An ergonomic handle to be used in conjunction with a hand-operated personal use tool. A unique feature of the ergonomic handle is a series of concave-shaped grooves and convex-shaped protrusions on the top surface and one concave-shaped groove and two convex-shaped protrusions on the bottom surface. The ergonomic handle has an arcuate shape to facilitate a secure grasping of the handle by the fingers of one handle.

An outer elastomeric layer forms a nonogonal-shaped hollow tube for a finger toothbrush to be used by an adult caregiver to brush a child's teeth. The toothbrush has a first, rigid portion with a rigid inner lining configured to receive a middle phalange of the caregiver's finger and a second, flexible portion configured to receive a distal phalange of the caregiver's finger. The rigid inner lining may further comprise extensions and depressions to spread the pressure from a child's bite. The second, flexible portion may allow for better tactile response when the toothbrush is in the mouth of a child.

A tool for cleaning a corresponding part of the oral cavity of a person, in particular for cleaning of the teeth, preferably of a person; including supporting means, or handle, for means, or member, for engaging and cleaning the corresponding part of the oral cavity of the person, the engaging and cleaning means extending from the supporting means, or handle, and in particular being in the form of a corresponding brush, preferably of a dental brush, or in the form of corresponding dental floss. The supporting means, or handle, have a free end portion which is shaped to form gripping means for the fingers of the user, in particular to perform the cleaning of the corresponding part of the oral cavity.

The hair brush generally comprises a handle and a removably coupled brush head retainer. The brush head retainer is adapted to receive a variety of different hair brush heads comprising a variety of types of bristles. The handle comprises a centrally tapered configuration that is easily grasped by a user. Upper and lower portions define a central longitudinal passage. Axially aligned within this passage is a handle coupling assembly comprising an activation member, push rod, spring, barrel, and one or more ball bearings. The brush head retainer comprises a brush head retainer lower opening, an inner annular groove, and one or more lower pins. The inner annular groove comprises an angled lower portion which is transversely aligned with the barrel side openings. The push rod is moveable between first and second positions such that the brush head retainer may be coupled and decoupled.

A conditioning and styling reactivated hair device is an apparatus which can be used to spray formulations to condition, style, reactivate, and/or refresh hair, stimulate the scalp, and help detangle hair. The apparatus includes a handheld grip, a detachable panel, a nebulizing mechanism, a vibration mechanism, and a control system. The handheld grip serves as the base for the apparatus which can be ergonomically held by one hand. Further, the handheld grip includes a palm-bearing surface and an interfacing surface. The detachable panel covers the internal structure of the handheld grip and supports external hair styling aids. The detachable panel further comprises a back plate and a flow guide. The nebulizing mechanism dispenses spray formulations stored within the handheld grip. The vibration mechanism generates physical vibrations for stimulating purposes as well as to aid in dispensing spray formulations. The control system enables the semi-automatic operation of the apparatus by users.

An oral care implement used for treatment of a user's oral cavity. The oral care implement may include a body having a longitudinal axis, a first hard plastic component, and a second hard plastic component. The first hard plastic component may have a front surface having a perimeter portion and a central portion that is surrounded by the perimeter portion, the central portion being recessed relative to the perimeter portion. The second hard plastic component may be positioned on the central portion of the first hard plastic component and surrounded by the perimeter portion of the first hard plastic component. The second hard plastic component may have an outer surface with a plurality of grooves that are elongated in a direction of the longitudinal axis.

An applicator for applying an eye-liner, extending along a straight longitudinal axis, including: an application member, in particular an applicator tip, a support carrying the application member, extending along an exposed length along the longitudinal axis of the applicator, a handle defining a gripping surface allowing the user to hold the applicator when applying the product, the handle having at least one cross-section, considered perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the applicator, with a substantially triangular general shape, the handle extending along a length along the longitudinal axis of the applicator, the ratio of the length of the handle to the exposed length of the support being greater than 2, preferably between 2 and 7, and more preferably between 3 and 6, the handle having at least two cross-sections, separate from each other, with a substantially triangular general shape, the two cross-sections being angularly offset relative to each other.

A personal care implement having a handle which includes a first rigid portion, a second rigid portion, and an elastomeric portion located therebetween. The first and second rigid portions may have end portion with first and second tabs. The elastomeric portion has a front surface, a rear surface, and a peripheral surface that extends between the front and rear surfaces. A first groove may be formed between the first tab of the first rigid portion and the first tab of the second rigid portion. A second groove may be formed between the second tab of the first rigid portion and the second tab of the second rigid portion. A first portion of the peripheral surface of the elastomeric portion may form a floor of the first groove and a second portion of the peripheral surface of the elastomeric portion may form a floor of the second groove.

A toothbrush having a distal end and a proximal end. The toothbrush has a head portion located at the distal end. The toothbrush also has a plurality of bristles coupled to the head portion and extending outward in a ventral direction. The toothbrush also has a neck portion being coupled to the head portion at a neck portion distal end. The toothbrush also has a shoulder portion being coupled to the neck portion at a shoulder portion distal end and a neck portion proximal end, and the shoulder portion being curved toward the ventral direction. The toothbrush also has a base portion located at the proximal end, the base portion being coupled to the shoulder portion at a base portion distal end and a shoulder portion proximal end, the base portion being curved toward the ventral direction.

There is provided an ergonomic handle device for holding tools including an approximately spherical holder having an outer surface and surrounding three slots; any two of the three slots are perpendicular to each other; each of the three slots extends from a first end to a second end on two opposite sides of the approximately spherical holder, in a radial direction and through a center of the approximately spherical holder; each of the three slots being sized and configured for engaged receipt of a handle of the tool, wherein the handle of the tool passes through the first end of one of the three slots until the handle of the tool passes through the second end of the slot; a plurality of grip indentations on the outer surface of the approximately spherical holder; and wherein the user may operate the tool by gripping the grip indentations of the approximately spherical holder for an extended time without getting stiff hands and fingers.
