  • Patent number: 10149577
    Abstract: A motorized body cleansing apparatus includes a base plate detachably attachable to a support structure, rollers, a guide slide plate (GSP), a split cover plate, a motion transmission assembly, and a base member. The base plate includes guideways positioned on a front surface of the base plate for accommodating the rollers. Elongate guide projections extend from a rear surface of the GSP and slide on the rollers at the front surface of the base plate. The split cover plate secures the GSP to the base plate. The motion transmission assembly is positioned in a cavity of the base plate and is operably coupled to the GSP for moving the GSP upwards and downwards. The base member is detachably attached to a front surface of the GSP. The base member includes one or more cleansing members for cleansing a user's body part during the movement of the GSP upwards and downwards.

  • Patent number: 9474359
    Abstract: A body cleansing apparatus including a base member having one or more contoured profiles that conform to a user's body part, and multiple cleansing members is provided. The cleansing members are positioned and attached at multiple locations on the contoured profiles of the base member. Each of one or more of the cleansing members includes a stem and a cluster of flexible bristles. The stem is attached to and extends outwardly from the base member. The flexible bristles curvedly branch outwards from an upper end of the stem and define a reservoir within each cluster for storing, retaining, and releasing a cleansing agent along the flexible bristles when the user's body part contacts and applies pressure on the stem, thereby allowing the user to cleanse the body part. In an embodiment, the cleansing members also include single elongated flexible bristles attached to and extending outwardly from the base member.

  • Patent number: 6454133
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for discharging toothpaste from a toothpaste tube under control of a user. The apparatus includes a tube holder and a tube receptacle disposed within a first end of the tube holder and adapted to accept a cap end of the toothpaste tube. The apparatus further includes a set of nip rolls adapted to engage a body of the toothpaste tube and to urge toothpaste from a distal end of the toothpaste tube towards the cap end and a wheeled trolley coupled to the nip rolls on a first end and engaging a guide channel of the tube holder on a second end and adapted to maintain an alignment of the nip rolls with respect to a centerline of the tooth paste tube as the nip rolls travel along a longitudinal axis of the toothpaste tube from the distal end to the cap end.
