A toothbrush (10') comprising:
a handle (12') having a first end and a second end and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, and a cavity positioned between the first end and the second end, and a grip surrounding the longitudinal axis and at least a portion of the handle, with at least a portion of the grip being made of a flexible material;
a head (26') positioned at the first end of the handle;
a plurality of bristles (80') attached to the head (26');
a light (60') positioned in the cavity;
a power source 66') positioned in the cavity and configured to provide power to the light;
a circuit positioned in the cavity and configured to supply the light with power from the power source;
a switch mechanism including a protrusion (112') that is separate from and unconnected to the grip and has a first end and a second end, with the grip surrounding the protrusion, and the first end of the protrusion extending away from the second end of the protrusion in a direction towards the flexible material of the grip such that the flexible material of the grip covers the protrusion, the switch mechanism configured such that a force applied to the flexible material of the grip in a direction towards the first end of the protrusion moves the protrusion in a direction away from the flexible material of the grip to complete the circuit to cause the light to blink for a set period of time. |
