    摘要: The present disclosure includes embodiments directed to an oral irrigator assembly. The oral irrigator assembly may include a base including a pressure assembly, a fluid reservoir removably coupled to the base, an oral irrigator handle fluidly coupled to the fluid reservoir and the pressure assembly, and a control assembly including a push button at least partially surrounded by a knob. The oral irrigator handle may be adjustably coupled to the base via a magnetic attachment. The push button may be arranged to engage a power button to turn the oral irrigator assembly on and off. The knob may be coupled to the pressure assembly to adjust at least one of a pressure and a volume of a fluid expelled through the oral irrigator handle upon movement of the knob.

    摘要: A method of attaching a brush head to an oral cleansing device is provided. The method may include inserting a drive shaft of the oral cleansing device into a shaft of the brush head. The method may include causing, in response to inserting the drive shaft into the shaft of the brush head, a cantilevered beam inside the shaft to bend outward, creating a reactionary force that presses against the drive shaft.

    摘要: A brush head for an oral cleansing device is provided. The brush head may include a shaft and a cantilevered beam positioned within the shaft. The cantilevered beam may be configured to press against a drive shaft of the oral cleansing device to transfer motion of the drive shaft to the brush head. The cantilevered beam may be formed on an adapter secured within the shaft.

    摘要: A removable fluid connection fitting for an oral irrigator is provided. The oral irrigator may include a base unit including an opening formed therein, an oral irrigator handle including a handle inlet, a fitting removably coupled to the base unit and seated within the opening formed in the base unit, and a tube in fluid communication with the fitting and the handle inlet. The fitting may include a fitting inlet and a fitting outlet, the fitting inlet being in fluid communication with the base unit. The tube may be in fluid communication with the fluid outlet. Fluid from the base unit may flow through the fitting inlet, to the fitting outlet, into the tube, and into the handle inlet.

    摘要: In one embodiment, an oral irrigator includes a reservoir, a base configured to support the reservoir, and a button assembly coupled to the base. The button assembly may include a button, a spring coupled to the button, and a seal coupled to the spring. The button may be movable between an original position and an actuation position. The spring may be configured to deform in response to a user input force moving the button from the original position to the actuation position, and to resiliently return the button to the original position in response to cessation of the user input force on the button. The seal may inhibit fluid from entering through the spring into the base.

    摘要: An oral cleansing device (e.g., an irrigating, electric toothbrush) is disclosed. The oral cleansing device includes a handle, a cleansing attachment (e.g., a brush head attachment), and an irrigating attachment (e.g., an oral irrigator tip). The handle includes one or more control buttons to activate motion of an output shaft and/or an irrigating feature of the oral cleansing device. The cleansing attachment includes a plurality of bristles and is attachable to the handle such that movement of the output shaft is transferred to the cleansing attachment. The irrigating attachment defines an internal fluid passageway for receiving fluid from the handle and is attachable to the handle such that movement of the output shaft is not transferred to the irrigating attachment.
