Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a showerhead with a pause assembly. The pause assembly can be partially received within a chamber of the housing and positioned between a fluid inlet and a plurality of nozzles to permit flow or substantially reduce flow from the fluid inlet to the plurality of nozzles. The pause assembly includes a valve and a lever coupled to the valve. The lever extends from the housing and movement of the lever in the first direction moves the valve to a first position to permit flow from the fluid inlet to the plurality of nozzles and movement of the lever in a second direction moves the valve to a second position to substantially reduce flow from the fluid inlet to the plurality of nozzles.

Abstract: An oral irrigator handle (100) for receiving an oral hygiene agent is described. The handle (100) may be connected to a countertop oral irrigator or may be a portion of a handheld oral irrigator (10). The handle includes a chamber (124) for receiving the oral hygiene agent, where the chamber body positioned within the fluid path of the handle. Fluid flowing into the handle, flows into the chamber, allowing the fluid to intermix with the agent, and then flows from the chamber to a tip connected to the handle (100).

Abstract: Consumable abrasive-containing oral hygiene tablets are described. The tablets include glycine as an abrasive. The glycine average (Mv) particle size may be greater than 45 µm. The tablets may be used with an oral irrigator and, when placed in the irrigator's fluid flow path, may disintegrate, release the abrasive, and improve the cleaning efficacy of the irrigator.

Abstract: An actuation assembly (122, 322) for an oral irrigator (100) includes a bezel (166, 366) secured to or formed as part of a housing (103) of the oral irrigator (100), an actuator (162, 362) operably connected to the bezel (166, 366) and moveable relative thereto, and an augmentation fluid (300, 500) positioned between the bezel (166, 366) and the actuator (162, 362). The augmentation fluid (300, 500) modifies a frictional relationship between the bezel (166, 366) and the actuator (162, 362) to provide a predefined resistance force between the actuator (162, 362) and the bezel (166, 366) as the actuator (162, 362) is rotated relative to the bezel (166, 366).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an oral irrigator. In one embodiment, the oral irrigator includes a motor, a pump body, a connecting rod, and a diaphragm seal. The connecting rod is at least partially received within the pump body and is movably connected to the motor such that the motor moves the connecting rod between a first position and a second position within the pump body. The diaphragm seal is connected to the connecting rod and the pump body and deforms from a first orientation to a second orientation as the connecting rod moves from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: A vessel for use in rinsing a user's nasal cavity provides a resiliently collapsible main body, a self-sealing nozzle that increases in internal pressure when the vessel is squeezed, and a check valve in the nozzle to reduce back-wash into the vessel. A collar connects the nozzle and check valve to the main body. The check valve includes a first opening that provides fluid communication between the main body and a void formed in an interior of the nozzle and may allow pressure within the nozzle to increase upon deforming the main body. A second opening may provide fluid communication between an exterior of the main body and a fluid reservoir formed in the main body. The second opening may cooperate with a valve that allows selective fluid communication between the exterior of the main body and the reservoir formed in the main body.
