A dish scrubbing brush includes an elongated handle and a brush head adapted to be releasably attached to the top of the handle. A hollow reservoir located within the handle contains liquid soap. An orifice at the top of the handle communicates with the brush head when it is attached and a pump accessible from the exterior of the handle forces soap from the reservoir to the brush head. The brush head includes a foam brush and an adapter for securing the brush head to the top of the handle. The adapter includes an internal thread that cooperates with a partial external thread on the handle top and includes a rib that cooperates with a slot in the handle top. As the adapter is rotated to be attached to the handle, the brush is drawn toward the handle but does not rotate relative thereto.

The present invention is a brush head that rotates to at least two locked positions on a noncoaxial axis relative to the longitudinal or length-wise axis of the handle. A locking trigger is provided to hold and release the rotating head. A brush head is attached to end of the rotating head. In one version, the handle includes a flat cap sixed to support the brush to prevent the brush head from contacting a counter or other supporting surface.

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.

A brush includes a middle piece having a left connector and a right connector, and a left piece including a left middle portion having a proximate end, a hinge end, and a connector coupled to the proximate end and configured to be removably coupled to the left connector of the middle piece. The left piece also includes and a left end portion having a distal end and a hinge end pivotably coupled to the hinge end of the left middle portion. The brush also includes a right piece including a right middle portion having a proximate end, a hinge end, and a connector coupled to the proximate end and configured to be removably coupled to the right connector of the middle piece. The right piece also includes a right end portion having a distal end and a hinge end pivotably coupled to the hinge end of the right middle portion.

A self-righting toothbrush includes a medial section disposed between head and tail sections. The head section mounts a set of frontwardly extending bristles. The tail section has a rearwardly extending asymmetry. The medial section has a pivot surface whose center of rotation defines a pivot point on a longitudinal neutral pivot axis. The pivot surface allows the toothbrush to pivot about the neutral pivot axis when the toothbrush is placed on a support surface. The head and tail sections have respective centers of mass. In a non-bristles up position, the head and tail section centers of mass are spaced from the neutral pivot axis on opposite sides thereof. Due to a moment imbalance dominated by the tail section center of mass, there is a net rotational moment about the neutral pivot axis that induces the toothbrush to pivot about the neutral pivot axis to a bristles up position.

A hand tool provides a user with an ergonomic structure that allows simple and effective contact with even opposed surfaces. The hand tool is an extended element having multiple components. The tool further has: a tool head; a connection system connected to the tool head; a pole secured at its distal end to the connection system; a pole having on its proximal end a hand grip area.

The pole includes a stem unit having a bend within the stem unit between 8 and 30 degrees from linear along the pole.

An extendable cleaning brush for use in cleaning hard to reach areas. The extendable cleaning brush includes an elongated handle having a first end and a second end. The elongated handle has a telescopic configuration such that it can be extended and shortened as desired. The first end includes a grip to be held by the user and one or more controls. The second end includes a housing having a rotating brush head thereon, wherein the brush head is driven by a motor disposed within the housing. A reservoir is further disposed within the housing and includes a dispensing mechanism for dispensing a cleaning solution onto the brush head. The one or more controls allow the user to actuate the motor and dispensing mechanism in a convenient manner.

Improved folding broom-cleaning-storage apparatus for cleaning are provided. The folding broom-cleaning-storage apparatus comprises components to form a variety of broom configurations. The apparatus comprises folding components which may be assembled and disassembled quickly and simply. The apparatus comprises a case which may be used as a separate dustpan, and which may be connected to the broom configurations for use, and which may store the broom components when the broom components are disassembled. The apparatus may comprise shaped bristles, which may be arranged in layers, and offer improvements in efficiency when used.

A power tool for cleaning includes: a cleaning device including a working accessory for cleaning; a driving device, where the driving device includes a motor for driving the working accessory to rotate, and the motor includes a motor shaft rotating about a first straight line; an operation device for a user to operate so as to control the power tool; a power supply device for supplying power to the driving device; and a connecting device for connecting the driving device to the operation device. The operation device includes a main handle for the user to hold. The power supply device is disposed between the main handle and the driving device. The fatigue degree of the user is reduced when the user operates the power tool.
