A cleaning assembly for elongated articles includes a housing. A channel extends from a top to a bottom of the housing. A plurality of holes is positioned in the housing and extends annularly around an inner perimeter of the housing. Each hole extends to an interior space of the housing. A pipe, which is coupled to and extends from an outer perimeter of the housing, is in fluidic communication with the interior space. A hose connector that is coupled to the pipe distal from the housing is configured to couple the pipe to a hose. A reservoir is coupled to the pipe proximate to the housing. A tube extends between the reservoir and the pipe so that a cleaning agent in the reservoir is positioned to enter the pipe. Water from the hose and the cleaning agent exit the holes under pressure to clean an article positioned in the channel.

A dispenser that includes a resilient applicator that optimizes application of a subject fluid to a desired surface. In one embodiment, the invention is a dispenser comprising a housing having an internal reservoir containing the fluid. The resilient applicator is coupled to the housing and comprises a dispensing orifice. The resilient applicator comprises a working surface that is oriented at an oblique angle to a longitudinal axis of the housing.

A system comprising an implement and dispenser containing a fluid detachably coupled to the implement. In one embodiment, the dispenser has a housing that includes a reservoir containing a fluid and an actuator for dispensing the fluid from the dispenser. The dispenser is at least partially located within the cavity of the handle. The housing of the dispenser has at least one protuberance that protrudes radially beyond an outer surface of the handle thereby forming a ridge that a user can grip to remove the dispenser from the cavity of the handle.

There is provided an applicator device (1) for applying a composition to an end of a pipe. The applicator device comprises an applicator head (3), the applicator head having a cavity (9) with an opening into which the end of the pipe can be inserted. The applicator head comprises at least one brush (10) and at least one aperture (12) for delivering the composition into the cavity, each brush having bristles which extend into the cavity (9) to wipe against the end of the pipe, each aperture being closer to the opening of the cavity than to a base of the cavity. There is further provided an applicator device (1) comprising a supplementary brush for wiping the composition over an internal surface of the pipe, a container (60) of flux composition for connecting to the applicator device, and a method of applying a composition to an end of a pipe.

An all-in-one oral care system that includes a brush, a main body, a top cover, a bottom cover, an interdental brush, and a toothpaste cartridge. All major components are designed to be detachable and replaceable using attachment mechanisms built into each part. The oral care system utilizes a manual actuator to force toothpaste from the main body into the toothbrush head and onto the bristles when depressed. When released, the actuator creates a vacuum force that draws toothpaste from the cartridge into the main body. The vacuum force draws a plunger in the cartridge upwards to move the toothpaste to the main body.

A dental solution dispenser includes a body having a first end, a second end, and including a front housing at the first end, a twist back at the second end, and a grip that interposes the front housing and the twist back. An applicator tip is coupled to the body at the first end, and an ampoule assembly is positioned within the body and includes an ampoule sealed at one end with a frangible seal and defining a fluid chamber for storing a dental solution. A mandrel extends longitudinally within the body and provides a piercing member. The twist back is rotatable relative to the grip to pierce the frangible seal with the piercing member. A trigger is coupled to the body and pivotable between an engaged position, where the trigger engages the ampoule assembly, and a disengaged position, where the trigger disengages the ampoule assembly.

An electric tooth cleaning device; the electric tooth cleaning device includes a toothbrush, a toothbrush-actuator, a cartridge-compartment, a cartridge-door, a conduit, at least one cartridge, a cartridge-actuator, a user-interface, and at least one power-source. The electric tooth cleaning device provides users with an improved toothbrush capable of applying toothpaste to the bristles using an internal cartridge.

In accordance with one aspect, an oral care device is provided that includes a body and a base connected to the body. The oral care device includes a mouthpiece extending from the base and an oral care product reservoir in communication with the mouthpiece. A plurality of brushing walls extend from the base about the mouthpiece.

A paint applicator, kit and methodology for using the same is disclosed. For example, a paint applicator that allows a user to load a desired amount of paint, such as a water based or other low VOC paint, into the paint applicator and an advancement mechanism that dispenses paint at a rate controllable by the user is disclosed. The advancement mechanism can include a system that translates a rotational force applied to an end cap of the applicator into a linear force that advances a piston which in turn applies paint to an applicator portion. The paint applicator may be reusable or may include a ratchet system that allows for only one-time use. The methodology and kit can incorporate a syringe for loading paint into the paint applicator, thus reducing the loss of paint through spilling.
