Description
- This application relates to and claims the priority date of Provisional Patent 60/319,559 filed on Sep. 18, 2002.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- This invention relates to art of dental hygiene, specifically an improvement for the storage of dental hygiene supplies and an improvement for the dispensing of toothpaste.
- 2. Description of Prior Art
- With the public concern so prevalent today about germs, bacteria, and diseases that arise therefrom, there is a growing need for products that aid in minimizing their transfer. One area of personal hygiene in which germs and bacteria, and their transfer, are very common, is the oral cavity. The oral cavity and, in particular, the tools used in cleaning it, such as a toothbrush, are notorious havens for disease-causing organisms.
- The transfer of germs and bacteria between dental tools or toothbrushes and the mouth is facilitated by non-sanitary storage of these tools between use and/or multiple users of a common area using, then storing their personal hygiene tools or toothbrushes repeatably. Anytime there may be multiple users of an area where personal hygiene devices are stored, such as a toothbrush in a holder, the potential for germ or bacteria transfer exists. Examples include visiting house guests, family, or friends, a house full of children with poor sanitary habits, and hotel rooms in which a different guest uses the facility each day.
- A few U.S. Patents have addressed the storage issue of toothbrushes, in particular.
- For example, U.S. Pat. No. 1,487,085 discloses a device for holding a tube of toothpaste and a closure therefore, and a holding device for supporting a plurality of toothbrushes.
- U.S. Pat. No. 2,916,155 discloses a sanitary disposable holder for oral hygiene devices, such as toothbrushes.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,002,630 discloses a sanitary, disposable, toothbrush rack.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,259,519 discloses a removable toothbrush holder having a rear, T-shaped projection which fits into a permanent holder of somewhat C-shape for slid ably supporting the projection.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,401,943 discloses a Toothbrush holder Which is a disposable holder comprising: a first member and a second member, wherein the first member is a disposable carrier comprising a substantially horizontal carrier plate hand the second member is a mounting bracket
- There does, however, remain a need for safe (i.e., no sharp corners, tilt prevention, etc.), sanitary, easily constructed, toothbrush and dental supply holder that allows a variety of mounting possibilities for the dispensing of tooth paste and to serve as an organizer for all the items necessary for oral hygiene.
- There is still room for improvement within the art.
- It is the object of this invention to provide an all inclusive dental cleaning center that makes a mess free for dispensing of tooth paste, an organizer for all the items necessary for oral hygiene and economical dispensing of toothpaste.
- []OLE_LINK1 The current device is a Dental Hygiene Center is an all in one tooth care center.
