An adapter for disposition in various tool handles to convert the single use tool into a multi-functional tool. The adapter can be added to a tool handle during or post manufacture. The adapter has a domed hammerhead on a threaded shaft, with a square shoulder beneath the head for rotation resistance, a threaded shaft, a normally disposed tubular portion having one or two hexagonal bit holders, one of which may be blocked off, and an optional lower threaded shaft portion. Suitable tools for addition of the adapter include folding knives, box cutters, taping tools, paint brushes, and others with a long single handle for one hand grasping.

A brush belt includes a base member having a drive surface configured to engage a drive member and a mounting surface opposite the drive surface, the mounting surface having a longitudinal axis, a first edge, and second edge, the first edge and the second edge being positioned on opposite sides of the mounting surface and extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a plurality of bristles, each bristle having a first end that is proximal to the mounting surface and a second end distal thereto, the second ends of the bristles collectively defining an undulating surface profile relative to the mounting surface when viewed parallel to the mounting surface and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis from either the first edge or the second edge.

A material comprising: a support 10; and a brush layer 20 containing a brush-like polymer chain assemblage 21 formed of a plurality of polymer chains and a swelling liquid 22, in which a brush layer 20 is swollen with the swelling liquid 22, the brush layer 20 retaining on the surface a lubricating liquid 30, and the swelling liquid 22 contained in the brush layer 20 and the lubricating liquid 30 being phase-separated to form a liquid-liquid phase separation interface 40 in between and a sliding system using the material.

A brush belt including a base member having a first side with a traction surface and a second side opposite the first side defining a mounting surface presenting a first edge and a second edge and having a longitudinal axis therebetween and parallel thereto and a plurality of bristles coupled to the mounting surface and arranged in a first section of bristles and a second section of bristles, the bristles of the first section each having a first diameter and the bristles of the second section each having a second diameter that is different than the first diameter. The first section abuts the second section.

An interdental brush (1) with a handle (2) and a brush head (3), wherein the brush head (3) includes a wire element (4), which extends from the handle (2) to a free end (5) and to which bristles (7) are attached, which decrease in length towards the free end (5) of the wire element (4) in at least one section, and wherein a bristle-free section (8) is formed at the free end (5) of the wire element (4).

Implementations of a hair styling tool with a removable cosmetic jar are provided. The hair styling tool may comprise a styling head connected to an elongated handle by a cylindrical shaft, and a cosmetic jar that is threadedly secured to the base of the handle. The cosmetic jar is configured to store hair cream, lotion, or another cosmetic product therein. In some implementations, the hair styling tool may include a brush portion and a comb portion positioned on opposite sides of the styling head. In this way, depending on the type of hair and/or style, the user may select the appropriate styling tool (i.e., the brush portion or the comb portion) for styling their hair.

A brush belt includes a base member having a drive surface configured to engage a drive member and a mounting surface opposite the drive surface, the mounting surface having a longitudinal axis, a first edge, and second edge, the first edge and the second edge being positioned on opposite sides of the mounting surface and extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a plurality of bristles, each bristle having a first end that is proximal to the mounting surface and a second end distal thereto, the second ends of the bristles collectively defining an undulating surface profile relative to the mounting surface when viewed parallel to the mounting surface and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis from either the first edge or the second edge.

A filter screen brush apparatus includes a circular connecting portion that has an opening substantially centered on a longitudinal axis of the apparatus. At least one extension arm has one end coupled to the circular connecting portion and extends from the circular connecting portion along the longitudinal axis. The at least one extension arm includes an inner surface that faces the longitudinal axis. At least one brush is coupled to the inner surface of the at least one extension arm.

The brush stand includes a tiered base and a removable cover. The base may have two or more tiers, the next tier taller than the last, resembling a ladder. Each tier has one or more vertical slots in which makeup brushes can be placed. In tiers with multiple slots, slots are spaced from each other so that brushes are easily accessible. The height difference between the tiers will make the brushes more visible and accessible. The cover may be transparent and shields the brushes from environmental contaminants and dust.

The cutting device includes a blade (1), in which either the blade (1) can move relative to a sheet of flexible material (4) or the sheet of flexible material (4) can move relative to said blade (1), and the blade (1) is associated with a plurality of independent flexible bristles (2), which press and stabilize the flexible material vertically and/or horizontally against a base (5) where the flexible material to be cut is supported. The device can be used to apply constant and well-distributed pressure on the flexible material in the cutting zone, preventing the material from wrinkling and securing the same in an optimal manner relative to the blade, thereby facilitating the cutting.
