Oral care device having a pump-free fluid delivery system
A powered oral care apparatus (2) has a pump-free fluid delivery system for delivering one or more fluids to the oral cavity of a user. The oral care apparatus may employ an oral care assembly (30) that has a capsule member (38) for delivering fluid through a number of openings (31, 46) in response to movement of a head (4) of the oral care apparatus. The oral care apparatus may also employ an oral care assembly (62) having a diaphragm member (84) and a mass member (88) coupled thereto wherein, in response to motion being imparted to the brushhead, the mass member and diaphragm member generate a pumping force to cause fluid to be delivered out of the oral care assembly.
UNIT DOSE ORAL CLEANING DEVICE AND PRODUCT DISPENSING SYSTEM
An oral cleaning device includes an elongated, hollow body, a cleaning head, and a neck portion extending between the hollow body and the cleaning head. The neck portion forms a fluid channel between the hollow body and the cleaning head and the cleaning head includes at least one opening in fluid communication with the fluid channel. The device further includes a plunger located within the hollow body, movable between a first position and a second position, and a solution chamber formed within the hollow body which contains a cleaning solution and is in fluid communication with the fluid channel in the neck portion. A cleaning end of the plunger is configured to move the cleaning solution in the solution chamber through the fluid channel and through the at least one opening in the cleaning head when the plunger is moved from the first position toward the second position.
CLEANING DEVICE
A cleaning device includes a bristle bundle and a handle. The handle has a tubular structure and includes a straight part and a bent part, and the bent part is located at the end of the straight part. The bristle bundle is detachably placed in the tubular structure of the handle, and one end of the bristle bundle extends out of the bent part.
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 and a moveable funnel configured to slide in the interior portion of the container. The moveable funnel includes a funnel portion having a base connected to a tube, where a distal end of the tube includes a cutting edge angled relative to a central axis of the tube. The system further includes a toothbrush supported by the tube, the toothbrush having a handle extending out from the container.
ORAL CARE DEVICE
In accordance with one aspect, an oral care device is provided that includes a body and a base connected to the body. The oral care device includes a mouthpiece extending from the base and an oral care product reservoir in communication with the mouthpiece. A plurality of brushing walls extend from the base about the mouthpiece.
Brush, in particular toothbrush, and associated production method
A brush, particularly a toothbrush, includes a head part with a cleaning structure that includes bristles, a hand part and a neck part, a cavity including at least one outlet opening for an active substance being located in the head or neck part. In one embodiment, the cavity incorporates an active substance element, containing the active substance in a carrier material and releases said substance in a controlled manner when it comes into contact with water. In another embodiment, the cavity is adapted to the shape of an active substance element by means of defined external contours. The volume of the cavity is preferably 1-2 times and no more than 4 times greater than the volume of the active substance element, ensuring that the latter is preferably surrounded by water during use. This allows the active substance to be effectively metered and ensures that the brush is easy to use.
Powered oral care implement
A powered toothbrush includes a handle, a power source disposed in the handle, a head including a cavity disposed at a distal end of the handle, an electrically conducting element disposed in the cavity and electrically connected to the power source, and a movable cleaning element connected to the head and movable relative to the cavity. The movable cleaning element includes a tooth cleaning support member, a tooth cleaning element mounted on the support member, and a ferromagnetic member. Application of an electrical current to the electrically conducting element generates a magnetic field at the electrically conducting element. The magnetic field selectively at least one of attracts and repels the ferromagnetic member to move the movable cleaning element relative to the electrically conducting element.
PERSONAL HYGIENE DEVICE FOR CLEANING A BELLY BUTTON
In various embodiments, a personal hygiene device for cleaning a belly button includes a tapered sponge and a handle coupled to and extending from a rear surface of the tapered sponge.
Oral Care Implement and Filament Therefor
An oral care implement that includes a handle and a head, the head having a front surface. A tuft extends from the front surface of the head along an axis and has a plurality of filaments formed of an elastomeric material. A sleeve circumferentially surrounds a first portion of the tuft while a second portion of the tuft protrudes beyond a distal end of the sleeve.
Unit dose oral cleaning device and product dispensing system
An oral cleaning device includes an elongated, hollow body, a cleaning head, and a neck portion extending between the hollow body and the cleaning head. The neck portion forms a fluid channel between the hollow body and the cleaning head and the cleaning head includes at least one opening in fluid communication with the fluid channel. The device further includes a plunger located within the hollow body, movable between a first position and a second position, and a solution chamber formed within the hollow body which contains a cleaning solution and is in fluid communication with the fluid channel in the hollow neck portion. A cleaning end of the plunger is configured to move the cleaning solution in the solution chamber through the fluid channel and through the at least one opening in the cleaning head when the plunger is moved from the first position toward the second position.
