An added inertia resonant system (12) for a power toothbrush (10) comprises a drive shaft (16), a drive system (22), and at least one inertial weight member (24). The drive shaft (16) has a principal axis (26) that defines a center of rotation. The drive system (22) imparts a reciprocating motion to the drive shaft (16) about the principal axis (26). The at least one inertial weight member (24) couples to the drive shaft (16) and comprises a planar material having a complex shape balanced along an x-, y- and z-axis to enable the drive system (22) to achieve low power, high amplitude motion of the drive shaft (16) when placed under user loading. A method for providing added inertia in a resonant system for a power toothbrush is also disclosed.

An agitator for a vacuum cleaner includes an agitator body and a resiliently deformable flap. The resiliently deformable flap includes a front face, a rear face, and one or more protrusions extending outwardly from the front face. An agitator for a vacuum cleaner includes an agitator body and a bristle strip and/or a plurality of tufts arranged in one or more rows along the agitator body. The bristle strip and/or a plurality of tufts includes a first bristle group including a plurality of nylon bristles and at least a second bristle group including a plurality of para-aramid bristles.

The present invention discloses an electric pet hair brush. The electric pet hair brush. comprises a shell, a roller, a control module and a power module. The shell has an accommodation space. The control module and the power module are electrically connected and are accommodated in the accommodation space. The roller is arranged at the front end of the shelf and is connected with the power module. The roller can be driven by the power module to rotate. The roller comprises a roller main body and multiple comb assemblies. The power module drives the roller main body to rotate, and the multiple comb assemblies can alternatively and circularly extend from the roller main body or retract into an accommodation space of the roller main body with the rotation of the roller main body.
