The present invention relates to an applicator for applying a cosmetic product to the eyelashes and/or eyebrows, having an applicator member (8) having: —a core of thermoplastic material having a longitudinal axis, the core being twisted through more than one revolution about its longitudinal axis under the effect of the twist of the metal arms of the holder, and having an endpiece that has no spikes. —spikes of thermoplastic material extending from the core, —a holder having two metal arms twisted around the core.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a sheet for use in a tongue plaque cleaner, capable of reliably cutting loops of thread members provided at a given density, and forming thread members each having a shape with an arc portion sufficient enough to scrape off tongue plaque, through steps that are simple, low-cost and suitable for mass production. A method for manufacturing a sheet 1 for use in a tongue plaque cleaner for scraping off tongue plaque, includes: a step of heating a sheet material having multiple looped thread members 2 protruding from one surface of the sheet material, at a temperature below the melting point of the thread members 2; and a step of forming first thread members 3, 8 and second thread members 4, 9 by cutting loops of the thread members 2 heated.

A floor cleaning machine having a cleaning element arrangement with inner and outer cleaning elements that include inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, that extend jointly in the cleaning body plane and have first and second receiving openings, respectively. The inner and outer cleaning elements extend from the inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, away from the cleaning body plane to one side thereof. The inner cleaning body is arranged in the second receiving opening. The output shaft extends with an output shaft section into both the first and second receiving openings. First and second eccentric elements are attached to the output shaft section and to the inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, so that when the output shaft is rotated, the inner and outer cleaning bodies perform eccentric movements that are phase-shifted with respect to one another.

A hairbrush with retractable bristles that is easy to use and maintain. The hairbrush includes a case with an open top. An outer planar cover that has apertures dispersed through its area fixes over the open top of the case. An inner plate that has the bunches of bristles embedded is encased within the case and can move towards the outer cover to push the bunches of bristles outwards through the apertures. The inner plate can be retracted to retract the bunches of bristles.

In one aspect the invention is arranged to provide a hair treatment apparatus adapted to reduce the temperature of hair. This apparatus includes at least one thermal energy storage core arranged to draw heat out of hair wherein said at least one thermal energy storage core is arranged to cool hair to a temperature below 0° Celsius.

A brush-like device that adapts to tangles in hair and allows for easy removal of hair post-groom using uniquely shaped, anisotropic papillae not unlike those found on a feline tongue.

A dust wand cleaner for dust wands that have radially-arrayed fibers that protrude to a define a generally cylindrical fiber head. The cleaner includes two open end sections and a midsection. Each end section has an internal passageway that preferably narrows from a first width that easily receives an inserted end of a generally cylindrical fiber head of a dust wand to a second width that compresses the fibers of the dust wand. The midsection has an internal passageway that is aligned with the internal passageways of the end sections, that is wider than the second width and that has inwardly extending bristles. When a dust wand is passed through the aligned passageways of the two open end sections and the midsection, debris adhering to the dust wand fibers is removed from the dust wand by being combed by the bristles.

An autonomous cleaning robot includes a drive system to move the autonomous cleaning robot about a floor surface, a cleaning head on a bottom portion of the autonomous cleaning robot, a side brush on the bottom portion of the autonomous cleaning robot, and a vacuum system in pneumatic communication with the opening. The cleaning head is configured to direct debris from the floor surface into the autonomous cleaning robot as the autonomous cleaning robot moves about the floor surface. The side brush is rotatable about a rotational axis forming a non-zero angle with a floor surface, and the side brush comprising an opening.

A cosmetic package for applying a composition including a cosmetic, care or pharmaceutical composition onto the keratinous substrate comprises a receptacle and a cosmetic applicator. The cosmetic applicator further comprises an applicator head, a stem and a closure. The applicator head includes an applying member which comprises a spatula with a first application face having a concave inner surface and a second application face having a convex outer surface.
