20110170940 | Drop Away Toothpaste Tube/Brush - A dispensing toothbrush includes a removable insert tooth paste tube for self application. This One for All design allows easy storage of tooth paste within the brush itself. It is simpler and different than other dispensing designs in that the tooth paste is not traveling through the length of a hollow tube to the bristles. The user simply unscrews the tube by twisting the cap off the bottom allowing self application. The user squeezes the flexing tube applying the toothpaste to the bristles. Storage of the toothpaste in the brush for subsequent self application is the major difference from other U.S. Patents. Again as in the other design, safety is a major concern with any dispensing toothbrush and this design allows for cleaning the brush the same as with any non-dispensing toothbrush. | 07-14-2011 |
