Abstract: According to this new method, working out occurs by resisting forced movement. The user can vary the amount of effort exerted in resisting the forced movement while having full control of the machine. Variance may be total submission to the forced movement, partial dependence on the machine to accomplish the cycle or complete resistance to the movement. This machine shall be programmed and controlled by the user through an interface operable with one hand. A user shall be able to program options like time of exercise, angle limits, force of movement, sectional articulation, and speed of movement. Other embodiments of this invention will become clear to those familiar with this form of art upon exposure to this new method.

Abstract: A toothbrush with removable brushing members includes a handle, a brush head extending from the handle, and a first brushing member of soft wood. The brush head includes a bottom surface and a body together defining a cavity for receiving the first brushing member. The brush head further includes an anchoring member extending partially around the inside perimeter of the body except at a first end of the inside perimeter of the body. The first brushing member is inserted into the cavity at the first end and is slid along the cavity into the anchoring member. The anchoring member compresses against and bites into the sides of the first brushing member to secure the first brushing member in the cavity. The toothbrush can include multiple brushing members. In one embodiment, the brushing members are stubs made of siwak sticks so that effective dental cleaning can be carried out using siwak.

Abstract: A toothbrush with removable brushing members includes a handle, a brush head extending from the handle, and one or more brushing members. The brush head includes a bottom surface and a body together defining a cavity for receiving one or more brushing members. The brush head further includes an anchoring member extending partially around the inside perimeter of the body. The brushing members are placed against the bottom surface and are anchored in the cavity by the anchoring member. In one embodiment, the brushing members are stubs made of sywack. A sywack stick can be cut into stubs of a desired height and assembled into the toothbrush of the present invention so that effective dental cleaning can be carried out using sywack.
