Abstract

The nature of my invention is that I used an already existing product which was a type of brush that is used for other applications. Some of which are as a cosmetic brush and also as a cleaning brush for jewelry and hearing aides. I altered its design to become a new and useful product. This new product is a sanitized wrapped miniature disposable toothbrush. The handle of my brush is made longer and has 5 tufts of bristles instead of 7. This new style of brush is sanitized and then wrapped. The old style of brush was never sanitized wrapped and used for the application of a disposable toothbrush.

After the handle comes out of the mold, 5 tufts of bristles, which are 8 mm in length and made of thick heavy nylon is then injected into one end of the handle to form a little toothbrush. This brush then goes through a process of cobalt radiation sanitization and then is wrapped. [0002]
  • The old style of brush that I took my design idea from is a brush that is 62 mm long and 4 mm wide. This brush also has 7 tufts of bristles that is made of a soft nylon composition.

Claims (1)

1. What I claim as my invention is that I have invented a new and useful product from an already existing product. This new and improved product is a miniature disposable toothbrush. Since this new design and its new application of being a sanitized wrapped toothbrush makes it different then its previous form and applications, I therefore submit that this new brush warrants it's own patent for it's design and usefulness.
