Patent number: 11819116Abstract: A magnetically levitating sterilizing toothbrush holder with associated toothbrush includes a holder generating a magnetic field and a toothbrush including a magnetic or ferromagnetic element. The holder and toothbrush are so configured that, when the toothbrush is placed in the holder, the force of gravity acting on the toothbrush is balanced in opposition to the magnetic force resulting from the interaction of the toothbrush's magnetic element with the holder's magnetic field, resulting in magnetic levitation of the toothbrush within the holder, thereby suspending the brush from all potentially contaminating surfaces. The holder further includes a sterilizing ultraviolet light source, whereby the operational end of the toothbrush with its bristles is bathed in sterilizing radiation when the brush is suspended in the holder.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Inventor: Robert Griffith
