The group of inventions can be used for removal of deposits in sewers and the simultaneous removal thereof in various pipelines, providing mechanization of the cleaning process in a sewage pipeline and eliminating the need for disassembling the drain system and manually cleaning it. A movable element and a cleaning tool mounted thereon, both arranged within the sewage pipeline, are moved along the sewage pipeline by means of a drive mounted outside the sewage pipeline and connected to the movable element. In the initial position, the cleaning tool is located at the end of the sewage pipeline, outside the sewage pipeline portion connecting the drain pipe with a riser. When the cleaning tool reaches the end position at the junction of the sewage pipeline and the riser, the drive and the movable element move the cleaning tool to its initial position.

The general field of the disclosure herein relates to the design of one or more health related monitoring or maintenance devices. These devices may include but are not limited to devices that monitor and/or maintain the health of users or devices that monitor and/or maintain the health of assets. The devices include oral cleaning devices for maintaining and monitoring the oral health of users, clothing for monitoring the health and fitness of users and charging pads which may monitor the health or assets being charged. Sensors may be integrated in these devices including but not limited to IMUs, thermocouples or oral cleaning devices, IMUs in clothing like shoes or wrist bands, or timers or charging sensors in magnetic surfaces which may cause one or more objects and/or other magnetic surfaces to float when a desired function is achieved.

A powered toothbrush includes a handle, a power source disposed in the handle, a head including a cavity disposed at a distal end of the handle, an electrically conducting element disposed in the cavity and electrically connected to the power source, and a movable cleaning element connected to the head and movable relative to the cavity. The movable cleaning element includes a tooth cleaning support member, a tooth cleaning element mounted on the support member, and a ferromagnetic member. Application of an electrical current to the electrically conducting element generates a magnetic field at the electrically conducting element. The magnetic field selectively at least one of attracts and repels the ferromagnetic member to move the movable cleaning element relative to the electrically conducting element.

An oral cleaning device includes a head portion that supports cleaning elements, a handle portion extending from the head portion, an EMF generator disposed in the handle portion. An inductor is located in the head portion and is connected to the EMF generator.

Provided is a brush roller magnet assembly which may be utilized on various types of mechanical devices such as a vacuum cleaner. The brush roller magnet assembly includes a brush roller having a first end, a second end, a cylindrical lateral outer surface and an opening positioned at any point along the cylindrical lateral surface of the brush roller. The opening of the brush roller opening has at least one side surface, a bottom surface, a width, a depth and a borehole positioned at the bottom surface of the opening. A magnet having an opening is positioned within the brush roller opening and a connector is received within the magnet opening to fasten the magnet to the brush roller. The position of the magnet inserted within the brush roller opening is adjustable through various means disclosed herein.

A brush with magnetic filaments is described. The brush may be used, for example, as a brush for applying a cosmetic material. The filaments of the brush may, in one example, be made of a synthetic material infused with magnetic material.

A vibration reduction assembly (200) including: (i) a shaft (240); (ii) a first component (210) positioned along the shaft and having a first face (212) comprising a plurality of magnets (230) positioned to alternate between a magnet having a first magnetic pole (232) at the first face and a magnet having the opposite magnetic pole (234) at the first face; and (iii) a second component (220) positioned along the shaft and having a first face (222) comprising a plurality of ferromagnetic extensions (260), wherein the first face of the first component is separated from the first face of the second component by a gap (280) having an adjustable first distance, and wherein a pair of the plurality of magnets interact via magnetic force with a respective one of the ferromagnetic extensions to reduce vibrations from a drivetrain to a housing portion of the personal care device.

A Manual Force Sensitive Toothbrush which includes a pivot section which couples a main beam section to a bristle beam section. The pivot section provides notification to user when force upon gumline is exceeded beyond the predetermined levels of force. The pivot is a manual system the connects and reconnects through the use of magnets. When magnets are in connect, the main beam and bristle beam sections provide the end user a gripping section and bristle section to carefully and effectively brush tooth and gums, adversely the force sensitive toothbrush releases upon excessive force applied against tooth and gum—creating a force sensitive section in the toothbrush as referred to as the pivot section. The release of the bristle beam section extends between 15-20 degrees from the resting plane of the main beam section. As further use, the bristle beam section bristle head backside has a thoughtfully designed indent for the use to apply an index finger to stabilize the main beam section with the bristle beam section to brush the tongue with ability to apply forces above that designed for the tooth and gum.

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 personal hygiene device. The personal hygiene device, which may be a brush with replaceable components, allows a user to brush or clean, preferably via scrubbing or applying a cleansing agent or solution and rubbing one or more parts of a mammalian, preferably human, body. The brush with replaceable components may comprise a lower member, an upper member, and an intermediate member. The upper member secures to the lower member via the intermediate member. Both the upper member and the intermediate member are constructed and arranged to be removable and/or replaceable. Alternately, the personal hygiene device may include an upper member and a lower member removably coupled to an intermediate member via magnets.
