A toothbrush having a head which moves in an arc about the longitudinal axis of the brush in a spiral track. The brush comprises bristles, a bristle base from which the bristles extend, a panel in which the bristle base slides, a head base and a handle. The panel is attached to the head base by a hinge. The panel is curved and includes an elongated aperture which forms the track for the bristle base.

Dual-compartment dispenser

A dual-chamber dispenser is provided that includes a cap having a dispensing base and a cover, and a pair of elongated hollow tubes attached to an underside of the dispensing base. At an upper dispensing end of each of the tubes is an exit orifice and a coupling mechanism for attachment to the underside of the dispensing base. The upper dispensing end is D-shaped in cross-section. At a lower sealing end of the hollow tube the cross-section is either round or oval. When filled with product, the lower ends of the pair of hollow tubes are crimped together to form a seal.

Dual chamber dispenser

A spray pump dispenser is described with a lever operated spray actuator mechanism, the lever being contouringly formed in a cap of the mechanism. A pair of guide posts on a plunger of the pump maintain proper orientation of the plunger during downward movement through cooperation with a pair of elongated ribs on an inner side wall of the cap. The aforementioned features prevent rotation of the plunger and control the spray direction as spray exits through a window in the cap.

Lever action spray pump dispenser

A dispensing device is provided including a container having a neck, a fitment mounted on the container having an elongated socket for receiving a roller therewithin and a valve member slidably mounted on the neck and communicating with an inner surface of the elongated socket. The valve member includes a transverse wall with a switch rib jutting outward from an upper surface thereof and projecting through a window formed on the wall of the fitment. A pair of slots flank the switch rib and partially traverse across the upper surface thereof and completely across a skirt projecting downwardly from the upper surface. Additionally, there may be a cutout area located between the slots. Both the slots and cutout area provide flexibility to the switch rib. Fluid communication between the container and fitment is achieved when a cap covering the fitment is removed. During removal, a projection on an inner surface of the cap catches the switch rib thereby moving the valve member upward and then through flexing of the switch rib disengaging same.
