An apparatus for washing and sanitizing elongate rotary brushes used for cleaning fruit, produce, and other food products includes a cylindrical housing (14), within which is installed a carrier assembly (16) for supporting the rotary brushes (12) to revolve around the interior of the housing and also to simultaneously spin the rotary brushes about their individual longitudinal axis (18). The interior of the housing is divided into separate zones for carrying out the steps of the cleaning and sanitation process. Effluent from the cleaning process is collected in a tank (30) located at the bottom of the housing. The brushes are conveniently loaded onto and removed from the apparatus (10) through a side door opening (52) provided in the housing.

An oral care sterilization system in one embodiment includes an oral care implement and sterilization unit. The oral care implement may be a toothbrush including tooth cleaning elements on a head portion and a first coupling member. The sterilization unit includes a housing and second coupling member that mutually engages the first coupling member to secure the toothbrush to the sterilization unit. Magnetic coupling may be used in one embodiment. The toothbrush may be mounted in a suspended manner from the sterilization unit. A sterilization element such as an ultraviolet light source disposed in the housing irradiates at least the toothbrush head portion to destroy bacterial contamination. In one aspect, the toothbrush and housing each include complementary thematic features sharing a common motif. The motif is of a nature to make brushing and care of the toothbrush more interesting for younger users.

A multifunctional bottle washing brush includes a sponge, a plurality of bristles, a handle, an extension stem, an ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer light, and actuatable soap-dispensing mechanism, and a motor. The sponge, the plurality of bristles, the extension stem, and the UV sterilizer light complete an interchangeable brush that removably and terminally mounted to the handle through a rotor of the motor. The actuatable soap-dispensing mechanism that is integrated into the handle is in fluid communication with the sponge to supply a flow of soap while the interchangeable brush is rotatably operated through the motor via a power switch. Resultantly, the multifunctional bottle washing brush is able to efficiently clean dishes while the UV sterilizer light disinfects the sponge and the plurality of bristles.

There is provided apparatus for retaining liquid for cleaning brushes. The apparatus comprises: a first receptacle means (20; 120) for retaining liquid; a second receptacle means (22; 122) for retaining liquid when the second receptacle means (22; 122) is in a first disposition, and for receiving an end of a brush for cleaning in the liquid; and mounting and operating means (30a, 30b, 32; 130a, 130b) for mounting the second receptacle on the first receptacle means so that the second receptacle is in the first disposition. The mounting and operating means is also for operating the apparatus to reconfigure the second receptacle to a draining disposition in which liquid in the second receptacle means drains into the first receptacle means, and to return the second receptacle means to the first disposition. The first receptacle is configured to retain more liquid than the second receptacle.

A skin care device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a brush module mounting part on which a brush module having a brush fixed thereto is mounted, a vibration motor configured to vibrate the brush module mounting part and the brush module in one direction, a rotating shaft formed in the one direction and configured to be fastened to the brush module mounting part, a rotating motor configured to be connected to the rotating shaft, a mounting detection sensor configured to be obtain a sensing value related to a mounting of the brush module, and a controller configured to detect a type of the mounted brush module on the basis of the sensing value and control driving of at least one of the vibration motor and the rotating motor according to a detected type.

A cleaning device includes a body, a cover, a germicidal lamp, and a vibration mechanism. The body includes a cavity configured receive a fluid, a first dental appliance, and a first portion of a second dental appliance. The cover is coupled to the body and configured to selectively move between an open position and a closed position. The cover includes two holes that can each retain the second dental appliance so the first portion of the second dental appliance is positioned within the cavity and a second portion of the second dental appliance is positioned external to the cavity and the cover. The germicidal lamp is coupled to the cover and configured to provide a sanitizing light to the first dental appliance and the first portion of the second dental appliance positioned within the cavity. The vibration mechanism is configured to vibrate the body and the dental appliances.

A toothbrush with suctioning and cleaning functions according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a toothbrush rod including a head portion and a handle portion, a brush disposed at the head portion, a through-hole portion formed at the head portion to supply cleaning water to an oral cavity or suction in dirty water from the oral cavity, a guide tube disposed within the toothbrush rod and connected to the through-hole portion to deliver the cleaning water to the through-hole portion or deliver the dirty water suctioned in through the through-hole portion to the outside, and an external main body to supply the cleaning water to the guide tube and to receive the dirty water from the guide tube.

A device for sanitizing and disinfecting hair styling tools such as hair brushes via ultraviolet radiation is described. The device is preferably equipped with a chamber disposed in a body equipped with a housing and a base. At least one UV bulb is disposed within the base, and is configured to cast UV light to a tool disposed within the chamber. Reflectors orient the emitted UV light such that the maximal surface area of the brush head is sanitized via the at least one UV bulb. The device is conventionally powered, and is configured to preferable deactivate automatically at the end of the sanitizing process.
