ABSTRACT:
The combined toothpaste container and dental floss cap may include a toothpaste container and a removable cap with a hollow chamber and an outlet orifice formed in fluid communication with the hollow chamber. A mechanism for contemporaneously dispensing dental floss and notifying a user when the dental floss is approaching depletion may be situated in the hollow chamber. The mechanism may also include a dental floss spool threaded about a rectilinear worm shaft such that the spool travels along the worm shaft toward a top surface of the cap during dental floss dispensing procedures. An actuating rod with a primary arm and guide arms may be interfitted within the worm shaft and mated with the spool respectively such that the user may selectively access one end of the actuating rod. The actuating rod may rotate during dental floss dispensing procedures and may be oppositely rotated to retract dental floss.
