Dual valves are described herein. The dual valves have a plurality of lumens disposed within a unitary body. The dual valves can be used, for example, in personal care products such as toothbrushes and razors to dispense fluids such as dentifrice and shaving aids.

Valves for personal care devices

A manual toothbrush with a handle and a toothbrush head mounted on the handle. A pivot bearing for pivoting the toothbrush head relative to the handle is arranged between the toothbrush head and the handle.

Manual toothbrush

A toothbrush having a head with a first end and a second end with peripheral edge regions extending between the first end and the second end is described. The head includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The first surface includes raised portions and depressed portions, wherein the depressed portions are adjacent the peripheral edge regions. A first plurality of cleaning elements protrude from the first surface, and a second plurality of cleaning elements protrude from the first surface. Each of the first plurality of cleaning elements protrudes from a depressed portion and has a cross section. Each of the depressed portions has the same cross section as each of the first plurality of cleaning elements.

Toothbrush

A toothbrush including a brush head, bristle clusters protruding from a cleaning surface of the brush head and a depression disposed in the surface and surrounding at least one bristle cluster, the depression having a bottom into which the bristle cluster penetrates and in which the bristle cluster is fixed.

A method for coating a cleaning region of an interdental cleaning device, which includes preheating the cleaning region to a predetermined temperature. Then, immersing the preheated cleaning region in a coating agent. The coating agent including a flavoring agent encapsulated in a wax, thereby forming a coating on the cleaning region upon immersion. Next, a flow of air is forced across the coated cleaning region in a drip zone, thereby removing an excess portion of the wax and exposing at least a portion of the flavoring agent at a surface of the coating. Then, the coating is cured by cooling the cleaning region.

Coating an interdental cleaning region of an interdental cleaning device

A handheld toothbrush with a brush head having a forward free end and a rearward portion. Provided at the forward free end of the brush head is at least one bristle tuft of a first set. Adjoining the first set in rearward direction is a second set of tufts comprised of several bristle tufts arranged serially on a ring and extending in the circumferential direction of the ring at an angle of inclination relative to the surface of the brush head. A third set of tufts adjoins the second set of bristle tufts in the direction towards the rearward portion. The tufts of the third set are inclined in the circumferential direction in opposition to the direction of the bristle tufts of the second set. As a result, these tufts are capable of penetrating optimally between the user's teeth, hence ensuring a better cleaning result.

The steam generating device ( ) is used to heat and/or froth liquids, especially milk. It includes an electrically driven pump ( ) supplied with water from a water source ( ), which pump delivers water in a controlled fashion to a continuous flow heater ( ) heated by an electrically operated heating ( ) by way of a conduit ( ). The continuous flow heater ( ) heats the water it receives in its steam pipe ( ) to steam that is subsequently supplied to a steam tapping point, preferably a steam nozzle ( ), where the steam exits under pressure. An intermediate tank ( ) with an overflow chamber ( ) which stores a defined quantity of water is provided in the conduit ( ) between the pump ( ) and the steam pipe ( ). When the steam generating device ( ) is switched on, the pump ( ) is switched on simultaneously with the heating ( ), and after the switch-on the water delivered by the pump ( ) flows into the chamber ( ) of the intermediate tank ( ) and is retained there so long and is not delivered further to the continuous flow heater ( ) until the continuous flow heater ( ) has reached a temperature sufficient to evaporate water.
