Cleaning device for removable dental appliances
A cleaning device for cleaning a removable dental appliance is described. The device includes a rotatable upper cleaning brush having a plurality of downwardly protruding bristles for cleaning an upper surface of a removable dental appliance. The device also includes a lower dental appliance holder for holding the dental appliance and which is used in connection with the rotatable upper cleaning brush to limit movement of the dental appliance relative to the rotatable upper cleaning brush wherein, in use, a cleaning action can be applied to the dental appliance by rotating the rotatable upper cleaning brush relative to the dental appliance. The cleaning device further includes a casing connector for temporarily rotatably interconnecting the rotatable upper cleaning brush and the lower dental appliance holder so as to form a single integrated unit when assembled.

Firearm cleaning device
A firearm cleaning device for cleaning a chamber of a firearm includes a rod and a first disk that is selectively couplable by a first face to a first end of the rod. A plurality of first bristles is coupled to and extends radially from an outer perimeter of the first disk. The rod is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user to insert the first disk into a chamber of a weapon. The rod is positioned to rotate the first disk within the chamber so that the first bristles are rotated within the chamber to loosen debris that is adhered to interior surfaces of the chamber.
Battery-Free Powered Toothbrush
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.

ROTARY SCRUBBER
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.
