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.

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 device for applying a cosmetic product, such as mascara, intended to be associated with a mascara reservoir. The device comprises a handling cap, forming a cap and a means for holding, moving and manoeuvring the application device, a rod portion having a main direction, a first end where it is associated with the handling cap and a second end section including a second end portion that terminates it, an application portion extending along a main axis, including a support member having two ends, provided with radial application members, hingedly mounted in an articulation zone and by articulation means on the rod portion at its second end portion, about a pivot axis, so that it can occupy a centred position and an extreme inclined position and be pivoted from one to the other, the articulation zone, the articulation means and the pivot axis being located in the median section of the support member, spaced from each of its both ends.

A toothbrush capable of inhibiting damage of an oral cavity of a user that includes: a head section that has a bristle implanting surface on a front end side; a handle section that is disposed on a rear end side from the head section and has a handle section main body; and a neck section that is disposed between the bristle implanting surface and the handle section. The toothbrush has a deforming portion that is located on the rear end side from the bristle implanting surface and is deformed, while stress characteristics associated with bending due to an external force acting on the head section are in a plane stress condition.

An oral care implement includes a head portion. The head portion includes one or more tooth cleaning elements. The oral care implement includes a handle portion that may be coupled to the head portion. The handle portion includes a central body having a proximal portion. The proximal portion may be opposite the head portion. The handle portion may include a first appendage extending laterally outwards from a first side of the central body in a first direction and a second appendage extending laterally outwards from a second side of the central body in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The first and second appendages may be angled towards each other to form an obtuse angle therebetween (e.g., when in an unstressed state). The proximal portion of the central body may protrude from a bottom end of the first and second appendages.

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.

An oral care implement comprises a head portion and handle portion comprising resiliently folding appendages. The appendages extend laterally outwards from a central body of the handle portion in opposite directions. In one embodiment, the appendages may each have annular loop structures with recurvant ends coupled to the body. The head portion comprises tooth cleaning elements such as bristles. The head portion, handle portion, and bristles may be a monolithic construction of a resiliently deformable material with elastic memory. The bristles may be especially pliable and adapted for infant or toddler use. The appendages have an undeformed width preventing the young child from over-insertion into the oral cavity when at maximum span. The appendages may be folded against the body for deeper insertion into the oral cavity by an adult. The implement is configured to prevent the head portion and tooth bristles from contacting a flat surface when placed thereon.

A gun bore cleaner comprising a scrubber segment, a brush assembly segment and a cord segment. The central brush assembly is flexible or hinged so that it can bend and can be inserted into the narrow breech of a firearm without partial disassembly of the firearm. There is a brush integral to the brush assembly and bristles emanating from the scrubber assembly. The scrubber assembly, brush assembly and cord are separable for cleaning and substitution for bristle and brush diameter to be compatible with varying bore dimensions.

A back-invigorator device of the present disclosure has a back-invigorator implement coupled to a first end of a first shaft, the first shaft having a first hinge mechanism on a second end. The back-invigorator device further has a handle coupled to a first end of a second shaft, the first and second shafts detachably coupled together via the first hinge mechanism and a second hinge mechanism on a second end of the second shaft such that the back-invigorator implement can be replaced by another back invigorator implement.

A personal-care applicator comprises at least one stem having a proximal end including a handle and a distal end opposite to the proximal end and at least one bristled component attached to the stem, wherein the bristled component comprises a carrier and a plurality of bristles ultrasonically welded to the carrier and outwardly extending therefrom according to a pre-determined pattern, wherein the elongated carrier and the at least first plurality of bristles comprise ultrasonically compatible materials, and wherein the bristles are ultrasonically bonded to the carrier through a direct ultrasonic bond between a surface of the carrier and a lengthwise portion of each of the bristles.
