Apparatus and methods for supporting and charging a dental device
An assembly for supporting and charging a dental device. The assembly has three major components comprising a charging base, a rinsing cup and a dental device. The assembly allows the charging base to wirelessly charge the dental device when the dental device is placed within the rinsing cup, which is located on top of the charging base. The bottom interior surface of the rinsing cup has a convex dome that helps stabilize the assembly. The dental device further includes a magnet to ensure stability and promote reliable charging.
DUAL HEAD TEETH CLEANING APPLIANCE
Described herein is an electronic dual-head teeth cleaning appliance that facilitates simultaneous front and rear surface cleaning of individual teeth. The teeth cleaning appliance is rechargeable, portable, lightweight, and electronic. In particular, the appliance is equipped with an ergonomic axially rotating handle, speed settings, and may have rubber bristles on the brush heads for massaging the gums during teeth cleaning. The bristles may have side-to-side or rotational action.
PERSONAL CARE DEVICE WITH A RECHARGEABLE ENERGY SOURCE
A personal-care device has a rechargeable energy storage, a charging circuit for receiving energy from an external energy source and for charging the rechargeable energy storage, a first charging mode in which the rechargeable energy storage is charged to a predetermined maximum voltage value, and a user-selectable second charging mode in which the rechargeable energy storage is charged until the voltage at the rechargeable energy source has reached a first predetermined voltage value that is lower than the predetermined maximum voltage value. The present disclosure is also concerned with a system having such a personal-care device and a charger.
Unitary cordless dental drive apparatus
The invention provides a unitary cordless dental drive apparatus in a first embodiment having a handpiece with a cantilever arm 18 extending outward and positioned to allow a dental nose cone 26 to be connected. An activating switch 20 is located at the free end of the cantilever arm 18 in a position that is convenient for manipulation by a user. In a second embodiment, a contactor 22 is mounted below the cantilever arm 18 to contact the nose cone 26 when pressed. In a third embodiment, a standard dental office foot pedal 90 is connected to a wireless transmitter 80 for sending a signal to a receiver 92 located within the handpiece 70 for activating the handpiece 70.
Care unit
The care unit according the present disclosure includes a care apparatus that includes a storage battery and a charging stand that is electrically connected to the care apparatus, and the care unit includes a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal, a fourth terminal, a first cover, a second cover, a third cover, and a fourth cover. When the care apparatus is held in a predetermined position of the charging stand, the third cover is not in contact with the first cover in a radial direction orthogonal to an insertion direction of the first cover, and the fourth cover is not in contact with the second cover in a radial direction orthogonal to an insertion direction of the second cover.
Handle for Oral Hygiene Tool
Disclosed herein are embodiments for a handle for securing a patient's mouth in place while an oral procedure is performed. A handle includes a handle head extending from a handle body, the handle head comprising exterior border bumpers to the sides. An indented portion lies in between the border bumpers, the indented portion having grooves oriented substantially perpendicular to a length of the border bumpers. The indented region is configured to receive a patient's teeth and lock the patient's mouth open by preventing the teeth from sliding off the surface of the handle head. With the patient's mouth securely open, a caregiver may then use a second tool (e.g., a toothbrush, flosser, tongue cleaner, etc.) for cleaning the patient's mouth or performing any other oral procedure.
ORAL HYGIENE SYSTEM AND METHOD
Systems and methods are generally described for an oral hygiene device. The oral hygiene device may include a handle portion and a head portion coupled to the handle portion and including a pick head interface. A pick head may be removably coupled to the pick head interface. The pick head may include a pointed pick member. An image capture device may be disposed in the head portion. The image capture device may be effective to capture image data representing images of an area proximal to a tip of the pointed pick member. A vibration element may be coupled to the pick head interface. The vibration element may be effective to vibrate the pick head.
Toothbrush system with magnetometer for dental hygiene monitoring
Tooth brushing monitoring system is disclosed that includes a toothbrush with sensors and a base station. The sensors record data regarding the quality, quantity and location of brushing and the system can analyze the data to provide feedback on the quality of brushing. This feedback provides motivation for users to increase their brushing habits, leading to a decrease in plaque, tooth decay and gingivitis.
Electric apparatus unit
An electric apparatus unit comprises electric apparatus and charging stand. Electric apparatus includes rechargeable battery, a driver that drives through electric power supplied from rechargeable battery and power receiver that supplies the electric power to rechargeable battery. Charging stand includes power transmission coil that supplies electric power to power receiver and support that supports electric apparatus.
