Children's finger toothbrush with bite protection and tactile feedback
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.
Debris collection device
A debris collection device for sweeping up residual grain in a bin includes a plate, a plurality of bristles, and a stick. The plate is elongated rectangularly shaped and comprises a first section, which is planar, and second section, which is curved. The bristles are coupled to and extend from a lower face of the plate. The stick is coupled to and extends from an upper face of the plate. The stick is configured to be grasped in hands of a user, positioning the user to urge the bristles that are positioned on the first section across a first surface with the bristles positioned on the second section configured to contact a second surface that is positioned substantially perpendicular to the first surface to collect debris that is positioned on the first surface.
ERGONOMIC LATERAL MANUAL SWEEPING DEVICE
An ergonomic lateral sweeping device is described. In an embodiment, the device has a sweeping head such as a broom or rake head, and an elongated pole attached to the head. A paddle is attached to the elongated pole opposite the head, the paddle being wider than the elongated pole. Some embodiments also include a horizontal handle attached to the elongated pole and extending perpendicular to the elongated pole.
Cleaning devices having feedback between different cleaning states
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.
Oral care implement and method for manafacturing such oral care implement
An oral care implement comprises a head and a handle made of a first material. The handle has a distal end and a proximal end closest to the head. The handle comprises a thumb rest made of a second material, the second material being different from the first material. The thumb rest comprises an area from about 202 mm.sup.2 to about 360 mm.sup.2 and has a concave shape. The thumb rest comprises a portion being inclined with respect to a remaining portion of the thumb rest by an angle of about 20 to about 25, the angle being defined by a first line and a second line. The first line extends between a most elevated point and a lowest point of the thumb rest, and the second line extends between the lowest point and an end point of the thumb rest, the end point of the thumb rest being closest to the distal end of the handle.
Cleaning apparatus for cleaning surfaces
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cleaning apparatus for cleaning surfaces. The cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning brush. The cleaning brush includes a handle, a stem and a cleaning head. The stem includes a first end and a second end. The handle is coupled to the first end of the stem and extends longitudinally from the stem. The handle is adapted to be held by a user. The cleaning apparatus further includes an elongated tubular sheath secured with a cleaning pad. The elongated tubular sheath includes a closed end and an open end. The open end is configured to allow receipt of the cleaning brush within the elongated tubular sheath. The cleaning pad includes an inner space. The cleaning pad is secured to the closed end of the elongated tubular sheath. The cleaning head is accommodated in the inner space by pushing the closed end within the cleaning pad.
CLEANING DEVICES HAVING FEEDBACK BETWEEN DIFFERENT CLEANING STATES
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.
Conditioning and Styling Reactivated Hair Device
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.
ANTI-TREMOR TOOL, ANTI-TREMOR DEVICE THEREOF, AND AUXILIARY HOLDING DEVICE
An anti-tremor device including a tool unit, a carrying portion, and an anti-tremor module is disclosed. The tool unit is coupled or mounted on the carrying portion. The anti-tremor module is disposed on the carrying portion. The anti-tremor module includes a rotary transmission mechanism and a control module. The control module includes a sensing unit and a control unit. The sensing unit is coupled to the control unit, and the control module is coupled to the rotary transmission mechanism. When the sensing unit senses the tremor of the carrying portion, the control unit controls the rotary transmission mechanism to increase the inertia of the anti-tremor module to eliminate or reduce the tremor of the carrying portion.
Detangling Brush
A detangling brush has a top brush head and a bottom brush head connected with a hinge. The top brush head includes a top perimeter frame having a first plurality of inwardly extending fingers which are laterally spaced from each other, and further have a plurality of top bristles which project downwardly from at least some of the first plurality of inwardly extending fingers. At least one ring is mounted on the top brush. The bottom brush head has a bottom perimeter frame which includes a second plurality of inwardly extending fingers which are laterally spaced from each other, and further have a plurality of bottom bristles which project upwardly from at least some of the second plurality of inwardly extending fingers of the bottom brush head.
