DENTIFRICE-DISPENSING TOOTHBRUSH

摘要

A dentifrice-dispensing toothbrush (70) having a handle (72) defining a cavity (73) that is at least partially open at one end of the handle (72), a dentifrice cartridge (90) located in the cavity (73) and defining an opening (99) located proximate the cavity opening (71), the cartridge opening (99) closed with a cap or temporary seal (101). There is a head (74) carrying brushing bristles (76) and adapted to be removably engaged with the handle (72) at the cavity opening (71). The cartridge (90) is fluidly connected to and so delivers dentifrice to the bristles (76). A roller (92) located in the handle cavity (73) is manually moved to compress the cartridge (90) and so dispense dentifrice; the roller (92) is moved through a roller actuator mechanism (96, 94) coupled to the roller (92) and extending outwardly from the handle (72).
