ABSTRACT:
In order to take care of the oral hygiene needs of aged or infirm patients in health care facilities, or the like, a relatively small, compact, self-contained device can be carried by a lay operator from room to room. Fresh water in one container carried on the device is replenished from each room's fresh water faucet and waste water in another container is disposed of in the room's sink. Each patient has an individual tooth brush adapted to engage a handle connected by flexible tubing to the portable device and suitable switches enable the operator to control the operation of electrically actuated components effective to discharge fresh water through the bristles of the brush and vacuum waste water from the vicinity of the brush tip end. Particular care is built into the design of the unit to prevent cross-contamination and electrical shock hazard.
