Abstract
The present invention provides a travel toothbrush with a toothpaste dispenser. The handle has a toothpaste chamber defined in the handle, the chamber having a proximal opening adjacent a brush head and a distal opening at the free end of the handle. The distal opening is adapted for loading toothpaste into the toothpaste chamber and accommodating a plunger. The brush head is removably attached to the handle, and has a conduit communicating with the proximal end of the handle chamber, the conduit terminating in a discharge opening beneath the bristles. A resilient flapper valve is disposed in the brush head conduit, and is normally open so that the plunger may be used to force toothpaste through the handle onto the bristles. The toothbrush is provided with a removable cap having a stopper that slides into an axial bore in the brush head to force the flapper valve into a closed position.
Description
- This application is related to and claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/765,739, filed Feb. 07, 2006, entitled TRAVEL TOOTHBRUSH WITH TOOTHPASTE IN HANDLE, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- n/a
- The present invention relates to toothbrushes, and more specifically to a travel toothbrush having a toothpaste dispenser in the handle.
- Normally people brush their teeth at home, storing their toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste In the bathroom or in the kitchen. However, when people travel, proper care of the teeth becomes problematical. Some travel cases are available for toiletries that include a carrying case for a toothbrush, but no provision is made for carrying a tube of toothpaste. Some toothbrushes are available that provide for storage of toothpaste, and even for dispensing toothpaste through the handle onto the bristles. However, such devices are often bulky, are not portable, or do not provide for easy cleaning of the toothpaste conduit through the handle. Further, with frequent use the bristles may become worn, and such toothbrushes do not provide for replacement of the brush head. Finally, portable toothbrushes are often not compact, and often no provision is made for securing the portable toothbrush in a pocket, so that the toothbrush does not have to be carried in luggage.
- Thus, a travel toothbrush with a toothpaste dispenser in the handle solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
- The travel toothbrush with a toothpaste dispenser in the handle is designed for portable use. The toothbrush has a toothpaste chamber defined in the handle, the chamber having a proximal opening adjacent the brush head and a distal opening at the free end of the handle. The distal opening is adapted for loading toothpaste into the toothpaste chamber and accommodating a plunger. The brush head is removably attached to the handle, and has a conduit communicating with the proximal end of the handle chamber, the conduit terminating in a discharge opening beneath the bristles. A resilient flapper valve is disposed in the brush head conduit, and is normally open so that the plunger may be used to force toothpaste through the handle onto the bristles. The toothbrush is provided with a removable cap having a stopper that slides into an axial bore in the brush head to force the flapper valve into a closed position; and a clip for securing the toothbrush to a pocket for transport and storage. The brush head has a bore with internal threads for engaging a threaded proximal end of the handle, so that the brush head is replaceable.
- These and other features of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a travel toothbrush with a toothpaste dispenser in the handle according to the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a partially exploded front view of the travel toothbrush according to the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is a partially exploded side view of the travel toothbrush according to the present invention. - Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
- As shown in
FIGS. 1-3 , the present invention is a travel toothbrush with a toothpaste dispenser in the handle, designated generally, as 105 in the drawings, that has atoothpaste chamber 122 built into thehandle 115. Thetoothpaste chamber 122 is refillable, and is preferably substantially cylindrical. Thetoothpaste chamber 122 should be capable of storing enough toothpaste to permit repeated use for at least ten times before a refill is required. Thetoothpaste chamber 122 has an openproximal end 125 and an opendistal end 126. Thehandle 115 preferably has a frustroconical taper approaching theproximal end 125, which is externally threaded. - The
distal opening 126 is adapted for loading toothpaste into thetoothpaste chamber 122 and accommodating aplunger 110. An open, concave, semicylindrical handle extension 120 may be provided for a platform-like support of theplunger 110 in various axial positions. - A
brush head 130 has anaxial bore 129 extending from afree end 133 to ahandle attachment end 134, i.e., throughout an entire length of thebrush head 130, afront surface 131 havingbristles 132 extending therefrom, and atoothpaste outlet 135 defined in the front surface, preferably in, or proximal to, a middle region of thebristles 132, the outlet communicating with theaxial bore 129. Aresilient flapper valve 137 is hinged, e.g., by a living hinge, within theaxial bore 129, and is normally open, as shown inFIG. 3 , to block the passage of toothpaste through the axial bore between thetoothpaste outlet 135 and thefree end 133 of thebrush head 130, leaving the toothpaste outlet open so that theplunger 110 can force toothpaste through thehandle chamber 122 andaxial bore 129 to exittoothpaste outlet 135 and coat thebristles 132 with toothpaste. - The
axial bore 129 is internally threaded at thehandle attachment end 131 in order to receive the externally threadedproximal end 125 of thehandle 115, thereby joiningchamber 122 toaxial bore 129. This construction permits replacement of thebrush head 130, and also allows thebrush head 130 to be removed for cleaning thehandle chamber 122 and theaxial bore 129. - When toothpaste or other dentifrice, such as gel, liquid, tooth powder and the like, is loaded into the
chamber 122 at thedistal end 126, a sufficient insertion of theplunger 110 into thedistal opening 126 causes the toothpaste to flow through theproximal opening 125, into thebody aperture 129, and through thetoothpaste outlet 135 onto thebristles 132. - In storage, a
cap 140 having anopen end 142 and an internally disposedstopper 150 slidable throughaxial bore 129 covers thebrush head 130. Thestopper 150 slides intoaxial bore 129, causingflapper valve 137 to pivot to a closed position covering and sealingtoothpaste outlet 135. Thus, thecap 140 andflapper valve 137 are provided to block thetoothpaste outlet 135 for the purpose of avoiding accidental discharge of the toothpaste, avoiding soiling of a person's pocket, and protecting thebrush body 130 against dirt and germs, as well as keeping the toothpaste inside the chamber ever fresh and free from drying and contamination. - Additionally, the
cap 140 may have apocket clip 145 disposed along an outside wall of thecap 140 so that thetoothbrush 105 may be clipped to one's shirt pocket, and the like. - Preferable dimensions of the
toothbrush 105 without thecap 140 range from a width of approximately 1.3 to 1.6 cm at thehandle 115, a width of approximately 1.0 to 1.3 cm at thebrush head 130, and a length ranging from 13.5 to 16.5 cm. Thetravel toothbrush 105 may be made from plastic material, or from corrosion resistant metal alloys, if desired. - It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
