A toothbrush having a bristle head and handle wherein the bristle rows are curved from front to back and wherein the handle is both bowed and also curved in a direction opposite to the curve of the bristles enabling the brush head bristles to make direct contact with the teeth and gum lines simultaneously.

Household-type cleaning brush has a handle which is generally L-shaped. The inner edges and corners are curved in such manner as to fit the hand conveniently for many different uses. The exterior edges are straight except that the corner is rounded and provided with bristles which slant toward the corner. Bristles adjacent the corner are longer so that the outer ends of the bristles completely fill the outline of a right angle.

A toothbrush comprising a brush head and a handle, the brush head carrying three rows of bristle tufts which form a generally T-shaped pattern when viewed from above. A first and second row of tufts extend angularly toward each other and intersect in a plane which runs generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the brush. A cross row of tufts at the end of the brush head inclines toward the other tufts to from the T-pattern. The handle is specially contoured near the brush head to facilitate...

A snow removal device particularly adapted for use in quickly clearing heavy accumulations of snow from various portions of a vehicle such as windows, engine hoods, roofs and trunk lids and the like. The snow removal device comprises a housing having an integrally formed handle portion from which an extremely large number of relatively long stiff bristles extend. The housing is also provided with a scraper blade which may be either integrally formed therewith or separately manufactured and secur...

A pair of opposed bail stay members are frictionally mounted to the horizontal bar of a T-bar bail, with the stay members engaging the bail stud. The resultant assembly is inserted up through the central slot of the sweeper top and held in position by friction. The opposed stay members seal the top against penetration of dirt into the sweeper mechanism. The outer ends of the horizontal bail bar are received within slots formed in the end partitions of the sweeper sub-frame. The bail bar ends pre...

A handle for a roller applicator. The handle is of heavy rod stock which, for the purpose of this invention, is substantially rigid. The rod is bent so that the roller may be operated with the axis of the roller vertical at locations above or below the locations which may ordinarily be painted with horizontal strokes by a person standing on the floor or ground. The longitudinal axis of the grip portion of the handle is skewed to the rotational axis of the roller at an angle in the order of 30.de...

A hair grooming brush having a body from which a mirror and handle are extended in perpendicular relationship to each other upon actuation of a release button. The mirror and handle are retained retracted within cavities formed in the brush body by latches and are projected to the extended positions under the bias of springs.

A golf club head brush (10) for cleaning a golf club head (38) comprises a relatively flat, generally-rectangular, handle (11) having opposite brush and non-brush sides (12,14) bounded by shaft, head, thumb and finger edges (26, 27, 18, 22), with brush bristles (28) mounted on the brush side directed outwardly away from the handle. The handle is constructed of a resilient material so as to be bendable. The brush and non-brush sides have the generally-rectangular shape, but include a thumb protru...

A toothbrush employing a force indicator which visually and tactually signals the user that a predetermined brushing force has been exceeded. The force indicator is comprised of a resilient twin beam structure located between the toothbrush handle and the toothbrush head which includes a scrubbing or polishing medium, typically bristles. The twin beam structure is itself comprised of a back side beam and a face side beam. During normal use, the back side beam is subjected to compressive stress w...

An improved toothbrush (10) includes an elongated handle (12) having a proximal end (14) and a distal end (16), and a longitudinal axis (18) extending therebetween. A head (20) is attached to the distal end of the handle and has a top surface (24) and bottom surface (34). A plurality of bristle tufts (22) are attached to the top surface of the head. The handle has a transverse cross section adjacent the proximal end in the shape of a trapezoid that has a bottom edge, a top edge, and side edges e...
