Abstract
A device with two or more regions configured to clean or treat a working surface is disclosed. Preferably, the device is an oral-care device with a power cleaning head. The power cleaning head comprises two or more regions, wherein at least one of the regions is configured to move and wherein at least one of the regions comprises a squeegee element. Preferably, the regions are configured to independently rotate, oscillate, vibrate or otherwise move while cleaning teeth and gums and can each include bristles, nodules, squeegee elements, or any combination thereof.
Claims12
A device comprising a cleaning head, the cleaning head comprising a squeegee configuration comprising a plurality of intersecting squeegee segments protruding upward from a support structure and extending radially outward along the support structure with outside side edges that define a periphery and bristles protruding from the support structure within the periphery, the squeegee configuration further comprising discrete squeegee segments protruding upward from the support structure, wherein the support structure is configured to automatically move the intersecting squeegee segments.
A oral-care device comprising a motorized cleaning head, the motorized cleaning head comprising a squeegee configuration comprising a plurality of intersecting squeegee segments protruding upward from a support surface and extending radially outward along the support surface with outside side edges that define a periphery and bristles protruding from the support surface within the periphery, the squeegee configuration further comprising discrete squeegee segments protruding upward from the support surface.
A device comprising a plurality of squeegee segments with substantially linear top wiping edges, wherein the substantially linear top wiping edges extend radially outward along a support surface, bristles and a substantially circular squeegee surrounding the plurality of squeegee segments and the bristles.
