A footwear cleaning system including an outer housing that encases an internal compartment, which is designed, sized, and shaped to receive a footwear item therein, such as an athletic shoe, dress shoe, platform shoe, or other similar footwear item. The footwear cleaning system includes one or more rotatable cleaning disks disposed within the internal compartment, such that the cleaning disks are configured to interact with a bottom surface of a footwear item. One or more fluidic conduits terminate at a location that is proximate to the internal compartment, such that water, cleaning solutions, concentrated cleaning products, alcohol, and other fluids can be dispelled into the internal compartment to interact with a footwear item.

A personal care appliance includes a housing, a drive assembly provided in the housing, and a workpiece member. The drive assembly includes a stator and an armature adjacent the stator, wherein the stator, when energized, is structured to cause the armature to oscillate back and forth. The personal care appliance further includes a mounting assembly having a pivot arm having a shaft member and first and second mounting members. The workpiece member is coupled to the first end portion of the shaft member such that oscillation of the armature causes the workpiece member to oscillate relative to the housing.

A rotating grooming brush comprising a brush hub having grooming elements and shroud elements, and method for grooming a surface having an unwanted material thereon. The elements extend from the brush hub and may be positioned near its outer periphery. The elements may be grooming elements forming an array and shroud elements forming a shroud array. A rigid or elastomeric shroud extending from the brush hub surface may optionally be included about the edge of the brush hub, to the outside of the grooming elements. Rotation of the grooming attachment brush causes a low pressure region to build in the central area of the brush. This low pressure region creates a resulting force that forcefully attracts the grooming attachment brush to the surface to be groomed. The resulting force is controlled by the diameter of the brush hub, arrangement, of the elements and the speed of rotation.

An automatic suction cleaning structure is disclosed. The automatic suction cleaning structure is disposed on a cleaner body. The automatic suction cleaning structure comprises a fixing base (1) connected to the cleaner body and a number of brush heads (2) arranged on the fixing base (1). The brush heads (2) are made of silica gel, and are of a hexagon shape and a hollow structure. The number of brush heads (2) are arranged on the fixing base (1) in an array and distributed in a cellular arrangement. By arranging the cellular brush heads (2) of a hollow structure and utilizing a suction force produced by the tightly-attached brush heads (2) during use, dirt on the skin surface is sucked automatically by means of a sucking disc principle in a process of contact with the skin, to allow more thorough cleaning. A cleaner is also provided.

Disclosed is self-propelled equipment for street sweeping and/or weeding, where modifications were made to the cleaning system of the filters, the battery for driving the motors with electric start, front fairing assembly over the turbine, combustion or electric motor, debris suction pipe, hydraulic components, headlights, motor protection and brooms and motors for each front wheel and telescopic brooms that will act at a 180° angle by sweeping away debris from the sidewalk or even from the street ahead of the main brooms.

A rotary brush configured to isolate vibration during use reducing vibration at a hand-held power tool to which the brush is coupled. The brush has wires arrangeable in tufts extending from a hub sandwiched between two plates assembled to a tool coupling having an isolator therebetween. The isolator and coupling are part of a vibration-isolating assembly having a radial isolator carried by a coupling shaft located between the (i) shaft, and (ii) hub and plates preventing brush vibration from being transmitted to the tool through a coupling end of the shaft mounting the brush to the tool. The isolating assembly preferably includes an axial isolator between (i) each flange and (ii) the hubs and plates. Isolators are made of vibration dampening material and can be formed into a single isolator of one-piece unitary construction. A preferred brush is a cup brush having plates contoured to define wire supporting cups.

A skincare device having energy regenerating end effector is presented. In one embodiment, an end effector includes an inner end effector structure configured to oscillate about an axis. The inner end effector structure includes at least one magnet and a plurality of contacting elements configured to contact skin of a user. The end effector also includes an outer end effector structure having at least one induction coil. The at least one magnet and the at least one induction coil cooperate to generate electrical current in the at least one induction coil when the end effector oscillates about the axis.

In a holder attached state in which a holder upper part 11 is attached to a brush rotation shaft 2, the lower surface of the holder upper part 11 and the inner peripheral surface of a holder lower part 18 define a brush accommodating space 23, and the inner peripheral edge of a holder bottom plate part 19 defines a circular holder opening 24 having a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the holder lower part 18. A held part 31 of a brush body 30 is in a circular column shape incapable of penetrating through the holder opening 24, and is accommodated and held in the brush accommodating space 23. A cleaning part 32 of the brush body 30 is in a circular column shape smaller in diameter than the held part 31 and capable of penetrating through the holder opening 24, and penetrates through the holder opening 24 and projects downward. A top-to-bottom length L2 of the holder opening 24 of the brush holder 10 is longer than or equal to 1/4 of a protruding length L1 of the cleaning part 32 of the brush body 30 from the held part 31 thereof and shorter than the protruding length L1 of the cleaning part 32.

A skincare device having optimized dual energy modalities ace is presented. In an embodiment, a skincare device includes a body having protruding elements configured for contacting a skin of a user, where the protruding elements are configured to vibrate in operation. The skincare device also includes an end effector configured for contacting the skin of the user, where the end effector is configured to oscillate about a center axis in operation.

A gutter broom is provided. The gutter broom can include one or more block segments, each block segment having openings in which bristles are positioned. The bristles can have a first stiffness or a second stiffness different than the first stiffness. Bristles having the second stiffness can be positioned radially outward of bristles having the first stiffness on a block segment.
