The present invention relates to an applicator for applying a cosmetic, makeup or care, product to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having a moulded applicator member (8) having: —a core (10) that extends along a longitudinal axis (X), —spikes (18, 15, 16) that are carried by the core (10) and are disposed in a plurality of longitudinal rows (17, 19, 20), wherein, within one longitudinal row (17) out of at least two about the longitudinal axis (X) of the core (10), at least one spike (16) is reinforced at its base and extends between spikes (15) that do not have a reinforcement.

A method for manufacturing an interdental cleaner includes providing a rod-shaped carrier made of plastic, into which laterally protruding bristles are embedded. In this case, a filament array formed of a plurality of filament strands is inserted into a holding cassette and is fixed in a predefined alignment in the holding cassette by means of a holding device. The holding cassette is then inserted into an injection-molding device and the filament array is extrusion-coated with plastic in the injection-molding device, forming a plurality of rod-shaped carriers arranged spaced apart next to one another. Finally, the filament strands forming the filament array are separated at least in the sections located between adjacent rod-shaped carriers. In addition, a device for carrying out the method is provided.

An applicator device for cosmetic and/or hygiene applications, which includes a shaft with a longitudinal axis, a proximal and a distal end as well as a carrier element, wherein at the carrier element there are arranged bristle elements in an anchor-free manner, wherein the carrier element is introduced in a receiving opening or put onto a receiving section at the distal end of the shaft and wherein the carrier element is connected to the shaft and to a respective method.

A brush is provided for cleaning a blade and mesh basket of a juicer. The brush may have a brush body having a horizontal base component and a first outer brushing surface angled relative to the horizontal base component. The horizontal base component extends laterally from the first outer brushing surface, and a groove is provided in an upper surface of the brush body, the groove arranged perpendicular to the horizontal base component. The groove is located at a transition between the horizontal base component and the first outer brushing surface. Bristles extend from the first outer brushing surface. Also provided is a juicer with a removable brush for use in a cleaning process and a method for cleaning a juicer using a removable brush.

The invention provides a body wax applicator and system for use in treatments involving the application of wax to the body for removal of undesired body hair. It is particularly suitable for use in strip-less waxing. The applicator is configured with a brush portion of silicone that has a plurality of bristles that provide an angled contact surface. The applicator and system allows for the tidy and controlled heating of hard wax and subsequent application of molten wax to the human body for the purpose of removing hair.

An interdental cleaner has a rod-shaped support which is made of plastics material and the rear end region of which has a handle part and the opposite front end region of which supports a coating made of a soft-elastic plastics material. At least one radially protruding finger which is integrally connected to the coating is arranged on the outside of the coating. A recess is formed in the outer surface of the coating, and the radially inner foot region of the finger is arranged in the recess and is connected to the coating at the bottom of the recess.

An oral care implement (100) having a head (120). The head (120) has a support structure (130) and a monolithic cleaning unit (140) that is coupled to the support structure (130). The head (120) has a side surface (123) that includes a first lateral portion (124) and a second lateral portion (125). The monolithic cleaning unit (140) includes a base portion (141) that is coupled to the support structure (130) and a plurality of bristles (150) extending from the base portion (141). The plurality of bristles (150) include a plurality of first peripheral bristles (171) positioned adjacent to the first lateral portion (124) of the head (120), a plurality of second peripheral bristles (172) positioned adjacent to the second lateral portion (125) of the head (120), and a plurality of central bristles (175). The first and second peripheral bristles (171,172) all extend obliquely from the front surface (121) of the head (120) and the central bristles (175) extend perpendicularly from the front surface (121) of the head (120).

An oral care implement including a handle and a head. The oral care implement may be formed entirely out of a resilient or flexible material. The head may include a base structure and a monolithic cleaning unit. The monolithic cleaning unit may include a block portion extending from a front surface of the base structure and a plurality of protuberances extending from a distal end of the block portion. The block portion may have a greater height than the protuberances. The protuberances may include central protuberances that extend from a distal surface of the block portion and peripheral protuberances that surround the block portion and extend from the front surface of the base structure. The monolithic cleaning unit may include ribs extending between adjacently positioned protuberances. The oral care implement may be suitable for babies.

A makeup brush head includes a holding portion and an application portion fixedly connected to the holding portion. Outwardly protruding bristles are distributed on the surface of the application portion. The holding portion, the application portion, and the bristles are integrally formed into a plastic part by injection molding. The bristles are configured for applying a cosmetic material. The makeup brush head omits the flocking process, simplifies the production process, improves the production efficiency and lowers the manufacturing cost.

A toothbrush product for cleaning an exposed mesial or distal surface of a tooth or tooth prosthesis comprising: an elongate member comprising a forward end and a backward end, wherein the elongate member comprises a handle portion and the elongate member extends in a longitudinal direction from the forward end to the backward end; a brush head, wherein the brush head comprises a plurality of tufts provided at a forward and/or a backward surface of the brush head and at least one support memberfor the brush head disposed at the forward end of the elongate member wherein the at least one support member is shaped to support the brush head at a transverse distance from the elongate member, wherein the at least one support member comprises a proximal portion and a distal portion to provide a void between the forward end and the brush head.
