Abstract

An oral-care device with a power cleaning head configured to dispense an oral-care cleaning solution is disclosed. The power cleaning head comprises squeegees and bristles and one or more apertures for dispensing the oral-care solution. Preferably, the squeegee and bristle are configured to rotate, oscillate, vibrate or otherwise move while dispensing the oral-care solution through the one or more apertures.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device comprising a cleaning head, the cleaning head comprising: a) a first region with a first squeegee element configured to treat a working surface; and b) a second region with bristles configured simultaneously treat the working surface; and c) means for delivering a solution through one or more apertures on the cleaning head, wherein at least one of the first region and the second region is configured to move. 
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the second region further comprises a second squeegee element. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first region further comprises bristles. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the first region and second region is configured to vibrate, rotate or oscillate. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first squeegee element comprises top wiping squeegee edges and side wiping squeegee edges. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first squeegee element comprises a squeegee wall that encircles an inner squeegee region. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the second region comprises a second squeegee element. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the second squeegee element comprise top wiping edges and side wiping edges. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a motorized handle configured to detachably couple the cleaning head. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a portion of the first squeegee element is corrugated, rounded, angled or pointed. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising nodules protruding from the cleaning head. 
     
     
         12 . A device comprising a motorized cleaning head, the motorized cleaning head comprising: a) a support structure with one or more apertures for dispensing an oral-car liquid; b) a squeegee member with an elongated squeegee wall protruding from the support member; and b) bristles protruding form the support member. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the elongated squeegee wall is curved. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the squeegee member is configured to vibrate, rotate or oscillate. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein one or more of the plurality of fin structures are curved. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the elongated squeegee wall encircles at least a portion of the bristles. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the elongated squeegee wall is surrounded by at least a portion of the bristles. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 12 , further comprising nodules. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein at least a portion of the motorized cleaning head is configured to vibrate, rotate or oscillate. 
     
     
         20 . A device comprising a cleaning head comprising: a) a first region with an aperture for dispensing a solution and a continuous squeegee that is configured to rotate or oscillate and that surround the aperture; and b) a second region with bristles. 
     
     
         21 . The device of  claim 20 , wherein the second region further comprises squeegee wiping element. 
     
     
         22 . The device of  claim 20 , further comprising one or more nodules. 
     
     
         23 . The device of  claim 20 , further comprising a handle for moving at least one of the first region and the second region. 
     
     
         24 . The device of  claim 23 , further comprising a pump mechanism for delivering an oral-care solution to the cleaning head through the aperture. 
     
     
         25 . A device for comprising: a) a cleaning head with one or more squeegees and bristles protruding from a support surface with one or more apertures; and b) a power handle configured to move the one or more squeegee and bristles and configured to dispensing pulses of a liquid through the one or more apertures, while one or more squeegees and bristles move
