A hair care device for use in untangling hair includes a body portion and a plurality of substantially parallel flexible bristles made of soft plastics material and projecting from the body portion. The bristles are arranged such that over at least a part of the area of bristles, some of the bristles are of shorter length. The bristles and the shorter length bristles are interspersed over the at least part of the area of bristles.

A functional toothbrush shaft and a method of manufacturing the same are proposed. The functional toothbrush shaft includes: a toothbrush body including a handle, a bristle head support neck, and a bristle head; and at least one finger support protrusion that forms a stable resultant force by forming at least three support points on the handle of the toothbrush body, prevents slipping of a user's fingers to increase friction, and allows free gripping throughout 360 at any point of a cylindrical surface of the toothbrush body.

Examples of the present disclosure include apparatus and methods for making a brush handle assembly. Specifically, the present disclosure is for a brush handle assembly comprising a flexible handle, an intermediate connector, and a ferrule. In particular, the present disclosure is for an improved interface between each of the flexible handle, the intermediate connector, and the ferrule for an improved construction providing increased durability and longevity.

A method of forming a handle for an oral care implement. The method may include first forming a core structure out of a first hard plastic. Next, an elongated handle body may be formed out of a second hard plastic, whereby during formation the elongated handle body is made to partially surround the core structure, while leaving opposing surfaces of the core structure exposed. Finally, a grip cover may be formed out of a resilient material and positioned over at least a portion of the elongated handle body. The oral care implement handle formed by the method may include a handle having an elongated handle body and a core structure. The elongated handle body may have openings in opposing surfaces. The core structure may be partially surrounded by the elongated handle body while protruding from the openings.

A cosmetic formula applicator configured for use with a handle for improved ergonomics and to aid in application by a user. In general, examples of the applicators described herein include a cap for coupling the applicator to a bottle. The cap includes a cavity configured to receive a corresponding protrusion of the handle therein. The cap includes a retainer associated with the cavity to interface with the protrusion to create a releasable connection requiring a larger separation force to release than without the retainer. The applicator may include a data storage device configured to communicate information to a sensor positioned in the handle.

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.

There is herein provided a hair brush comprising a body portion formed from a material having a first flexibility; and a bristle mount formed from a material having a second, lesser, flexibility, coupled to the body portion, the bristle mount comprising a plurality of mount sections, each mount section having at least one bristle mounted thereon, wherein the mount sections are movable relative to one another in three dimensions such that the relative flexibility of the overall bristle mount is greater than the second flexibility, thereby enabling the bristle mount to substantially replicate bending or flexing of the body portion. Such a brush is highly flexible yet effective and may be easily adapted or shaped by a user to conform to the contours of, for example, a head or body.

An oral care implement having a multi-component handle. The oral care implement may include a head and a handle. The handle may have a front surface, a rear surface, and opposing first and second lateral surfaces. The handle may include an elongated handle body, a grip cover, and a transparent component. The elongated handle body and the grip cover may be opaque. The elongated handle body may form a portion of the front surface of the handle and the grip cover may form a portion of the rear surface of the handle. The transparent component may form a portion of each of the first and second lateral surfaces of the handle. Thus, the transparent component may form a window through the lateral surfaces of the handle.

A toothbrush that includes a handle having a grip constraining portion which prevents users from gripping the toothbrush along a grip constraining region when they are brushing their teeth. The toothbrush is configured to induce the user to hold the toothbrush on a gripping portion in a specific grip. An angled extending length is positioned adjacent to the gripping portion and extends to the head of the toothbrush. When the user holds the toothbrush at the gripping portion, the angled extending length is configured so that the bristles on the brush head extend onto the user's gums at a desired angle, such as a 45 angle.

A hair brush that has a circular head or bristle portion with a circular hollow support member that has apertures that accommodate first and second bristles. Each bristle has a triangular hollow shape so that when positioned through the apertures, air can flow through (a) the hollow in the triangular bristles, (b) the apertures in the support member, and (c) outward through a non-bristle side of the support member.
