Secondly it requires a professional to hang shelves on these types of walls. The current invention solves these problems by manually hanging height adjustable shelves on mirror and shower frame which prevents any damage to walls or glass walls. The invention further includes auto toothpaste squeezer mechanism, which squeeze the paste automatically until the last drop, which does not happen in Beil's invention Des. 371, 032, that doesn't allow the user to squeeze all the paste, because curvy strip constantly attached in its top edge. Current invention can be used without removing rubber cap which replaces the original cap upon the very first usage.
Therefore, the present invention provides efficient, effective and very practical usage of Vanity Adjustable Shelves and Toothpaste Squeezer in one decorative unit.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONBriefly and in general terms, the present invention provides two different models, one is manually and the second is automatically. It is a new system and method for enabling the user easy, efficient, economical, and safe way of toothpaste usage and shelving space.
The manual model discloses flexible tube dispenser in which a pressure, using one hand's thumb over a movable curved strip joint to decorative shelve by slidable clip, squeezes the toothpaste from flexible tube located between the curved strip and the flat strap. Slidable clip allows the user to squeeze the paste until the last drop.
The automatically model automatically will drop The paste on top of tooth brush, by placing the brush close and under the paste tube nozzle. A sensor will commands solenoid to apply pressure on curved strip. The paste will stop dropping as soon as the user removes the brush away. If the paste is not dropping, the users may slide down the slidable clip, for adjustment.
The present invention is made of proper material, for efficient use and decorative look, such as: acrylic, plastic . . . and so on.
Pair of metal bars made flipped “U” shaped on top edge, easily fit on mirror and “U” shaped on bottom edge that fits on a shower frame. They are holding the shelf by a special technique, and the “U” shaped angle, hooks on a mirror or shower frame.
The above objects and advantages of the present invention, as well as others, are described in greater detail in the following description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing of illustrative embodiments.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The present invention is directed to an improved system and method for enabling user easy squeeze toothpaste until the last drop, not like Beil's invention Des. 371,032, which can not squeeze the toothpaste all the way to the end. The automatically model automatically will drop The paste on top of tooth brash The invention provide easy access to bathroom accessories on the decorative shelves that manually can be hanged on mirror or shower frame when the shower have a glass wall, in an efficient and effective manner. The invention provides a vanity “U” shaped shelves that are hanging on two metal bars by special technique that the weight of the shelves put pressure between the side of the shelves and the vertical bars which does not let the shelves slide down. For more security rubber made “O” shaped rings, located under the shelves around the bars, will stop the shelves from sliding down. The invention enables the user one hand usage of the toothpaste, while holding the brush in the same hand. The system doesn't require any complicated installation or any other special skills and can manually be hanged in the bathroom providing enhanced usage of the tooth brushing equipment. The present invention further provides stability, ease of use, access and height adjustability. The invention includes pair of metal bars made flipped “U” shaped on top edge, easily fit on mirror and “U” shaped on bottom edge that fits on a shower frame. They are holding the shelf by a special technique, and the small “U” shaped hooks on a mirror and wider “U” shaped may use to hang on shower frame. The preferred embodiments of the improved system and method are fully and detailed illustrated and described in the following paragraphs.
