A multi-functional paint tool including a base including a handle on first end and a channel structure on a second end; and a head including a cavity on a bottom end and a plurality of bristles on a top end; wherein the cavity of the head is slidably received onto the channel structure of the base for engagement thereon. The base can include a U-shaped opening and a hammer. The head includes a paint applicator on the top end, and in other embodiments the paint applicator may take on alternative forms.

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.

The present disclosure provides a device for cleaning a cylindrical container, such as a bucket. The device includes a drive shaft having a first end and a second end. The device also includes a frame including a horizontal component, a first vertical component, and a second vertical component, where each of the horizontal component, the first vertical component, and the second vertical component have a first surface and a second surface, and where the second end of the drive shaft is centrally coupled to the frame. Further, the device includes a cleaning component coupled to the second surface of each of the horizontal component, the first vertical component, and the second vertical component of the frame.

The replaceable brushhead, used for a power toothbrush, includes a neck portion (22) having a hollow part located at a proximal end thereof. The brushhead assembly includes a bristle portion (18) at a distal end of the neck portion. A connecting assembly (20) is positioned within the hollow portion of the neck, the connecting assembly having two distinct, mechanically stable, positions. In the first position, the connecting assembly has a first physical arrangement in which the brushhead assembly is conveniently removable or insertable onto an output shaft (16) from a handle portion of the power toothbrush. In the second position, the connecting assembly has a second physical arrangement, in which a portion of the connecting assembly makes physical contact with the output shaft such that the force or torque produced by the output shaft in operation is transferred to the brushhead assembly for movement thereof.

A hair brush system with a rapid, consistent, and efficient means for connecting and ejecting the brush handle from the brush head. The hair brushes feature a strong support member structure that gives the hairbrush strength while the handle and brush head are connected. The handle has a pair of barbed ejection fingers that engage and retain the brush head. When separation of the brush handle and the brush head is desired, the user depresses an actuator associated with each ejection finger. The compressed ejection finger has a tip that comes into contact with a conical protrusion in the brush head. The resulting action first disengages the brush head and then causes an outward force to be applied to the brush head thereby ejecting it from the handle.

A toothbrush having a cleaning column is provided. The toothbrush includes a handle portion, a neck portion, and a head portion. The cleaning column is attached to the head portion and extends away from an upper surface of the head portion. The cleaning column includes a cleaning surface for contacting a user's teeth. In one preferred embodiment, the cleaning surface can be made of foam that is formed via a reticulation process that exposes connected skeletal strands and the broken skeletal strands each having at least one free end of the foam. The connected skeletal strands and the broken skeletal strands of foam can facilitate the cleaning of the user's teeth, and the areas of the foam between the connected skeletal strands and the broken skeletal strands can facilitate holding of dentifrice therein.

The method for manufacturing a makeup brush includes: molding a ferrule and welding bristles to the ferrule. The ferrule includes a ferrule inner end; a ferrule outer end; a ferrule body; an interior; and a well. The well has a well base parallel to the ferrule outer end. The well base has an inner side and an outer side. The step of welding the bristles includes the steps of disposing the bristles in contact with the outer side of the well base and exposing the inner side of the well base to welding.

A disposable cleaning pad having a grout cleaning brush includes a bristle attachment for use with a disposable pad. The bristle attachment is molded into a rectangular base piece forming a stand-alone removable brush that can be removably attached to a disposable pad. A top rectangular piece of similar dimensions to the base is connected to the end portion of the base by way of a hinge. The ends opposite the hinge have mating clasps that allow for the brush assembly to be securely yet removably fastened to an existing cleaning pad which is then mounted in the normal manner to the cleaning system. The brush assembly enjoys a longer life than that expected from a disposable cleaning pad thus the brush assembly may be reused many times before it needs to be replaced.

An apparatus for dispensing liquid, powder, gel, goop or other viscous preparations requiring applicators, such as, without limitation, mascara, lip coverings, eyeliners, eye shadows, eyebrow products, glues, medications and the like is disclosed. The apparatus is comprised of a cap comprising a receptacle for receiving a wand, having means for temporarily coupling the wand at one end with the receptacle and an applicator head on the opposite end. Depending on use, the application head may be a brush, pad, molded bristle brush, flat brush or the like. The apparatus may be used to apply lipstick, glue, medication, gels, goops, viscous preparations, powders and the like. After use, the applicator wand can be removed and another wand can be interchanged into the same cap for another use or application. In an alternate embodiment, to manage the varying applicator heads, a custom wiper may be fitted into the neck of the base containing the liquid/powder/gel. In another embodiment, the wiper is flexible to self-adjust to each applicator head currently being used.

A detachable nail brush apparatus that includes a cap portion configured to be detachably connected to a nail polish container, an elongated tubular member, a fingernail brush extending from one end of the elongated tubular member, and first and second connection members. The fingernail brush is configured to apply a nail polish to a fingernail in an operational mode. The first connection member is configured to be detachably connected to connection member. A portion of the detachable nail brush apparatus containing the fingernail brush is configured to be replaced with one or more replacements via the first and second connection members without replacing the cap portion.
