Oral Care Implement
An oral care implement having electrodes thereon. In one aspect, the oral care implement may include a handle and a head, the head having a front surface and an opposite rear surface. A plurality of tooth cleaning elements may extend from the front surface of the head. A soft tissue cleaner may be located on the rear surface of the head, the soft tissue cleaner including a protuberance field. A first electrode and a second electrode are each operably coupled to a power source to have opposite electrical charges. The first and second electrodes may be spaced apart from one another and substantially surround the protuberance field. In other embodiments, the first and second electrodes may be embedded within or otherwise located within the protuberance field.
Cartridge for an applicator container
A discardable cartridge (310) having a limited quantity of a lip balm that is loaded into a closable applicator container, such as a piece of jewelry or a wearable accessory. The cartridge includes a rigid or resilient upper base (312) having a convex or flat top surface (314) upon which the lip balm is associated, and a volume of lip balm attached to the top surface of the base. The flat or convex top surface allows wiping the balm onto the lips single-handedly. The top surface of the cartridge includes a plurality of integrally-attached bristles (330, 332), between which the lip balm is embedded, anchoring the lip balm to the cartridge, and providing the additional function of exfoliation.
Devices and methods for oral hygiene
This application relates to oral hygiene and/teeth cleaning devices and associated methods. The devices can be configured to have a shape that allows all or substantially all of a user's teeth to be cleaned at once. In some embodiments, the devices are configured to be useable, for example, without access to water or a bathroom. The devices can be used to freshen up and clean the user's mouth on-the-go. In some embodiments, the devices are disposable.
UNIT DOSE ORAL CLEANING DEVICE AND PRODUCT DISPENSING SYSTEM
An oral care product dispensing system includes a container and a plurality of individually packaged items arranged in an organized fashion according to a predetermined treatment plan. At least one of the individually packaged items, or the packages in which it is contained, may be identified with a predetermined time for use. The plurality of individually packaged items may be arranged sequentially according to the predetermined time for use, such as meals, times of day, days, or intervals.
Disposable Toothbrush with a Readily-Dispensable Amount of Toothpaste
A disposable toothbrush with a readily-dispensable amount of toothpaste is an apparatus that is single-use and self-pasting. The apparatus includes a toothbrush and at least one toothpaste dispenser. The toothbrush includes a brush handle, a paste channel, and a plurality of bristles. The paste channel traverses from one side of the brush handle to the other side of the brush handle. The toothpaste dispenser is in fluid communication with an inlet of the paste channel, while an outlet of the paste channel is positioned amongst the plurality of bristles so that a quantity of retained toothpaste can be readily dispensed for use amongst the plurality of bristles.
Method of assembling an oral care implement
An oral care implement that dispenses an oral care agent during use and a method of assembling such an oral care implement. The method may include contacting a suction tool to a supporting member and then contacting the supporting member to a dissolvable element to form a sub-assembly. Next, the sub-assembly may be inserted into a cavity of a head portion of an oral care implement. Then, the suction force applied by the suction tool onto the sub-assembly may be released to leave the sub-assembly in the cavity of the head portion. Finally, an oral cleaning member may be coupled to the head portion of the oral care implement.
Unit and multi dose applicators and methods of use
A dental application device having a handle having a first end, a second end, and a containment chamber disposed within the handle. The device has a dental solution disposed within the containment chamber, a receiver tip coupled to the handle at the first end, a material passage within the receiver tip that forms a conduit between the first end and a receiving end, a frangible seal that separates the containment chamber from the material passage, and a piercing cannula in fluid communication with an applicator tip and having a distal piercing end extending toward the frangible seal. The piercing cannula is moveable between a first position and a second position. When in the first position, the piercing end is spaced apart from the frangible seal, and in the second position, the piercing end punctures the frangible seal and fluidly connects the dental solution with the applicator tip.
ORAL CARE SYSTEM
The present disclosure generally relates to oral care systems and devices. An oral care system includes a container defining an interior portion. The container includes a repository provided within the interior portion and configured to hold a fluid, and a barrier configured to maintain the fluid separate from the interior portion. The barrier is configured to be breached to expose the interior portion to the fluid. The system further includes a tube configured to slide in the interior portion of the container. The tube includes a distal end configured to breach the barrier when the tube is moved in a direction of the fluid in the repository.
TWIST SEAL ORAL FLUID DELIVERY DEVICE
An oral fluid delivery device includes a housing forming at least one cavity. The cavity includes at least two reservoirs, a first reservoir and a second reservoir. The device also includes an elongated neck with a distal end having at least one distal opening for passage of a fluid, a proximal end, and a channel fluidly connected to the distal opening. The device also includes a cap at the proximal end of the elongated neck. The cap includes at least one aperture aligned with the channel of the elongated neck and is rotatably coupled to the housing such that rotating the cap relative to the housing selectively aligns the aperture with a first reservoir opening to provide fluid communication between the first reservoir and the channel, or aligns the aperture with a second reservoir opening to provide fluid communication between the second reservoir and the channel.
Automatic mascara applicator apparatus
An automatic mascara applicator apparatus for quick and even mascara application includes a housing having a housing inside. A battery cover is coupled to the housing. A battery is coupled to the battery cover. The battery is selectively engageable within the battery compartment. A motor is coupled to the housing within the housing inside and is in operational communication with the battery. The motor has a driveshaft. An activation button is coupled to the housing and is in operational communication with the motor. A brush is coupled to the motor. The brush comprises a hollow shaft filled with a mascara and a plurality of bristles. A distal end of the shaft is porous to release the mascara onto the plurality of bristles. A cap is coupled to the housing and is selectively engageable with the housing to cover the brush and the housing inside.
