The presently disclosed multi-position biased rotating logo components permit an electronic device to display a logo associated with the device in a variety of positions with reference to a device housing while the device is re-positioned in different orientations. This allows the logo to maintain a desired orientation with reference to a support surface or a direction of gravity as the device is re-positioned in the different orientation. Further, the rotating logo is biased to achieve and maintain two or more preselected orientations within the housing that correspond to two or more intended orientations of the device.

The guidance assembly is used for precise cleaning of interproximal spaces of teeth. The guidance assembly includes a base portion () for contacting the surfaces of teeth and gum region, adjacent the interproximal space, the base portion being approximately 12 mm in diameter to provide stable contact with the teeth and gum region. The guidance assembly also includes a tip portion () which extends forward of the base portion and includes an opening () through which the droplet spray is directed coincident with the plane of the interproximal space.

The spray assembly for a droplet spray teeth cleaning system includes a guidance member at the end thereof. The spray assembly includes a nozzle through which a spray of liquid is directed to the teeth for cleaning. The guidance member is configured and mounted relative to the nozzle to provide a selected standoff distance between the nozzle and the teeth and includes a portion which is configured to fit in the interproximal space between adjacent teeth and gums, or against the frontal portions of the teeth, so that the user knows the location of the spray relative to the teeth.

The apparatus includes a motor () which drives a first compound gear () having first and second portions (), the second portion driving a second compound gear (). The second compound gear has one portion () which has teeth over only one half the circumference thereof. The apparatus further includes an air cylinder () and a rack () and a spring assembly () a sealing end portion () of the rack fitting in a fluid-tight relationship with the air cylinder, wherein the rack member is engaged by the one portion of the second compound gear, compressing the spring when the teeth thereon engage the rack member. When the no-teeth portion comes adjacent the rack member, the rack is released and the sealing end of the rack member is forced by action of the spring into the air cylinder, producing bursts of air. The second compound gear also drives a peristaltic pump, producing liquid in bursts which are directed to a mixing chamber, from which a stream of liquid droplets exit through exit

The fluid-dispensing power toothbrush includes a selected toothbrush architecture, generally, a handle portion, a head portion which is removable from the handle portion and a fluid-dispensing system which is removable with the head portion. The fluid-dispensing portion includes a pump and a fluid reservoir, with the reservoir being removable from the pump. The entire reservoir extends down along an exterior surface of the handle, below the lower edge of the head portion. A cover member overlies and mates with the handle, covering the reservoir when the cover member is in a closed position.

The attachment system includes a brushhead assembly having a spring/carrier combination which comprises a spring assembly and a separate carrier assembly, adapted to mate as a combination with a receiving portion, in the form of a cup member, at the top of the handle of the toothbrush. The spring/carrier combination includes a slot which mates snugly with a vertical rib on the inside surface of the cup member, and further includes a portion which opposes the slot on the spring/carrier combination which mates snugly with a cut-out portion in the cup member, to prevent rotational movement of the brushhead relative to the handle. The spring/carrier assembly further includes two opposing spring finger elements, wherein the lower ends of the spring fingers fit into corresponding openings in opposing sides of the cup member when the spring/carrier assembly is operatively positioned in the cup member, tending to prevent translational movement of the brushhead relative to the handle.

The duckbill valve assembly includes at least two duckbill valve members and a flexible, flat flange member which joins the two duckbill valve members together. The flange connects the duckbill valve members together at their respective bases, thereby maintaining the two duckbill valve members in a particular orientation and arrangement relative to each other.

The present invention is directed to an electrocardiogram electrode connector for connecting an electrode to an electrocardiogram device that solves the problems with the Prior Art noted above as well as providing numerous advantages. The connector of the present invention comprises a lower portion having an electrode end and an ECG end, and an upper portion pivotally connected to the lower portion. The upper portion likewise has an electrode end and an ECG end. The connector also comprises a spring between the lower portion and the upper portion to bias the electrode ends together to clamp about an electrode. Further, the connector comprises an electrical assembly having an elastomeric electrical connector to provide electrical continuity between the electrode and the ECG device when the electrode ends of the lower portion and the upper portion of the connector are biased together.
