Brush rite

Abstract

Brush Rite is a toothbrush with a toothpaste dispenser inside of it. The preferred embodiment of the invention utilizes a handle with a bulb pump, a reservoir indicator window and fill port along with a head connected to one end of the handle having bristles, holes and rubber eyelets. To use the preferred embodiment of Brush Rite, an individual would insert the nozzle of a refill tube of toothpaste into the fill port, causing the rubber cover to open. The refill tube of toothpaste would be squeezed to allow toothpaste to flow into the handle and the nozzle would then be removed, allowing the rubber cover to shut. When a user wanted to brush his teeth, he could use the bulb pump to pressurize the handle and move the toothpaste. The toothpaste would be forced from the handle to the head and eventually out onto the bristles after passing through the holes and rubber eyelets. The reservoir indicator window could be monitored to insure adequate amounts of toothpaste remained in the handle for subsequent use.
