ABSTRACT:
An elongated housing structure is provided for accommodating a toothbrush head at one of its ends, and for insertion of a tube of toothpaste through the other of its ends. A rotating pin is provided to roll the bottom end of the toothpaste tube, thereby to dispense the toothpaste, and to move forwardly of the housing as the tube becomes smaller and smaller when the toothpaste is dispensed. The forward motion of the pin is accommodated by an elongated slot defined by the housing. A further structural provision is made in order to selectively move the top of the toothpaste tube into and out of position with respect to the bristles of the toothbrush, by means of a knurled knob and depending collar or neck holder movable in a second slot defined by the housing. The toothbrush head is movably connected to the front of the housing, so that the bristles can be moved between a paste-loading position and a brushing position. A gripping surface is also defined by the housing. A connecting structure is provided to coordinate the motion of the tube positioning mechanism and the bristle-moving mechanism.
