A toothbrush handle includes a support structure formed of clarified polypropylene and a body formed of thermoplastic elastomer disposed on the support structure. The support structure includes a web having a thickness in a first direction orthogonal to an axis of the toothbrush handle of less than 2 millimeters and at least one rib depending from the web and having a thickness in a second direction, orthogonal to the axis and angled relative to the first direction, of less than about 2 millimeters. The body at least partially covers the web and the at least one rib. The handle has a light transmissivity of greater than 40% through a portion of the handle at which the body covers the web and the at least one rib.

A hair comb is provided and comprises a base assembly, a comb teeth assembly, and a cover unit. The base assembly comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The comb teeth assembly is placed at the first surface of the base assembly. The cover unit is detachably mounted on the second surface. The cover unit comprises a third surface and a fourth surface opposite to each other. The third surface faces the second surface and the fourth surface is decorated by decorative patterns or figures.

A cosmetic applicator assembly includes a handle body having a proximal end, a distal end, a largest width or diameter of from 0.4 inches to 1.25 inches, and an exterior surface, an elevated feature disposed along the exterior surface and extending from 0.007 inches to 0.020 inches above the exterior surface, and a cosmetic applicator coupled to the distal end of the handle body and constructed to apply a cosmetic. The handle body includes a handle body material. The elevated feature include an elevated feature material, wherein the elevated feature material has a kinetic coefficient of friction of greater than or equal to 0.55 and a hardness of less than or equal to Shore A 70, and a hardness that is less than the hardness of the handle body material.

A swiveling brush for the application of fluid products, for example, a powdery product, a creamy product, a liquid product or the like. The swiveling brush comprising a gripping portion intended to be grasped by a hand of a user for the movement of the brush; and an housing seat formed on the gripping portion and intended to house an application body comprising, in turn, a plurality of spreading elements which are adapted to take and apply a fluid product on a work surface. The application body is associated with the housing seat by interposition of coupling structure/unit/component/device (or the like) configured to allow the rotation of the application body with respect to the gripping portion.

A pet bathing brush device for use in bathing an animal includes a shell that defines an interior space. A pipe is coupled to and extends from a first end of the shell and is in fluidic communication with the interior space. The pipe is engageable to a water inlet hose to allow water to flow into the interior space. A plurality of tubes is coupled to and extends from a second end of the shell. The tubes are open ended and in fluidic communication with the interior space. The tubes are used to comb hair of an animal while directing the water onto the hair and skin. A panel is coupled to the shell and defines a reservoir within the interior space. A liquid soap solution can be positioned in the reservoir and selectively dispensed into the water flowing through the interior space to lather the animal.

An oral care implement includes a head portion. The head portion includes one or more tooth cleaning elements. The oral care implement includes a handle portion that may be coupled to the head portion. The handle portion includes a central body having a proximal portion. The proximal portion may be opposite the head portion. The handle portion may include a first appendage extending laterally outwards from a first side of the central body in a first direction and a second appendage extending laterally outwards from a second side of the central body in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The first and second appendages may be angled towards each other to form an obtuse angle therebetween (e.g., when in an unstressed state). The proximal portion of the central body may protrude from a bottom end of the first and second appendages.

Various operational mode arrangements of an electric toothbrush (10) include pre-programming a controller portion (16) of the electric toothbrush such that a single brushing event of approximately two minutes comprises automatically at least two different operating modes and specified times for each mode. Another operational mode includes the capability of operating the on/off button (20) of the toothbrush within a specified short time following termination of a normal brushing event to provide the user a specified additional time, e.g. 30 seconds of toothbrush action. A special toothbrush interface arrangement includes a display (80) which encourages children to maintain brushing for the full brushing period. This is accomplished through sequential illustration of the progress of an article from an initial state to a final desired state as the toothbrush is used for increasing portions of a full brushing time period. In another embodiment, a toothbrush (120) includes a capability of adjusting the performance/operating characteristics in accordance with the age of a child user.

An implement having a base structure with a core component and a shell component that surrounds the core component. The core component may include a body formed of a rigid material and decorative elements embedded within the body. The shell component may be formed of a substantially transparent material so that the decorative elements of the core are visible through the shell component.

An oral care implement having a body that includes a head portion and a handle portion. At least one bristle is mounted to the head portion. The at least one bristle may include an oral care feature. The body may include a core component and a sheath component. The core component may include a structural feature that corresponds to or is representative of the oral care feature of the at least one bristle. The core component may be visible through the sheath component.

A toothbrush includes a removable, replaceable brush head that includes a clip that also serves as a removal tool for a spent brush head. The toothbrush may be a manually-wound or charged, powered toothbrush that includes a winding mechanism, an energy storage element, and an output gear train to cause a rotating, oscillating or sweeping brush head to move, thus improving the efficacy of the user's oral-care regimen.
