Abstract: The present invention is a multifunctional electronic light emitting removable grip sleeve for a paintbrush. A paintbrush is to be inserted into an encasement to improve handling and control over the paintbrush. The encasement is ergonomic and smoothly contours to the hand of a painter or user. Within the encasement are two elastic walls that can be tapered to allow the handle of a paintbrush to become lodged as it is inserted. Atop the encasement is a plurality of illuminating sources, preferably LED's, which are used to direct light onto a painted surface. Additionally, a multitude of electronic components can be installed into the present invention in increase productivity and provide convenience for the painter. For example, Bluetooth technology can be implemented into the encasement, similar to cellular phones, along with a radio scanner, a stereo system, and a USB port. Painting is facilitated by using the present invention.

Abstract: A toothbrush with improved cleaning after use and integral tongue cleaning features. Multiple groups of brush bristles are positioned around a plurality of cleaning openings that extend through the head of the brush head. Multiple upstanding tongue engagement surfaces are positioned in parallel spaced relation to one another between the flow through cleaning openings for selective engagement on the surface of the user's tongue.

Abstract: A toothbrush includes a handle and a head. The head is in the form of a peripheral frame having an open central area. A plurality of cleaning element carrying support members are mounted across the frame over the open central area to form an open lattice pattern having through holes to facilitate the cleaning of the head. The cleaning elements are bristles laser welded to the support members.

Abstract: A drip-reducing paint brush having a hollow handle and a flared perimeter around the area where the paint applying element is attached to the brush so that excess paint from a pad or bristle bundle flows into the interior of the handle where it is contained rather than over the outside of the handle where it poses a problem to the user. An auxiliary containment device may be threadedly attached to the hollow handle.

Abstract: A cleaning device for attachment to a water faucet, comprising a housing element having a top portion and a bottom portion, the top portion being threaded for operable engagement with a water faucet, and the bottom portion having an opening therein, aperture is positioned in the housing element allowing th flow of water through the housing element. A plurality of cleaning bristles are positioned around or about the opening of the bottom portion of the housing element for cleaning fingernails, hands, razors, toothbrushes and the like.

Abstract: A dispenser includes a brush fixed to a powder reservoir having a tuft of hair and a tuft holder provided with a first powder supply orifice. The reservoir is closed by a shutter in which a second powder supply orifice is formed, and that can be turned manually with respect to the tuft holder to align the first and second orifices. The shutter of the reservoir includes a central duct with a bottom in which the second orifice is formed. The tuft holder has a lower tubular part with a bottom wherein the said first orifice cooperates with the central duct to provide axial securement and free rotation, an upper tubular part fitting tightly around the said tuft and a said first skirt. The dispenser includes a guide that has an axial displacement tab, the lower end of which supports a radial pin, and the central duct carries a helical ramp on its outer surface that cooperates with the pin such that rotation of the guide causes an axial movement of the guide.

Abstract: The pressure sensing system includes a hinged member that is fixedly attached to a brushhead body. An arm member is attached at one end to said hinged member and pivots about a hinge portion of the hinged invention. The pivoting arm member and the brushhead member nestle within the toothbrush body. The brushhead member includes a striking element portion that extends away from a rear surface of the brushhead. Mounted on the toothbrush body beneath the brushhead member is a collapsible, recoverable dome member, which provides an alarm indication by collapsing when excessive pressure is applied by the user on the brushhead against the teeth.
