  • Patent number: 6085379
    Abstract: A mouthbrush that is particularly adapted for use with liquid cleansers. The construction employs longitudinal grooves in the brush head to store and deliver liquid cleanser paste to hollow bristles that are located below the grooves. These hollow bristles act as additional liquid reservoirs as well as being efficient applicators of a liquid cleanser to the mouth surfaces. The mouthbrush is economical to produce and is competitive with standard available toothbrushes.

  • Patent number: 5894926
    Abstract: A modification of an earlier invention by this inventor for a non-spiilable liquid toothpaste dispenser, to simplify its construction and make replacement liquid toothpaste cartridges more available. The dispenser stands upright for normal use, but can be used in any orientation. It is made of rigid plastic and comprises a case, a cap, a cartridge containing liquid toothpaste, a case stand and a tooth floss holder. Inside the case top is a novel sliding valve that utilizes semicircular doors at its top. In use, a toothbrush head is pushed through a flanged hole in the top of the case, through the valve semicircular doors and into the liquid toothpaste. When the toothbrush is withdrawn, excess toothpaste is wiped off by the doors which return to their normal closed position to seal off liquid flows A plug which fits tightly in the case top entry flange, is provided in the cap to ensure no liquid leakage when the dispenser is packed. The liquid cartridge is simple and inexpensive to replace.
