Oral Care Implement
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.
ADJUSTABLE APPLICATOR
An adjustable applicator including an application member and an actuator. The application member comprises a flexible support and a plurality of application elements on its surface. The application member has one free end and one fixed end. The fixed end is fixedly connected to a stem. The free end of the application member is connected to a distal end of the transmission member. The actuator is actuated for moving the transmission member along a longitudinal axis of the adjustable applicator to cause progressive modification in shape of the application member.
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.
VEHICLE WASH COMPONENT
A vehicle wash component includes a hub portion with a first hub section and a second hub section. The first hub section includes a first distal end and a first proximate end opposite the first distal end. The first hub section defines a first axis of rotation. The second hub section includes a second distal end and a second proximate end opposite the second distal end. The second hub section defines a second axis of rotation. A connector device rotatably couples the first hub section to the second hub section. An actuator is in communication with the first hub section to effectuate movement of the first distal end between a retracted position and an extended position. In the retracted position, the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are parallel. In the extended position, the first axis of rotation is at a non-90 angle with respect to the second axis of rotation.

PORTABLE TOOTHPASTE DISPENSING TOOTHBRUSH
A toothpaste dispensing toothbrush is disclosed, comprising a handle including an interior cavity to store a toothpaste therein. A dispensing element is provided within the interior cavity to dispense the toothpaste onto a head in fluid communication with the interior cavity via a conduit. A plurality of apertures are provided on the front side of the head to permit the egress of toothpaste onto the head along with a plurality of bristles positioned on the front side of the head to provide abrasion to the teeth, gums, and tongue during brushing.
Retractable interdental brush
A retractable interdental brush includes an interdental brush, a retractable mechanism, and a handle. The retractable mechanism is configured to drive the interdental brush to extend from the handle to clean a gap between teeth. After use, the interdental brush is retracted into an accommodation space of the handle through the retractable mechanism. The interdental brush may be a built-in interdental brush. When the built-in interdental brush is used for cleaning, a brush body may be first retracted into an elbow at a front end of a delivery device, an outlet of the elbow is pressed against the gap between teeth to push the brush body, and a working portion of the brush body and enters into the gap between teeth to clean the gap between teeth, thereby resolving a problem with existing interdental brush that easily stabs gingival tissue due to a difficulty of alignment with the gap between teeth.
All-in-one battery maintenance device
A wire brush, a side-post wrench, and a top-post wrench which are capable of pivoting coaxially around the upper end of the device to be concealed within the handle comprises an all-in-one battery maintenance device. The lower end provides a heavy, solid base which may be safely used to tap the battery cables into the proper position on the posts of a top-post battery.
