An oral care implement having movable and fixed tooth cleaning elements. The oral care implement may include a handle and a head coupled to the handle. The head may include a base that is coupled to the handle and a resilient bridge coupled to the base. The resilient bridge may be flexible between a normal state in which a portion of the resilient bridge is spaced from the base by a gap and a flexed state in which a portion of the resilient bridge is moved toward the base. Tooth cleaning elements may be coupled to the resilient bridge. Furthermore, the resilient bridge may include one or more apertures through which tooth cleaning elements that are fixed to the base may extend.

A brush head having a distal end, including: an elastomeric matrix including a first surface, and a plurality of retention rings disposed in the elastomeric matrix, each of which includes a first end, a second end positioned closer to the first surface of the elastomeric matrix than the first end, an interior wall with a central longitudinal axis, and an exterior wall. The interior wall of at least a first retention ring is generally circular in shape; the interior wall of at least a second retention ring is generally non-circular in shape; the exterior wall is generally non-circular in shape; and at least one of the interior wall or the exterior wall includes a taper. The brush head can also include a plurality of bristle tufts, each of which is inserted into one of the plurality of retaining rings.

A brush head (100), including: an elastomeric matrix (30) including a first surface (32); a plurality of retention rings (50) disposed in the elastomeric matrix, each of which includes a first end (51), a second end (53) positioned closer to the first surface of the elastomeric matrix than the first end, an interior wall (55) forming an interior space (59) with a central longitudinal axis (111), and an exterior wall (57). At least one of the interior wall and the exterior wall of at least a first retention ring of the plurality of retention rings (50) includes a taper (61, 67, 73, 63, 69, 71). A plurality of bristle tufts (21), each of which comprises a plurality of bristle strands, having a proximal end (23) and a free end (25), is retained at its proximal end within the interior space of one of the plurality of retention rings.

Assisted dental cleaning device which allows brushing of both sides of the teeth and both arches simultaneously, in an assisted manner for all those unable to do it for themselves, not only due to age, but also due to disability or lack of motor skills, so that brushing is done by another person ensuring proper brushing all of the teeth of the person who is unable to do it for themselves. The device also allows for self-brushing where a reduction of cleaning time and an easier and more convenient brushing process of the two dental arches is sought, This is a device with specific application for the brushing of teeth for children, elderly or handicapped with disabilities or lack of upper extremities, It is also very useful for cleaning animals and pets' teeth.

There is provided a method of manufacture of a hair brush. The method has the steps, in the sequence of, i) forming a base layer in the form of a mesh by way of a first molding step, the base layer defining an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface, made of a first material selected from a group consisting of polypropylene (PP), nylon, polyoxymethylene (POM) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and including a plurality of recesses with apertures at the upper surface, ii) forming a substrate layer for supporting bristles of the hair brush by a second molding step of overmoulding a finishing layer over the base layer, the finishing layer made of a second material; iii) installing the bristles to the substrate layer at the recesses through the apertures; and iv) assembling the substrate layer installed with the bristles to a casing of the hair brush.

A makeup brush includes a housing having a longitudinal axis, and a drive assembly provided within the housing. The drive assembly includes a stator assembly and an armature assembly adjacent the stator assembly, the armature assembly including a mounting member held by the housing and a pivot arm member pivotably coupled to the mounting member, the pivot arm member being structured to pivot with respect to the mounting member about an axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis, wherein the stator, when energized, is structured to cause the pivot arm member to pivot with respect to the mounting member. The makeup brush also includes a brush head member having a plurality of bristles and being coupled to the pivot arm member such that pivoting movement of the pivot member causes the brush head member to oscillate relative to the housing.

A toothbrush includes a head with a new design and a handle that operates to move the head. The toothbrush head has multiple types of purpose-designed bristle-bundles precisely mapped to target specifically all dental-gingival surfaces and anatomically niches, including various dead-corner niches/surfaces that are usually not accessible by currently existing toothbrushes. Each cluster of bristle-bundles contains bristles of different sizes, diameters, hardness, lengths, angulations and colors. The head is designed to be inclined to accommodate both lingual and palatal surfaces. This toothbrush head also functions uniquely by coupling over dental arches and rotating so that the brush does not need to be lifted during movement from one end to the other. Further, moving the handle with respect to the brush head causes the width of the brush head to change to accommodate the different widths of the teeth along the dental arch.

The present invention is a full-mouth toothbrush apparatus. The full-mouth toothbrush apparatus comprises a housing, a pair of brush tines, a set of brush connectors, and a set of brush inserts. The set of brush connectors comprises a pair of first brush connectors and a second brush connector. The pair of brush tines is terminally connected adjacent to the housing. The set of brush connectors is distributed about the pair of brush tines. The pair of first brush connectors is terminally distributed along the pair of brush tines. The pair of first brush connectors is hingedly connected along the pair of brush tines. The second brush connector is slidably connected along the pair of brush tines. The second brush connector is positioned between the housing and the first pair of first brush connectors.
