ABSTRACT:
A splashguard and support accessary for a toothbrush available in six shapes being constructed as one piece of injected molded flexable plastic with a central aperture passing therethrough. A support collar is molded into the guard surrounding the aperture on both surfaces thereby yielding greated stability of position for the guard when placed onto the toothbrush handle. The guard is easily installed onto the toothrush by wetting the handle with water then aligning the aperture and pressing the guard over the bottom end of the toothbrush handle and sliding the guard forward to the neck area approximately 11/2 inches below the bristles. The guard when properly positioned prevents toothpaste dentifrice from running down onto the handle; prohibits people from swallowing the toothbrush or gagging; suspends the toothbrush in the air so the bristles will not touch a counter top nor a toothbrush rack. An option within the the present invention is to fill in the collar area with a membrane and place a small rectangular aperture therein. Hygiene is the priority of the present invention.
