A toothbrush apparatus including a handle, and attached first and second U-shaped members, each having first and second sections which are substantially parallel to each other and a third section which is substantially perpendicular to the first and second sections of the respective U-shaped member, which connects the first and second sections of the respective U-shaped member together. The second U-shaped member is attached to the handle, so that the U-shape of the first U-shaped member faces in a substantially opposite direction from the U-shape of the second U-shaped member; and wherein a plurality of toothbrush bristles project from each of the first, second, and third sections of the first and second U-shaped members. One or more channels may be located in the handle, permitting a liquid to flow through at least part of the handle and into an area enclosed by the sections of the respective U-shaped members.

Cleaning devices are provided that have a surface with areas that provide different cleaning states. The areas of different cleaning states are connected to one another by a deflection member that provides tactile and/or audible feedback to the user when transitioning between the different cleaning states.

A swab device for cleaning the barrel of a paintball gun has a first shaft, a second shaft and a flexible connector overmolded over ends of the first and second shafts to fixedly couple the flexible connector to the first and second shafts. Absorbent material can be disposed over the first and second rods. The flexible connector can be made of rubber or silicone. The flexible connector is configured to flex and to automatically return to an original linear orientation after the flexible connector has been flexed. The flexible connector can have one or more openings on a surface thereof that facilitate flexion of the flexible connector.

A brush device includes a housing having an exit end, an entrance end, and a room defined in the housing. A propeller unit is located in the room and includes a shaft with multiple first blades on an outside thereof. The shaft includes a driving head extending through the exit end of the housing. The driving head is connected with a brush so that the brush is rotated by water entering from the entrance and exiting from the exit end.

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.

An adjustable cosmetic applicator includes an applicator tip moveable relative to an applicator body between at least a first and a second position and an actuator assembly configured to move the applicator tip between the at least first and second positions. The adjustable cosmetic applicator may include a first integral hinge defined between the applicator tip and the applicator body and a second integral hinge defined between the applicator tip and the actuator assembly.

The back scrubber is a hygienic device. The back scrubber is adapted for use with a person. The back scrubber is configured for use in bathing. The back scrubber is configured for use with soap. The back scrubber extends the reach of the person such that soap may be applied to otherwise inaccessible locations of the person. The back scrubber comprises a head, a handle, and a control system. The control system is installed in the handle. The head attaches to the handle. The head contains the soap. The handle extends the reach of the person. The control system adjusts the overall length of the handle.
