Example aspects of a cosmetics brush and a method of providing a cosmetics brush are disclosed. The cosmetics brush can comprise a plurality of elongate primary brush fibers, each of the primary brush fibers defining a rectangular transverse cross section, each of the primary brush fibers defining four substantially parallel edges along a length of the primary brush fiber; and a ferrule attached to the plurality of primary brush fibers.

Proposed is a toothbrush having pairs of bristles configured in a bundle, each of the pair of bristles being composed of a first bristle having a fine end portion and a second bristle having a flat end portion, thereby more efficiently removing food remnants that are stuck between teeth or remain on the surfaces of teeth, and efficiently removing food remnants stuck between teeth and dental braces even when the dental braces are installed on the teeth.

A brush that includes an intertwisted wire core defining a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of bristles secured within the intertwisted wire core, each of the plurality of bristles having opposed ends that extend radially away from the core, and at least some of the opposed ends of the plurality of bristles being split into a plurality of fragments.

A tuft picker for a brush-making machine for automated production of brushes, such as toothbrushes, which is adapted to remove filaments from a filament container. The tuft picker comprises two parts. Each of the two parts comprises at least one picker eye for taking up a predefined number of loose filaments from the filament container. These picker eyes comprise an opening which can be opened and closed by moving the cover tool from a first position into a second position during one working stroke.

A hand-held hair styling device includes a body having a front side, a back side, and a side edge extending between the front and back sides. A rotatable base is mounted on the body for rotation relative to the body about an axis of rotation. The rotatable base has a surface facing generally away from the body. The axis of rotation of the rotatable base extends substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the body. At least one hair styling element is mounted on the surface of the rotatable base for rotation with the rotatable base. The hair styling element includes a twisted elongate member.

A toothbrush comprised at least one unitary brush head having a base and at least one filament and extending therefrom and having a free end terminating with a tip, wherein the filament has a length of from 6.0 mm to 20.0 mm between the base and the free end, and wherein the unitary brush head is made from a plastic material that has a melt flow rate of not greater than about 30 g/10 min measured in accordance with ISO 1133.
