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 toothbrush including bristles extended from one end of the toothbrush, a handle extended from another end of the toothbrush opposite the one end, and any of an attachment hole, arranged between the bristles and handle and configured to receive a support leg to be attached therein, and a groove are provided, either of which may improve drying and therefore decrease in transmission of pathogens via the bristles by, for example, improving air circulation to the bristles raised away from a surface via action of the end and the surface.

An applicator device including at least one holding section, at least one working tip, and a neck section connecting the holding section and the working tip, the device also includes a base body formed at least partially from a first plastic component, the base body being at least partially overmolded by at least one second plastic component that is softer than the first plastic component. In the region of the working tip, the at least one second plastic component at least partially coats the base body, and the coating includes outwardly projecting, bristle-type cleaning elements.

Various embodiments of a livestock grooming article and method of forming same are disclosed. The livestock grooming article includes a handle extending along a handle axis, and a head extending along a head axis and connected to the handle. The head includes a body including a first major surface and a second major surface, and a back slidably connected to the first major surface of the body. The back includes a first major surface and a second major surface, where the first major surface of the back faces the first major surface of the body when the back is connected to the head. The head also includes a bristle extending through the body and beyond the second major surface of the body.

An oral hygiene means, in particular a toothbrush, includes at least one application unit, at least one grip unit and at least one fastening unit that has at least one suction cup and is configured for an at least temporary fastening to surfaces. The suction cup has a non-circular cross section.

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.

A cosmetic applicator assembly includes a handle body having a proximal end, a distal end, a largest width or diameter of from 0.4 inches to 1.25 inches, and an exterior surface, an elevated feature disposed along the exterior surface and extending from 0.007 inches to 0.020 inches above the exterior surface, and a cosmetic applicator coupled to the distal end of the handle body and constructed to apply a cosmetic. The handle body includes a handle body material. The elevated feature include an elevated feature material, wherein the elevated feature material has a kinetic coefficient of friction of greater than or equal to 0.55 and a hardness of less than or equal to Shore A 70, and a hardness that is less than the hardness of the handle body material.

An oral care implement having a multi-component handle is disclosed. In one aspect, the oral care implement comprises: a handle extending along a longitudinal axis; a head coupled to the handle; at least one tooth cleaning element extending from the head; the handle comprising: a first component constructed of a first material, the first component comprising a first component aperture; a second component constructed of a second material, the second component comprising the head and an anchor, the anchor located within the first component aperture and comprising a second component aperture; and a third component disposed within the second component aperture.

A toothbrush device having a body defining a cavity and an input port disposed on the body in fluid communication with the cavity. The input port permits brushing by-products to pass through the input port and into the cavity while restricting passage of the brushing by-products outward from the cavity. In one form, the toothbrush device includes an elongated handle with a reservoir having at least a portion disposed within the handle. The reservoir is sized to hold a predetermined amount of oral care product, and a mouthpiece is in fluid communication with the reservoir to discharge the oral care product from the reservoir.

An oral care implement including an elongated body having a head portion supporting plurality of tooth cleaning elements and a handle portion defining an outer surface. A grip control component is disposed on the handle portion and includes a pair of transversely spaced apart control surfaces separated by a longitudinally extending channel. The control surfaces are elevated above the outer surface of the handle portion and positioned to engage a user's thumb. The control component is operable to tilt the head portion at an upward or downward angle relative to a vertical plane of a user's teeth when the control component is grasped between the user's thumb and forefinger for producing a proper brushing angle at the gum line.
