Description

The present invention relates to a disposable mini toothbrush with a

  dose of toothpaste integrated to facilitate brushing.

  Traditionally, to deposit toothpaste on a toothbrush, you need to have both a tube of toothpaste and a brush, which is not always easy in certain situations (out of home, you have to take at the same time a brush and toothpaste, which takes up space and implies that after use, the toothbrush should be put back wet in a bag or in the pocket).

  In addition, the use of a brush and a tube may be difficult for some people who are injured or disabled.

  The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy these drawbacks. It comprises in fact according to a first feature, a disposable toothbrush, of reduced size thanks to a telescopic system, equipped with a dose of integrated toothpaste. A housing located above the bristles of the toothbrush, pierced with holes in its lower part, stores the toothpaste. A push button equipped with an integrated plate allows the evacuation of the toothpaste. It slides through a light, so when the user presses this push button, the plate expels the toothpaste stored in the housing. It flows through the holes between the bristles of the toothbrush. Thanks to its conical shape and to different perimeters between the ends of the handle (1) and the brush part (2), the handle (1) prevents the total extraction of the brush (2) and at the same time the brush (2). ) can retract into the handle (1).

  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents in section, the device of the invention in the retracted position.

  Figure 2 shows in section, the device of the invention in use position.

  Referring to these drawings, the mini disposable toothbrush with integrated toothpaste has a handle (1). A push button (6) made in one part, slides through a light (9). It is equipped with a plate (8) which allows the expulsion of the toothpaste (3) contained in a housing (7) mounted on a portion, brush (2). This expulsion takes place through orifices (4) through which d dentifrice (3) flows to feed the bristles (5) of the toothbrush. The brush portion (2) will be reduced in thickness at the middle, to facilitate access of the brush head to the bottom teeth. This mini disposable toothbrush with integrated toothpaste is mainly composed of recyclable materials preferably in cardboard. The assembly and assembly of the handle (1), the brush part (2), the push button (6) and its integrated plate (8) will be done by folding and gluing precut pieces using 3 templates determined.

  The bristles constituting the brush will be implanted directly on the lower part of the body of the brush.

  So that the invention is susceptible of industrial application, it will be possible to use 3 templates (the 1st for the handle, the 2nd for the brush, the 3rd for the push button with the plate). They will allow to reproduce to infinity the different parts, by a system of cutting by press. Then it will be necessary to ensure assembly and assembly manually or mechanized.

  By way of non-limiting example, the disposable toothbrush will have length dimensions of the order of 8 cm in the retracted position and 13 cm in the position of use. The width will be 1.3 cm at the end of the handle and 1.6 cm at the level of the head. The dis-positive according to the invention is disposable and integrates perfectly with our environment thanks to the composition of these recyclable materials.
