Abstract: A hinged door dispensing toothbrush includes a localized toothpaste filled reservoir comprising only the top quarter (or one fifth ?) of the toothbrush. No piston is required. The toothpaste is filled and localized directly behind the bristles for easy application. A hinged door located proximately behind the bristles doubles as both plunger to communicate the toothpaste on the bristles through a hole(s) near the bristles and as a loading device revealing an open chamber or magazine for loading toothpaste pellets. After loading the tooth paste pellets in the toothbrush and closing the hinged door, application of toothpaste onto the bristles occurs by pressing the hinged door plunger forcing toothpaste onto the bristles.

Abstract: A dispensing toothbrush includes a removable insert tooth paste tube for self application. This One for All design allows easy storage of tooth paste within the brush itself. It is simpler and different than other dispensing designs in that the tooth paste is not traveling through the length of a hollow tube to the bristles. The user simply unscrews the tube by twisting the cap off the bottom allowing self application. The user squeezes the flexing tube applying the toothpaste to the bristles. Storage of the toothpaste in the brush for subsequent self application is the major difference from other U.S. Patents. Again as in the other design, safety is a major concern with any dispensing toothbrush and this design allows for cleaning the brush the same as with any non-dispensing toothbrush. A twist cap is present at the bottom of the tooth brush for twisting and removing an internal tube that is full of toothpaste or toothpaste pellets.
