Methods of making personalized toothbrush devices
The various embodiments described herein include methods, devices, and systems for creating customized dental care. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a dental model of a particular user's teeth and determining, based on the dental model of the particular user's teeth, a configuration for a set of cleaning elements to be included with the toothbrush device. The method further includes forming the toothbrush device for the particular user based on the dental model of the particular user's teeth, whereby the toothbrush device includes: (i) a cleaner body, personalized for the particular user based on the dental model of the particular user's teeth, that defines a cleaning cavity shaped for receiving the particular user's teeth, and (ii) the set of cleaning elements, integrally formed with the cleaner body, that contact and clean the particular user's teeth during application of the toothbrush device, whereby the cleaning elements have the determined configuration.
CONNECTING ELEMENT, A BASE UNIT AND A CLEANING HEAD FOR USE IN AN ORAL CARE APPLIANCE
A connecting element, a base unit and a cleaning head for use in an oral care appliance are disclosed. The connecting element is configured to engage operatively with the cleaning head and the base unit to form a first connection and a second connection respectively.
BRUSH AND HEAD
A brush according to the present disclosure includes a head and a body. The head includes a bristle extending in a first direction. The body includes an actuator configured to expand and contract in a second direction intersecting the first direction, a connection member configured to transmit a vibration of the actuator to the head, and a housing that accommodates the actuator. The connection member includes a leg fixed to the housing.
BRUSH AND HEAD
A brush includes a head with bristles, an actuator that expands and contracts in accordance with an electric signal, a connection member that transmits vibration of the actuator to the head, and a body including a housing that houses the actuator. The direction of reciprocal vibration of the head is at a predetermined angle relative to the direction of extension of the housing.
VIBRATION STRUCTURE OF ELECTRICAL TOOTHBRUSH
A vibration structure of electrical toothbrush includes a shaft rod, a rocking rod, a fixing member and a vibration stem. The shaft rod has a first end and a second end. A driving power is applied to the first end to drive and vibrate the shaft rod. One end of the rocking rod is correspondingly inserted in the second end of the shaft rod. A weight block is disposed at the other end of the rocking rod. The weight block is eccentrically arranged to cause unbalance of the rocking rod to deflect from a central axis of the shaft rod. The fixing member is fitted on the rocking rod between the shaft rod and the weight block. The vibration stem is formed with an internal first space. The shaft rod is correspondingly disposed in the first space with the fixing member in contact with inner side of the vibration stem.
Powered oral care implement
A powered toothbrush includes a handle, a power source disposed in the handle, a head including a cavity disposed at a distal end of the handle, an electrically conducting element disposed in the cavity and electrically connected to the power source, and a movable cleaning element connected to the head and movable relative to the cavity. The movable cleaning element includes a tooth cleaning support member, a tooth cleaning element mounted on the support member, and a ferromagnetic member. Application of an electrical current to the electrically conducting element generates a magnetic field at the electrically conducting element. The magnetic field selectively at least one of attracts and repels the ferromagnetic member to move the movable cleaning element relative to the electrically conducting element.
Tooth Brushing System
The present invention relates to a tooth brushing system that provides users with a novel and convenient way to clean their teeth. The system is primarily comprised of at least one brushing ball with a plurality of bristles and at least one battery, at least one toothbrush which is further comprised of at least one LED and a plurality of bristles, and at least one storage case. The brushing ball is further comprised of a LED light that may be changed to a plurality of lighting colors. The system further provides a toothbrush that allows a user to be able to see into the darker areas of their mouth to facilitate better cleaning.
ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH
An electric toothbrush relates to personal care products, oral care products, namely, toothbrushes. The technical problem to be solved by this technical solution is the lack of functional portable electric toothbrushes that are easy to transport and couple bristles for cleaning with a cleaning agent. Similar toothbrush currently on the market do not provide adequate hygiene, namely, cleaning agent is discharged from the bore directly through the bristles, which results in the ingress of catalase, bacteria into the internal container with cleaning agent. This technical problem is solved by achieving such a technical result as improving the quality of brushing teeth, by ensuring the hygiene of the portable electric toothbrush that couples a bristle for cleaning with a cleaning agent. The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the electric toothbrush consists of a bottle body containing the cleaning agent, a neck with a bristle attachment, a push dispenser for feeding the cleaning agent, while the bottle body and the neck with the bristle attachment are connected by a fixing device and move in the longitudinal plane relative to each other, wherein the neck housing comprises an insert-type electric actuator tightly fixed therein, a compartment for at least one battery, an insulating cover of the compartment, and a button for activating the device, wherein the bristle attachment performs a vibration movement, and wherein the spout outlet of the pressure head does not come into contact with the bristle attachment when in the folded position.
SOUND, USE OF A SOUND, PERSONAL CARE IMPLEMENT EXHIBITING A SOUND, AND USE OF A CONNECTOR FOR PROVIDING A SOUND
A personal care implement comprises a head and a handle, the head being repeatedly attachable to and detachable from the handle. The personal care implement exhibits a sound when the head gets attached to or detached from the handle, thereby providing a signal of secure attachment or detachment. The sound is characterized by a tonal component of about 4000 Hz to about 6000 Hz, preferably over a time length of about 0.1 s to about 0.3 s, on a tonality frequency vs. time analysis.
PERSONAL CARE DEVICE AND RELATED SYSTEM
A personal care system is disclosed, where the personal care system includes a personal care device including a head having a central axis extending therethrough; a plurality of scrubbing elements arranged on an outer side of a pliant surface at a front portion of the head; and a handle extending from a rear portion of the head between a first end and an opposing second end, a central axis of the handle being at an angle of about 20 degrees to about 40 degrees relative to the central axis of the head; and a support arranged to receive the personal care device.
