A tooth-brushing time announcing devise is disclosed. This device is used with a toothbrush holder and is designed to stepwisely output announcements while continuously outputting music for a predetermined lengthy period of time after a user takes a toothbrush from the toothbrush holder preferably having a specifically designed character shape. The device thus allows the user to more efectively and more willingly brush his teeth for an effective and healthful brushing time. The device of this invention, set in a toothbrush holder (100) having a specifically designed character shape, is provided with a sensing unit (20) for sensing a separation of a toothbrush (90), by a user, from the toothbrush holder (100). When sensing a separation of the toothbrush (90) from the holder (100), the sensing unit (20) outputs a sensing signal to a CPU (50). Upon receiving the signal from the sensing unit (20), the CPU (50) stepwisely outputs announcements through the speaker (80) while continuously ouputting music through the speaker (80) for a predetermined lenthy period of time. The device of this invention thus allows the user to more effectively and more willingly brush his teeth for an effective and healthful brushing time while alleviating the tedium of brushing teeth. |
