ABSTRACT:
A toothbrush comprising, in combination, a replaceable container for holding toothpaste having an outlet and a brush portion having a plurality of projecting bristles and an extension adapted to be releasably connected to the replaceable container. The extension includes a recess. A tooth paste dispensing system comprising a tube and an actuating mechanism are mounted to the extension. The tube is connected to the outlet of the tooth paste container and has an open end. The actuating mechanism is operated to pivot the tube from a default position in which the tube is stored in the recess of the extension to a dispensing position in which the tube is elevated out of the recess and moved forwardly to position the tube directly over the bristles for dispensing toothpaste from the container through the open end of the tube. The toothbrush of the present invention provides a convenient, compact toothbrush with an integrated supply of tooth paste that is convenient for use at home and ideal for use when travelling or away from home. The dispensing tube is sealed when the actuating mechanism is in the default position to prevent leakage.
