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.

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.

A cleaning and maintenance multi-tool for electronic devices is provided, which includes multiple tools in a single body, where the tools are capable of cleaning different components of mobile electronic devices such as smart phones, tablets, digital cameras, laptop or PC computers, or the like.

A grout cleaning hand tool includes a grout cleaning head assembly with a removable brush subassembly. An elongate handle extends upwardly from the grout cleaning head assembly and is held by an operator in a standing posture. The elongate handle includes a handle rod held by a first hand of the operator, and an auxiliary T-grip handle held by a second hand of the operator. The brush subassembly includes a long narrow bundle of bristles secured to a base, slidably mounted to a channel of the grout cleaning head assembly. The handle rod and the T-grip handle provide ergonomic positions for the operator to exert downward compression forces on the grout cleaning head assembly to facilitate cleaning grout lines in tiled floors. The brush subassembly may include a brush handle for detail-work grout cleaning while holding the brush subassembly close to the floor when removed from the head assembly.

A dental hygiene system can include a dental cleaning tip, the tip can include rounded protrusions configured to optimize teeth cleaning and stimulating gums; a supporting member, wherein the supporting member can include a tip coupling mechanism, wherein the tip coupling mechanism can connect the dental cleaning tip to the supporting member; and an angled handle, wherein the angled handle can be coupled to the supporting member and extend away from the supporting member, wherein the tip coupling mechanism can permit removal of the dental cleaning tip; wherein the dental cleaning tip can include a first flat surface and a second flat surface oriented parallel along a conical axis of the dental cleaning tip to maximize dental hygiene; and wherein the bases of the rounded protrusions can increase from an apex of the dental cleaning tip to a base of the dental cleaning tip.

A pre-packaged and pre-loaded paint applicator includes a vacuum sealed package and a new paint applicator sealed within the vacuum-sealed package. The new paint applicator has a paint receiving portion pre-loaded with paint. The paint applicator is removed from the vacuum-sealed package and used when only the relatively small amount of paint that is pre-loaded onto the paint applicator is needed. The pre-packaged and pre-loaded paint applicator can be useful in applications such as, for example, paint samples, paint touch up, and the like.

A device for cleaning welds. The device comprises a bristles pad, the bristles pad being electrically conductive to deliver electrical current to a weld to be cleaned when the bristles pad is in physical contact with the weld. The device further includes a bristles pad support, the bristles pad support including an elongated body receiving the bristles pad and extending along the bristles pad, the elongated body including a first section and a second section attached to each other, the first section being separable from the second section to reduce a length of the bristles pad support.

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.

A method of manufacturing a brush includes providing a core wire section having a proximal end and a distal end, and an integral tip on the distal end, forming a bristle element having a throughbore, and inserting the core wire section into the throughbore until the bristle element is received on the core wire section.

A dish brush for conventional sweeping machines has a polygonal central base plate and trapezoidal demountable or removable segmental plates each provided with multiple brush plugs. I-shaped radial profiles are equispaced about the periphery of the base plate, are welded to apices thereof, and have respective axes radially directed toward a center of the base plate. The central base plate has contour edge plates 4 fixed to a planar center portion via two of the I-shaped radial profiles and inclined at an angle relative to the planar center portion. The demountable segmental plates are each slidable to mount between two I-shaped profiles and are each bolted to a respective one of the contour edge plates.
