ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH SYSTEM WITH PRESSURE DETECTION
An electric toothbrushing device is disclosed, the device comprising means (16) for producing vibration of a toothbrush head (14), means (24, 32, 40, 42, 44) for producing an orientation signal indicating of an area of the mouth being brushed, and means (47, 48, 49) for producing a pressure signal indicating a pressure applied to the toothbrush head. The device further comprises processing means (46) arranged to link values of the orientation signal with values of the pressure signal in order to provide feedback to a user regarding a brushing pressure applied to each of a plurality of different areas of the mouth. By linking values of the orientation signal with values of the pressure signal, the user can be better informed about which parts of the mouth are being or have been brushed too hard. This can help the user to correct their brushing technique.
Electric Toothbrush
The present invention relate to an electric toothbrush with an elongate body comprising a housing, a brush head and a neck member arranged between the housing and the brush head, wherein i) the housing accommodates a motor for generating an oscillation movement to a shaft extended from the motor, i) the neck member couples with the shaft such that the oscillation movement is transmittable to the neck member whereby the neck member and the shaft are oscillatable together in the same extent, iii) a proximal end of the brush head is provided with a circumferential region rotatably fitted to a distal end of the neck member, and iv) the electric toothbrush further comprises an elongate strip member extending from the neck region to the brush head with opposite ends of the strip member fixedly connected to the brush head and the neck member, respectively.
Cleansing device
A cleansing device is proposed. The cleansing device may include an inner cleansing part coming into close contact with a cleansing target; an outer cleansing part provided outside the inner cleansing part; and a rotating part configured to rotate the inner cleansing part and the outer cleansing part relative to each other. The inner cleansing part and the outer cleansing part have at least one contact point.
Method Of Manufacturing A Mouthpiece Toothbrush And Mouthpiece Toothbrush
A method for producing a mouthpiece toothbrush is provided, in which at least one dental arch of the patient for whom the toothbrush is intended is scanned to generate scan data, or an impression of the dental arch is made. Based on the scan data or the then digitised impression, the dental arch space occupied by the dental arch is recorded. A bristle space is constructed around the at least one dental arch, and a toothbrush moulded piece is calculated, the surface of which facing the dental arch is determined by the dental arch space plus the bristle space. The surface is covered with a bristle carpet.
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.
MAKEUP BLENDER AND APPLICATOR
An apparatus to facilitate makeup blending and application is disclosed. The makeup blender includes a body that provides a steady state vibration and is easily grasped by a human hand. The makeup blender is electrically powered by replaceable batteries or rechargeable batteries. The makeup blender provides for an attachment interface that facilitates easy snap on or off, for attachments such as a brush or a cotton ball holder. The electrically powered consistent vibration on an attachment such as a brush provides for even and smooth blending of makeup over the skin.
STYLING DEVICE
A styling device for hair, comprising protrusions, wherein the protrusions comprise a blend of a high molecular weight polyethylene oxide and a water insoluble polymer.
CLEANING AND/OR TREATMENT UNIT FOR AN ORAL CLEANING AND/OR TREATMENT DEVICE
An oral cleaning and/or treatment unit (10), e.g. a head for an oral cleaning and/or treatment device, includes electrodes (18a, 18b) for emitting RF energy for providing an oral cleaning and/or treatment function. The unit includes at least a first (14a) and second (14b) protruding member, which protrude in a same general direction away from a base or support structure (12). Each comprises one or more electrodes for generating an RF field. The protruding members are adapted to have a flexibility that permits the member to resiliently bend or deform in a direction perpendicular the direction of extension of the member out of the support surface (‘lateral direction’).
FINGERTIP TOOTHBRUSH FOR PET
The present invention relates to a fingertip toothbrush for a pet, and more particularly, to a fingertip toothbrush for a pet that is configured to allow bristles to vibrate and reciprocally slide up and down, so that toothbrushing can be carefully and precisely achieved, which is effective in improving the teeth health of the pet.
Device for the ultrasound treatment of open wounds
An ultrasound-assisted wound cleanser in the form of a handheld device includes an integrated vibration motor, an integrated ultrasound generator, an integrated energy source for the vibration motor and the ultrasound generator, and a replaceable cleansing attachment which can be driven by the vibration motor for abrasively removing wound coatings. The cleansing attachment has an acoustic transducer which is designed to convert the electric oscillations generated by the ultrasound generator into sound waves, a device for reinforcing and/or distributing and/or transferring the ultrasound waves, and bristles and/or lamellas for the abrasive removal. Further, a method for cleansing wounds includes moving a cleansing attachment with bristles for abrasively removing wound coatings by a vibration motor. The cleansing attachment is oscillated by an ultrasound generator, and the oscillations for supporting the removal of wound coatings are transmitted into the wound via a transmission medium.
