An adjustable tool holder is configured for interchangeable use with a variety of tools provided with different connection elements. The connection elements include at least a first connection element configured for a first manner of connection with the tool holder and a second connection element configured for a second manner of connection with the tool holder. The tool holder includes a distally extending tool support operable to detachably support each of the tools. The tool support includes a first tool connector configured to releasably connect with the first connection element in the first manner of connection. The tool support includes a second tool connector configured to releasably connect with the second connection element in the second manner of connection.

A loose hair collection device that attaches to the shower wall for collecting lost hair while a person with long hair takes a shower. The device includes a pair of bristle pads that can be selectively disposed in a side-by-side (vertical) position, in an shelf (“L”) position, or in a face-to-face (“U”) position. A flex connector restrains the bristle pads in these positions without additional support. The face-to-face position facilitates collection of loose hair, the shelf positions provides a soap holder, while the side-by-side position facilitates cleaning of the collected loose hair from the device. The device may also include a water-tight pouch for holding a mobile device, or a speaker (and display screen if desired) and Bluetooth capability for wirelessly connecting to a mobile device locate outside the shower.

A brush system utilizable with a floor-cleaning machine includes brush head, a coupler, and a riser, wherein the coupler is a flexible coupler for adjusting the position of the riser relative to the brush head. The brush head essentially comprises a bristled pad that may be peeled off a floor machine pad driver.

A broom has a rigid backing plate having a rectangular cross section, an overall length, an upper surface and an undersurface, the backing plate having two straight regions connected by a curved region, a bristle unit comprising an elastic and flexible backing having a rectangular cross section with a width and length the same as the backing plate, an upper surface and an undersurface, with bristles extending orthogonally from all of the undersurface of the bristle unit, providing a brushing surface at the end of the bristles away from the backing plate, and a handle connected by a connector mechanism to a point on the upper surface of the shaped rigid backing plate. The upper surface of the bristle unit is joined to the undersurface of the backing plate by an adhesive along the full length of the undersurface of the backing plate.

A composite safety toothbrush is disclosed. The toothbrush apparatus detailed herein employs a composite head made from a rigid inner polymer material and a softer thermoplastic material surrounding the inner material. The softer material provides safety for prison toothbrush applications as well as elderly and patient care where care givers may brush the teeth of a patient. Innovative pin connectors in the inner toothbrush head assist in the composite formation. The toothbrush solution herein further importantly provides for a toothbrush having a flexible handle.

The present invention is concerned with an electric utility brush having a flexible drive shaft, and in particular an electric toothbrush having a substantially spherical head mounted on the flexible drive shaft and which can be driven rotationally in at least two different orientations in order to provide comprehensive brushing capabilities.

A toothbrush apparatus including a handle, and attached first and second U-shaped members, each having first and second sections which are substantially parallel to each other and a third section which is substantially perpendicular to the first and second sections of the respective U-shaped member, which connects the first and second sections of the respective U-shaped member together. The second U-shaped member is attached to the handle, so that the U-shape of the first U-shaped member faces in a substantially opposite direction from the U-shape of the second U-shaped member; and wherein a plurality of toothbrush bristles project from each of the first, second, and third sections of the first and second U-shaped members. One or more channels may be located in the handle, permitting a liquid to flow through at least part of the handle and into an area enclosed by the sections of the respective U-shaped members.

A toothbrush, including a head, a handle, and a first rotating structure, and the head has a rotation axis (C1) extending in a length direction; the first rotating structure includes a rotating member connected to the head and a connecting member connected to the handle, the surface of the connecting member facing the head (20) is provided with an insertion groove extending along the rotation axis (C1), and the end of the rotating member facing away from the head is inserted into the insertion groove and is rotatably connected to the connecting member; the rotating member is provided with a first snap-fit member, and the connecting member is provided with a second snap-fit member; and when there are first snap-fit members and/or second snap-fit members, any one of the first snap-fit members can pass over each second snap-fit member in sequence while rotating along with the rotating member.

Cleaning devices are provided that have a surface with areas that provide different cleaning states. The areas of different cleaning states are connected to one another by a deflection member that provides tactile and/or audible feedback to the user when transitioning between the different cleaning states.
