A new and improved helical band actuator (HBA) is provided with a closed conduit upon a radially innermost edge portion of its first elongated fastening band that can accommodate electrical power wiring, as well as fiber optic cables, such that electrical power and computer control data can be transmitted from an electrical power source (EPS) and a central processing unit (CPU) to a powered component supported upon a load-bearing platform being elevated or raised by the new and improved helical band actuator (HBA).

An oral care device 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 golf club cleaning device for cleaning a plurality of grooves formed on a striking face of the golf club head. The golf club cleaning device includes a head portion having a pair of side arms spaced from each other to define a cleaning pocket. Each of the side arms and an end wall includes a plurality of cleaning bristles that extend into the cleaning pocket such that the cleaning bristles can remove debris from the golf club head. A pump mechanism is included in a main body of the cleaning device. The pump mechanism is operable to direct a spray of cleaning fluid onto the golf club head in the cleaning cavity. An end cap is mounted to the main body to close an internal reservoir. The end cap includes a retractable groove tool that can be used to clean the grooves on the club head.

Embodiments of hair care apparatus and methods are provided generally comprising a location to provision hair care product, an applicator and a manipulator configured to enable concurrent product application and hair manipulation, and may comprise a product heater, configured to heat product provisioned therein, or be configured for use with an external heating source such as a microwave oven, and provide application of heated product at temperatures both safe for hair health and enhanced absorption. Apparatus may comprise a source of pressure, such as a pump or piston, to generate hair product flow through an applicator, and may be configured to receive product in user fillable or prepackaged product cartridges usable in the apparatus, a product chamber within the apparatus or a removable product reservoir useable in the apparatus. An apparatus may further be configured to support a plurality of manipulators, active applicators and passive applicators.

An oral care implement for dispensing an oral care agent includes a housing, reservoir therein containing an oral care fluid, and an electrical circuit comprising first and second electrodes connected to an onboard power source. Each electrode is in contact with the oral care fluid in the housing. An actuator, operably coupled to the power source, is configured to both selectively energize the circuit and activate dispensing of the oral care fluid. An electrical charge is applied to the oral care fluid by activating the actuator when dispensing the oral care fluid. When the fluid comprises a peroxide based tooth whitening agent, the dispensed fluid pH is increased by the electrical charge which improves the efficacy of the whitener. In one embodiment, the implement is a modular system including a powered base unit and one or more interchangeable cartridges each having a reservoir containing an oral care fluid.

An electric toothbrush includes a handle provided with a liquid feeding port, a toothbrush head connected to the handle and provided with a liquid discharging port communicated to the liquid feeding port through a liquid transfer passageway, a pumping mechanism disposed at the liquid transfer passageway and used for providing a pumping force for the liquid transfer passageway so as to transfer liquid from the liquid feeding port to the liquid discharging port and spray the liquid, and a transmission mechanism disposed on the handle and connected to the toothbrush head to drive the toothbrush head have a reciprocating motion relative to the handle.

A surface cleaning device for cleaning substantially vertical surfaces includes a plate, which is pivotally engaged to a first end of a rod so that the rod extends from a first face of the plate. The plate has a second face to which a pad can be removably engaged. A canister containing a cleaning solution under pressure engageable to a valve engaged to the plate. A plurality of nozzles is engaged to the first face of the plate and is operationally engaged to and in fluidic communication with the valve. The nozzles can spray the cleaning solution past a leading edge of the plate. An actuator is engaged to the rod proximate its second end and is operationally engaged to the valve. The actuator selectively actuates the valve to dispense the cleaning solution through the nozzles onto a substantially vertical surface proximate to the leading edge of the plate.

An apparatus including but not limited to a plunger driven dispenser comprising a handle having an inner section and an outer section and a top; a storage chamber formed inside of the inner section the contains a highly viscous product, wherein the storage chamber has a tapered opening at the bottom and an aperture in the top of the storage chamber, wherein the aperture further comprises a coned tip surrounding the aperture; a syringe and plunger formed inside of the outer section that fits into the storage chamber and extrudes the cosmetic product through the coned tip aperture under pressure applied to the plunger; and an aperture in the top that receives cosmetic product from the storage chamber through the coned tip aperture and a spike to seal the storage chamber.
