Patent number: 7070354Abstract: A hand-operable toothbrush for selectively dispensing dentifrice that includes a proximal section defining a reservoir and a distal section defining a bristle section including a mechanism for engaging the proximal section. The bristle section includes a head portion including a plurality of spaced bristles and a power mechanism for vibrating same. The toothbrush also includes a dispensing mechanism for manually adjusting a volume of the reservoir and thereby causing dentifrice to dissipate outwardly from the reservoir and head portion as needed. The dispensing mechanism includes a gasket engaged with the distal section and a snap ring positioned within the reservoir. The dispensing mechanism and the power mechanism are independently operable.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2004Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Inventor: Gustavo Gutierrez-Caro

Patent number: 7051642Abstract: The liquid container includes a body for having a tank portion housing a liquid, and having a supply port on a tip end side, a piston for moving forward inside the tank portion, a piston rod connected with the piston and extending rearward, a manipulating cylinder rotatably mounted to a rear portion of the body, and a rotation stopping cylinder unrotatably disposed in a rear inner portion of the body. A conversion mechanism for converting relative rotation between the manipulating cylinder and the body into movement of the piston rod in an axial direction with respect to the body is provided between the manipulating cylinder and the rotation stopping cylinder, and a rotating direction restricting mechanism for restricting the rotating direction of the manipulating cylinder and the body to one direction is provided.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2004Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Kotobuki Printing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hidehei Kageyama

Patent number: 7044673Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a cartridge type applicator which can prevent the application liquid from flowing back from the applying portion into the cartridge and which is suitable for use with a high viscosity application liquid. This applicator includes an advancing mechanism or piston mechanism made up of a sealing plug disposed inside a cylindrical cartridge tank for constituting the rear end wall of the tank, and a rod member attached to the sealing plug for causing the sealing plug to move in the axial direction of the tank; and an actuator (actuating member) for causing the rod member to move or advance in the axial direction by rotation thereof, and is constructed such that, when the actuator is turned, the rod member causes the sealing plug to move in the axial direction so as to reduce the volume of the space inside the tank.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2003Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Mitsubishi Pencil Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Mitsuru Endou

Patent number: 6981811Abstract: An improved lip product applicator for applying a pasty or semi soft lip product to a user's lips comprising a body is described. The body has a product reservoir extending therefrom. The product reservoir is generally hollow and has a tip extending from an end of the reservoir opposite the body. The reservoir has a means for discharging product contained therein through an orifice in said tip. The tip is made of a clear material that permits the user to view the color of the product contained therein. The tip is also tapered and retains its tapered shape as lip product is applied to a user's lips.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2003Date of Patent: January 3, 2006Inventors: Diane C. Breidenbach, Laurence W. Mille

Patent number: RE41300Abstract: It becomes possible for the rotational force generated by an operating member (12, ) to be transmitted to a cylindrical movable body (13) by means of a shaft member (62) inserted slidably in the longitudinal direction in a non-rotatable fashion, inside the movable body (13), and moreover, the shaft member (62) becomes able to pass inside the movable body (13) by penetrating through the inner side of the ratchet spring section (81), a composition being adopted wherein the shaft member (62) passes through the female screw thread (11a) of the main body (11) which screws together with the male screw thread (13a) of the movable body (13).Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2006Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Tokiwa CorporationInventor: Yoshikazu Tani
