  • Patent number: 8074814
    Abstract: The present invention is a wall-mounted toothbrush carousel that stores one or more electric and/or standard toothbrushes in a convenient rotary dispenser. The rotary dispenser comprises a top-mounted knob atop a clover-shaped disc, the disc being connected to a stem in a spindle-type manner. The bottom of the stem is connected to a concave base. In some embodiments, the concavity of the base collects and contains runoff. In other embodiments, the base may be defined by one or more drain holes to allow drainage of the residue. The stem offsets the disc from the base. The disc is four-leaf-clover-shaped and defined by alternate apertures (for holding standard and electric toothbrushes) and U-shaped recesses for holding electric toothbrushes. The spindle-type holder revolves around and holds one or more electric toothbrushes as well as standard toothbrushes in queued positions.
