A rotary push broom provides a geometry between the centerline of the broom's wheels and the centerline of the broom's cylindrical brush that allows the vertical height of the cylindrical brush relative to that of the wheels to be adjusted as the frame rotates. The broom includes a support stand that allows the broom to be stored in a way that does not put the broom's weight on the brush. The broom also includes a ratchet gear system so that the broom rotates along with the wheels when the broom is operated in a forward sweeping direction and spins independent of the wheels when the broom is operated in a rearward direction. The gear system should be arranged so that the cylindrical brush rotates slower than the wheels in the sweeping direction. The support stand can be integrated with an endplate that accommodates the wheel connection and ratchet gear system.

The present invention relates to the technical field of common household cleaning devices, more specifically, to a hand-operated sweeping device for the collection of particles. The trigger-actuated sweeping device comprises a circular rotating brush head unit that becomes operational once a trigger is manually compressed, causing the flow of dirt particles into a detachable particle collection unit. The mechanism of the rotation involves the compression of the hand-actuated trigger leading to a series of internal mechanical movements resulting in the downward vertical motion of a series of rods being translated into rotational motion of the brush head unit in the horizontal axis. Attached to an external shaft is the removable particle collection unit, where the clockwise rotation of the brush head unit results in the flow of dirt particles into an indented particle collection compartment.

A cleaning device 50 for cleaning a removable dental appliance 12 is described. The device 50 comprises a rotatable upper cleaning brush 14 comprising a plurality of downwardly protruding bristles 16 for cleaning an upper surface of a removable dental appliance. The device also comprises a lower dental appliance holder 18 for holding the dental appliance 12 and which is used in connection with the rotatable upper cleaning brush 14 to limit movement of the dental appliance 12 relative to the rotatable upper cleaning brush 14 wherein, in use, a cleaning action can be applied to the dental appliance 12 by rotating the rotatable upper cleaning brush 14 relative to the dental appliance. The cleaning device 50 further comprises a casing connector 30 for temporarily rotatably interconnecting the rotatable upper cleaning brush 14 and the lower dental appliance holder 18 so as to form a single integrated unit when assembled.

A rotating drum push broom has a housing, an interior compartment, a pair of wheel hubs, an axle, a drum brush, and a pair of motion transfer assemblies. The interior compartment traverses into a base surface of the housing and the pair of wheel hubs are mounted onto opposite sides of the housing. The axle traverses through the housing and the interior compartment and the wheel hubs are terminally connected to the axle. Drum brush is rotatably mounted around the axle. The motion transfer assemblies is a set of actuators that force the drum brush to rotate in a direction that is opposite to the wheel's direction of rotation.

An adapter is provided that connects any one of a variety of makeup applicators for applying makeup to a motion controlling device that directs movement of the makeup applicator. The adapter includes a base component having a base connection for connecting the adapter to the motion controlling device in a certain orientation, and an end component having an end connection for connecting the adapter to a makeup applicator. The end component has a center axis through its center and is rotatably attached about the center axis to the base component with a structure for locking the end component in a certain rotated angle about the center axis.

A hand pump cleaning brush is provided. In an implementation, a cleaning brush converts liquid cleaner in a reservoir to a lather of cleaning foam through mechanical action provided by the user. An example cleaning brush may include a handle connected to a removable bristle block. A liquid reservoir is contained within the handle and stores the liquid cleaner. The reservoir is connected to a piston driven pump and/or valve that produces foam, for example, by aeration with ambient air through a mesh. A finger trigger provides pumping force. In an implementation, the foaming pump or valve draws air and liquid cleaner into a chamber and dispenses these to the brush head through a fine mesh screen, which aerate the liquid cleaner into a foam at the brush head. A rotary locking device with a push button can allow the head to swivel on the handle.
