  • Patent number: 6193512
    Abstract: A jet water teeth cleaning apparatus comprises a shower head for releasably attaching the apparatus to the inlet pipe of a shower. A valve coupled to the shower head selectably diverts water through a flexible tube to a handheld unit. The hand unit includes a housing with a nozzle and a pistol-grip style handle. The handle includes a trigger for regulating the velocity of water allowed to flow through the housing and for actuating a battery powered vibration unit. The vibration unit includes a reciprocating piston which maintains optimal water pressure by stirring the water flow to reduce friction between the water and the channel. The housing further includes a refillable reservoir of dentifrice which communicates a quantity of dentifrice into the water stream channel according to a siphoning or Venturi effect. The water stream with dentifrice is expelled through the nozzle for cleaning or flossing a user's teeth while showering.

The reservoir, housing and top lid are releasably connected to each other by complementary hinges. A cutting blade comprises a frame having a plurality of cutting wires spanning the frame is releasably engageable within the cutting blade housing. Upon placement of a food product on the cutting blade, downward pressure of the open lid urges the food product passed the cutting blade wires, the resulting food product slices falling in the storage reservoir therebelow. The storage reservoir is releasably engageable from the cutting blade housing to enable the reservoir to be used as a separate serving and/or baking dish. A releasable engagement of the cutting blade with the cutting blade housing allows for a plurality of variously configured cutting blades to be utilized.
