DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention will be understood from the following detailed description of embodiments of the invention, which are meant to be descriptive and not limiting. For the sake of brevity, some well-known features are not described in detail.

The reference numbers have been used to point out elements in the embodiments described and illustrated herein, in order to facilitate the understanding of the invention. They are meant to be merely illustrative, and not limiting. Also, the 25 320686/2 - 3 - foregoing embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated in conjunction with systems and methods thereof, which are meant to be merely illustrative, and not limiting.

An electric toothbrush includes a toothbrush. Removing the brush from the electric mechanism and the body of the brush, allows the insertion of a mechanism with a pump, which allows its mechanical connection to the electric motor of the electric brush mechanism.

The pump is connected on one side to a water tank, for example, a tank that can also be used as packaging for the product, or an external tank and is connected on the other side to a sprayer that allows the user to spray.

Fig. 1 depicts a teeth cleaning kit according to one embodiment of the invention, disassembled.

A teeth cleaning kit 10 according to one embodiment, includes a power assembly 12A including an electric motor and a connection member 20A for being rotated thereby; a teeth brushing assembly 12B, including a connection member 20B1; and a water splashing assembly 12C.

Water splashing assembly 12C includes a connection member 20B2; a peripheral water compartment 30, forming a cylindrical space 42; and a head 58 ending with a nozzle 32.

Water compartment (30) is sealed from cylindrical space and from connection member 20B2. 25 320686/2 - 4 - Fig. 2 depicts a first state for using the kit of Fig. 1.

The user may connect connection member 20B1 of teeth brushing assembly 12B to connection member 20A of power assembly 12A, for holding power assembly 12A by fingers 48.

This connections allows moving bristles 26 of teeth brushing assembly 12B by motor 18 of power assembly 12A.

Fig. 3 depicts a second state for using the kit of Fig. 1.

Alternatively, the user may insert power assembly 12A into gap 42 of water splashing assembly 12C, to connect connection member 20B2 of water splashing assembly 12C to connection member 20A of power assembly 12A, for holding peripheral compartment 30 of water splashing assembly 12C by fingers 48.

This connection allows operating water pump 34 of water splashing assembly 12C by electric motor 18 of power assembly 12A, to pump water through a pipe 44 ending in peripheral compartment 30 of water splashing assembly 12C, therefrom to nozzle 32 of water splashing assembly 12C.

Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the second state of Fig. 3.

Pipe 44 may move (54) around power assembly 12A, such as from portion 56A of peripheral compartment towards portion 56B of peripheral compartment 30.

Referring again to Fig. 3, a weight 46 fixed to the end of pipe 44, ensures that end 52 of pipe 44 is disposed at the lowest location regarding gravity at any position the user 25 320686/2 - 5 - holds peripheral compartment 30. Thus, end 52 of pipe is disposed at portion 56A when the user disposes portion 56A at the bottom; and end 52 of pipe is disposed at portion 56B when the user disposes portion 56B at the bottom.

Fig. 5 depicts the kit of Fig. 1 according to another embodiment.

Water compartment 30 of water splashing assembly 12C may be separable from head 58.

Fig. 6 depicts the kit of Fig. 6 disassembled.

Water compartment 30 may function for housing power assembly 12A, brushing assembly 12B, and head 58 of splashing assembly 12C.

Fig. 7 depicts a user holding the assembled kit of Fig. 3.

The embodiment of Fig. 3 is advantaged in relation to that of Fig. 5, in that the user may hold peripheral compartment 30 of Fig. 3 horizontally (by fingers 48), and water 60 descends to the portion 56A, and end 52 of the pipe as well.

Fig. 8 depicts the assembled kit of Fig. 6, having a different design.

Nozzle 32 of head 58 may be designed differently, as having a plurality of nozzles. 320686/2 - 6 - Thus, in one aspect, the invention is directed to a teeth cleaning kit (10), including:  a power assembly (12A), including an electric motor (18) and a first connection member (20A) fixed to the electric motor (18), for being rotatable thereby;  a teeth brushing assembly (12B), including bristles (26) and including a second connection member (20B1), the second connection member (20B1) for being connectable to the first connection member (20A) for being rotatable thereby, the rotation of the second connection member (20B1) for moving the bristles (26); and  a water splashing assembly (12C), including a nozzle (28) and including a third connection member (20B1) for being connectable to the first connection member (20A) for being rotatable thereby, the rotation of the third connection member (20B1) for splashing water by the nozzle (28). The water splashing assembly (12C) may further include:  a water pump (34), fixed to the third connection member (20B1), for being powered thereby; and  a water compartment (30), for containing water, for being pumped from the water compartment (30) towards the nozzle (28). The water compartment (30) is shaped to be peripheral by including a cylindrical space (42), for inserting thereto the power assembly (12A), for surrounding the power assembly (12A) by the water compartment (30). 320686/2 - 7 - The water splashing assembly (12C) may further include:  a pipe (44) extending from the water pump (34) to the water compartment (30); and  a weight fixed to an end (52) of the pipe (44), for disposing the end (52) of the pipe (44) at a bottom of the peripheral water compartment (30).
