ABSTRACT:
A toothbrush assembly having a handle component and a brush component which in the storage mode of the assembly is housed within the handle component. In the brushing mode, the brush component is attached to the handle component and projects therefrom. The brush component is formed by a shank having a brush head anchored thereon, the shank terminating in a mounting plug. The handle component is formed by a hollow body having an elongated belly section in whose cavity the brush component is storable, the belly section flowing into an enlarged annular shoulder leading to a neck section adapted to socket the plug of the brush component. The handle body is contoured to define a concave fore depression at the junction of the shoulder and the neck section, and a concave aft depression at the junction of the shoulder and the belly section. When the belly section is cradled in the palm of the user's hand, the fore and aft depressions as well as the shoulder afford selectable gripping sites for the index finger and thumb to facilitate manipulation of the handle so that the brush head can reach the dental surfaces to be cleaned and can be oriented to apply a brushing pressure thereto in a manner appropriate to the surface engaged thereby.
