Abstract: A braking apparatus for stopping a children's kick scooter is described. The braking apparatus comprises a hand-held remote control to transmit a command signal when a radio-frequency (RF) signal transmitter is activated. The braking apparatus also comprises a remote control signal receiver located on the children's kick scooter to receive the command signal and convert it to an electric current. The braking apparatus additionally comprises a linear actuator to receive the electric current. The linear actuator comprises a linear actuator electric motor and a linear actuator shaft. The linear actuator electric motor is activated by the electric current and moves the linear actuator shaft from a first position to a second position. The braking apparatus further comprises a brake system to press a metal plate against a rear wheel of the children's kick scooter, thereby stopping the children's kick scooter when the linear actuator shaft is in the second position.

Abstract: In an embodiment of the disclosed technology, a toothbrush head formed of a bristled tread is rotatable about at least one vertically disposed sprocket. The toothbrush head has an elongated neck with sprockets extending axially therefrom. Bristles are wrapped around either or both sprockets. The bristles may be on a single belt wrapped around both sprockets. Alternatively, the bristles may extend from two spindles, each fitted around a sprocket. The sprockets rotate circumferentially within an upper head portion of the device. The bristles spin 360 degrees (full rotation) around the sprockets and within the stationary head. The head portion itself is replaceable or changeable, such that a handle portion may be used by multiple users or replaced.
