T- Shaped Brush Head Assembly
A T-shaped brush head assembly for cleaning hard to reach surfaces includes a brush head, which in turn comprises a housing and a plurality of bristles. The bristles are attached to and extend from the housing. A first set of the bristles and a second set of the bristles are positioned proximate to a first end and a second end of the housing, respectively. The first set of the bristles is volumetrically larger than the second set of the bristles so that the brush head is substantially T-shaped. A user can grasp a handle, which is attached to and which extends from the second end of the housing, to manipulate the brush head to clean a surface.
DOUBLE-ENDED ORAL CARE DEVICE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE SNAP-ON FLOSSERS AND DISPOSABLE IMPLEMENTS
A multiple purpose oral care device is provided. The device comprises a two-ended manual tool with ergonomically shaped handle and attachment components located at least at a first end to accommodate semi-circular snap-on flossers. The device also comprises disposable implements for dental and gum care that attach to the snap-on flossers and comprise optional structures. The disposable implements comprise at least one of brushes and gum stimulators and are situated at ends of the snap-on flossers. A first optional structure combines a snap-on flosser and two parallel inter-proximal brushes, one on each end of the flosser. The first optional structure is directed to orthodontic patients with braces and patients with fixed restorations comprising at least one of crowns and bridges. A second optional structure comprises two gum stimulators, one with each attached on opposite sides of the snap-on flosser, pointing inward to each other and parallel to floss.
PAINT BRUSH HANDLE WITH INTEGRATED GRIP PADS
A paint brush having a handle that includes integrated grip pad(s) that enhance the comfort or ergonomics of the paint brush design. The paint brush includes a handle and bristles operatively attached to the handle. The handle includes a major portion and grip pad(s) integrated with the major portion. The major portion of the paint brush handle may be made of a first material and the grip pad(s) may be made of a second material different from the first. The first material may have a greater elastic modulus or flexural modulus than the second material. The major portion of the handle includes pockets on opposite sides of the handle, and at least one through-hole extending between the pockets. Grip pad(s) may be over-molded into the pocket(s), which includes depositing a material of the grip pads into the pocket(s), resulting in a unitary structure of grip material extending through the through-hole(s).
ORAL HYGIENE DEVICE
An oral hygiene device, in particular a toothbrush, includes at least one application unit and includes at least one handle unit which is connected to the application unit and which has at least one material volume body, wherein the handle unit includes at least one essential hollow-space structure, which is at least substantially delimited by the material volume body and which extends at least over a substantial portion of a main extent of the at least one handle unit.
Personal Care Implement
A personal care implement that uses less plastic by removing material from a handle of the oral care implement while maintaining a comfortable grip which is similar to a normal grip that a user associates with a personal care implement. That is, the handle has a recess in a rear surface thereof, such that the handle or a portion thereof has a U-shaped transverse cross-sectional area. Portions of the handle may be covered with an elastomeric material to increase gripability and comfort. The handle may also include various rib structures elongated along the recess to increase the strength of the handle so that it does not significantly deform during normal use.

TISSUE CONTACTING DEVICE FOR ORAL AND OTHER MEDICAL PROCEDURES
A system for laser-based medical use and laser-based oral surgery. The system includes an elongate handle having a proximal end and a distal end; a (e.g., disposable, selectively removable) functional element disposed at the distal end of the elongate handle; and an integral, soft coating material formed about, so as to cover, the functional element and the distal end of the elongate handle. In some implementations, the elongate handle includes a rigid (e.g., polycarbonate) portion and a soft (e.g., thermoplastic elastomer) portion for improving a user's grip of the elongate handle.
INTERDENTAL BRUSH AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR THE SAME
An interdental brush of the present disclosure includes a base part including a handle part that is grippable by a user, and a core part extending from the handle part and having a diameter or thickness that decreases as a distance from the handle part increases, and a soft part including an anti-slip part covering at least a part of the handle part, and an interdental cleaning part covering the core part and including a plurality of projections for removing foreign substances between teeth, the soft part being formed of an elastic material. The base part includes a plurality of through holes disposed to be spaced apart from each other in a longitudinal direction, and the soft part is provided in a space formed by at least one of the plurality of through holes.
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.
HAIRBRUSH WITH REMOVEABLE HEAD
A hairbrush system having a removeable head and a pump configured to eject styling product onto hair is provided. Generally, the system and methods of the present disclosure are designed to minimize the number of hands and/or styling accessories required perform certain styling tasks so that said styling tasks become more efficient and easier for a user to perform. The system generally comprises a hairbrush handle and a removeable head. The hairbrush handle comprises a main grip, pump, nozzle, switch, male connector, bottom cap, and reservoir. The removeable head comprises top section, bottom section, main core, female connector, and a plurality of bristles. The male connector can quickly detach from the female connector, which will eject the removeable head from the hairbrush handle.
