Use of an applicator in free rotation for the makeup removal of mascara The invention also has for object a cosmetic application requisite comprising: an application member able to be driven in rotation by the keratin fibers with respect to a gripping member; and makeup removal composition for keratin fibers comprising an aqueous phase and at least one surfactant. It also has for object a method for applying this requisite.

A hair styling apparatus is provided including a brush head, a plurality of tines located on the brush head, and a series of movable linearly arranged prongs having an angled orientation with respect to the brush head. A user causing movement of the linearly arranged prongs serves to secure the user' s hair against a subset of the plurality of tines.

The head of the toothbrush, rotating on its axis 180 degrees and 90 degrees to each side. A button is placed in the handle of the toothbrush with is connected to a lever, when the button is moved forward or backwards, it will apply force to the rotating pin. This is done by either using a gear system or simply attaching the lever to the side of the pin in order to transfer kinetic energy. The top of the rotating pin is attached to the part of the toothbrush that holds the bristles, which through rotating pushing or pulling the button can rotate the bristles 90 degrees each side or 180 degrees total. The bristle components can be composed of flexible material. This bristle part can be replaced or changed. Shorter, longer, wider, narrow, soft and harder bristle attachments can be used, based on the individual's needs.

A rotary scrubber apparatus, the apparatus includes a tube member having a helical slot, an attachment end portion, a holding end portion, and an internal cavity extending therethrough. A biasing element is contained within the internal cavity of the tube member. A following pin extends through the helical slot. The following pin has an external portion that engages a handle, and an internal portion that engages the biasing element. A scrubbing element is coupled with the attachment end of the tube member and rotationally fixed therewith. When the handle is pressed towards the attachment end and the handle is prevented from rotating about the tube member, the tube member rotates to rotate the scrubber element. The apparatus thereby provides rotational movement of the scrubber to be generated from only linear movement of the handle provided by a user.

A manually-wound or charged, powered toothbrush includes a winding mechanism, an energy storage element, and an output gear train to cause a rotating, oscillating or sweeping brush head to move, thus improving the efficacy of the user's oral-care regimen. The toothbrush may include a removable, replaceable brush head that includes a clip that also serves as a removal tool for a spent brush head.

A manual oral care implement comprises a handle, a connector and a head, the head being repeatedly attachable to and detachable from the handle via the connector. The handle has a distal end and a proximal end opposite to the distal end and adjacent to the head when the head is attached to the handle. The proximal end has an upper surface that is at least partially chamfered. The handle has a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The chamfered surface and the cross-sectional area define therebetween an angle ? from about 15? to about 30?.

A connector for repeatedly attaching and detaching a head to and from a handle of a manual oral care implement has an outer surface and a recess. The recess forms a cavity within the connector, wherein the cavity comprises a spring-loaded ball-snap element, the element comprising a ball and a spring, the spring applying a radial force onto the ball in a direction towards the outer surface of the connector.
