A cleaning element carrier for a toothbrush in a form of a disk has a back surface including a central depression covering at least 70% of the back surface and forming an edge at the border. The carrier's front surface includes at least one protrusion so that the front surface comprises two levels, wherein the area covered by the depression is larger than the area covered by the protrusion.

An application element and an applicator comprising pluralities of said application elements on a molded support is provided for applying a product such as a cosmetic, a medicinal or a care product. At least one application element of the applicator includes a base portion and at least one thin projection. The thin projection includes at least one surface and wherein the at least one outer surface flushes with at least a portion of an outer surface of the base portion.

There is disclosed a hair brush. The brush has an elongate body including a utility portion and a handle portion at opposite ends thereof and defining a longitudinal axis. The utility portion includes a back member acting as a support from which brushing protections extend, and defines a first plane and a second plane perpendicularly intersecting the first plane. The back member is flexibly movable with respect to the handle portion on the first plane and the second plane. The utility portion further includes a pair of spines arranged at opposite sides of the back member for controlling the flexible movement of the back member whereby the extent of control of movement of the back member by the spines are either limited to the movement on only the first plane or substantially more on the first plane than the second plane.

The toothbrush comprises: a toothbrush handle; a supporting part connected to the toothbrush handle; and a toothbrush head having first bristles and second bristles which are formed on the supporting part. The second bristles are bristles placed inside the first bristles, the first bristles are outermost bristles, the length of the second bristles is 70% or less of the length of the first bristles, and, when the first bristles are inserted between the teeth from the inside of the teeth, at least one among the first bristles can pass the space between teeth and then protrude to the outside of the teeth.

In order to prevent an application fluid from staining the skin surface when the application fluid is applied, a hair dye container includes a container storing a hair dyeing fluid and a grip, integrated with an application body, and being be attachable to and detachable from the container. The application body includes a fin section having multiple fins arranged at intervals, multiple combs having an outer diameter of at least 1 mm larger than the outer diameter of the fins, and an axial core having the fin section provided around the core to retain the a dyeing fluid by capillary action between the fins, some or several fins being interposed between the combs.

The invention is directed to an improved pan cleaning machine that has a cleaning section that comprises a plurality of frames for mounting a sequence of interchangeable modular cleaning mechanisms. It can include quick-release mounting arrangements so that cleaning mechanisms can be quickly changed for cleaning different types of pans or to replace brushes or other wearing parts of cleaning mechanisms when they require replacement. In some embodiments, the frames for mounting the cleaning mechanisms can comprise swing arms so that the cleaning mechanisms can be swung away from the cleaning position so that the cleaning mechanism can be removed and replaced without interrupting the operation of the machine. If the machine is stopped, the swing arm can still be used to facilitate access to the cleaning mechanism to reduce the time needed to complete the maintenance or replacement. This also allows the position of the cleaning mechanism in relation to the baking pans to be adjustable during the cleaning process which can permit increased application of brushing forces or prevent overloading and also permits easy jam removal. In addition, the swing arm makes the pan cleaning machine more adaptable for cleaning pans with different depths and customizable. A method of operation and control, including pre-programmed cleaning cycles and various control paradigms is also provided.

A hairbrush includes a main body, a first set of bristles, a second set of bristles, and a handle extending from the main body. Preferably, the hairbrush will have bristle sockets or the like arranged along the main body permitting a plurality of bristles to be inserted into each of the sockets. The bristles of the first set of bristles are substantially longer than the bristles of the second set of bristles. Furthermore, the bristles of the first set of bristles and the bristles of the second set of bristles will be of a different type. The first set of bristles and the second set of bristles can be arranged in a stacked helical pattern around the main body. In other embodiments, the first set of bristles and the second set of bristles can be arranged on flat hairbrushes. In use, the first set of bristles reach to the scalp and lift strands of hair up from the scalp, and the second set of bristles then smooth these strands. The result is to produce volume and luxurious hair.

A blended cosmetic brush head may include a first plurality of fibers each having a first diameter, a second plurality of fibers each having a second diameter, and a third plurality of fibers each having a third diameter, where the first, second, and third diameters are different. The brush may be adapted to simulate a natural hair brush, more particularly, goat hair.

A cosmetic brush that includes a plurality of polymer bristles that extend from a polymer core in a radial direction, wherein at least a portion of the core is twisted and bristles in the twisted portion are arranged in one or more columns disposed in one or more spiral paths that extend along at least a portion of the longitudinal axis of the core is presented. The polymer bristles have grooves and/or projections on their surfaces for holding cosmetic liquid for the cosmetic brush.

A hair brush comprising: a first half that includes a first brush head connected to a first handle; a second half that includes a second brush head connected to a second handle; a plurality of first bristles and second bristles attached to the first brush head and the second brush head, wherein the bristles are arranged in multiple groups in which each group includes a second bristle surrounded by multiple first bristles; and a hinge that connects the first half to the second half, wherein the hinge biases the hair brush in an open position.
