Timothy Lawrence has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20220296347
    Abstract: A toothbrush having one or more light sources with an electronic interlock control device preventing operation of the light source when the toothbrush is removed from the user's mouth. The electronic interlock control over operation is necessary to prevent accidental eye exposure to the high intensity light source with a wavelength in the range of about 400 nm to about 1000 nm. The light-emitting toothbrush activates upon entering the user's mouth but deactivates immediately when removed, thus protecting the user's eyes from direct exposure to the high power light source contained in the brush head.

  • Publication number: 20220273408
    Abstract: An electric toothbrush includes a handle with a motor and a light source located in a proximal end. A brush head is in a distal end of the toothbrush, and a drive shaft conveys kinetic energy from the motor to the brush head. The drive shaft includes a light guide from the light source to the distal end and contains two layers of an optical medium of differing refractive indices to enable TIR within the light guide. The brush has a tuft plate having bristles and is made of a polymer such that the water contact angle of the tuft plate is less than 90 degrees and is at least partially transparent. The handle and the tuft plate have electrical contacts to make a contact sensor and a movement sensor provides movement data. A computing device processes movement and contact data to determine when to activate the light.

  • Publication number: 20170020277
    Abstract: A short wavelength visible light-emitting toothbrush with an electronic interlock control device preventing operation when the toothbrush is removed from the user's mouth. The electronic interlock control over operation is necessary to prevent accidental eye exposure to the high intensity light source with a wavelength in the range of 400 nm to 500 nm. The light-emitting toothbrush activates upon entering the user's mouth but deactivates immediately when removed, thus protecting the user's eyes from direct exposure to the high power light source contained in the brush head.

  • Patent number: 9439503
    Abstract: A short wavelength visible light-emitting toothbrush with an electronic interlock control device preventing operation when the toothbrush is removed from the user's mouth. The electronic interlock control over operation is necessary to prevent accidental eye exposure to the high intensity light source with a wavelength in the range of 400 nm to 500 nm. The light-emitting toothbrush activates upon formation of an electrical circuit between the brush handle in contact with the users hand and the brush head or brush bristles in contact with moisture contained in a human mouth such as saliva or water mixed with toothpaste but deactivates immediately when removed from the mouth, thus protecting the user's eyes from direct exposure to the high power light source contained in the brush-head.
