  • Patent number: 6029303
    Abstract: A toothbrush including an elongated handle, a bristle head, a plurality of bristles, and an electronic device. The elongated handle includes a recess suitable for housing an electronic device. The bristle head is connected to the elongated handle. The plurality of bristles are embedded in the bristle head. The electronic device is configured to produce a detectable output sequence after a condition has been satisfied. In one embodiment, the detectable output comprises an audio signal while in an alternative embodiment, the detectable output comprises a visual signal such as light. In one embodiment, the electronic device includes a sequence initiator, a timer, and an output device all coupled to a control unit. The control unit is preferably adapted to initiate the timer upon receiving an initiation signal from the sequence initiator. The control unit is further configured to receive a signal from the timer after a minimum specified duration has expired.
