A method of utilizing a handheld bottle washer that includes compressing two flexible opposing sidewalls of the bottle washer with an external compression force to generate a dynamic position with a diameter of the enclosed washing aperture, inserting the two flexible opposing sidewalls into an opening of a bottle while in the dynamic position, releasing the external compression force causing the two flexible opposing sidewalls to expand outwardly to generate a static position with the diameter of the enclosed washing aperture greater than the diameter of enclosed washing aperture when in the dynamic position and with the cleaning material on the outer surfaces of each of the two opposing sidewalls contacting the inner surfaces of the bottle, and applying a downward force on the lower end of the handheld body to move the cleaning material on the inner surfaces of the bottle for cleaning.

A mascara application system includes an applicator for mascara and a mascara container. The applicator may include two brushes, and have a reverse tweezers arrangement, by which the brushes may be spaced apart from one another when pressure is applied to a handle portion of the applicator, and the brushes may be positioned adjacent to one another when no pressure is applied to the handle portion. An optional applicator container may hold a handle portion of the applicator, while enabling its actuation to operate the applicator. The mascara container, which holds mascara and is configured to receive the brushes, may include a separate portal for each brush, as well as a squeegee or other element for removing excess mascara from each brush. Methods for applying mascara to lashes are also disclosed.

A dual-function floor cleaning brush comprises a crevice brush with a threaded head at the top for handle connection and a floor brush with an interior connection groove for crevice brush embedment, allowing a combination into a single entity. The top of the floor brush is movably provided with a fixing knob for clamping the crevice brush, the positioning slots are provided on both sides of the crevice brush, and positioning blocks are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the connection groove, realizing engagement between the positioning slots and the positioning blocks with the crevice brush embedded into the connection groove. The crevice brush and floor brush can be used independently or in combination, and rotating the fixing knob realizes a simple and quick operation of installing and removing the crevice brush, enabling the threaded head's angle adjustment via the turning knob.

The double action push broom of the present invention includes a dynamic double action dual brush head and a broom handle. The dynamic double action dual brush head includes two brush heads rotatably attached to a brush head base, allowing the brush heads to independently rotate about the axis in which it is rotatably attached to the brush head base. A mechanical device capable of storing and releasing energy is connected between the two brush heads, which is rigidly attached to the brush head base. The double action push broom stores kinetic energy in the form of potential energy in the mechanical energy storage device of the dynamic double action dual brush head during the sweeping stroke of the double action push broom. At the end of the sweeping stroke, the stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and rotates the dual brush, thereby providing an additional sweeping motion.

An applicator, also referred to as workpiece, is suitable for use with a personal care appliance. The applicator can be in the form of a dual brush head. The dual brush head includes a movable central portion having first and second independently movable sections.

A mascara application system includes an applicator for mascara and a mascara container. The applicator may include two brushes, and have a reverse tweezers arrangement, by which the brushes may be spaced apart from one another when pressure is applied to a handle portion of the applicator, and the brushes may be positioned adjacent to one another when no pressure is applied to the handle portion. An optional applicator container may hold a handle portion of the applicator, while enabling its actuation to operate the applicator. The mascara container, which holds mascara and is configured to receive the brushes, may include a separate portal for each brush, as well as a squeegee or other element for removing excess mascara from each brush. Methods for applying mascara to lashes are also disclosed.

A multi-head wraparound tool including three working heads includes an elongate handle section, an upper section at one end of the handle including two arms extending away from the upper section in a substantially U shape, a central working head receiving means mounted directly above the upper section between the two arms, two peripheral working head receiving means attached to each arm by a spring loaded hinge; and an actuator mechanism for manipulating the position of the peripheral working heads. The peripheral working head receiving means are spring biased inwardly so that the peripheral working heads form a substantially planar closed triangular configuration with the central working head, with the three working heads wrapped around the item to be cleaned and/or painted.

A toothbrush apparatus and system designed to simplify the cleaning of all surfaces of the teeth, by simplifying the brushing process to a single motion performed on the top and bottom rows of teeth, and thereby by reducing the cognitive difficulty of learning the brushing task. Simplification is accomplished by using a unique brush head that wraps around the teeth to cover the inside, top, and outer surface of the teeth at once, while a pivot mechanism with a restorative force component attaches the brush head to the brush stem, and allows the brush head to rotate about itself. These two elements combine to allow the brush head to glide around the teeth like a train on a track as the brush is moved around the mouth.

An improved electric hairbrush used to create a wavy pattern in thick textured short hair commonly found with individuals of Puerto Rican or African American descent that consists of one embodiment having a body (10) with a battery compartment (24) that powers a motor (20) which rotates a belt (22) that in turn rotates a pivoted cylinder with bristles secured to it (12) attached to two sides of the body that also has a border (16) with bristles secured to it that determines how much pressure the user wishes to apply to the scalp while the pivoted cylinder with bristles is spinning and brushing the users hair enhancing the wavy pattern in a very efficient amount of time, which power is controlled by an on and off power button. (26)

Other embodiments are described and shown.

An improved toothbrush is provided. The improved toothbrush includes first and second flexible anchor portions; a plurality of bristles coupled to each of the first and second flexible anchor portions; and a soft pivot bar operably coupled to the flexible anchor portions. A chewing force applied to the pivot bar causes the pivot bar and the first and second flexible anchor portions to compress against a tooth surface to cause a cleaning action.
