INTERDENTAL BRUSH BENDABLE WITHIN ORAL CAVITY
The present invention provides a convenient interdental brush in which a bendable bellows structure similar to the corrugated portion of a straw is implemented in the interdental brush, thereby enabling the direction of bristles to be freely changed within the oral cavity.
Improved Hair Brush
The present invention is concerned with a hair brush. The hair brush has an elongate profile defining a first longitudinal axis, and has a handle portion in the form of a stick sharing the first longitudinal axis and provided with a proximal end and an distal end, and the hair brush further has a utility portion extending from the distal end of the handle portion for engaging the hair and the scalp of a user during use. The utility portion has a first floating finger and a second floating finger forking off from the distal end of the handle portion and arranged at opposite lateral ends of thereof, and at least one third floating finger arranged between the first and second floating fingers. At least one or both the first and second floating fingers are free of brushing members.
CLEANING UNIT AND CLEANING ARRANGEMENT FOR VEHICLE TIRES
A cleaning arrangement for cleaning vehicle tires is disclosed. The cleaning arrangement includes at least one cleaning module. The cleaning module has a frame with walls, a floor and a collection space for contaminants and one or more cleaning units above the collection space. The cleaning unit has a grate arrangement and a plurality of bristle rails as well as intermediate rails transverse to the direction of travel of the vehicle. At least a portion of the rails are secured to the grate arrangement by flexible arrangements that flex as the vehicle passes over the rails, causing the rails to tilt and vibrate the tire, thereby enhancing the release of contaminants from the tires.
APPLICATOR FOR COSMETIC PRODUCT, AND ASSOCIATED APPLICATOR ASSEMBLY
The invention relates to an applicator (10) for a cosmetic product comprising a core (11) extending along a main longitudinal extension direction (X), referred to as main direction, and a plurality of protrusions (12) projecting from the core (11), the core (11) comprising a plurality of flexible zones (13a, 13b) arranged in succession along the main direction (X), on which the core (11) is thinned according to a thinning axis (14a, 14b) substantially orthogonal relative to the main direction (X) so as to form two cavities (15a, 15b) that are radially opposed relative to said main direction (X), the applicator (10) comprising at least one flexible zone (13a, 13b) having a thinning axis (14a, 14b) that is angularly offset relative to the thinning axis (14b, 14a) of a flexible zone (13b, 13a) adjacent thereto.
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.
Oral Cleaning System
An oral cleaning system includes a toothbrush body with a first stem. The first stem has a rigid configuration and a first head with a first plurality of bristles. A channel is defined within the first stem and at least one fluid outlet is defined in the first head. The at least one fluid outlet is in fluid communication with the channel and is configured to facilitate irrigation of a mouth or teeth via the first head. A second stem is connected to the first stem and extends upwardly and outwardly from a distal portion of the first stem. The second stem includes a second plurality of bristles and is generally opposed and spaced from the first head. The second stem has a semi-flexible configuration such that the second head is resiliently movable inwardly or outwardly relative to the first head without substantially bending the first stem.
TOOTHBRUSH AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING TOOTHBRUSH
A toothbrush capable of inhibiting damage of an oral cavity of a user that includes: a head section that has a bristle implanting surface on a front end side; a handle section that is disposed on a rear end side from the head section and has a handle section main body; and a neck section that is disposed between the bristle implanting surface and the handle section. The toothbrush has a deforming portion that is located on the rear end side from the bristle implanting surface and is deformed, while stress characteristics associated with bending due to an external force acting on the head section are in a plane stress condition.
CLEANING DEVICES WITH SELECTIVELY FLEXIBLE OR RIGID HANDLES
A cleaning device is provided that has a handle configured to provide flexion in a first orientation but to provide rigidity in a second orientation. In this manner, the user can use the handle in the first orientation to allow the cleaning device to flex into hard to reach places and can use the same handle in the second orientation to apply differing levels of cleaning force.
DENTAL CLEANING TOOL INCLUDING PIVOTABLE BRUSH
A dental cleaning tool includes a handle defining a longitudinal axis of the tool, a floss holder a floss holder having a base and two arms extending from the base in perpendicular relation to the longitudinal axis, at least one strand of floss extending between the two arms, and a pivotable brush attached to the floss holder. The pivotable brush includes a rod and bristles disposed on the rod. The rod is pivotably mounted to the floss holder between a first, stowed position and a second, use position.
Stress control brush
A stress control brush includes a handle, a brush head, and a feedback component. The brush head is pivoted on the handle, and the brush head is pivotable relative to the handle in an angular range. The feedback component is installed between the handle and the brush head. The feedback component is resilient and has a protruding state and a breakdown-sunken state. The feedback component is pressed by the brush head and in the breakdown-sunken state when the brush head is pivoted relative to the handle, and a feedback is provided by the feedback component.
