Patent number: 9474590Abstract: A brush section for use with an electric toothbrush includes a relatively large brush head portion having a generally rectangular shape, although oblong, elliptical and other such shapes having a length to width aspect ration greater than 1 may be employed. The brush head portion is secured to a shaft portion of the brush section that may be configured to couple to a handle section. The handle section may include an electric drive including drive shaft, and the drive shaft may couple to the brush head via a coupling member positioned within the shaft portion. The electric drive may impart a rotary, oscillating rotary-oscillating or other suitable drive motion to the drive shaft that is, in turn, imparted upon the brush head by virtue of the coupling member.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: BRAUN GMBHInventors: Mark Edward Farrell, Christopher Charles Blain, Phillip Maurice Braun

Patent number: 9446659Abstract: A chassis for an electric vehicle is disclosed that functions as a heat sink to cool an electric motor and motor controller of the electric vehicle. The chassis includes one or more tubes that are connected to an inner surface of the chassis. As coolant fluid flows through the tubes, heat from the coolant is dissipated into the chassis.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2016Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: Faster Faster Inc.Inventors: Christopher Charles Blain, Jeff Waldo Sand, Derek Albert Dorresteyn

Publication number: 20140230169Abstract: A brush section for use with an electric toothbrush includes a relatively large brush head portion having a generally rectangular shape, although oblong, elliptical and other such shapes having a length to width aspect ration greater than 1 may be employed. The brush head portion is secured to a shaft portion of the brush section that may be configured to couple to a handle section. The handle section may include an electric drive including drive shaft, and the drive shaft may couple to the brush head via a coupling member positioned within the shaft portion. The electric drive may impart a rotary, oscillating rotary-oscillating or other suitable drive motion to the drive shaft that is, in turn, imparted upon the brush head by virtue of the coupling member.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2014Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: Braun GmbH (a German Corporation)Inventors: Mark Edward Farrell, Christopher Charles Blain, Phillip Maurice Braun

Publication number: 20090007357Abstract: Oral hygiene implements, such as manual or electric toothbrushes or refills, include a head portion sized for insertion into a human mouth that includes a base and a plurality of elastomeric elements extending from the base to define a field of elastomeric bristles. The field can include a first elastomeric element that includes a first elastomeric material and a second elastomeric element different than the first elastomeric element that includes a second elastomeric material. The elastomeric elements extending from the base can define many “sharp,” yet compliant edges, such as those having a tip radius of less than about 0.006 inch, for enhanced cleaning with reduced abrasion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2008Publication date: January 8, 2009Applicant: The Gillette CompanyInventors: Mark Stephen Meadows, Alexander Timothy Chenvainu, Christopher Charles Blain, Thomas Aurele Christman, Karen Lynn Claire-Zimmet, Jose Tadeo DeCastro
