    Abstract: An electric toothbrush attachment includes a longitudinal body extending in a first direction substantially away from an attachment location for attaching the longitudinal body to an electric toothbrush drive unit and a brush connected to an end of the longitudinal body, the brush having bristles extending in a second direction substantially inopposite to the first direction. The longitudinal body transitions into a proximal end having a brush mount portion via a transition region between the longitudinal body and the proximal end. The transition region is formed as an angle of approximately 90° between the longitudinal body and the proximal end. The proximal end further includes a brush mount portion that is adapted to hold a brush.

  • Patent number: 4766635
    Abstract: A hand tool for forming the interior edge of a cementious surface. The tool which consists of a flat inflexible rectangular plate shaped such that shorter leading and trailing edge curve upward, and one of the longer edges has a central portion curving outward and downward, and with the length of the right and left non-curving portion of the edge being the same as the leading and trailing edges. With this configuration, the mason slides the tool along the edge of the cement surface and reaches an intersecting interior corner, the tool is lifted and run along the adjacent edge until corner is reached. The tool permits a mason less skilled in the mason art to execute the interior corners of a cementious surface without surface blemishes or groove marks.
