Toothbrushes and audible signal generating components thereof
A toothbrush comprising a drive mechanism and electronic circuitry configured to drive the drive mechanism to execute toothbrushing motions is disclosed. The electronic circuitry comprises a drive circuitry and a controller which is configured to form a drive signal to operate the drive circuitry to generate drive current. The drive signal comprises a plurality of signal packets, wherein a signal packet has a signal packet duration and comprises a train of switching signals. The switching signals are configured to repeatedly switch on and switch off drive current supply to the drive mechanism at a switching frequency f.sub.s. The signal packet duration is configured to define a rhythm of toothbrushing motions.
Makeup extension wand system
A makeup extension wand system includes a body, including a frame with left and right vertical frame segment, and a stationary axle; and extension wand assemblies, rotatably and detachably mounted to the stationary axle, each including an extension shaft, an applicator tip, and a connector portion that can be rear or front offset, such that each extension wand assembly is rotatable to a vertical folded-in orientation for storage of the extension wand assembly and to a folded-out orientation for use of the extension wand assembly.
Smart Brushes and Accessories Systems and Methods
The present invention comprises systems and methods for using a specialized styling device, such as a smart hairbrush, smart comb, or accessories, which allow for the collection of data from the devices, and for users to interact over a wireless network. The devices may including a wireless radio frequency modem connected to the internet and a battery to power components, including lights, speakers, cameras, microphones, and sensors. A smart brush may allow for computations through processors, memory, system-on-a-chip, applications, batteries, operating systems, and wired or wireless communication interfaces. It is also possible for the smart brush to connect with other electronic devices, including phones, tablets, and cameras in order to share electrical power and communicate over one or more interfaces. A smart brush may operate as an independent mobile device or within a smart home or other system with multiple computing devices, appliances, and sensors connected together within a network.
Systems and methods for providing motivation feedback to a user before brushing
An oral cleaning system provides motivating feedback to a user before brushing and includes: a power toothbrush (10); one or more sensors (26) on or within the toothbrush; a processor (30) within the toothbrush configured to process sensor information obtained from the one or more sensors during a first brushing session of a user; and a feedback system (40) on or within the toothbrush responsive to the processor and configured to communicate brushing information to the user at a time subsequent to the first brushing session but before a second brushing session of the user.
MUSICAL TOOTHBRUSH ASSEMBLY
According to a preferred embodiment, a toothbrush assembly is provided including a powered toothbrush having a body with a head for oral care with tooth cleaning elements and a handle. A removable storage unit forms a portion of the handle. A first power button and a second power button are provided. The powered toothbrush is paired with a blue tooth speaker for audibly transmitting digitally transmitted signals to the user's surroundings.
Toothbrush with suctioning and cleaning functions
A toothbrush with suctioning and cleaning functions according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a toothbrush rod including a head portion and a handle portion, a brush disposed at the head portion, a through-hole portion formed at the head portion to supply cleaning water to an oral cavity or suction in dirty water from the oral cavity, a guide tube disposed within the toothbrush rod and connected to the through-hole portion to deliver the cleaning water to the through-hole portion or deliver the dirty water suctioned in through the through-hole portion to the outside, and an external main body to supply the cleaning water to the guide tube and to receive the dirty water from the guide tube.
Power toothbrush with multiple bristle motions producing an audible sound
A power toothbrush includes a handle having a driving system therein. The driving system is responsive to two drive signals. One drive signal produces a clinically effective cleansing action for the teeth, while the other drive signal is arranged to produce audible sounds from the toothbrush which are cognitively stimulating or relaxing.
TOOTHBRUSH WITH SUCTIONING AND CLEANING FUNCTIONS
A toothbrush with suctioning and cleaning functions according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a toothbrush rod including a head portion and a handle portion, a brush disposed at the head portion, a through-hole portion formed at the head portion to supply cleaning water to an oral cavity or suction in dirty water from the oral cavity, a guide tube disposed within the toothbrush rod and connected to the through-hole portion to deliver the cleaning water to the through-hole portion or deliver the dirty water suctioned in through the through-hole portion to the outside, and an external main body to supply the cleaning water to the guide tube and to receive the dirty water from the guide tube.
SMART ORAL HYGIENE AID
A method, system, apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium for determining a user's state of oral hygiene including a hollow handle member having an internal chamber to house a fluid cartridge, a head member connected on one end to the handle member to rotate at fixed angular increments, a head platform including at least one bristle platform, an fluid conduit that is disposed within the head member and a fluid cartridge including at least one fluid chamber and a negotiating neck to attach to the negotiating portal, and circuitry configured to detect a brushing motion, identify at least one type of the at least one oral hygiene fluid within the oral hygiene fluid chamber and regulate a predetermined output quantity of the oral hygiene fluid to the moldable shape head via the oral hygiene fluid conduit based on the detected brushing motion.
Mop/broom with an air dryer
A mop air dryer combination comprising: a mop head; an air dryer, wherein the air dryer is positioned above the mop head; an adjustable clip extending from the air dryer; and a handle inserted into the adjustable clip extending from the air dryer. In one particular embodiment, the handle further includes an audio player or a radio integrated into the handle. Alternatively in another exemplary embodiment, the air dryer may be used in conjunction with a broom.
