Abstract: A toothbrush comprising at one of its ends, a handle, and at its other end, a head carrying bristles on one of its sides. A stainless steel cladding covers the head and the handle. As a variation, the head and handle can be made of stainless steel with a plastic plate attached to the head and carrying bristles. As an option, a tongue scraper can be incorporated at the tail end of the handle. As yet another variation the handle can carry a thermochromic material to provide a measure of temperature or to display an image or a text message.

Abstract: A toothbrush comprising at one of its ends, a handle, and also comprising, at its other end, a head carrying bristles on one of its side, and a stainless steel cladding on its other side. As a variation, the cladding can be extended to cover the handle. As yet another variation, the head and handle can be made of stainless steel with a plastic plate attached to the head and carrying bristles. As an option, a tongue scraper can be incorporated at the tail end of the handle.

Abstract: A punch device for punching parallel slots in sheets to facilitate the mounting of card-like objects on sheets. The device comprises a male plate on which at least one pair of cutting projections are mounted. The device also comprises a female plate moveably hinged to the male plate through which rectangular slots are formed, each slot being so positioned as to correspondingly face one of the cutting projections in the male plate. The hinge assembly comprises an axle part and a swivel part. The axle part comprises cams and the swivel part comprises grooves. The cams are positioned to penetrate the grooves and wrap around over an angle less than the whole circumference of the axle part.

Abstract: A punch device for punching parallel slots in sheets so that card-like objects can be mounted on sheet. The device comprises a male plate on which at least one pair of projections are mounted, each member of the pair diagonally placed on the male plate, and separated from each other by a distance slightly smaller than the diagonal of the card-like object to be mounted. The device also comprises a female plate moveably hinged to the male plate by means of a hinge assembly, through which rectangular slots are formed each slot being so positioned as to correspondingly face one of said cutting projections in the male plate when the punch device is closed thereby ensuring that the projections penetrate the slots. The punch device also includes a hinge assembly comprising an axle part and a swivel part. The axle part comprises cams and the swivel part comprises grooves.
