a number of cleaning structures extending outwardly from the shaft, providing multiple faces and edges arranged in a circumferential manner around the shaft, and producing multiple washing actions by the bristles as they are moved adjacent the surface. The hub and bristles may be integrally molded in a first condition having a planar form, and then folded relative to the hub to position the bristles extending from the hub in a cleaning direction from the hub. The hubs are secured to mounting structures by reception of the hubs in apertures in the mounting structures. In an embodiment, the mounting surfaces comprise flexible stanchions which are moved relative to an external surface to provide high resolution washing of a vehicle surface.

A brush or broom provides an operator the ability to adjust the length of the bristles that extends from the broom. The broom handle may be attached to a broom head from which a plurality of bristles extend distally. The broom handle may howls and internal adjustment rod that may be attached to a bristle guide. The bristle guide may include one or more channels through which the bristles extend. The bristles may extend the entire length of the channel and may protrude outward from the bristle guide. The lengths to which the bristles protrude from the bristle guide may be adjusted by sliding the adjustment rod relative to the handle.

Provided is an air bag comb, including an air bag body, combing wires and a main comb body. A surface of the air bag body protrudes outward for formation of an arc-shaped working surface, a circular clamping portion is provided along a contour of a side edge of the arc-shaped working surface. The combing wires are installed on the arc-shaped working surface. The main comb body is provided with an installing groove, a side wall of the installing groove is provided with a clamping groove, a sealed chamber is formed between the cavity and the installing groove, the sealed chamber provides a space for the elastic deformation of the arc-shaped working surface, and exhaust holes are reserved in a side wall of the sealed chamber. The air bag comb is compact in structure, good in elasticity, comfortable to use and good in experience.

Washing devices comprise an integrally formed brush component including a hub having a central axis and a plurality of bristles. Each bristle includes a shaft extending from the hub and having outwardly extending cleaning structures. The bristles extend radially from the central axis of the hub. A cylindrical support comprises a webbing having an array of holes positioned to receive the bristles of the brush component, each of the bristles being received within and extending outwardly from respective holes in the webbing. Alternate embodiments comprise an integrally-formed, linear brush component including a plurality of connected hub elements, each hub element carrying a bristle. Each bristle includes an elongated shaft having multiple cleaning structures extending outwardly. A webbing comprises an array of holes positioned to receive the bristles of the linear brush component, each of the bristles being received within and extending outwardly from respective holes in the webbing.
