A COORDINATE SYSTEM OF A REDUCIBLE TOOTH-BRUSH WITH A MONODOSE TOOTH-PASTE PACKAGING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2000/025629
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The coordinate system of a reducible tooth-brush with a monodose tooth-paste packaging provides the realization of a portable tooth-brush (1) with a telescopic reducible handle (2) so as to be carried in a container (4) of minimum encumbrance, and that may be used together with monodose tooth-paste packagings (8), prepared in small papers (7) and that may be opened at the moment of use, and preferably taken from an automatic dispenser provided near bathrooms, toilets and other similar places in airports, stations, hotels, restaurants and other public places.

Description:
"A COORDINATE SYSTEM OF A REDUCIBLE TOOTH- BRUSH WITH A MONODOSE TOOTH-PASTE PACKAGING" The present invention concerns a coordinate system of a reducible tooth-brush and a packaging of monodose tooth- paste.

It is well known that at present, due to their work, milions of people are forced to take some of their meals in a mensa, restaurant or similar, with the consequence of an increase of the bacteria on their teeth due to the impossibility of having at their disposal all means used at home for cleaning the teeth.

The recent realization of portable, one-use tooth-brushes doesn't completely solve above mentioned problem, due to the considerable cost and also due to the anti-ecological increase of the non-biodegradable waste.

Said need is completely resolved by means of the system according to the present invention which is cheap, functional and highly ecological.

Infact, the system according to the present invention comprises a portable tooth-brush with a telescopic reducible handle so as to be carried in a container of minumum encumbrance, and that may be used together with monodose tooth-paste packagings, prepared in small papers and that may be opened at the moment of use, and preferably taken from an automatic dispenser provided near bathrooms, toilets and other similar places in airports, stations, hotels, restaurants and other public places.

The present invention will be explained more in detail hereinelow relating to the enclosed figures, in which an embodiment is shown.

Figure 1 shows a lateral transparency view of one of the components of the system according to the present invention: a tooth-brush with a reducible telescopic handle, opened for use.

Figure 2 shows a scheme of a vertical section of the tooth-brush of figure 1, with closed handle for transportation.

Figure 3 shows an axonometric transparency view of a possible breast-pocket container for carrying along the reduced tooth-brush.

Figure 4 shows a plant and front view of a monodose packaging of tooth-paste in a paper.

The enclosed figures show a coordinate system of a reducible tooth-brush and a monodose tooth-paste packaging, comprising: -a tooth-brush 1, the head whereof may be connected with a handle 2 consisting of a plurality of telescopic elements 3 tapered towards the back end, so that the last element 3'may contain all precedent ones retracted for transportation, while during use the manual opening thereof determines the final shape of a not homogeneously cylindric but truncated-cone handle, of easy handling; -a box-like container 4 that may be realized also out of plastic transparent material, with an opening means 5 and a possible structure 6 for getting hooked to the edge of a breast-pocket or similar; -a paper packaging 7 out of plastic aseptic material, containing a monodose of tooth-paste 8, immediately disposable for transportation, and that may be torn open along the shaped opening 9, and having a quantity and a shape exactly sufficient for the disposition on the bristles of said tooth-brush 1.

Said packaging 7 may be carried in the pocket by the user as well as the container 4 of the tooth-brush 1, but preferably it may be realized in rolls or other structures, housed in suitable dispensers in the ambients of utilization.
