ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH AND UNIVERSAL BASE THEREFOR
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.
Manual oral care implement
A manual oral care implement comprises a handle, a connector and a head, the head being repeatedly attachable to and detachable from the handle via the connector. The handle has a distal end and a proximal end opposite to the distal end and adjacent to the head when the head is attached to the handle. The proximal end has an upper surface that is at least partially chamfered. The handle has a longitudinal axis and a cross-sectional area extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The chamfered surface and the cross-sectional area define therebetween an angle α from about 15° to about 30°.
Customizable cleaning brush
A customizable cleaning brush, including a main body, a plurality of head members removably connected to at least a portion of the main body to brush, scrub, and massage a body of a user, a plurality of operation controls disposed on at least a portion of a first side of the main body to perform at least one of a rotation, oscillation, and vibration of the plurality of head members, and a plurality of pressure controls disposed on at least a portion of a second side of the main body to perform at least one of a speed control and a pressure control of the plurality of head members.
Systems and methods to improve brushing behavior
This disclosure presents systems and methods to improve user brushing behavior. Exemplary implementations may: effectuate presentation of audio content via an audio output device, the audio content being characterized by an audio profile; obtain output signals from one or more sensors coupled to a user device, the output signals conveying user input information, the user input information defining user input by a user via the user device; determine, based on the user input information, a user profile, the user profile including one or more user values of the one or more audio attribute; compare the user profile with the audio profile to determine, for individual audio attributes, one or more differences; determine one or more scores reflecting the one or more differences; and/or perform other operations.
Oral care system
An oral care implement including a handle and an oral care refill head. The handle has a gripping portion, an engagement component coupled to a distal end of the gripping portion, and a stem. The engagement component includes a plate portion and a first engagement feature. The stem extends through an opening in the engagement component and protrudes from the plate portion. The oral care refill head includes an oral care treatment portion and a sleeve portion. The sleeve portion has an inner surface that defines a sleeve cavity having a cavity axis and a second engagement feature. When the oral care refill head is detachably coupled to the handle, the first and second engagement features mate with one another to at least one of: (1) position the oral care refill head and the handle in an operational alignment; and (2) lock the oral care refill head to the handle.
Electric toothbrush
The present application discloses an electric toothbrush, which relates to the technical field of toiletries, and specifically comprises a body and a toothbrush head, wherein two through holes are integrally formed at an end of an end cover at the front of the body, and two groups of lamp beads are installed on the inner side of the end cover near the top through the lamp control circuit board. The toothbrush head is composed of a sleeve, a central main rod and a vibrator docking unit as a whole, wherein the central main rod and the vibrator docking unit are all made of PMMA high light-transmitting plastic by integral injection molding. The present application improves the design on the basic structure of the existing split-type electric toothbrush, so that it can realize the disinfection and sterilization of each dead corner of the toothbrush head.
Oral care system and method
A method for oral care. In one aspect, the method for oral care includes a) receiving sensor data from at least one sensor configured to detect motion of an oral care device during a brushing routine of a user, the sensor data corresponding to the detected motion; and b) determining a target brushing time based on the sensor data. In another aspect, the method for oral care includes a) receiving sensor data from at least one sensor configured to detect brushing intensity during a brushing routine of a user, the sensor data corresponding to the detected brushing intensity; and b) determining a target brushing time based on the sensor data.
ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH SYSTEM WITH PRESSURE DETECTION
An electric toothbrushing device is disclosed, the device comprising means (16) for producing vibration of a toothbrush head (14), means (24, 32, 40, 42, 44) for producing an orientation signal indicating of an area of the mouth being brushed, and means (47, 48, 49) for producing a pressure signal indicating a pressure applied to the toothbrush head. The device further comprises processing means (46) arranged to link values of the orientation signal with values of the pressure signal in order to provide feedback to a user regarding a brushing pressure applied to each of a plurality of different areas of the mouth. By linking values of the orientation signal with values of the pressure signal, the user can be better informed about which parts of the mouth are being or have been brushed too hard. This can help the user to correct their brushing technique.
Oral care system
An oral care implement including a handle and an oral care refill head. The handle has a gripping portion, an engagement component coupled to a distal end of the gripping portion, and a stem. The engagement component includes a plate portion and a first engagement feature. The stem extends through an opening in the engagement component and protrudes from the plate portion. The oral care refill head includes an oral care treatment portion and a sleeve portion. The sleeve portion has an inner surface that defines a sleeve cavity having a cavity axis and a second engagement feature. When the oral care refill head is detachably coupled to the handle, the first and second engagement features mate with one another to at least one of: (1) position the oral care refill head and the handle in an operational alignment; and (2) lock the oral care refill head to the handle.
Oral Care Implement and Refill Head Thereof
An oral care refill head (300), the oral care refill head (300) may be detachably coupled to a handle (200). The handle (200) may include a stem (250) that is received within a connection cavity (326) of the oral care refill head (300). The stem (250) and the connection cavity (326) may have specific geometries and structures to ensure an adequate coupling therebetween. An oral care implement (100), the oral care implement (100) have a pressure sensing assembly, excessive pressure applied onto the oral care refill head (300) will cause the motor (140) and a motor chassis (401) to rock. As the motor chassis (401) rocks, a contact element (456) thereon will actuate a pressure actuator element (455). In response, a control unit (150) may initiate generation of a user perceptible signal to inform the user of the excess pressure.
