An electric toothbrush, in combination with a universal base for receiving and wirelessly charging the toothbrush, the base to be coupled with the electric toothbrush for wireless communication therebetween. The base comprises a magnetic element for forming a magnetic connection with the electric toothbrush when the latter is received by the base for charging. The base includes a charging component for inductively charging the electric toothbrush, a Bluetooth component for communicating usage data received from the toothbrush during a brushing session, an analyzing component for instantaneous processing of the usage data received from the toothbrush, a timer-clock component for displaying either a count-up or a countdown of the brushing session during the brushing session and time of day before and after the brushing session, and a multi-functional light component for instantaneously communicating, during the brushing session, at least one element of the usage data.

A dental treatment appliance transmits a pulsed light signal towards the oral cavity and captures images of the oral cavity from light returned from the oral cavity. A controller actuates the treatment of the oral cavity of the user depending on the captured images.

The present invention is a hairstyling tool capable of emitting fragrance and/or lights. As non-limiting embodiments, the hairstyling tool may be a hair pick, a comb, or a brush that includes a first end, a second end, a front side, a rear side, at least one edge or sidewall, a first or handle section, and a second or hairstyling section. In addition, the hairstyling tool further includes some, many, most or all of the following fragrance-related components, lights-related components, or their equivalents: a charging port, a power source, a fragrance activator or initiator, a fragrance pump line, a fragrance source or element, a light source, a nozzle or outlet, an activation member, a power source wire(s), and a power wire(s) for lights.

The invention relates a powder brush, which includes a body having mounting means for mounting a powder cartridge thereon and a brush head assembly attachable to an operative front end of the body. The brush head assembly defines a bristle mounting means capable of retaining a plurality of circumferentially arranged bristles therein. Furthermore, the powder brush includes a powder dispensing arrangement, in use, operable selectively to dispense powder from the powder cartridge onto the plurality of bristles. The dispensing arrangement includes an agitator disposed inside the powder cartridge, which cartridge includes a biasing means operable to bias the agitator towards a closed and open position. The bristles comprise of features, in particular, ostrich feathers of which a stem portion is secured to the brush head assembly.

The present invention offers a halo-illuminating light pattern for clearly showing areas of a pet's fur to the user performing brushing. Such a halo-illuminating light pattern provides a full, 360-degree light pattern of the pet's fur. This eliminates the necessity for using an additional light source, for example a flashlight or being made to settle on a light source that only highlights one side of a pet's fur, leaving another side in shadow.

End effectors and systems including end effectors including embedded batteries and auxiliary components powered by the batteries are described. In an example, the end effector includes a base portion coupleable to a motor carried by an appliance that is separate from the end effector; and a battery disposed in the base portion configured to power an auxiliary component of the end effector.

A cleaning apparatus includes a body elongated along an axis between a first end and a second end, the body defining a chamber. The cleaning apparatus includes a brush supported by the body and movable from a retracted position within the chamber to an extended position outside of the chamber.

An oral healthcare personal appliance (10), configured for use with a removable brush head (20) having a first light guide (28), comprises a handle (16), an actuator (14) with a hollow drive shaft (18), a second light guide (36) disposed co-axially between first and second ends of the hollow drive shaft, a rear stop connection adapter (62) coupled to the second ends of the hollow drive shaft and the second light guide, a light source (66) to emit light into the second light guide, and an optional front stop connection adapter (34) coupled to the first ends of the hollow drive shaft and the second light guide. Physically coupling the brush head to the handle enables both (i) a rotation of the brush head via a rotation of the hollow drive shaft and (ii) a transmission of light from the light source through the second light guide and into the first light guide.

The invention relates to an electric toothbrush handle and an electric toothbrush. The electric toothbrush handle comprises: a shell in the inner cavity of which at least one light emitting element is arranged; and a display interface arranged on the outer side of the shell and covering the light emitting element; wherein the display interface is provided with a mark in a set shape at a position corresponding to each light emitting element; the light of the light emitting element is capable of penetrating through the display interface so that the mark is visible. With the mark formed on the display interface, the machining process of the electric toothbrush handle is simplified, and the electric toothbrush with the electric toothbrush handle can effectively prevent water ingress.
