ABSTRACT:
A device that stores and sanitizes toothbrushes in individual storage pockets in a vessel containing a sanitizing solution. Each storage pocket is formed in the top surface of the vessel in such a manner that the storage pocket is partially filled with sanitizing solution and in normal use, the pocket is sealed from the sanitizing fluid contained in the main vessel. When the sanitizing solution has served its useful life in the pockets of the vessel, the vessel is overturned, the used sanitizing liquid in each of the pockets is dumped out by over-turning the vessel. The vessel is then returned to its normal orientation, and the top of the vessel is raised slightly to allow the top of each pocket to slightly separate from the lower portion of each pocket to allow the sanitizing liquid in the vessel to flow into each pocket to replenish the sanitizing fluid in each pocket. When each pocket is filled to the desired level, the top of the vessel is returned to its sealing position and locked in this position until the solution in the pockets is spent.
