Abstract:
A contour-adjustable toothbrush is a device that provides a more thorough brushing experience while eliminating the need to remove the device from the mouth during brushing. A first brushing assembly and a second brushing assembly are slidably engaged into a housing handle that may be grasped by the user. The first brushing assembly and the second brushing assembly each include a flexible brush head with a concave surface. The concave surface of the first brushing assembly is oriented away from the concave surface of the second brushing assembly, enabling the first brushing assembly and the second brushing assembly to clean the upper teeth and lower teeth simultaneously. The first brushing assembly and the second brushing assembly are independently adjustable in order to adjust the length of the device. An electronic variant of the device includes a power supply and at least one actuator.
Abstract:
A device for treating a target, such as cleaning a window. The device has a handle and head, mounted in pivotal relationship to each other. When the head is placed in sliding, contacting relationship with the target surface the handle can pivot relative to the head for the ergonomic convenience of the user.

Abstract:
A pie dough cutter comprising a removably attachable handle providing decorative patterns to be added to the top of a pie crust is herein disclosed. The dough cutter comprises different designs for stamping a portion of crust providing decorative elements. After a pie crust is prepared a desired decorative pattern is pressed through the dough, which is then placed onto a pie prior to baking.
Abstract:
A cleaning implement that includes a connector for connecting a handle to a base block. The connector prevents the handle from rotating relative to the base block and, thus, the connector prevents the handle from unscrewing or otherwise loosening or disconnecting from the base block. The base block can include a headpiece supported between oppositely arranged shoulders, a generally cylindrical flange projecting from the headpiece, and a generally cylindrical opening extending through the cylindrical flange. A slot may be formed in an inner surface of the cylindrical flange. A ferrule that can have a generally dovetail-shaped projection provided on its outer surface can be secured to an end of the handle. The projection and the slot can form a joint when the handle is connected to the base block. This joint substantially prevents the handle from rotating relative to the base block.
Abstract:
An extendible extension handle that can be used with wrenches, ratchets, tire iron and such to permit the user to increase the leverage applied to the tool. The inner handle assembly is the base to engage the handle at one end and the tools at the opposite end. The tool end of the inner handle assembly has first and second openings in it's upper base to engage the handle portion and closed end portion of wrenches and an opening on bottom base to engage opening end wrenches. The inner handle assembly being tubular in structure allows for ratchets, tire iron and such to easily be inserted into the base. It fits around the inner handle assembly tool end and has a opening down it's shaft to engage the wrench. Once the wrench has been engage the stabilizer can be a align to a locking position which will allow the user to adjust the tension on the stabilizer clamping mechanism. The stabilizer assembly mobility is limited to a circular rotation by fixed bushings attached to the inner handle assembly. The outer handle assembly is telescoped with a L shape groove down portion of it's length and a latching mechanism for various adjustments.
Abstract:
An elongated dovetail tongue on the top surface of the trowel blade slips endwise into a closely conforming groove formed in the base of the removable handle until its end abuts a shoulder at the end of the groove. The tongue is longer than the groove, and a keeper is adapted to slip onto and abut the end of the tongue protruding from the groove. A boss on the end of a resilient arm extending from the keeper engages a detent in the base, locking the keeper to the handle, immobilizing the tongue, and thereby securing the handle to the blade. Disengaging the detent mechanism releases the keeper and allows it to be removed and the handle readily separated from the blade. In the preferred embodiment, the tongue comprises a pair of upwardly divergent flanges attached to the top surface of the blade, and the groove is defined by the downwardly convergent walls of a channel formed in the underside of the base,
Abstract:
A device for cleaning debris from a target surface. The device has a sole plate with permanent cleaning material, such as bristles, and a removable/replaceable pad. The device also has a replaceable, on-board supply of cleaning solution. The pad/cleaning solution may be replaced when depleted and replaced with a new pad/cleaning solution or may simply be replaced with a new pad/cleaning solution when that pad/cleaning solution is more suitable for a particular cleaning task.
Abstract:
A tool system is disclosed having a body including a handle extending therefrom, a detachable head including a working tool, and a multi-part connector for detachable connecting the head to the body, the connector including opposed, flexible members positioned on the body towards an end of the body and means on the head for connecting with the opposed flexible members, the opposed flexible members and the means for connecting with the flexible members working in concert to detachably secure the head to the body. The handle of the tool system can be offset with respect to the axis of the body and the detachable head.
