Abstract

A dispensing toothbrush includes a removable insert tooth paste tube for self application. This One for All design allows easy storage of tooth paste within the brush itself. It is simpler and different than other dispensing designs in that the tooth paste is not traveling through the length of a hollow tube to the bristles. The user simply unscrews the tube by twisting the cap off the bottom allowing self application. The user squeezes the flexing tube applying the toothpaste to the bristles. Storage of the toothpaste in the brush for subsequent self application is the major difference from other U.S. Patents. Again as in the other design, safety is a major concern with any dispensing toothbrush and this design allows for cleaning the brush the same as with any non-dispensing toothbrush.A twist cap is present at the bottom of the tooth brush for twisting and removing an internal tube that is full of toothpaste or toothpaste pellets. After twisting the cap, the tube is removed by dropping it out of the toothbrush. The tube containing toothpaste is then manipulated by finger force to apply the paste to the bristles or in the case of pellets one would be removed at a time for application, and finally the tube is returned by inserting it back into the toothbrush handle and twisting the cap back into place at the bottom of the toothbrush.
