A system for the application of mascara to both eyes using the dominant hand. The system has a container and an applicator. The applicator is used to transfer mascara from the container to the eyes. The applicator has a handle, a brush head and a rod. The handle progresses along an imaginary midline and supports the brush head in line with, or parallel to, the midline. The rod has at least one offset section. The rod is long enough to enable a person to position the brush head in front of the left eye from the right side of the head, or in front of the right eye from the left side of the head. The offset section of the rod prevents the applicator from blocking the vision from a near eye when applying mascara across the face to a far eye.

A toothbrush having a handle and a head provided with bristles. The head is mounted pivotably with respect to the handle, and the handle has at one end two arms projecting along a longitudinal axis of the handle and defining a space. The head is pivotably mounted in the space defined by the arms.

A tool for cleaning a structure is provided. The tool includes an extension pole having a length, the extension pole including three or more cylindrical segments having different respective diameters, the segments being arranged in a telescoping configuration to permit the length of the extension pole to be adjusted to a desired length; locking nuts structured to releasably lock adjacent ones of the segments to one another; a grip provided on a most proximal one of the segments; and an attachment member provided on a most distal one of the segments, the attachment member being structured to removably attach at least one cleaning accessory.

An ergonomic lateral sweeping device is described. In an embodiment, the device has a sweeping head such as a broom or rake head, and an elongated pole attached to the head. A paddle is rotatably attached to the elongated pole opposite the head, the paddle being wider than the elongated pole. The paddle has a front surface and a rear surface that extend horizontally and vertically so as to provide an area of contact between an arm and a torso. A handle is attached to the pole between the paddle and the sweeping head for rotation about a single axis with respect to the paddle. The handle has a hand grip to receive a rotational force to control a rotational position of the sweeping head with respect to the paddle, wherein the handle and the sweeping head rotate together with respect to the paddle about the single axis.

A toilet brush 1 having an articulated connection 5 between brush head 4 and brush handle 3 has a targeted blocking or lock in one of the two possible pivoting directions of the articulated connection 5 formed as a rotatable joint 10. For this purpose, the rotatable joint 10 is formed by the two fork ends 32, 33 at the end of the brush handle 3 and an axis 11, whereby the fork ends 32, 33 permit pivoting towards the side 15, but lock towards the other side 16, because here the two fork ends 32, 33 are connected to each other via a locking shell 41 and prevent pivoting. This locked, articulated connection 5 permits on the one hand very intensive cleaning of the outlet of the toilet basin, because the brush head 4 is bent up when pushed through and can then also clean the upper area of the outlet pipe. In addition, when the toilet brush 1 is turned, this articulated connection 5 is locked simultaneously and can clean the rest of the toilet basin with the corresponding pressure and also the inner channel at the upper edge of the toilet basin, again with the curved brush head 4. This improved cleaning effect is further optimized by the fact that practically the entire brush head 4 especially with bristles 6, 7, 8 is made of flexible, hygienically flawless material.

A tri-position hairbrush includes a modular bristle-bed, having a plurality of bristles connected thereto; and a handle, connected to the modular bristle-bed. A switching unit operates to switch and convert the modular bristle-bed among three operational states. In a first operational state, which is a Closed State, the modular bristle-bed is arranged as a cylindrical structure that spans 330 to 360 degrees of curvature, and the hairbrush operates a round hairbrush. In a second operational state, which is a Semi-Open State, the modular bristle-bed is arranged as a curved cylinder-portion of 150 to 210 degrees of curvature, and the hairbrush operates as an open-curve hairbrush. In a third operational state, which is a Fully-Open State, the modular bristle-bed is arranged as a generally-flat surface, and the hairbrush operates as a paddle hairbrush.

A truss brush assembly is provided. The truss brush assembly pivotably and rotatably interconnects an elongated telescoping pole and an arrangement of spaced apart brushes that operatively engage the underside and sides of a beam or other member of a working truss. The interconnection includes a handle mount providing a swivel connection to a channel housing supporting the arrangement of spaced apart brushes.

A wheel brush and lug nut cleaner having a handle with a rear portion and a front portion operably configured to pivot with respect to one another utilizing a pivot pin with a plurality of grooves disposed along an external perimeter thereof. The rear portion has a spring-loaded release mechanism disposed therein and having an accessible release button and a lock tab in operational communication with the release button, wherein the accessible release button is operably configured to move the lock tab to a disengaged position and an engaged position with respect to the plurality of grooves, the disengaged position operably configured to enable pivoting of the front portion with respect to the rear portion and the engaged position operably configured prevent pivoting of the front portion with respect to the rear portion. The device also includes a brush head with a plurality of bristles disposed thereon.

A toothbrush, including a head, a handle, and a first rotating structure, and the head has a rotation axis (C1) extending in a length direction; the first rotating structure includes a rotating member connected to the head and a connecting member connected to the handle, the surface of the connecting member facing the head (20) is provided with an insertion groove extending along the rotation axis (C1), and the end of the rotating member facing away from the head is inserted into the insertion groove and is rotatably connected to the connecting member; the rotating member is provided with a first snap-fit member, and the connecting member is provided with a second snap-fit member; and when there are first snap-fit members and/or second snap-fit members, any one of the first snap-fit members can pass over each second snap-fit member in sequence while rotating along with the rotating member.

A floor cleaning system and a method of cleaning a floor are provided. The cleaning system includes a flat headed mop. The system also includes a frame and at least one compartment removably coupled to the frame. A wringing assembly is fluidly coupled to the at least one compartment, the wringing assembly comprising a fixed extractor element and at least one roller movable from a first position when the mop head is being inserted to a second position when the mop head is being withdrawn.
