  • Patent number: 7246400
    Abstract: The present invention is a hygienic toothbrush with cover, which utilizes a uniquely designed novel brush cover to keep the brush head bristles free of harmful particles and contaminants when not in use. The unique cover design allows for bristles to dry through utilization of finely woven mesh/screen-like side panels which allows the largest surface area of the brush head bristles to be exposed to the maximal amount of airflow without risk of contamination. The desired effect of faster drying reduces the ability of bacterial agents to grow on the brush bristles. The unique feature of the cover always remaining fastened to the brush handle helps prevent the contamination of the cover which happens when it is set upon a contaminated surface, and also accomplishes the desired goal of encouraging consistent use. When the toothbrush is being used, the cover is conveniently stored within the handle in a storage compartment, always remaining with the toothbrush.
