Abstract: A plaque disclosing agent dispensing toothbrush is disclosed. The plaque disclosing agent disposing toothbrush includes: (a) a handle, the handle including a head portion and a grasping portion, an upper surface and a lower surface, and a hollow interior defining a reservoir, the reservoir being designed and constructed to contain dental plaque disclosing agent; (b) a plurality of bristles positioned on and attached to the upper surface of the head portion of the handle; (c) a conduit in communication with the reservoir and extending into the head portion, the conduit being connected to and terminating at an outlet aperture in the head portion; and (d) a dispensing mechanism operationally connected to the conduit and adapted to control flow through the conduit.

Abstract: An extension assembly fits between a tubular container of a baby bottle and a nipple end cap. The assembly includes a container body attached to the nipple end cap and having an internal chamber and a lower attaching structure connected to an upper open end of the tubular container and a release mechanism to control access by water in the tubular container to food material in the container body. The mechanism has a lower annular funnel sloping from an annular outer edge to an annular inner edge which defines a central opening aligned with the upper end of the tubular container. A central stopper structure supported by a lower open end of the container body is movable toward and away from the annular funnel structure as the container body moves within a sleeve extending upwards from the annular funnel structure. This movement prevents and permits access by water in the tubular container to the food material in the container body.
