A hair brush includes a handle defining a longitudinal axis and a brush head having at least two longitudinal primary arms extending longitudinally from the handle and disposed in lateral spaced relation to define a longitudinal gap therebetween. Each of the longitudinal primary arms includes a pair of longitudinal rear spines disposed in lateral spaced relation, a single longitudinal intermediate spine extending from the rear spines, and a pair of longitudinal forward spines disposed in lateral spaced relation and extending from the intermediate spine. Hair engaging bristles are disposed on each of the rear spines, the intermediate spines and the forward spines. The at least two longitudinal primary arms are substantially flexible to conform to the contour of the user's head. A container containing a hair treatment agent such as dry shampoo may be releasably mounted to the handle.

A portable toothbrush having an internal water source that allows a user to brush his or her teeth while away from a bathroom or other external water source. The portable toothbrush has an internal water source for dispensing water into a user's mouth and a storage receptable for suctioning waste or rinse water from the user's mouth back into the storage receptacle for disposal after use. The toothbrush may have the toothpaste impregnated on the toothbrush head or the toothpaste may be contained in refillable receptacle as a part of the toothbrush head. The toothbrush of the present invention can be automatic (electric motor or pump) or manual. The toothbrush can be a one-time use toothbrush or multiple-use.

A liquid dispenser for discharging liquids, in particular in rod shape. The liquid dispenser has a liquid store for receiving liquid prior to discharge, and a discharge opening for discharging the liquid. The liquid dispenser has a pumping device having an actuating surface for manual actuation, by which liquid is conveyed from the liquid store to the discharge opening. The liquid store is provided within an exchangeable container unit, couplable to a main unit including the pumping device (62) and the discharge opening, and is uncouplable therefrom. For the exchangeable coupling of the container unit to the main unit is provided a coupling device, by which the container unit, by pressing against the main unit, is alternately couplable thereto and releasable therefrom. The coupling device possesses two coupling members, wherein one coupling member is provided on the container unit and one coupling member on the main unit.

The touchup paint applicator system includes a paint capsule, an activator, a sponge, and a handle. The sponge may be operative to clean a surface. As a non-limiting example, the surface may be a wall. The activator may be pressed to pierce the paint capsule, located within a cavity inside of the handle. The pierced paint capsule may release paint into the sponge. Released paint may be applied to the surface by placing the sponge, soaked with the released paint, against the surface. The handle may hinge open to provide access to the paint capsule.

A personal care brush includes a brush head portion and handle portion with an exposed groove for receiving a first container that stores one to six doses of a facial or oral care product. The groove leads to a channel that runs through the brush head to an opening at a bristle frame side of the brush head. A pushing member is manually advanced along the groove to push product from the first container into the channel and out through the opening. A member located at a backside of the brush head is movable relative to an axis of the toothbrush. The member has a first position for personal care applications and a second position for facilitating exposure of the channel for channel cleaning.

A portable toothbrush having an internal water source that allows a user to brush his or her teeth while away from a bathroom or other external water source. The portable toothbrush has an internal water source for dispensing water into a user's mouth and a storage receptable for suctioning waste or rinse water from the user's mouth back into the storage receptacle for disposal after use. The toothbrush may have the toothpaste impregnated on the toothbrush head or the toothpaste may be contained in refillable receptacle as a part of the toothbrush head. The toothbrush of the present invention can be automatic (electric motor or pump) or manual. The toothbrush can be a one-time use toothbrush or multiple-use.

A toothbrush comprises a handle section and a brush head. The handle section further comprises a channel having at least one outlet opening which is fluidly coupled to a toothpaste supply, wherein the toothpaste is conveyed from the toothpaste supply via the channel to the at least one outlet opening via a suction process carried out with a mouth of an user.

A device for freshening breath includes a hollow housing sized to be placeable over a finger, a brush unit for brushing teeth, the brush unit being integrally formed with the housing and including a plurality of bristles; and breath freshening fluid held via surface tension within the brush unit and releasable upon of contact of the brush unit with the teeth.

An oral care implement for dispensing an oral care agent includes a housing, reservoir therein containing an oral care fluid, and an electrical circuit comprising first and second electrodes connected to an onboard power source. Each electrode is in contact with the oral care fluid in the housing. An actuator, operably coupled to the power source, is configured to both selectively energize the circuit and activate dispensing of the oral care fluid. An electrical charge is applied to the oral care fluid by activating the actuator when dispensing the oral care fluid. When the fluid comprises a peroxide based tooth whitening agent, the dispensed fluid pH is increased by the electrical charge which improves the efficacy of the whitener. In one embodiment, the implement is a modular system including a powered base unit and one or more interchangeable cartridges each having a reservoir containing an oral care fluid.

End effectors and systems including end effectors configured to provide colorimetric indicia of a wear state of the end effector are described. In one embodiment, the end effector includes: a base portion coupleable to a motor; a chamber including an optically translucent window and a chamber interior; and a flowable material disposed in the chamber interior and having a color. The end effector is configured to provide colorimetric indicia of a wear state of the end effector based at least in part on mixing of the flowable material.
