Abstract: A recyclable composite zipper bag and a method for producing the same are provided. At least two side edges of two composite films are bonded by heat seal to form the bag body of the recyclable composite zipper bag. Each composite film includes an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer is a BOPE film and the inner layer is a PCR PE film. The outer layer and the inner layer are combined with each other. The composite film made of BOPE and PCR PE can increase impact and puncture resistance of the recyclable composite zipper bag and favor to recycle and reuse. In the method for producing a recyclable composite zipper bag, the composite films are bonded by heat seal at a temperature of 120-130° C. in order to effectively avoid wrinkling, thereby improving the yield of products.

Abstract: A toothbrush head includes a fixture and a compressing sleeve. The fixture includes a first end and a second end. The first end is provided with a protrusion fastened with the brush head. The second end splits to form a gap that extends toward the first end. The gap has a fastening space fastened with the driving shaft of an electric toothbrush. The compressing sleeve sleeves the outside of the fixture to shrink the gap. The fixture is fastened with the metal driving shafts with various shapes or sizes of electric toothbrushes. As long as the compressing sleeve sleeves the outside of the fixture, the fixture is not loosed. Thus, the toothbrush head is suitable for electric toothbrushes of many brands.

Abstract: An electrically driven toothbrush is provided, comprising a hollow handle having a first end provided with a tooth brushing portion and a second end provided with an opening. An electrical assembly module is inserted into the hollow handle through the opening and provides power to turn on the toothbrush. A conductive elastic piece is fitted with the electrical assembly module and contacts with an electrical fixture. A cap member is removably attached to the hollow handle for encapsulation. At least one trigger portion is provided on one side of the cap member. When the trigger portion contacts with the conductive elastic piece, the conductive elastic piece deforms and touches with the electrical fixture to form an electrical loop with the electrical assembly module to generate power for turning on the proposed toothbrush. By designing above, it successfully achieves purposes of improving and enhancing the conveniences of use for users.

Abstract: A toothbrush cover includes a shell body having a first opening formed on an end thereof and configured to provide a toothbrush to mount into the shell body therethrough; a press strip disposed on a top of the shell body and having an end disposed on an upper edge of the first opening, and other end extended and drooped downwardly into the shell body and configured to hold down the toothbrush. When the toothbrush is covered by the toothbrush cover, a brush handle of the toothbrush faces the top of the shell body and upwardly pushes the drooped press strip, so that a downward force of the press strip can hold down the toothbrush to fasten a brush head of the toothbrush in the shell body, thereby preventing bristles of the toothbrush from separating out of the toothbrush cover and being dirtied.
