Buffing of a footwear component allows for an alteration of the component surface to achieve an intended surface for aesthetics and/or manufacturing purposes. The buffing is performed in a system having a vision module, a sidewall buffing module, an up surface buffing module, and a down surface buffing module. Each of the buffing modules are adapted for the unique shape and sizes of a footwear component to effectively and automatically buff the footwear component.

A hair brush configured to apply a hair fastener to a bundle of hair includes a housing having a handle portion and a brush portion. The hair brush also has an actuator that is coupled to the housing and a hair fastener applicator mechanism that is coupled to the housing and to the actuator such that operation of the actuator causes the hair fastener applicator mechanism to move between an open position in which the hair fastener is held in an elongated state that can receive the bundle of hair and a closed position in which the hair fastener is wrapped and secured around the bundle of hair.

The present invention relates to a modular brush, with improved structure so that modular brush heads of various grades stored inside the storage compartment in the handle, are automatically exposed outwardly from the storage compartment, in connection with the cover opening movement. Thus, anybody can easily interchange one modular brush head with another. In particular, the modular brush is comprised mainly of a handle (10), cover (20), brush head portions (30), mounting portions (40), and lifting portions (50), so that by simple operation, the brush bristles in a gathered state retract into the ferrule tube of the brushhead for protection when not in use.

An applicator device for applying a fluid to an object has a hollow body, an applicator, a sensor, and a notification system. The hollow body stores the fluid therein. The applicator discharges the fluid. The sensor is configured to detect a fluid surface of the fluid. The notification system is configured to generate a notification signal based on a detection signal from the sensor.

A treatment module for a laundry treatment device includes a number of treatment brushes, which are each intended for contact with a laundry item to be treated. In order to organize a smoothing process in the most optimum possible way, each two treatment brushes form at least one pair and are disposed in a treatment position relative to one another or are able to be disposed in the treatment position, in which the treatment brushes of the at least one pair lie opposite one another so that, upon positioning of a laundry item between the treatment brushes of the at least one pair, they are in contact with both sides of the laundry item.

An apparatus for collecting hair and other bodily particles using static electricity. Preferably the apparatus comprises a base, a cylinder disposed on the base capable of holding a static electrical charge, a brush disposed on the base such that its bristles are in electrostatic contact with the cylinder, and a cylinder rotation device capable of rotating the cylinder against the brush. Various embodiments of the apparatus include various: numbers, orientations and shapes of brushes; securing devices; types of motors; vacuum ports; mats; and containers.

A gynecological cervical or vaginal sample removal instrument has, at the cranial end, a plurality of brushes that are fixed to a wire assembly extending in the axial direction. The brushes are made of at least 600 plastic filaments with a diameter between 350 μm and 900 μm and an axial line density of at least 600 filaments over a maximum axial extension of 3 cm.
