WASHING BRUSH CAPABLE OF WASHING VARIOUSLY SIZED CONTAINERS
A washing brush to wash a container having a long length. The washing brush includes a handle part, a shaft part connected to the handle part, a sliding part configured to slide along the shaft part, a strip part coupled to the lower end part of the shaft part and lower part of the sliding part, a brush part attached to the outside of the strip part; and a position adjusting part configured to adjust a relative position of the shaft part. The sliding part is pressed to spread the strip part and the spread can be varied by the position adjusting part by adjusting the relative position of the sliding part with respect to the shaft part. A washing brush is provided that can simply and quickly wash a cylindrical container by allowing a washing part to be spread according to the shape of a container.
Toothbrush for oral cavity position detection
A toothbrush handle for providing oral cavity position detection during operation includes a handle body having a longitudinal axis, a receiver body elastically deformable relative to the longitudinal axis, and a three-axis force sensor that is operatively connected to the base portion and configured to obtain three-axis force data for oral cavity position detection during operation.
TOOTHBRUSH CONFORMING TO DENTAL ARCH AND CORRESPONDING DEVICES AND METHODS
A toothbrush (10) includes a brush assembly (16) with at least three bristle arrangements (12), each having opposing inwardly-directed bristles (122, 124, 126) for simultaneously contacting facial and lingual surfaces (52, 54), and preferably also occlusal surfaces (56) of the teeth (50). Flexible linkages (14), interconnecting the bristle arrangements (12), maintain a relative spacing between the bristle arrangements (12) while allowing variation of an effective curvature of the brush assembly (16) such that the bristle arrangements (12) can ride along, and conform to a non-uniform curvature of, the arch of teeth. The toothbrush (TO) preferably also includes an actuation mechanism (22) for generating to-and-fro motion of the brush assembly (16) along the arch of teeth, most preferably combined with a more rapid small-amplitude oscillatory motion.
Oral Care Implement
A toothbrush includes a handle and a head mounted to the handle. In one aspect, the head may include a base structure having a front surface. A cleaning element carrier may be at least partially suspended above the front surface of the base structure so that at least a portion of the cleaning element carrier is movable relative to the base structure in a direction towards the front surface of the base structure. The cleaning element carrier may have a first segment and a second segment that are separated by a gap. A plurality of bristle tufts may extend from the first and second segments of the cleaning element carrier. A central cleaning element may extend from the front surface of the base structure and through the gap between the first and second segments of the cleaning element carrier.
Wire cleaning brush
The present wire brush is adapted to clean a grill grate and basically comprises and outer housing, a grate-engaging flange, a flexible bristle-receiving retainer and a plurality of wire bristles. The outer housing has upper and lower portions. The grate-engaging flange extends from the lower portion of the housing in generally perpendicular relation thereto. The flexible retainer is disposed in the upper portion of the housing. The bristles have upper portions embedded in the retainer and grate-engaging free ends that extend no more than one-half inch beyond the grate-engaging flange.
Oral care implement
A toothbrush includes a handle and a head mounted to the handle. In one aspect, the head may extend from a proximal end to a distal end along a longitudinal axis, the head having a base portion formed of a rigid plastic material and a flexible portion formed of an elastomeric material, a first longitudinal section of the flexible portion spaced apart from the base portion by a gap. The flexible portion of the head may have an upper surface and an opposing lower surface such that within the first longitudinal section of the flexible portion the upper surface and the lower surface are substantially planar and parallel to one another. Furthermore, tooth cleaning elements may be secured to the flexible portion of the head by in-molded technology to extend from the upper surface of the flexible portion.
Applicator for cosmetic product, in particular mascara, associated applicator assembly and method for manufacturing such an applicator
The invention relates to an applicator for a cosmetic product including a first part and a second part that extend along a longitudinal direction of extension from a proximal end towards a free distal end of the applicator, the first part and the second part being configured to form parts for applying the cosmetic product, one of the parts is mounted mobile in for translational with respect to the other of the parts, from at least a first retracted position, to a second deployed position, the first and second parts are configured to form together a variable volume reservoir, intended to contain the cosmetic product and that has a first volume when the parts occupy the first retracted position and a second volume when the parts occupy the second deployed position.
METHOD OF UTILIZING A HANDHELD BOTTLE WASHER
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.
Tri-position hairbrush
A tri-position hairbrush includes a modular bristle-bed, having a plurality of bristles connected thereto; and a handle, connected to the modular bristle-bed. A switching unit operates to switch and convert the modular bristle-bed among three operational states. In a first operational state, which is a Closed State, the modular bristle-bed is arranged as a cylindrical structure that spans 330 to 360 degrees of curvature, and the hairbrush operates a round hairbrush. In a second operational state, which is a Semi-Open State, the modular bristle-bed is arranged as a curved cylinder-portion of 150 to 210 degrees of curvature, and the hairbrush operates as an open-curve hairbrush. In a third operational state, which is a Fully-Open State, the modular bristle-bed is arranged as a generally-flat surface, and the hairbrush operates as a paddle hairbrush.
HAIR BRUSHES AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF
There is disclosed a hair brush. The brush has an elongate body including a utility portion and a handle portion at opposite ends thereof and defining a longitudinal axis. The utility portion includes a back member acting as a support from which brushing protections extend, and defines a first plane and a second plane perpendicularly intersecting the first plane. The back member is flexibly movable with respect to the handle portion on the first plane and the second plane. The utility portion further includes a pair of spines arranged at opposite sides of the back member for controlling the flexible movement of the back member whereby the extent of control of movement of the back member by the spines are either limited to the movement on only the first plane or substantially more on the first plane than the second plane.
