CLEANING AND SANITIZING SYSTEM
An embodiment of a system suitable for cleaning or sanitizing fingers includes a vessel having first and second opposing ends and a wall surface. A closure member is positionable about the first end to contain fluid within the vessel. A sanitizing bowl has a side shaped to hold fluid. Cleaning elements, each having a tip, are configured for placement along the side of the bowl so that the cleaning element tips extend in a direction away from the bowl. The tips are positioned to provide scrubbing or brushing action along a crevice region of a finger when a portion of the finger extends into the vessel and is moved along the cleaning element tips to facilitate cleaning or sanitizing the finger with the fluid.
Cleaning apparatus
A cleaning device including a spray bottle, roller, and scrubber apparatus. The roller is positioned about the reservoir of the spray bottle. The removable scrubber is positioned in the base of the spray bottle. The roller uses a washable absorbent pad to clean surfaces with cleaning solution deposited by the spray bottle. The spray mechanism is held in two grips, a spray grip and a reverse grip in order to make use of the spray mechanism and the roller, respectively.
PORTABLE FOAM BRUSH
A portable foam brush assembly having a base having a soap supply, a water supply, and an electrical supply. A foam brush wand is detachably dockable to the base and in electrical and fluid communication with the foam brush wand having battery pack, a peristaltic pump, a reservoir chamber, a foaming chamber, an air pump, a brush and a momentary release switch. The base water supply and the base soap supply, when activated, are configured to travel by a water supply hose and a soap supply hose to a tee in the base where they are combined in a combined hose to a base quick coupler that is connectable to a reciprocal foam brush wand quick coupler, which has a foam brush wand hose to deliver the water soap mixture to bladder in the foam brush wand.
Oral care implement with product applicator
An oral care implement with product application. In one embodiment, the implement is a fluid dispensing toothbrush having a body comprised of a handle, a head, and an internal cavity containing an oral care material. The head includes tooth cleaning elements and an applicator in fluid communication with the internal cavity. In one embodiment, the applicator includes at least one spring-actuated valve operable to dispense the fluidic oral care material upon engagement with a user's oral tissue. The oral care material is delivered from the internal cavity upon applying a pressing force to a moveable sealing element of the valve. In certain embodiments, a pressurizer may be provided to pressurize the oral care material for positive dispensing. In one embodiment, the applicator is disposed in a soft tissue cleaner on the toothbrush head.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ORAL PH CHANGE
Disclosed is a new method, and a system, for increasing the pH of a composition applied on teeth and/or gums. The composition is gelable under the influence of a pH change. The pH change typically is a pH increase in the event of a direct pH-triggered gelation. The pH change typically is a pH decrease in the event of gelation induced by ions, such as calcium ions, released from a pH-sensitive carrier. The device comprises a dispensing unit for the composition, a distal end of which is adapted to apply said substance onto teeth or gums. The device further comprises an electrode system comprising first and second electrodes, the first electrode being adapted to be held against the composition at a location at or near teeth or gums, and the second electrode being adapted to be held against the composition at a location away from teeth or gums, The electrode system is adapted so as to provide an electrical potential difference of 1.5 to 10 Volt between the electrodes.
Oral Care Implement
One or more oral care implements are described. The oral care implement includes an outer member, an inner member positioned within at least a portion of the outer member, and a cleaning element extending from the outer member. Also provided herein are one or more related methods.
UNIT DOSE ORAL CLEANING DEVICE AND PRODUCT DISPENSING SYSTEM
An oral cleaning device includes an elongated, hollow body, a cleaning head, and a neck portion extending between the hollow body and the cleaning head. The neck portion forms a fluid channel between the hollow body and the cleaning head and the cleaning head includes at least one opening in fluid communication with the fluid channel. The device further includes a plunger located within the hollow body, movable between a first position and a second position, and a solution chamber formed within the hollow body which contains a cleaning solution and is in fluid communication with the fluid channel in the hollow neck portion. A cleaning end of the plunger is configured to move the cleaning solution in the solution chamber through the fluid channel and through the at least one opening in the cleaning head when the plunger is moved from the first position toward the second position.
APPLICATOR
There is provided an applied liquid applicator for discharging applied liquid by turning of an operating portion provided to a barrel main body, in which filling efficiency of the applied liquid stored in the barrel main body with respect to an inside capacity of the barrel main body is improved. The applied liquid is fed to the applicator portion through the first valve and the applied liquid feed path by turning the operating portion and sliding the piston in the front-back direction by use of the cam mechanism portion.
Portable foam brush
A portable foam brush includes a soap reservoir, such as optionally in a base or in a wand, a foaming chamber, and an air compressor, such as optionally battery-operated air compressor. The compressor is configured for supplying air to act upon the soap from the reservoir to cause dispensing of soap to the foaming chamber. In some embodiments, the compressor may also supply air to the foaming chamber. In use, the soap and the air in the foaming chamber combine to form an air and soap foam. The brush includes a brush end configured for receiving foam from the foaming chamber and dispensing the foam.
Oral care device
A toothbrush device having a body defining a cavity and an input port disposed on the body in fluid communication with the cavity. The input port permits brushing by-products to pass through the input port and into the cavity while restricting passage of the brushing by-products outward from the cavity. In one form, the toothbrush device includes an elongated handle with a reservoir having at least a portion disposed within the handle. The reservoir is sized to hold a predetermined amount of oral care product, and a mouthpiece is in fluid communication with the reservoir to discharge the oral care product from the reservoir.
