Fully Loaded

Instead of having both the tooth—paste/gel and the tooth—brush on hand to brush your teeth, with my invention you only need a combination of both, to be taken on trips, to work/school or to be kept at home. This means that every member of the family can do their dentures independently of each other (i.e. having their own tooth—paste/gel). With my horizontal spin-head bristles, getting to clean between teeth will be much easier and more effective.

Description

The object of my invention is to provide a tooth—brush made from transparent plastic, injection moulded or otherwise, that dispenses the tooth—paste/gel from the handle to the bristles by the press of a button. Other more specific objects will appear from the description hereinafter, and all the wonderful features of novelty will be disclosed in the claims.

These objects I accomplish by means of such structure and relative arrangement of parts as will fully appear by a perusal of the following specification and claim.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the first half of the tooth—brush taken on line 1-1 of FIG. 3. It features a replaceable spin head brush on a horizontal axis (item #1&2), the brush's cover, (item #3) the shaft & gear (item #4&6), also shown in this view is the housing (item #5) the button to activate the motor (item #7), the motor (item #8), the cover plate(item #9), rechargeable battery (item #10), a male connector (item #15), a clear passage/channel for the tooth-paste/gel, the valve for controlling the tooth-paste/gel flow to the brush (item #23), magnet (item #21) and (item #24) to facilitate the smooth flow of the tooth-paste/gel to the bristles. Items #18 & 19 are magnets, (item #20) lever, (items #17&22) are supports for the magnets and the lever, also a male threaded end. N.B. items #21 the magnet, 23 and 24, are to be bonded together with a suitable adhesive, likewise magnet #19 and lever #20 to be bonded together also. Items #17 and 22 to be bonded to the housing item #5. Magnets #19 and 21 should be set to attract each other (unlike poles). Magnet #18 should be set to repel magnet #19. Therefore when the lever (item #20) is pushed backward (to the right), the magnetic field will make items #21, 23 and 24 also move backwards (to the right) opening the valve, thus allowing the tooth-paste/gel to flow to the brush see FIG. 9. Magnet #18 is to ensure the closure of the valve.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the second half of the tooth—brush taken on line 2-2 of FIG. 4. It features the handle (item #11) c/w tooth-paste/gel mixed with propellant under pressure (item #12), the propellant under pressure (item #13), an o-ring (item #16) a female threaded area c/w a bung (item #14)with a female feature to receive (item #15) in FIG. 1. When FIG. 1 is screwed into FIG. 2, the male connector (item #15) will push back the bung (item #14) therefore releasing the tooth-paste/gel/propellant mixture into the passage/channel of FIG. 1 see FIG. 8.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the first half of the tooth—brush. It features the replaceable spin-head brush on a horizontal axis (item #2), the brush's cover (item #3), the housing (item #5), the button to activate the motor (item #7), the cover plate (item #9), a partial view of the male connector (item #15) and finally a male threaded end to connect to the female threaded end in FIG. 2.
