CLEANING COVERS FOR HANDLES OF SWIMMING POOL BRUSHES AND HANDLES OF SWIMMING POOL BRUSHES FORMED THEREWITH
A pool brush includes a handle including a proximal end and a distal end attached to a bristled head, and a cover fitted removably over a length of the handle between the proximal end and the distal end, the cover including an outer surface. Bristles for cleaning project outwardly from the outer surface of the cover. In another embodiment, protuberances for cleaning project outwardly from the outer surface of the cover.
Method for manufacturing interdental cleaning tool
To provide method for manufacturing interdental cleaner for suppressing elastomer from insufficiently filling into space around shaft portion in filling the elastomer into mold. Method for manufacturing interdental cleaner includes first step of molding base portion having handle portion and shaft portion (40) by filling composite material into first mold, and second step of forming cleaning portion, slip resistance portion and coupling portion by filling elastomer into second mold (200) from distal end portion side of shaft portion (40) with base portion situated in second mold (200), second mold (200) having second space for forming cleaning portion, slip resistance portion and coupling portion. What is used as second mold (200) in second step has ratio no less than 40% of a flow path area in second space for elastomer around distal end portion of handle portion to flow path area in second space for elastomer around proximal end portion of shaft portion (40).
Oral care implement
An oral care implement having a head and a handle. A plurality of tooth cleaning elements extend from an exposed front surface of the head. The handle has an open thumb gripping passageway extending between an exposed first surface of the handle and an exposed second surface of the handle opposite the exposed first surface. The handle also has a plurality of slots defining open slot passageways from the exposed first surface of the handle to the exposed second surface of the handle. The open thumb gripping passageway may be defined by a ring component that is fitted into an aperture in a body component. The open thumb gripping passageway may be a void space in the handle. The open slot passageways may be elongated along the handle and may serve to reduce a total amount of virgin material needed to manufacture the oral care implement.
Hair care device
A hair care device for use in untangling hair includes a body portion and a plurality of substantially parallel flexible bristles made of soft plastics material and projecting from the body portion. The bristles are arranged such that over at least a part of the area of bristles, some of the bristles are of shorter length. The bristles and the shorter length bristles are interspersed over the at least part of the area of bristles.

HOLE PERFORATION PLATE FOR MANUFACTURING OF A TOOTHBRUSH HEAD AND PART THEREOF
A method for manufacturing a toothbrush head or a part thereof comprises steps of providing a plurality of bristle tufts; providing a hole perforation plate comprising a front surface, a back surface, a thickness therebetween, and a plurality of holes grouped into a plurality of hole arrangements, wherein the front surface is uneven in an area of the hole arrangement; pushing the bristle tufts through the holes; and fusing ends of the bristle tufts at the back surface of the plate by application of thermal energy, thereby forming a plurality of fuse balls that are larger than the holes of the plate; and mounting the plate with the plurality of bristle tufts into a brush head.
Hair straightening brush
The disclosed subject matter is directed to a hairbrush. The hairbrush comprises a plurality of heating elements protruding from a face of the brush, the heating elements defining a hair treating area. The hairbrush further comprises a plurality of self-adjustable spacers projecting from at least some of the heating elements and configured for axial displacement relative to said at least some heating elements between a projecting position and a retracted position, wherein at the retracted position the at least some spacers are partially retracted into respective heating element maintaining a space between a tip of the heating elements and the scalp, and wherein the spacers are self-adjusting to the contour of a users' scalp.

DENTAL CARE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A system and method according to which dental care is provided to a young child or infant using a baby dental chair, a floss dispenser, and/or a dental care apparatus. The baby dental chair is specifically designed for the needs of a young child or an infant during a dental examination. The baby dental chair includes a tower base, a seat, and a plurality of wheels. At least one wheel of the plurality of wheels has two configurations: a wheel locked configuration to prevent the baby dental chair from moving and a wheel released configuration to enable the baby dental chair to move. The baby dental chair provides a safe and secure place to examine the teeth of young children or infants during a dental examination.
Toothbrush heads comprising a two-component cleaning element and method for producing the same
A toothbrush head, including at least one two-component cleaning element and at least one bristle tuft element, is produced by injection molding. To achieve high design flexibility regarding the arrangement of the two-component cleaning elements and regarding the material choice, the two-component cleaning elements are manufactured separately or in an upstream molding step. Then the two-component cleaning elements, together with the bristle tufts, are over-molded with plastic material, to form the brush head or a part thereof.
