Abstract

1. Reservoir toothbrush with an integral toothpaste compartment, which is connected by a feed tube to the head of the brush, through which the toothpaste is conveyed by means of a plunger and conveyor-screw into the head of the brush, as well as a cap fitted with a plug which, when attached, closes the toothpaste emission opening, characterized in that the cap (7) is axially attachable and the head of the toothbrush (10) exhibits a surface diagonally arranged to the axis of the toothbrush (10), and that the plug (8) exhibits a matching inverse diagonal surface which, when the cap (7) is attached, comes to rest on the diagonal surface of the toothbrush head (10) and so seals the opening (9).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zahnbürste die folgende Funktionen ausführt:

  • a) Die in einem 15,2 cm langem Hohlkörper(1) befindliche Zahnbürste wird direkt aus diesem mittels eines Schraubdruckkolbens(5) mit Zahnpasta(4) gespeist.
  • b) Die Schutzhülle(7) über der Zahnbürste(10) wird zu gleicher Zeit als Wasserbehälter zum Mundspülen benutzt.
  • c) Die Funktion der Mehrzweckzahnbürste ist so gehalten, daß bei sparsamstem Zahnpastagebrauch und der äußerst hygienischen Verpackung und Handhabung nach restloser Entleerung des Zahnpastabehälters(1) die Mehrzweckzahnbürste ihre gesamten Funktionen erledigt hat. Die Herstellungskosten berücksichtigen diesen Einweg.
  • d) Der Vorteil der Mehrzweckzahnbürste ist, daß sich alle oben angeführten Funktionen in einem Plastikgehäuse(1) befinden. Sie ist darum aufgrund ihres Taschenformats bei Reisen, Camping, Sport etc. zu verwenden. Sie erspart dem Besitzer den separaten Kauf von Zahnpasta, Bürste und Glas. Durch den nach rechts drehbaren Knopf(6) am hinteren Ende der Plastikhülle ist die Pasta(4) leicht regulierbar und wird von innen her direkt auf die Bürste(10) geführt. Durch die Handlichkeit der Hülle ist die Zahnbürste(10) im Mund leicht lenkbar. Die verschiedenen Farben an der Knopfdrehung(6) und am Deckel(7) lassen das Ganze familiengerecht werden.
  • e) Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Dorn(8) in der Schutz und Wasserhülle(7) der ein Austrocken der Zahnpasta verhindert.
The invention relates to a toothbrush that performs the following functions:
  • a) The toothbrush located in a 15.2 cm long hollow body (1) is fed directly from it by means of a screw pressure piston (5) with toothpaste (4).
  • b) The protective cover (7) over the toothbrush (10) is used at the same time as a water container for rinsing the mouth.
  • c) The function of the multi-purpose toothbrush is kept so that with the most economical use of toothpaste and the extremely hygienic packaging and handling after the toothpaste container (1) has been completely emptied, the multi-purpose toothbrush has done all of its functions. The manufacturing costs take this one-way into account.
  • d) The advantage of the multi-purpose toothbrush is that all the functions listed above are in a plastic housing (1). Because of its pocket size, it can therefore be used for travel, camping, sports etc. It saves the owner from having to buy toothpaste, brush and glass separately. The pasta (4) can be easily adjusted using the knob (6) on the rear end of the plastic cover, which is rotated to the right and is guided from the inside directly onto the brush (10). Due to the handiness of the case, the toothbrush (10) can be easily steered in the mouth. The different colors on the knob (6) and on the lid (7) make the whole thing family-friendly.
  • e) Particularly noteworthy is the mandrel (8) in the protective and water cover (7) which prevents the toothpaste from drying out.
