The mounting portion is accommodated in the first accommodating cavity and capable of sliding in an axial direction of the first accommodating cavity. The disinfection portion is arranged in the first accommodating cavity and performs disinfection in the first accommodating cavity after the first opening portion is closed.

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.

Proposed is a mouthpiece-type electric toothbrush. The mouthpiece-type electric toothbrush includes a toothbrush body a first tooth insertion groove in which the upper teeth of a user are inserted and a second tooth insertion groove in which the lower teeth are inserted. The toothbrush body has a plurality of bristles having different lengths and formed in the first tooth insertion groove and the second tooth insertion groove in accordance with a tooth mold patterned after a row of teeth of the user.

A make-up brush system includes an elongated mandrel shaped and dimensioned for handling by a make-up artist including a first end and a second end. The first end includes a gripping surface for engagement with a hand of a make-up artist and the second end being shaped and dimensioned for selective engagement with a plurality of make-up brushes. The make-up brush system also includes a plurality of make-up brushes. Each of the plurality of make-up brushes include a first end and a second end. The first end includes a functional component of the make-up brush and the second end includes a coupling member shaped and dimensioned for selective engagement with the second end of the mandrel. A case both supports and sanitizes the various components of the present invention. The case includes a tray supporting the plurality of make-up brushes in accessible positions within the case.

A bristle ring diffuser for diffusing UV light is described herein. In one example, the radiation diffuser cone comprises a base and a plurality of bristles. The base has an interface which is coupleable to an object having an ultraviolet (UV) light source. The base also has an aperture which aligns with the UV light source when the interface is coupled to the UV light source. The plurality of bristles is arranged about the aperture and extend from the base. The plurality of bristles is opaque to UV light and is angled away from a central axis of the aperture.

A method and apparatus for washing and sanitizing elongate rotary brushes used for cleaning fruit, produce, and other food products includes revolving the brushes along a travel path about a housing (14) and simultaneously spinning the rotary brushes about their individual longitudinal axis (18), applying a cleaning solution to the spinning rotary brushes in a cleaning zone of the housing, then applying a spray to the spinning rotary brushes in a spray zone of the housing.

A toothbrush sanitizing device is provided. The device includes a container having a base, a perimeter wall, and an open upper end defining an interior volume. A lid is removably securable over the open upper end of the container. An elongated connecting rod is connected to the interior face of the lid. A draining base is secured to a distal end of the elongated connecting rod. The elongated connecting rod includes one or more connectors that contour to and support the head of a toothbrush. The elongated connecting rod further includes one or more fasteners that receive and support the handle of the toothbrush. In operation, the container may be filled with a safe cleaning solution and a toothbrush secured to the elongated connecting rod. When the lid is secured to the container, the toothbrush will be submersed in the safe cleaning solution for cleaning.

A magnetically levitating sterilizing toothbrush holder with associated toothbrush comprises a holder generating a magnetic field and a toothbrush comprising a magnetic or ferromagnetic element. The holder and toothbrush are so configured that, when the toothbrush is placed in the holder, the force of gravity acting on the toothbrush is balanced in opposition to the magnetic force resulting from the interaction of the toothbrush's magnetic element with the holder's magnetic field, resulting in magnetic levitation of the toothbrush within the holder, thereby suspending the brush from all potentially contaminating surfaces. The holder further comprises a sterilizing ultraviolet light source, whereby the operational end of the toothbrush with its bristles is bathed in sterilizing radiation when the brush is suspended in the holder.

The invention discloses a disinfecting toothbrush box, which comprises a housing, wherein a toothbrush hanging rack space and a toothpaste squeezer space are arranged in the housing; a toothbrush hanging rack is arranged in the toothbrush hanging rack space, a toothpaste squeezer is arranged in the toothpaste squeezer space, an ultraviolet disinfection lamp is arranged in the toothbrush hanging rack space, and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp is arranged at the position capable of irradiating a toothpaste tube opening in the toothpaste squeezer space. The disinfecting toothbrush box has the advantage that the toothpaste tube opening can be sterilized while the toothbrush is disinfected.

A handle for an oral-care implement, the handle comprises an electrical motor arranged to drive an output element structured and configured to couple the handle and a head attachable to and detachable from the handle; and a microcontroller for controlling the motor and to cause the output element to vibrate in (a) at least one oral-hygiene mode during which the oral-care implement is being used for an oral-hygiene routine, wherein the output element is vibrating at a substantially constant frequency, and (b) a disinfection mode during which the handle is being disinfected, before or after being used for the oral-hygiene routine, wherein the output element is continuously vibrating at a modulated frequency alternating within a frequency range of between about 140 Hz and about 250 Hz, for a duration of the disinfection mode.
