ABSTRACT:
A foldable toothbrush and toothpaste supply unit usable under circumstances where a standard toothbrush and toothpaste dispenser are ordinarily not available, thereby making it possible for the user to brush his teeth, and after one or more times of use, to dispose of the unit. The unit is formed by a single, generally rectangular plate of semi-rigid plastic material having a strip extending from the longitudinal center axis at one end thereof to support a brush. Formed in the other end of the piece and integral therewith is a trough which depends from the piece and is in alignment with the brush, the trough being dimensioned to accommodate the brush and a bed of toothpaste. A transverse score line on the piece creates a living hinge dividing the piece into a brush section and a trough section, such that in the storage mode when the brush section is folded over the trough section, the brush is then nested in the trough and partially immersed in the toothpaste. A pair of longitudinal score lines on the piece which intersect the transverse line create living hinges that define side flaps on either side of the trough, whereby in the operating mode the sections are unfolded and the side flaps are bent down against the sides of the trough to form a substantially bar shaped handle for the brush.
