A refill head (100), and oral care implement incorporating the same, wherein the refill head (100) can be uncoupled from a stem (220) of a handle (200) by withdrawing the refill head (100) from the stem of a handle (200) along the longitudinal axis of the oral care implement, which results in locking members (134) on the refill head (100) disengaging from an engagement rib (230) on the stem (220). The locking members (134) and engagement rib (230) may be aligned with or angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the oral care implement. A portion of the stem may be visible through a portion of the refill head to reinforce the proper connection between the refill head and the handle.

The present disclosure relates to an electric orifice cleaning brush including a brush head, a brush head mounting platform onto which the brush head is detachably mounted, and a motor holder for supporting the brush head mounting platform and accommodating a motor. The brush head includes a bristle implanting portion in the shape of a truncated cone and comprising a center region and bristles formed in bristle bindles. The bristle bindles are disposed outside the center region of the bristle implanting portion and are radially distributed in an evenly spaced manner. By means of the present disclosure, a complete cleaning of an orifice of a human body can be achieved, and damages to the orifice can be avoided.

An electrical toothbrush head includes a toothbrush body and an insertion piece that includes a core channel and a sideway slot in which an elastic bar is arranged. The core channel has a contact engagement surface. The elastic bar has a curved section. When the vibration core is inserted into the core channel, the contact engagement surface and the curved section respectively contact and engage with core side surfaces of the vibration core, and the elastic bar is pushed to elastically deform away from the contact engagement surface. When the electrical toothbrush head and the toothbrush handle are combined, the vibration core is clamped between the contact engagement surface and the curved section and the elastic bar deforms outward and the elastic filler block is compressed, such that the elastic filler block and the elastic bar cause the curved section to be in elastic engagement with the vibration core.

The present disclosure provides a brushhead for a power toothbrush detachably, and the power toothbrush. The brushhead configured for a power toothbrush, the brushhead being detachably installed on a handle of the power toothbrush, the brushhead comprising: a brushhead element and an engaging assembly arranged in the brushhead element, wherein the engaging assembly receives a driving shaft therein within and is configured to be driven by the driving shaft to vibrate, and wherein the engaging assembly comprises a main body and an elastic member, the elastic member is a stand-alone element arranged on the main body, and the elastic member abuts against the driving shaft.

Embodiments are described wherein a system for brushing the teeth of a person comprises a master input device; a flexible teeth tray configured to at least partially encapsulate one or more of the teeth in a flexible substrate material, the flexible teeth tray comprising one or more vibratory transducers removably coupled to one or more brushing panels; and a controller operatively coupled to the master input device and the one or more vibratory transducers; wherein subject to an input from the master input device, the controller is configured to cause reciprocating brushing motion of the one or more brushing panels against a surface of the one or more encapsulated teeth, to clean the one or more teeth.

A pump toothbrush having a toothpaste tube to dispense dentifrice material to top of bristle head is disclosed. The pump toothbrush has a pump head with a resilient button to create an internal vacuum force to draw the dentifrice material from the toothpaste tube. The toothpaste tube is supported by width-limiting fingers to prevent total collapsing of sidewalls resulting in blocking of its flow channel. A self-closing spout is used for preventing backflow. For a manual pump toothbrush the toothpaste tube has an oval-shaped shoulder for mating with the oval-shaped shoulder of a detachable handle for fastening the toothpaste tube by threads. For an electrical pump toothbrush, a detachable endcap connector is used for swinging out the toothpaste tube from its handle for replacement. A sonic vibration model uses rubber molding to minimize vibration on the handle. A dual-rotary model has two rotary bristle elements engaged by gear teeth.

A contour-adjustable toothbrush is a device that provides a more thorough brushing experience while eliminating the need to remove the device from the mouth during brushing. A first brushing assembly and a second brushing assembly are slidably engaged into a housing handle that may be grasped by the user. The first brushing assembly and the second brushing assembly each include a flexible brush head with a concave surface. The concave surface of the first brushing assembly is oriented away from the concave surface of the second brushing assembly, enabling the first brushing assembly and the second brushing assembly to clean the upper teeth and lower teeth simultaneously. The first brushing assembly and the second brushing assembly are independently adjustable in order to adjust the length of the device. An electronic variant of the device includes a power supply and at least one actuator.

A personal care appliance (10) comprises a handle (12), an attachment (14), and a controller (16). The handle (12) includes an actuator (20) and drive shaft (22). The attachment (14) has a body (30) with a principal axis (32) extending between a proximal end and a distal end thereof, wherein the proximal end couples to the drive shaft. The attachment (14) further includes a mass-spring identifiable assembly (40) having at least one identifiable resonant frequency in response to a given excitation, wherein the at least one identifiable resonant frequency comprises a resonant frequency selected from at least two different resonant frequencies. The controller (16) is configured to control the attachment (14), via the actuator(20), over a predefined range of frequencies that includes the given excitation. The controller (16) is further configured, in at least a detection mode, to uniquely recognize the attachment (14) via detecting a presence of the at least one identifiable resonant frequency of the mass-spring identifiable assembly (40) of the attachment (14) in response to the given excitation.

A toothbrush (100) having a combination of tapered and non-tapered cleaning elements (50) for enhanced cleaning effects and having a plurality of tapered bristle tufts of differing tuft configurations including, a first tapered bristle tuft (500) having a dome-shaped bristle tip profile (520) toward one end (210) of the head (200), a second tapered bristle tuft (602) having an arcuate-shaped bristle configuration (622) toward an opposite end (222) of the head (200), and a plurality of laterally-extending third tapered bristle tufts (600) arranged in an alternating fashion with non-tapered bristle tufts (630) and disposed between the first and second tapered bristle tufts (500, 602).

The present disclosure provides a brushhead for a power toothbrush detachably, and the power toothbrush. The brushhead configured for a power toothbrush, the brushhead being detachably installed on a handle of the power toothbrush, the brushhead comprising: a brushhead element and an engaging assembly arranged in the brushhead element, wherein the engaging assembly receives a driving shaft therein within and is configured to be driven by the driving shaft to vibrate, and wherein the engaging assembly comprises a main body and an elastic member, the elastic member is a stand-alone element arranged on the main body, and the elastic member abuts against the driving shaft.
