The present invention relates generally to the field of personal cleaning devices having a housing with a front surface with at least one brush and a rear surface with at least one attachment feature for attachment to a surface such as a shower wall. The brush is powered by a motor which causes the brush to spin or move in different directions. The device may also have a soap dispenser that dispenses soap or other liquids which can be applied to the brush before use. The motor may further have a plurality of speeds and can be configured to run for a fixed period of time.

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.

The present invention is concerned with a skin treatment device, comprising a shaver handle housing, a detachable brush head pivotably supported by the shaver handle housing about at least one brush head pivot axis (I) and a gearing mechanism. The shaver handle housing comprises a drive unit for driving at least one drive pin in a rotatory oscillating manner with a first amplitude about an oscillation axis (II) which is at least substantially perpendicular to the at least one brush head pivot axis (I). The brush head comprises a brush rotatable about a brush axis (III) which is at least substantially perpendicular to the at least one brush head pivot axis (I). The brush comprises at least one driven element coupled to the at least one drive pin by means of the gearing mechanism, wherein the gearing mechanism translates the rotatory oscillating movement of the drive pin into a rotatory oscillating movement of the driven element with a second amplitude which is smaller than the first amplitude of the drive pin.

A robot cleaner including a body, a driven wheel, and a side brush coupled to the body. The side brush includes a hub configured to rotate about a pivot axis and a plurality of bristles. Some bristles may form a first angle with the pivot axis and others form a second angle with the pivot axis which is larger than the first angle. Some bristles may have a first bristle length and others have a second bristle length which is larger than the first bristle length. The robot cleaner may include a side brush deflector to deflect debris propelled by the side brush towards the vacuum inlet. The side brush deflector includes a plurality of deflector bristles extending downwardly from a floor facing surface of the robot cleaner towards a floor such that some of the bristles pass through or underneath a portion of the deflector bristles.

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.

Pruning plants that exude sticky sap may leave pruners gummed up and barely useable. Cleaning edged cutting tools presents injury risks to nursery and farm workers, so a need for rapid and effective cleaning machines exists. This pruner cleaning machine includes a motorized rotor assembly of scrubber discs facing each other and a helical center brush disposed between them. The scrubber discs include helical ramps and step faces at the ends of these ramps which conform to the ends of the helical scrubber, so that the spacing between the scrubber discs may be accurately controlled by the number of turns of the helical scrubber, including partial turns. The rotor may be reconfigured for various types of pruners by selecting from among various lengths of helical scrubbers. Properly configured, by using this machine and its inventive scrubbing rotor, gummed up pruners may be cleaned in seconds.

The present invention is concerned with a skin treatment device and an interface for, preferably detachably, attaching a brush to a skin treatment device, wherein the skin treatment device comprises a drive unit, a component part driven by the drive unit to perform a rotatory and/or oscillating movement and a hood at least partially encasing said driven component part. One of said brush and said driven component part comprises at least two protrusions which both extend through openings in the hood when the brush is attached to the skin treatment device. At least one of said protrusions engages the other of said brush and said driven component part by snap fit when the brush is attached to the skin treatment device.

The present invention is concerned with a skin treatment device, comprising a shaver handle housing, a detachable brush head pivotably supported by the shaver handle housing about at least one brush head pivot axis (I) and a gearing mechanism. The shaver handle housing comprises a drive unit for driving at least one drive pin in a rotatory oscillating manner with a first amplitude about an oscillation axis (II) which is at least substantially perpendicular to the at least one brush head pivot axis (I). The brush head comprises a brush rotatable about a brush axis (III) which is at least substantially perpendicular to the at least one brush head pivot axis (I). The brush comprises at least one driven element coupled to the at least one drive pin by means of the gearing mechanism, wherein the gearing mechanism translates the rotatory oscillating movement of the drive pin into a rotatory oscillating movement of the driven element with a second amplitude which is smaller than the first amplitude of the drive pin.

Surface cleaning utensil, comprising a wet cleaning unit (WCU) having a wetting unit (WP) and a brush unit (BU) for brushing a surface wetted by the wetting unit (WP), the brush unit (BP) having a brush (B) having a plurality of brush elements (BE) (e.g. bristles) at an angle of at least 45°, and preferably at least 70°, to a surface to be cleaned, and a driving unit for driving the brush to move in a plane at an angle of at most 45°, and preferably at most 20°, to the surface. Preferably, the brush unit (BU) comprises a plurality of rotating brushes (B) having a rotation axis at an angle of at least 45°, and preferably at least 70°, to the surface to be cleaned, wherein at least 50% of an area defined by a circumference of each brush (B) is provided with brush elements (BE). Preferably, adjacent rushes (B) have opposite rotation directions. Preferably, the brushes (B) comprise gear-shaped elements (G). Preferably, the driving unit is arranged for causing a translational movement of the brush (B) with respect to the surface cleaning utensil.
