Definitions
- the present invention addresses this problem through the utilisation of a common conduit within the brush head, which branches into three shorter conduits, which serve as separate points of emergence to assist in more even dispersion of the extruded toothpaste, throughout the bristle area.
- the present invention relates to a toothbrush that has toothpaste, stored in an in-built reservoir, (formed by a hollowed section within the handle of the toothbrush) and a means of transferring that stored toothpaste, where it may be used at the head of the toothbrush.
- cap 1 is fitted to handle/reservoir 3 to protect plunger 2 from unintentional depression.
- Handle/reservoir 3 is snap fitted' into head and bristle assembly 5.
- Toothpaste 4 is contained ahead of plunger 2, in handle/reservoir 3, ready to be transferred to head and bristle assembly 5, (via conduits 6) through depression of plunger 2.
- toothpaste conveyed through channel 6 emerges at three exit points 7 at the base of the bristle components of head and bristle assembly 5.
- head and bristle assembly 5 is comprised of two matching components, so that the system of conduits may be produced, as described above.
- These matching components are 'snap-fitted' together by virtue of special projections and corresponding indentations (not visible in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2) that are moulded into each of these matching components.
- these two components of head and bristle assembly 5 may be joined by virtue of automated welding methods (such as high frequency (and ultra high frequency) welding) as commonly used, to join moulded plastic components.
- head and bristle assembly 5 be moulded in plastic types that are conducive to joining by adhesive methods, then such methods may also be employed for joining.
