The technical field to which the invention relates.

[0001] the Present invention, in General, relates to systems, kits and methods of care for the oral cavity, and specifically, to a system, kit and method that includes a toothbrush having an open cavity, which holds a removable dispenser containing the means to care for the oral cavity.

The level of technology

[0002] Products or funds to care for the oral cavity are applied in different ways. For example, without limitation, the standard technology used for tooth whitening products, is to cast the imprint of the teeth and to provide the bath with this imprint. People then need only to add the composition to bleach in the tub and use the tray to your teeth. She is left in place for a certain period of time and then removed. After several cleanings teeth gradually bleached. Another technique is to use adhesive that has a composition for whitening on the same surface. This patch is applied to the teeth of the person and left for approximately 30 minutes. After several applications of the teeth gradually bleached. Another another technique is to apply the composition for whitening the teeth using a small brush. This brush is and repeatedly dipped into the container during application of the composition for tooth whitening the teeth. After several cleanings teeth gradually bleached.

[0003] the Problem with existing technologies brushing your teeth is that the saliva in the mouth contains catalase enzyme. This enzyme catalyzes the decomposition of peroxides. The brush can collect part of the catalase in the application of the product to whiten to the teeth and to transport the catalase back into the vial. This catalase, now contained in a bottle, can spoil the peroxide in a bottle. Another problem is that the second technology is that it is not adaptable for use with anhydrous compositions for bleaching. Here, the brush can transport moisture from the saliva back into the vial. This has a negative effect on the composition for bleaching due to potential degradation of the active ingredient hydrogen peroxide. In addition, if a person washes the brush after every use, the moisture from the wet bristles may come in a bottle.

[0004] Although the system trays are suitable, many people do not use them because they are uncomfortable and/or inconvenient. In addition, to use a whitening tray, the user must keep the tub and required components on hand. This not only requires additional space for storage and thus close the bathrooms, but also requires copyprivate not forget to use whitening system. In addition, these systems with trays inconvenient in the sense of portability for transportation and/or travel.

[0005] In addition to difficulties in the application of certain products to care for your mouth, storage sometimes difficult and inconvenient for the user. Product to care for the oral cavity typically must be stored separately from accessories for cleaning teeth in the care of the oral cavity, such as a toothbrush, because product packaging for the care of mouth and toothbrush until today, in General, treated as separate and unrelated part of the care routine oral cavity.

[0050] the following describes preferred embodiments of the present invention relative to one possible system cleaning or care of the mouth. Embodiments of systems of care for oral hygiene may include, without limitation, the following tools: teeth whitening, antibacterial, to protect the enamel to reduce sensitivity, anti-inflammatory, to reduce adhesiveness, fluoride, to prevent/protect against Tartar, to flavor, to restore sensation, coloring and others. However, other embodiments of the present invention can be used to store and dispense any suitable type of means to care for the oral cavity, and the invention is not limited explicitly only one particular system or means is Ohm to care for the oral cavity.

[0051] Referring to Fig. 1-3, the system 100 of care for the oral cavity is illustrated according to one variant of implementation of the present invention. The system 100 of care for the oral cavity is a compact, portable, standalone and easy to use system that contains all the necessary components and chemical processes and phenomena necessary for the user to perform the desired procedure of cleaning and care of the oral cavity. As described in more detail below, system 100 oral care mouth in one exemplary embodiment, in General, takes the form of a modified toothbrush having a removable dispenser located at least partially within its handle. Because the dispenser is located within the toothbrush handle, the system 100 oral care mouth is portable for travel, easy to use and reduces the amount of required storage space. In addition, since the toothbrush and dispenser are placed together, the user is less likely puts the dispenser is not in place and often performs a procedure for cleaning the oral cavity by using a dispenser, because the procedure for cleaning the teeth will remind the user simply disconnect and apply the contents of the dispenser.

[0052] System 100 of care for the oral cavity, in General, contains the toothbrush 200 and the dispenser 300. Although the invention is described in D. Nam document regarding the use of a toothbrush as one of the two primary components of the system 100 of care for the oral cavity, it should be understood that within the scope of the present invention may be used with other advanced facilities to care for the oral cavity, which includes in itself cleaners to care for the language, polishing preparations for the care of teeth and specially designed facilities with a handle having elements for engagement with the teeth, specially designed with the ability to improve the performance of active funds in the dispenser for teeth. In addition, although the toothbrush 200 is preferably a manual toothbrush, the toothbrush can be a toothbrush with an electric drive in other embodiments of the invention. It should be understood that the invented system can be used for many of the identified needs care for the oral cavity by filling the dispenser 300 any material to care for the oral cavity, for example, means to care for the oral cavity, which achieves the desired effect in the mouth. In one embodiment, the means to care for the oral cavity, preferably does not contain (i.e. is not) toothpaste, because the dispenser is designed to enhance, not replace, the mode of brushing. The way to care for your mouth and/or media can be selected to complement the toothpaste recipe, for example, by koordinira is of tastes, colors, aesthetics or active ingredients.

[0053] toothbrush 200, in General, contains part 210 of the handle, the portion 220 of the neck portion 230 of the head. The handle 210 provides the user a mechanism by which it can easily capture and manage the toothbrush 100. The handle 210 may take many different shapes, sizes, materials and be formed by a variety of manufacturing methods, which are known to experts in the art, until she could place the dispenser 300, as explained below. If required, the handle 210 may include suitable textured grip 211 made of a soft elastomeric material. The handle 210 may be a single or composite structure. The handle 210 is from the middle end 212 to the far end 213 along the longitudinal axis A-A. As described in more detail below regarding Fig. 6, the cavity 240 is formed within the handle 210. Near end 212 of the handle 210 is a hole 215, which provides a passage into the cavity 240, through which the dispenser 300 can be inserted and removed. Although the hole 215 is located near end 212 of the handle in the illustrated embodiment, the hole may be located in other positions on the handle 210 in other embodiments of the invention. For example, the opening 215 may be located on the longitudinal surface of the Ucka 210 and be oblong, in order to provide sufficient access to the cavity 240, as further described in this document relative to the alternative implementation shown in Fig. 16.

[0054] the Handle 210 enters the mouth 220 at the outer end 213. Although the neck 220, in General, has a smaller cross sectional area than the handle 220, the invention is not limited to this. Neck 220 is just a transition area between the handle 210 and the cylinder 230 and can conceptually be treated as part of the handle 210. Thus, the head 230 is connected with the far end 213 of the handle 210 (through the mouth 220).

[0055] the Cylinder 230 and the handle 220 of the toothbrush 200 is preferably formed as a single piece construction with the use of molding, milling, machining or other suitable process. However, in other embodiments, the implement, the handle 210 and the cylinder 230 may be formed as separate components that are functionally connected at a subsequent stage of the manufacturing process by any suitable process known in the art, including, without limitation, thermal or ultrasonic welding, tight fit, connecting sleeve, gluing or fasteners. The fact, have the cylinder 230 and the handle 210 one-piece or composite design (including technology joint is), does not limit the present invention unless explicitly specified. In some embodiment of the invention, the head 230 can be removed (and replaced) with the handle 210 using technologies known in the art.

[0056] the Cylinder 230, in General, includes the front surface 231, a rear surface 232 and the peripheral surface 233. The front surface 231 and the rear surface 232 of the head 230 can have a huge number of shapes and contours, none of which does not limit the present invention. For example, the front and back surfaces 231, 232 may be flat, contoured, or combinations of the above. In addition, if required, the rear surface 232 may also contain additional structures for cleaning the oral cavity or engagement with the teeth, for example, cleanser for the care of soft tissue or structure for polishing teeth. Example cleanser for the care of soft tissue is elastomeric pad that contains a lot of swelling and/or ridges. An example of a design for polishing teeth can be an elastomeric element, such as polishing nozzle(s) or elastomeric cleaning tools. In addition, while the cylinder 230 typically expands relative to the cap 220 of the handle 210, in some designs it may be simply a continuous extension or with the supply of the handle 210.

[0057] the Front surface 231 contains a set of elements for cleaning the oral cavity, such as the elements 235 for engagement with the teeth protruding from it, for cleaning and/or polishing contact with the surface of the oral cavity and/or interdental intervals. Although the set of elements 235 for engagement with the teeth preferably suitable for cleaning the teeth, a set of cleaning elements 235 may also be used to Polish the teeth instead of or in addition to brushing your teeth. When used in this document, the term "elements for engagement with the teeth" is used in a General sense as meaning any design that can be used for cleaning, polishing or wiping the teeth and/or soft tissue of the oral cavity (e.g., tongue, cheek, gums, etc.) through the relative surface contact. Well-known examples of elements for engagement with the teeth" include, without limitation, the tufts of bristles, filament bristles, fiber bristles, nylon bristles, spiral bristles, rubber bristles, elastomeric exaltation, flexible polymer elevation, a combination of these and/or structure containing such materials, or a combination. Suitable elastomeric materials include any biocompatible elastic material, suitable for use in the installation is to ensure the hygiene of the oral cavity. To provide optimum convenience and advantages of cleaning, the elastomeric material preferably has a property of hardness in the range of shore hardness from A8 to A25. One preferred elastomeric material is a block copolymers of styrene and ethylene/butylene and styrene (SEBS), manufactured by GLS Corporation. However, there may be used a material SEBS from other manufacturers or other materials within and outside the specified hardness range.

[0058] the Elements 235 for engagement with the teeth of the present invention can be connected with the cylinder 120 by any method known in the art. For example, staples/fasteners, forming beam forming (IFT) or the formation of beams without fasteners (AFT) can be used to set the cleaning elements/elements for engagement with the teeth. In AFT, plate or membrane is attached to the brush head, for example, by ultrasonic welding. The bristles go through the plate or membrane. The free ends of the bristles on one side of the plate or membrane to perform the cleaning function. The ends of the bristles on the other side of the plate or membrane fuse together by heat so that they are fixed in place. Any suitable form of cleaning elements can be used in wide practical is the first application of this invention. Alternatively, the bristles may be mounted on the blocks or sections of beams by passing through appropriate holes in the blocks, beams, so that the base of the bristles is mounted within or below the block beams.

[0059] the toothbrush 200 and the dispenser 300 is nazalnyj separate structures that are designed with the possibility of non-rigid bonding between each other in the assembled state (referred to in this document as a condition of storage) and complete separation from each other in a disassembled state (referred to in this document as application state). Toothbrush 200 and the dispenser 300 is illustrated in the condition storage Fig. 1 and 2 and in the state of the application in Fig. 3. The dispenser 300 can be controlled to move slidable between the state of storage (Fig. 1 and 2), in which the dispenser dock in part 210 of the toothbrush handle, and status of application (Fig. 3), in which the dispenser is removed from a portion 210 of the handle by the user as desired. Further more describes a system for docking dispenser for inserting and removing the dispenser 300 and the relevant structural elements of the toothbrush 200 and the dispenser 300, containing a system of snapping.

[0060] Referring now to Fig. 4 and 5 schematically illustrates the dispenser 300. The dispenser 300 has an elongated tubular structure in fo the IU pens. The dispenser 300 has a body 301, which is between the end 302 to capture (which conceptually can be considered as a near end) and a metering end 303 (which conceptually can be regarded as the far end). Annular groove 304 is formed in the outer surface 305 of the housing 301. Although the groove 304 is located about mid-point along the length of the housing 301, the groove 304 may be located on the housing 301 in any desired position. In addition, although the groove 304 is illustrated as a short channel formed in another embodiment, the groove can be formed by gradually decreasing the bending and/or contour of the housing 301.

[0061] the Housing 301 has an internal layer 306 and the outer layer 307. The inner layer 306 is preferably formed from a material that is rigid enough to provide the necessary structural integrity for the dispenser 300. For example, the inner layer may be made of a form of hard plastic. The preferred form of thermoplastics. Suitable plastics include polymers and copolymers of ethylene, propylene, butadiene, vinyl compounds and polyesters, for example polyethylene terephthalate. However, choosing plastic(and) should be compatible with the means to care for the oral cavity, i.e. must be stored in the dispenser 300, and should not hold it is to be given or to deteriorate through funds to care for the oral cavity.

[0062] the Outer layer 307 is preferably made of a soft elastic material, for example, elastomeric material. Suitable elastomeric materials include thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) or other similar materials used in products for oral care mouth. The elastomeric material of the outer layer 307 may have a measurement of hardness by means of a Durometer in the range between shore hardness from A13 to A50, although the materials outside this range can be used. The preferred range of the rating hardness Durometer is located between the shore hardness from A25 to A40. Although molded construction is preferred for the outer layer 307, suitable deformed thermoplastic material, for example, TPE, can be formed in a thin layer and to adhere to the inner layer 306 using an appropriate adhesive or by other means. However, it should be noted that in some embodiments of the invention, the housing 301 can be formed of a single layer of material.

[0063] Referring to Fig. 5 and 7A, the housing 301 generates an internal chamber which defines a compartment 308 to hold the required material or product to care for the oral cavity, which may be any active or inactive means to care for the oral cavity. Tool for the course for the oral cavity and/or the carrier may be of any shape, for example, solid or fluid material, which includes, without limitation, viscous pastes/gels or less viscous liquid compositions. Preferably, the means to care for the oral cavity is a fluid material in preferred variants of implementation. Any suitable means to care for the oral cavity can be used in the present invention. For example, the means to care for the oral cavity includes bleaching agents, including, without limitation, the peroxide containing compositions for whitening teeth. Suitable peroxide containing compositions for whitening teeth is disclosed in the patent (USA) serial number 11/403372, filed April 13, 2006 by the present assignee, which is hereby fully contained in this document by reference. Although the tool teeth whitening is one of the preferred active agents in the present invention, any other suitable other products can be used in embodiments implementing the present invention and, thus, be stored within the compartment 308. The means proposed to care for the oral cavity can be active or inactive ingredients, including, without limitation, antibacterial agents; oxidative or whitening means; means for strengthening or restoration of em who do; means to prevent erosion of the teeth; ingredients to reduce sensitivity; active substances for the health of the gums; food ingredients; ingredients for corrosion prevention and appearance of Tartar; enzymes; ingredients for recovery sensations, flavors or flavor ingredients; ingredients to freshen breath; means to reduce unpleasant mouth odor; means or gaskets to reduce the adhesiveness; diagnostic solutions; seal means; anti-inflammatory drugs; ingredients to relieve dryness of mouth; catalysts to enhance the activity of any of these funds; dyes or aesthetic ingredients; and combinations of the above. The way to care for your mouth in one embodiment preferably does not contain (i.e. is not) toothpaste. Instead, the active agent has the intention to provide the additional benefit of taking care of your oral cavity in addition to simple cleaning of the tooth. Other suitable means to care for the oral cavity may include lipstick or other materials that are typically available in semi-solid state.

[0064] the Compartment 308 is connected with the possibility of overflow of fluid from the applicator 309, which acts from desiroush the end 303 of the housing 301, through the feed channel 310. The input channel 310 delivers the means to care for the oral cavity of the compartment 308 in the applicator 309. Of course, in some embodiments, the implementation, the input channel may not be required or may simply be an extension cord compartment or space, connecting the compartment and the applicator (or hole at the end of the dosing). The user then presses and/or tert applicator 309 of the teeth to apply the means to care for the oral cavity to the teeth, preferably after brushing. The application process is largely similar to using a standard pen and/or marker.

[0065] the Applicator 309 may be formed of bristles, a porous or spongy material or fibrillated material. Suitable bristles include any standard material of the bristles, for example, nylon or PBT. Porous materials can be of any standard foamed material such as polyurethane foam. Fibrillated surface can consist of a variety of thermoplastics. When using a split feed channel 310 must file structure in place near the ends of the bristles. Usually there is a single input channel. For spongy and fibrillated surfaces are usually provided by the multiple channels of smaller diameter in order to more evenly distribute the composition on the teeth of the user. In the bottom of the embodiment, fibrillated material should be essentially flat surface, which has many protruding fibrils with a length of approximately 3 millimeters. Such fibrillated surface provides a surface minished. The invention, however, is not limited to this, and the applicator 309 can be any type of surface and/or configuration, which can apply the viscous material to a solid surface of the teeth that includes just an open hole/aperture.

[0066] the input channel 310 may be a cylindrical tube of appropriate size, having a hollow passage, or it may be formed of a porous material. The feed mechanism is active funds from the compartment 308 in the applicator 309 (or aperture on the end of the dosing) may be carried out strictly through capillary action, the action of mechanical or chemical pumping, compression/squeezing of the dispenser 300, the force of gravity and/or a combination of the above. In one embodiment, at least part of the housing 301 may be so designed that it is deformable in the transverse direction, so that the user can squeeze the dispenser 300, thereby increasing the pressure in the compartment 308 and forcibly ejecting means to care for the oral cavity outside the compartment 308 through the applicator 309. In this embodiment, in Donato which can be integrated one-way valve, to allow air to flow back into the compartment so that the body of the dispenser 301 returns to the uncompressed/undeformed condition after use. In other embodiments, implementation, piston mechanism can be used to supply the whitening means from the compartment 308 in the applicator 309. Of course, there can be used other mechanisms and actions in order to achieve the purpose of dispensing.

[0067] In the illustrated embodiment, the dispenser 300, the overflow chamber 311 is created about the dosing end 303 by adding the transverse wall 312. The transverse wall 312 separates and almost seals the compartment 308 from the overflow chamber 311. The input channel 310 goes through the transverse wall 312 and through an overflow chamber 311, thereby connecting with the possibility of overflow of the fluid compartment 308 with the applicator 309. Porous material, which has the form of a sleeve 313, may be placed within the overflow chamber 311. Overflow chamber 311 can minimize the overflow of the applicator 309 excessive amounts of money to care for the oral cavity or leakage from the dispenser 300. Overflow chamber 311 is not required in all versions of the implementation of the dispenser, depending on the feeding mechanism.

[0068] the details of the dispenser 300, described above, should not be considered limiting n the standing of the invention, if not explicitly set forth in the claims. It should be understood that structural details of the body of the dispenser and its system of liquid supply may differ.

[0069] However, in one embodiment, to make the system 100 oral care mouth is convenient for travel, compartment 308 and/or volume of active funds in the compartment can be chosen so that the system 100 of care for the oral cavity can be taken in the planes. From about 2002 the volume of liquid that can be taken on a plane in the U.S. and in other countries in the same container, limited, typically about 3 ounces of liquid. Compartment 308 and/or volume of active funds in the compartment 308 should be selected in accordance with the applicable regulatory standard, which may vary depending on country and/or time. Compartment 308 and/or volume of active funds in the compartment 308 may comprise at least 8 fluid ounces, which is enough for at least two weeks of use by the average user.

[0070] in Addition, in some embodiments of the invention, the applicator 309 may be omitted from the dispenser 300. In this embodiment, the desired material for the care of the mouth must be fed from the compartment 308 dispenser 300 through a simple orifice for metering the end 303. Depending on the type of material used to care for half the capacity of the mouth, this aperture can act as a nozzle or port for dispensing and/or ejection of the liquid or pasty material to care for the oral cavity to the desired surface of the oral cavity. This arrangement is particularly useful when combined with compressed/crushed relentlessly housing of the dispenser. In the variants of implementation, which uses a semi-solid material to care for the oral cavity, such as chapstick, aperture may simply provide a passage from the compartment, through which the semi-solid material to care for your mouth should be, or can be nominated and to get slidable through any suitable conventional axial or rotational extension mechanism.

[0071] Referring now to Fig. 6, 7A and 7B, describes the details of the toothbrush 200, which provides hosted the volume of the dispenser 300 in docking or storage. The handle 210 of the toothbrush 200 contains an internal cavity 240, which is of such size and shape that it can accommodate the dispenser 300. The cavity 240 is, in General, a tubular cavity that runs along the longitudinal axis A-A of the handle 210 and is defined by the inner surface/wall 241. Hole 215, which focused almost transversely and located on the near end 212 of the handle 210 in one embodiment, provides a passage from the outer part of the toothbrush 200 to the internal cavity 240. Hole 215 is of such a size and shape to enable the dispenser 300 to smoothly move in and out internally the cavity 240. The size and shape of the cavity 240, in General, correspond to the size and shape of the dispenser 300, as described below relative to Fig. 7A, soft and detachable manner fix the dispenser 300 in the framework of the handle 210.

[0072] the Cavity 240 contains a longitudinal section B and the longitudinal section C. Section B of the cavity 240 has a size and shape that it accommodates the housing 301 of the dispenser 300, while section C of the cavity 240 has a size and shape that it can hold the applicator 309 and far dosing end 303 of the dispenser 300. More specifically, the section B has a transverse and longitudinal profiles, cross-sections, which, in General, correspond to the transverse and longitudinal profiles, cross-sectional part of the housing 301 of the dispenser 300, which is inserted into the cavity 240. Similarly, section C has a transverse and longitudinal profiles, cross-sections, which, in General, correspond to the transverse and longitudinal profiles of the cross-section of the applicator 309 and far dosing end 303 of the housing 301 of the dispenser 300, which is inserted into the cavity 240. Of course, the invention is not limited to such compliance in all variants of implementation.

[0073] With further reference to Fig. 6, 7A and 7B, the cavity 240 is, in General, a wedge-shaped cross-section in a substantial portion of the longitudinal length of the cavity containing sections A and B, where the cross-section narrows when moving in the forward direction from the openings 25 to the far end 213 of the part 210 of the handle. Wedge-shaped cross-section of the cavity 240 simplifies the direction and centring of the dispenser 300 in the proper location and placement within the cavity 240 in the state of docking or storage. The cross-sectional area of the section C is preferably substantially less than the cross-sectional area of the section B, so that it coincides with the corresponding wedge-shaped form of the dispenser 300. As best shown in Fig. 6, in one embodiment, the plane of the opening 215 is preferably at an angle transversely relative to the longitudinal axis in order to further simplify the extraction and re-insertion of the spout into the cavity 240.

[0074] With further reference to Fig. 6, 7A and 7B, the inner wall 241 of the cavity 240 includes an annular protrusion 242, which is constructed with the opportunity loosely mates with the annular groove 304 of the dispenser 300 in storage. The annular protrusion 242 and the groove 304 provide a locking system for the removable fixing of the dispenser 300 in parts of the handle 210 of the toothbrush 200. In one possible embodiment, the annular protrusion 242 preferably has a convex shape in cross section, and the groove 304 may have complementary concave cross-section to facilitate smooth, but locking engagement between the protrusion and the groove (see Fig. 6 and 7A). Of course, other shapes and/or the characteristics of the interface may be used on the dispenser 300 and the wall 241 instead of the link groove/ledge for the removable fixing of the dispenser 300 in parts of the handle 210 of the toothbrush 200. The annular protrusion 242 is capable of forming the transition between the section B and section C of the cavity 240, as shown.

[0075] With further reference to Fig. 6, 7A and 7B, the inner wall 241 of the cavity 240 also may include an annular shoulder 243, which preferably is located near the far end 213 of the part 210 of the handle, as shown. The annular shoulder 243 provides a protruding structure, which forms a less far-sectional area of section C in the shape of the end slot of the applicator 400 near the far end 213 of the part 210 of the handle. Although the annular flange 243 is illustrated as a rectangular corner or edge, it can take many forms and profiles or contours of the cross-section, includes an angular edge, a curved radius or arcuate edge, etc. Annular flange 243 is configured to mutually engage far dosing end 303 of the dispenser 300 when fully inserted into the cavity 240. It provides a retainer for the dosing end 303 of the housing 301 of the dispenser 300 in order to prevent excessive insertion and contact between the front transverse/vertical far end wall 401 of the inner wall 241 of the cavity and the free end of the applicator 309, which may lead to "leakage" or the diversion of funds to care for the oral cavity of the dispenser into the cavity, causing pollution and loss of cf is DSTV to care for the oral cavity. Accordingly, the annular shoulder 243 preferably creates a small gap between the free end of the applicator 309 and the far end wall 401 cavity 241 (see Fig. 7B). The socket 400 is preferably additionally has such a configuration and size to receive the applicator 309, and may, in General, conform to the shape and size of the applicator when providing a suitable clearance around the circumference between them so as to prevent lateral engagement between the applicator and the end socket 400 to prevent leakage. Of course, in some embodiments of the invention, the annular flange can be omitted, and the cavity 241 and the dispenser 300 preferably may be mutually executed so that there remains a small gap between the end of the applicator 309 and the far end wall 401 of the cavity when the dispenser 300 is fully fit and dock in the cavity 241 part of the handle 210 of the toothbrush 200. The annular flange 243 and its constructive relationship with the dispenser 300 are described in more detail below.

[0076] Referring now at the same time in Fig. 7A and 7B, explained more constructive relationship between the dispenser 300 and toothbrush 200 in storage. As illustrated, the system 100 oral care mouth is in a state of storage. In storage, the dispenser 300 is slidable in before the lah cavity 240 of the handle 210 of the toothbrush 200, as is illustrated. A large part of the length of the dispenser 300 is inserted within the cavity 240 toothbrush, and most preferably at least 75% of the length of the dispenser 300 is inserted within the cavity 240 of the toothbrush 200.

[0077] In the state of docking or storage annular groove 304 of the dispenser 300 conjugate takes annular protrusion 242 of the inner wall 241 of the cavity 240, thereby loosely securing the dispenser 300 in place. A pair of grooves 304 and the protrusion 242 secures the spout in place until, until the user applies sufficient force to overcome the relationship at the interface between the groove 304 and the protrusion 242, thereby removing the dispenser 300 toothbrush 200 for use. The exact force required to overcome the paired engagement, informed by the relevant dimensions and tolerances of the groove 304 and the protrusion 242.

[0078] the Elastic outer layer 307 dispenser further streamlines the flow fastening between the dispenser 300 and toothbrush 200 in that the outer layer 307 is compressed by the protrusion 242 and/or other parts of the inner wall 241. In addition, the compression of the elastic outer layer 307 increases the amount of force required to overcome the frictional contact between the inner wall 241 and the outer surface 305 of the housing 301 of the dispenser 300.

[0079] the Coupling between the groove 304 and the protrusion 242 also performs another function in that what is the relationship when the pair forms a tight seal between the wall 242 and the outer surface 305 of the dispenser 300. This tight seal prevents the entry of water and other liquids, which can compromise the integrity of the applicator 309 and/or the activity of the preparations for the care of the oral cavity, the cavity 240. The compression of the elastic outer layer 307 also contributes to this effect. In addition to preventing the entry of water and other undesirable fluids into the cavity 240, when the dispenser is in the storage, airtight seal also prevents drying of the applicator during periods of disuse.

[0080] In the state of docking or storage, the annular shoulder 243 also facilitates the achievement of maintaining the integrity of the applicator 309 and means to care for the oral cavity during periods of non-use and/or brushing your teeth with a toothbrush 200. More specifically, in the storage, the annular shoulder 243 contacts (and slightly compresses) with the outer surface 305 of the housing 301, thereby forming a second hermetic seal and/or a partition that isolates the section C of the internal cavity from section B of the cavity 240. Thus, there are two hermetic seal that protects the section C and the applicator 309 from the external environment in the state storage. Of course, only one or the other of these seals which can be used. In addition, the hermetic seal may also be formed by simple contact between the outer surface 305 of the dispenser 300 and the inner wall 241.

[0081] the Hermetic seal formed by the annular flange may be particularly useful to prevent unwanted leakage and/or drying of the applicator 309 due to the small amount of free volume available in section C of the cavity 240. In other embodiments, the implementation, the dispenser 300 can be loosely secured within cavity 240 toothbrush 200 is sealed by means of a simple hand-fit and/or frictional surface contact between the dispenser and the inner wall 241.

[0082] Referring now to Fig. 8, an alternative implementation of the dispenser 300A is illustrated according to the present invention. The dispenser 300A is identical to the dispenser 300 in Fig. 4 and 5 except that the metering end 303A is configured to be attached to the cap 330A, and formed of a single layer 306A material. To avoid redundancy, detailed explanation of those components of the dispenser 300, which are virtually identical to the components of the dispenser 100 is omitted. However, for the purposes of treatment and ensure clarity, similar numbers are used to identify similar parts for excluding the rising add alphabetic suffix "A".

[0083] the Metering end 303A of the body 301A of the dispenser 300A includes a surface feature (in the form of annular grooves 315A) to mate with a corresponding structure (in the form of an annular ledge 331A). The coupling between the ring groove 215A body 301A with the annular ledge 331A of the cap 330A loosely attaches the cap 330A to the body 301A, thereby closing the applicator 309A in order to prevent leakage and/or drying of the active tool. Although the diffuser Assembly design of the grooves/protrusions are illustrated as holding the cap 330A in place, can be used other surface indications and designs that can conjugate to anchor and/or interact with each other. Design and methods of attaching the cap to the tubular body known in this technical field.

[0084] the Body 301A of the dispenser 300A is also the design of a single layer 306A. The material of one layer 306A should provide the necessary structural rigidity and to be compatible with the means to care for the oral cavity.

[0085] Referring now to Fig. 9, illustrated toothbrush 200A, specially designed with the ability to accommodate the dispenser 300A with wearing the cap 330A. Toothbrush 200A is identical to the toothbrush 200 in Fig. 1-7B, except that the inner cavity 240A has a different shape, so h is about it accommodates the dispenser 300A with the cap 330A. To avoid redundancy, detailed explanation of those components of the toothbrush 200, which are virtually identical to the components of the toothbrush 200 is omitted. However, for the purposes of treatment and ensure clarity, similar numbers are used to identify similar parts with the exception of adding a letter suffix "A".

[0086] the Internal cavity 240 toothbrush 200A has a section C, which is designed with the ability to accommodate the cap 330A of the dispenser 300A. Since the cavity 240A holds the dispenser 300 with attached cap 330A, there is no need to incorporate the flange into the wall 241A, because the cap 330A generates a second hermetic seal applicator 309A. The dispenser 300A (with the cap 330A) is shown in the storage position in the toothbrush 200A in Fig. 10.

[0087] Referring now at the same time in Fig. 11-13, illustrated toothbrush 200B, specially designed with the ability to accommodate the dispenser 300A without wearing cap 330A. Toothbrush 200B is identical to the toothbrush 200 in Fig. 1-7B, except that the section C of the internal cavity 240B has a different shape, so that it holds the dispenser 300A without the cap 330A. To avoid redundancy, detailed explanation of those components toothbrush 200B, which are virtually identical to the components of the toothbrush 200, omits the I. However, for the purposes of treatment and ensure clarity, similar numbers are used to identify similar parts with the exception of adding the letter "B"suffix.

[0088] Section C of the cavity 240B designed with the ability to accommodate the applicator 309A of the dispenser 300A without the cap. Of great interest is the fact that the section C of the cavity 240B specially designed with the ability to mate with the annular groove 315 located on the dispensing end 303 of the dispenser 300A. In particular, the internal wall 241B further comprises an annular protrusion 244B, located in section C of the cavity 240B. When the dispenser 300A is in the state storage (without cap) in the toothbrush 200B, the annular protrusion 244B mates with the annular groove 315B dispenser 300B, thereby sealing and closing the applicator 309A.

[0089] Conceptually, the inner wall section 240B C cavity 240B has a contour identical with the design of the cap 330A. Thus, even if the cap 330A is removed, achieved the same level of protection and careful storage of the applicator 309A (and active). As a result, the groove 304A may be omitted if necessary. Identical surface feature (illustrated as a groove 315A) of the dispenser 300A can be used to: (1) to secure the cap 330A to protect applicato the 309A during delivery and/or sale; (2) to simplify non-rigid fixation of the dispenser 300A within the cavity 240B in the condition storage; and (3) to seal and protect the applicator 309A in the storage.

[0090] As a result of the above replacement of the cap 330A and section C of the cavity 240A, the system 100B care for the oral cavity is particularly suitable for sale as a kit. Spare dispensers 300A can be sold without having to monitor the cap 330A after he extracted and used with a toothbrush 200B.

[0091] the System 100 of care for the oral cavity according to Fig. 1-7B can also be sold as a kit. Any kit can include at least one toothbrush 200 and one dispenser 300, the retaining means to care for the oral cavity. In other embodiments, the implementation, the kit may include at least one toothbrush 200 and many dispensers 300, each dispenser holds 300 different recipes funds to care for the oral cavity (for example, to whiten, to protect the enamel to reduce sensitivity, fluoride to protect against Tartar and so on). Dispensers 300 may additionally be marked with signs and/or color-coding to identify and meet the specific formulation for oral care mouth contained inside. In yet some additional embodiments implementing the Tulane kit, toothbrush 200 may have a user-replaceable head 230, and the kit may include one or preferably several such heads for different types and/or configurations of elements 235 for gear/teeth cleaning and/or cleansing products for the language.

[0092] Referring now at the same time in Fig. 14 and 15, the illustrated system 100C and 100D care for the oral cavity. System 100C and 100D care for the oral cavity are identical to the system 100 of care for the oral cavity according to Fig. 1-7B, except that the ends 302B, C to capture the dispenser 300B, C are of the form that the user can easily capture dispensers 300B, C for extraction of the toothbrush 200. Dispenser 300B has an extending end, while the dispenser 300C has a convex end.

[0093] Fig. 16-34 show an alternative implementation of systems of care for the oral cavity according to the present invention, which can be a system 500 for oral care mouth in some embodiments, implementation. In this embodiment, as further described below, the handle of the toothbrush has a longitudinally elongated opening leading to the cavity, configured to removable receive the dispenser. The hole in this alternative the handle of the toothbrush is formed along a substantial longitudinal part of the handle, while the hole 215 in part 210 of the handle dental Sch the TCA 200, the above described relative to the system 100 (see, for example, Fig. 6), is actually near end 212 of the handle pieces and axially aligns with the longitudinal axis. In addition, while the dispenser 300 funds to care for the oral cavity essentially axially inserted and removed from the handle 210 and the internal cavity 240, the dispenser in this alternative embodiment 500 of the implementation of systems of care for the oral cavity can be inserted at least partially transverse/perpendicular to the handle for placing and installation. In addition, as further described in this document for this alternative implementation, the dispenser may form a substantial part of the toothbrush handle, which is grasped by the user, thereby mainly providing easy access and convenient use of the dispenser.

[0094] Initially referring now to Fig. 16-19, an alternative 500 implementation of systems of care for the oral cavity, in General, includes toothbrush 600 and the dispenser 700, removable image located in it. Toothbrush 600 and the dispenser 700, in General, can be similar to the toothbrush 200 and the dispenser 300 in design, manufacture and functionality of the system 100 of care for the oral cavity and its components, as already described in this document, except for the differences specifically noted in negative nom the description of a system 500 for oral care mouth.

[0095] the Dispenser 700 can switch between the storage shown in Fig. 16, in which the dispenser dock or mounted in the handle 610 toothbrush, and a state of use shown in Fig. 17, in which the dispenser 700 is removed or extracted from the handle 610 and is ready for use in the mode of care for the oral cavity.

[0096] With further reference to Fig. 16-20, toothbrush 600, in General, includes part of the handle 610, part 620 neck portion 630 of the head. The handle 610 may be a single or composite structure. The handle 610 is from the middle end 612 to the far end 613 along the longitudinal axis A-A. the Handle 610 includes the upper part 660, forming the upper surface or side 652, the lower part 661, which forms a bottom surface or side 653, and a pair of opposing and spaced apart peripheral or lateral surfaces or sides, 650, 651, running between the upper and lower sides. The upper part of the handle 660 610 is rigidly attached to the far end 613 of the handle (i.e. the far part 661 casing in one embodiment) and is longitudinally back to the middle end of the handle 612 610. Accordingly, as further explained in this document, the upper part 660 forms a cantilever portion of the handle 610, which is removable manner engages and supports the dispenser 700. The handle 610 enters the mouth 620 at its outer end 613 of the handle, which supports the supports the cylinder 630 toothbrush through the handle 610. Although the neck 620, in General, may have a smaller cross-sectional area relative to the handle 620, the invention is not limited to this.

[0097] With further reference to Fig. 16-20, the head 630 toothbrush, mouth 620 and the handle 610 toothbrush 600 may be formed as a single piece construction or, in other embodiments, implementation, these parts may be formed as separate structures that are going to hard or removable. In some embodiments, the implementation, the head 630 may be removable manner attached to the neck 620, thereby forming user-replaceable head that allows the user to replace the head with worn items for gear/teeth cleaning or to change the head having cleaning elements of an alternative type. Head 630, in General, includes a front surface 631, a rear surface 632 and the transverse or peripheral surface 633. The front surface 631 contains many elements for cleaning the oral cavity, such as the elements 635 for engagement with the teeth protruding from it, for contact with the surface of the oral cavity and/or interdental intervals. Elements 635 for engagement with the teeth can, in General, be formed from different types of cleaning elements, for example, already described herein with respect to the elements 235 for engagement with the teeth.

[0098] Referring N. the Fig. 16-22, in the preferred exemplary embodiments of the implement, the handle 610 includes a removable portion that defines and encloses a pocket dispenser 700, made with the ability to contain and dispense a product to take care of the oral cavity on the target surface in the oral cavity of the user. Accordingly, a substantial portion, and preferably, a large part of the handle 610 toothbrush has such a cross section along the circumference and a longitudinal cross section that it forms almost completely open running longitudinally elongated cavity 640 with a hole 615 to pass along the transverse sides 650, 651 and the lower part 653 of the handle 610 for removable reception and support of the dispenser 700. Hole 615 is axially and transversely to the longitudinal axis A-A of the handle 610 toothbrush so that the middle end 612, a transverse side 650, 651 and bottom sides 653 toothbrush handle are almost open design, with only the top side 652 is a closed structure, as best shown in Fig. 20 and 22. When the dispenser 700 is installed in the handle 610 tooth brush, dispenser 700, and more specifically, the housing 701 contains the main part of the handle 610 toothbrush in this alternative exemplary system 500 for oral care mouth, as shown. In one embodiment, the housing 701 of the dispenser 700 generates in fact a large part of the lower part or half of the handle 610 C is service wiper blade. The handle 610 toothbrush, therefore, has only the upper portion 660 and a partial side 652 in the areas adjacent to the cavity 640 thereby opening the lower part of the upper side of the handle 652. The upper side 652 of the handle 610, therefore, provides just a supporting frame or a frame for mounting the dispenser 700 below toothbrush 600, the dispenser 700 replaces and forms a large part of the transverse sides, 650, 651, and the lower side of 653 toothbrush handle except for the most distant part of the handle near the transition in part 620 of the neck. Mainly, unlike the implementation shown in Fig. 1-3, the maximum cross-sectional dimension or diameter of the housing 701 of the dispenser 700 is not limited by the lateral dimension or diameter of the handle of the toothbrush, in contrast to the handle 210 (see Fig. 1-3 and 7A), which shall be of such size to accommodate a substantial portion of the dispenser 300, as shown. In certain cases, if required, this allows the maximum possible increase the size of the dispenser 700 and associated volumetric capacity of the compartment 708 restriction mainly through only the target total size selected for the toothbrush 600, which should comfortably fit in the hand of the user.

[0099] Referring mainly to Fig. 17, 20 and 31, the handle 610 toothbrush, and more specifically, the upper side 652 ass is no peripheral transverse, the rear and front mounting region 655, which are of such configuration and size that they mate and engage corresponding peripheral locating edge 763 on Tulare 701 of the spout, as best shown in Fig. 23-24 and 34, when the dispenser is attached to the toothbrush 600. Preferably, the edges of 655 and 763 of the handle 610 and the housing 701 of the spout, respectively, are mutually aligned so that they form a relatively smooth combined peripheral surface when connecting to maintain a smooth transition between the handle 610 and the housing 701 of the spout for the user's convenience. In some embodiments, the implementation of all or part of the peripheral edges installation 763 on the dispenser 700 may be formed on the elastic soft grip 753, additionally described herein elsewhere. The bottom surface 753 of the dispenser 700 also preferably has a contour that she gradually turns into a corresponding mating surface 653 of the handle 610.

[0100] Referring now to Fig. 17, 20, 22 and 28, the exemplary embodiments of the cavity 640 with a hole 615 for passage in the handle 610 toothbrush, have an axial length L (Fig. 20), which is preferably at least half the axial length of the handle 610, measured between the far end 613 and the middle end 612, and more preferably, greater part of the length of the handle to maximizer is to the volumetric capacity of the storage compartment 708 dispenser 700 and simplify the capture of the dispenser. In preferred exemplary embodiments, implementation, hole 615 and the corresponding cavity 640 are approximately more than half of the height H and the circumference of the handle 610, as shown in Fig. 22.

[0101] The front part of the cavity 640 preferably covered circumferentially by the far end 613 of the handle 610 toothbrush, as best shown in Fig. 20, 22 and 28, so that it forms, in General, the tubular portion 656 of the housing, configured to receive far dosing end 703 and the applicator 709 dispenser 700. This fully-enclosed portion 656 of the housing facilitates reliable snap dispenser 700 in the handle 610 and protects the applicator 709 from damage when the dispenser is attached in a state of docking or storage to the toothbrush 600. Far or front end portion 656 of the casing is closed, while the rear end of the housing is open to accept far dosing end 703 of the dispenser. In some embodiments, implementation, slot 654 may be provided in the front end portion 656 of the housing in the cavity 640, which is configured to receive the axially protruding stub 750, located in the applicator 709 (see Fig. 29), to further facilitate securing the far dosing end 703.

[0102] the Rear of the dispenser 700 detachable manner is attached to the handle 610 toothbrush through operasi mechanism, located towards the middle end of the handle 612. Referring to Fig. 20, 23, 24, 31-33, locking mechanism 800 dispenser may consist of a locking arrangement of the combined effect of the tabs and slots in one exemplary embodiment. The housing 701 of the spout includes a pair of transverse/perpendicular to the spaced apart mounting grooves 800, which is configured to accept a pair of transversely spaced mounting pads 801, located on the handle 610 toothbrush. In one embodiment, the mounting tabs 801 are arranged on the lower side of the upper side 652 of the housing 610 toothbrush and protrude inwards towards the longitudinal axis A-A, and include the front extended section 802 and the rear tapered section 803, as best shown in Fig. 31. The installation groove 800, respectively, includes the front extended section 804 and the rear tapered section 805, as best shown in Fig. 32 and 33. Locking groove 800 additionally includes locking thickening 806, located in the rear section 805, which is transverse/perpendicular to the outside of the dispenser 700. When the dispenser 700 is mounted on the handle 610 toothbrush, the extended section 802 of the installation tabs 801 is placed in the desired position and gears corresponding extended section 804 of the installation groove 800, and narrowed section 803 set the adjustment tabs 801 is placed in the desired position and gears corresponding tapered section 805 of the installation groove 800. Stopping the thickening 806 installation groove of the friction gears in the rear part of the narrowed section 803 of the installation tabs 801 to removable but securely attach the dispenser 700 to the handle 610 toothbrush after a characteristic effect of "place". Because the upper side of the handle 652 610 toothbrush near the cavity 640 preferably has a relatively small thickness so that it is at least partially elastic to some extent, the handle of the toothbrush can bend transverse/perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A-A in response to the insertion of the dispenser 700, when the mounting tabs 801 gear alignment slots 800. Advanced section 802 installation of pads 801 seek to engage the housing of the dispenser first before skinny sections 803. Section 803 accepted locking part 807 groove below 800 stopping thickening 806, and they spring (or snap) back inside the location to complete the installation. Fig. 29 and 30 are views in cross section showing the dispenser 700, fully placed or mounted in the handle 610 toothbrush.

[0103] Next is described the dispenser 700. Fig. 23-26 show various views of an alternative dispenser 700, while Fig. 26 is a view in longitudinal cross-section of the dispenser 700. In one embodiment, the dispenser 700 is elongated and generally tubular design is the s pen-shaped, which may be similar to the dispenser 300, already described in this document (see Fig. 5, 7A and 7B), on the functionality and overall design. Some signs of dispenser 700 includes a mounting mechanism for removable installation on the handle 610, configuration, and other characteristics, however, modified as described in more details below.

[0104] With further reference to Fig. 23-26, the dispenser 700 includes a housing 701, which is between the middle end 702 and far metering end 703. As already noted in this document, the housing 701 may be considered as forming essentially a removable portion of the handle 610 toothbrush. In some embodiments, the implementation, the housing 701 may include inner and outer layers similar to the inner layer 306 and the outer layer 307 of the housing 301, shown in Fig. 5. Alternatively, in the embodiment, as best shown in Fig. 26, the housing 701 has a design with a relatively single-layer shell, preferably formed of rigid material, which may be relatively hard solid plastic/polymer, such as thermoplastic, similar to the materials already described herein relative to the inner layer 306 of the housing 301. This provides structural rigidity to the dispenser 700. In some embodiments, the implementation of at least part of the housing 71 may include elastically deformable flexible portion, to enable the user to compress under the pressure of the contents of the dispenser to supply active preparations for the care of the mouth.

[0105] Optionally, in some embodiments, the implementation of at least part of the external side of the housing 701 may include a soft, non-slip elastic grip 752 formed of such material as the elastomer (for example, as already described in this document relative to the outer layer 307 casing 301)to provide non-slip and comfortable surface to grip to the user. Because in this alternative embodiment 500 of the implementation of systems of care for oral dispenser 700 replaces and forms a functional part of the handle 610 toothbrush, elastic grip 752 in some embodiments, the implementation preferably covers at least a portion, and more preferably, most of the exposed parts of the dispenser 700 when installed in the handle 710. This simplifies the extraction and re-insertion of the dispenser 700 in the handle 610 toothbrush by the user, providing an easy grip dispenser 700, in particular, wet hands after brushing. In at least one embodiment, the capture 752 may cover a large part of the lower half of the dispenser 700 and housing 701, which includes the bottom surface or side 753 and part of side surfaces of the sludge the parties 754, 755 body (see, for example, Fig. 21, 23-26, 34). Capture 752 should not cover the top surface or side 766 or the far end of the dispenser 703 dispenser, because these parts must be inserted into the handle 610 toothbrush when the dispenser is placed in the handle. Elastic grip 752 may be attached to the body 701 by any suitable conventional means used in the art and already described in this document, including, without limitation, joint molding and adhesives.

[0106] With further reference to Fig. 23-26, the housing 701 generates an internal chamber which defines a compartment 708 to hold the required funds to care for the oral cavity. Means for care of the oral cavity, which can be used have already been described herein in detail. Compartment 708 is connected with the possibility of overflow of fluid from the applicator 709, which is forward of the dispensing end 703 of the housing 701. In this embodiment, the dispenser 700, the equivalents of the feed channel 310 and overflow chamber 311 (see, for example, Fig. 4 and the description in this document) are omitted. Instead, the means to care for the oral cavity containing fluid is in direct contact with the applicator 709, as best shown in Fig. 26 and 29. The applicator 709 may include internal feed tube 756, which communicates with the capability, the capacity of the overflow of fluid from the compartment 708, to facilitate uniform wetting of the applicator with the means to care for the oral cavity.

[0107] Referring to Fig. 23-26 and 29, the applicator 709 may be formed of bristles, a porous or spongy material or fibrillated material, similar to the applicator 309, already described in this document. The applicator 709 includes part 757 stem in one embodiment, which is taken in and friction gears far dosing end 703 to hold the applicator in the housing 701. The applicator 709 additionally includes a cap 750, which is accepted and a removable manner is retained in the applicator. In one embodiment, the cover 750 may be formed from polypropylene or elastomeric material, examples of which are described in this document. In one possible exemplary embodiment, the plug 750 includes a front cylinder 762 and related running back rod 760, which is removable image is taken in the axial aperture, for example, in the passage 758 formed in the front end of the applicator 709.

[0108] the Passage 758 communicates with the possibility of overflow of fluid from the feed tube 756 applicator 709 and provides an aperture for dispensing fluid funds to care for the oral cavity or other means to care for the oral cavity of the dispenser 700. Prepact the tion, pass 758 has a smaller inner diameter cross-section and the flow area than the adjacent feeding tube 756 to restrict and regulate the flow of funds to care for the oral cavity of the dispenser 700. On the basis of the viscosity of the fluid means to care for the oral cavity, supplied through a metering device, specialists in the art can easily determine the appropriate inner diameter (i.e. the size of the aperture for passage 758 to set the desired flow dispensing product to the user. Unlike porous applicator 309 shown in Fig. 4, which does not have an open feed tube or passage that goes completely through the applicator out, batching system through the aperture used in the applicator 709, mainly better suited for dispensing more viscous tools or products to care for the oral cavity, such as gels and pastes.

[0109] With further reference to Fig. 23-26 and 29, the plug 750, which includes the head 762 and rod 760, can have, in General, a cylindrical shape. Cover 750 may further include an annular flange 761, to prevent excessive insertion of the plug to pass 758 (see Fig. 26 and 29).

[0110] With additional reference now to Fig. 28 and 29, removable end cap 750 may further include a multitude of radially protruding flexible number is zevah edges 751, which perform several functions. Fin 751 is configured to elastically deform and friction catch complementary configured cylindrical socket 654, located inside the handle 610 toothbrush around the far end of 613 in the most anterior part of the inner cavity 640. Fin 751 removable way fix far dosing end 703 in the handle of the toothbrush 701. Cap 750 additionally provides additional benefits, including the prevention of spills funds to care for the oral cavity during filling of the dispenser 700 at the time of manufacture, reducing the likelihood of leakage of funds to care for the oral cavity after the stage of manufacture and maintenance of the open tip of the applicator 709 clean between uses by the user.

[0111] Referring to Fig. 26, 27 and 34, the portion of the back or middle end 702 of the dispenser 700 includes an attachable cap 900, which seals the near end 702 of the dispenser. The cap 900 may be formed from a resilient elastomeric material, in some embodiments, implementation and acts as a push button to advance the inner rod 904 mechanism of the dispenser 700 and thereby to release the means to care for the oral cavity through the applicator 709. The cap 900 is compressed to perform the function of moving forward, and ZAT is m returns to its original form. The cap also provides user convenience and when the toothbrush 600 is used in the mode of brushing your teeth with dispenser 700, is completely pushed into her, and then, when the dispenser 700 is detached from a toothbrush to apply the funds to care for the oral cavity to the teeth. In one embodiment, the cap 900 preferably includes an annular flange 901, which gears the groove formed in the middle or rear end of the dispenser 700. Flange 901 preferably made of a more rigid material than the cap 900 to primarily provide a surface for insertion of the cap firmly in position on the dispenser 700 after the dispenser is filled with means to care for the oral cavity during the manufacturing process. Near the end 702 of the housing 701 of the dispenser may include one or more raised protrusions 765, located near the ring edge 764, which engage the corresponding one or more annular grooves 902 (see Fig. 27) on the cap 900 to secure the cap and providing an impermeable rear seal dispenser. In some embodiments, the implementation, as shown, running axially forward rod 904 may be mounted on the cap 900 for further securing the cap on Tulare 701 of the spout. As best shown in Fig. 27, the rod 904 may in locate plenty of axially spaced teeth, which are made with the ability to hook retention mechanism 905, located near end 702 of the dispenser 700.

[0112] Next, briefly describes an exemplary method of use of the toothbrush 600 and dispenser 700. The dispenser 700 with a plug 650 is filled with material to care for the oral cavity and inserted into the toothbrush 600. Toothbrush 600 with dispenser 700 in storage, as shown in Fig. 16, is provided to the user. The dispenser 700 is fully placed and secured in the handle 610 toothbrush, as shown, using the locking engagement of the rear portion of the chassis 701 near the middle end 702 via console upper part of the handle 660 610 (via mounting tabs 801 and locking thickening 806, shown in Fig. 31-33) and frictional engagement with the slidable far dosing end 703 by part 656 of the housing of the handle (see Fig. 29). After the user finishes brushing 600, or alternatively, before brushing the user grasps the housing 701 of the spout (preferably in part 752 of capture if any) and pulls the near side of the dispenser 700 around or near end 702 outward and in the direction from the handle 610 toothbrush by application of force F is initially in the direction, in General, transverse to the longitudinal axis A-A. Since the far end of the dispenser 703 still fits the part 656 of the housing of the handle 610 toothbrush (see, for example, in Fig. 29), this is the initial action applied by the user is turning action when the end of the dispenser acts as a turning point. The rear or near half of the dispenser, therefore, must rotate in an arcuate path initially in the direction from the handle 610 toothbrush (see, for example, Fig. 16 and the applied force F), at an angle relative to the toothbrush handle and the longitudinal axis A-A. Locking thickening 806 housing 701 of the spout release the mounting tabs 801 on the handle 610 toothbrush (see Fig. 31-33), and the mounting tabs are extracted from the installation grooves 800 housing of the dispenser. This detaches the near end 702 of the dispenser 700 from the handle 610 toothbrush. The user may then open or extract the far end of the dispenser 703 of part 656 of the housing of the handle 610 toothbrush through a smooth movement of the dispenser 700 back, in General, in the axial direction along the longitudinal axis A-A towards the back or middle end of the handle 612. Cap 750 dispenser 700 is near the applicator 709 is stored in the slot 654 in the handle 610 toothbrush, thus opening the applicator. The user can then completely remove the dispenser 700 of the toothbrush 600, as shown in Fig. 17, which is now in a state of use when fully disconnected from the toothbrush. The user then applies the means to care for the cavity of the mouth to the teeth and/or other parts of the oral cavity as needed using the applicator.

[0113] to re-insert the dispenser 700 back into the handle 610 toothbrush, the user simply repeats the above steps in reverse order. The dispenser 700 then returns to the storage shown in Fig. 16. It should be noted that although the dispenser 300 is removed and re-inserted into the toothbrush 200 by application only axial forces and movements to the dispenser, the dispenser 700 is removed from the toothbrush 600 through a combination of forces and movements, transverse as well as axial, as described above.

[0114] According to another aspect of the invention, the handle 610 toothbrush may further include a box 657, as best shown in Fig. 19. In the preferred exemplary embodiment, the window 657 may consist of relatively light and transparent insert 658, which is located in the aperture 659 in the handle 610, having a complementary shape relative to the insertion. Window box 658 may be formed as a separate part and join the handle 610 by any suitable means used in the art, such as adhesives, heat or ultrasonic welding, or may be molded together with the handle. Preferably, the box 657 is placed on the handle 610 toothbrush, so that at least part of the applicator 709 dispenser 700 is visible through the window when the dispenser 70 is installed in the handle 710. The box 657 informs the customer/user that another product is placed in the toothbrush 600. Some possible options for implementation, can be available in various dispensers 700, which includes a variety of tools, or formulas to care for the oral cavity (e.g., bleaching, to protect the enamel to reduce sensitivity, taste etc). The applicator 709 and/or far dosing end 703 of the housing 701 of the spout may be subjected to color coding and/or include characters that match a specific type of recipe means to care for the oral cavity that is contained within. This should enable the user to quickly identify what the recipe at the moment is contained in the dispenser 700, placed in the toothbrush 600. Such dispensers 700 of another type can be included, as already described in this document in respect of the toothbrush 200 and the dispenser 300.
