    摘要: An electric toothbrush (10) and method of operating an electric toothbrush. The electric toothbrush includes a handle portion (14) having a shaft (38) configured to receive a brushing load from a bristled end (18) of a brush head (12). A sensor assembly (30) is configured to determine a deflection proportional to the brushing load with respect to a first direction (24) associated with the brushing load. The sensor assembly includes an air gap (32) and is configured to determine the deflection based on changes in the air gap. A mounting bracket (50) is connected between opposite sides of the air gap, the mounting bracket having a first bending stiffness with respect to the first direction, and a second bending stiffness with respect to a second direction (28) generally opposite to the first direction. The first bending stiffness is greater than the second bending stiffness.

    摘要: A rotatable brush for animals is provided, having a longitudinal length and including a rotatable core portion with a plurality of bristles each having a first end connected to the core portion and a second free end located in a position radially outwardly of the first end with respect to a rotation axis of the brush. The brush includes at least one protective element rotationally fixedly connected to the core portion. The least one protective element is flexible and extends radially outwardly from the core portion. The protective element forms an outer hair guiding surface portion along the longitudinal length of the brush.

    摘要: A stress control brush includes a brush head, an elastic plate and a handle. The brush head includes a bristle seat and a first limit part. The handle includes a holder and a second limit part. The elastic plate connects the brush head and the handle. The elastic plate with curved structure has an unbending type and a collapsed bending type. The first limit part and the second limit part are pressed against each other so as to restrict the bending curvature of the elastic plate.

    摘要: The power toothbrush includes a brushhead arm (36) and a brush element (38) at a distal end thereof. A V-spring assembly (14) converts the movement of a power drive assembly in a back-and-forth movement. A mounting member (55) at the rear end of the V-spring assembly provides a base for a magnet (56). The back end of the V-spring assembly is displaced in accordance with pressure applied to the brush member. A Hall effect sensor (58) is mounted within the changing magnetic field produced by the magnet as the rear end of the V-spring assembly is displaced due to pressure on the brushhead. A processor (65) is responsive to the output from the Hall sensor and provides an indication when the pressure exceeds a threshold value.
