    "ORAL CARE SYSTEM"
    FIELD The present invention relates in general to oral care systems, kits and methods and specifically to a system, kit and method including a 5 tooth brush having an open cavity that holds a removable dispenser containing an oral care agent.
    BACKGROUND Oral care products or agents are applied in different ways. For example, if limited, a common technique used for 10 teeth whitening products is to shape an impression of a person's teeth and provide a tray of the shape of that impression. Then, a person just needs to add a whitening composition to the tray and apply the tray to their teeth. The tray is left in place for a period of time and then removed. After a few treatments, the teeth gradually become red. Another technique is to use a tape that has a whitening composition on one surface. This tape is applied close to a person's teeth and left in place for around 30 minutes. After several applications, the teeth are - gradually whitened. Yet another technique is to apply a whitening composition to the teeth using a small brush. This brush is repeatedly dipped '' back into the container during the application of the tooth whitening composition next to the 20 teeth. After a few treatments, the teeth gradually become red. One problem with existing brushing techniques is that the saliva in the mouth contains the enzyme catalase. This enzyme will catalyze the decomposition of peroxides. The brush can collect some catalase during the application of a chiseling product close to the teeth and transport the catalase back to the bottle. This catalase now in the vial can degrade q peroxide in the vial. Another problem with the latter technique is that it is not suitable for use with anhydrous heating compositions. Here, the brush can carry moisture from the mouth saliva back into the bottle. This will have a negative effect on the routing composition by potentially decomposing the active peroxide ingredient. In addition, if a person washes the brush each time after use, moisture from wet bristles can enter the bottle. Although tray-based systems are suitable, many people do not use them due to the fact that they tend to be uncomfortable and / or difficult to handle. In addition, in order to use a whitening tray, a user must keep the required tray and components handy. This not only requires 35 extra storage space in small, tight bathroom cabinets, but also requires the user to remember to use the chirping system. In addition, these tray-based systems are not conveniently portable for transport and / or travel. In addition to the difficulties in applying some oral care products, storage is sometimes bothersome and inconvenient for the user. The oral care product should typically be stored separately from the oral care teeth cleaning implements 5 such as a toothbrush since the care product packaging and toothbrush until now are generally treated as separate and distinct parts of an oral care system. A portable, compact and convenient means of storing oral care products, and of dispensing and applying these oral care products close to oral surfaces is desired.

In describing embodiments of the invention disclosed in this document, any reference to the direction or orientation is merely intended for convenience of description and is not intended in any way to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, aspects and benefits of the invention are illustrated with reference to preferred embodiments. Consequently, the invention should not expressly be limited to such preferred embodiments by illustrating some possible, but not limiting, combination of the 35 aspects that can be provided alone or in other combinations of aspects; the scope of the invention being defined by the appended claims. Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with respect to a possible treatment or oral care system. Achievements of the care system
    Oral V may include, but is not limited to, the following agents: tooth whitening, antibacterials, nail protection, anti-sensitivity, anti-inflammatory, non-stick, fluorine, tartar control / protection, flavoring, sensory, coloring and others. However, other embodiments of the present invention can be used to store and dispense any suitable type of care agent! and the invention is not expressly to be limited to any particular care system or agent alone. Referring to the FlGS. 1 through 3, an oral care system 100 is illustrated in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The oral care system 100 is a compact, readily portable, autonomous, friendly system that comprises all the components and chemicals necessary for a user to perform a desired oral care treatment routine. As will be described in more detail below, the oral care system 100 in an illustrative embodiment generally takes the form of a modified toothbrush having a removable dispenser disposed at least partially within its handle. Because the dispenser is located inside the handle of the toothbrush itself, the oral care system 100 is portable for travel, easy to use, and reduces the amount of storage space required. In addition, since the toothbrush and dispenser are housed together, the user is less "likely to put the dispenser out of place and be more inclined to maintain the dispensing routine. 20 since brushing will remember to the user to simply separate and apply the contents of the dispenser The oral care system 100 generally comprises a toothbrush 200 and a dispenser 300. And to be understood that although the invention is described in this document with respect to the use of a brush teeth as one of the two main components of the oral care system 100, which other alternative care implements can now be used within the scope of the invention, including tongue cleaners, tooth polisher and implements that have specially designed handles having elements coupling with the tooth specially designed to increase the effect of the active agent in the dispenser on the teeth. toothbrush 200 preferably is a manual toothbrush, the toothbrush can be an electric toothbrush in other embodiments of the invention. It is to be understood that the system of the invention can be used for a variety of intended oral care needs by filling the dispenser 300 with any oral care material, such as an oral care agent that achieves a desired oral effect. In one embodiment, the oral care agent is preferably free (i.e., it is not) the toothpaste as the dispenser is intended to increase, not supplant the brushing system. The oral care agent and / or its medium can be selected to complement a toothpaste formula, such as by coordinating ingredients from
    P aromas, colors, aesthetics, or active ingredients. The toothbrush 200 generally comprises a handle part 210, a narrower part 220 and a head part 230. The handle 210 provides the user with a mechanism by which he / she can readily hold and manipulate the toothbrush
    100. Cable 210 may be formed of various shapes, sizes, different materials and a variety of manufacturing methods that are well known to those skilled in the art, as long as it can accommodate the dispenser 300 therein as described in detail below. If desired, Cl cable 210 may include a suitably textured handle 211 10 made of soft elastomeric material. The cable 210 can be a single construction or with multiple parts. Cable 2109 extends from a near end 212 to a distal end 213 along a longitudinal axis A-A. As will be described in greater detail below with respect to FlG. 6, a cavity 240 is formed within the cable
    210. An opening 215 is provided at the close end 212 of the cable 210, which 15 provides a corridor within the cavity 240 through which the dispenser 300 can be inserted and retracted. Although the opening 215 is located at the near end "212 of the cable in the exemplified embodiment, the opening can be located in other positions on the cable 210 and other embodiments of the invention. For example, the opening 215" "can be located on a longitudinal surface. of the cable 210 and be elongated to .20 provide sufficient access to the cavity 240, as further described in this document with respect to an alternative embodiment shown in FlG. 16. The cable 210 changes to the narrower part 220 at the distal end 213. Despite If the narrowest part 220 generally has a smaller cross-sectional area than the cable 220, the invention is not limited. The narrowest part 220 is simply the transition region between the cable 210 and the head 230 and conceptually it can be considered as a part of the cable 210. In this way, the head 230 is connected to the distal end 213 of the cable 210 (via the narrowest part 220). The toothbrush head 230 and handle 220 are preferably formed as a single structure using a molding, milling, machining or other suitable process. However, in other embodiments, the cable 210 and the head 230 can be formed as separate components that are Qperatively connected at a later stage in the manufacturing process by any suitable technique known in the art, including, without limitation, heat welding or by ultrasonic welding. sound, a tight fitting assembly, a coupling sleeve, adhesion, or fasteners. Whether the head 230 and the cable 210 are of single or multi-piece construction (including connection techniques), it does not limit the present invention, unless specifically stated. In some embodiments of the invention, the head 230 may be removable (and replaceable) from the cable 210 using techniques well known in the art.
    > The head 230 generally comprises a front surface 231, a rear surface 232 and a peripheral surface 233. The front surface 231 and the rear surface 232 of the head 230 can assume a wide variety of shapes and contours, none of which is limitless of present invention. For example, the front and rear surfaces 231, 232 can be flat, contoured or combinations thereof. Also, if desired. the rear surface 232 may also comprise additional structures for oral cleaning or engagement with teeth, such as soft tissue cleaners or tooth polishing structure. An example of a soft tissue cleaner is an elastomeric sponge 10 comprising several protuberances or ridges. An example of a tooth polishing structure may be an elastomeric element, such as prophylactic suction cups or elastomeric cleaners. In addition, although the head 230 is normally extended in relation to the narrower part 220 of the cable 2120, in some constructions it could simply be a continuous extension or narrowing of the cable 210. 15 The front surface 231 comprises an oral cleaning element section such as engagement element on tooth 235 extending from it for "cleaning and / or polishing contact with an oral surface and / or space between teeth. Although the collection of engagement elements with tooth 235 is preferably suitable for "" brushing teeth, the 235 cleaning element collection can also be used to. 20 polish teeth instead or in addition to cleaning teeth. As used in this document, the term "tooth engagement element" it is used in a generic sense to refer to any structure that can be used to clean, polish or rub teeth and / or soft oral tissue (eg tongue, cheek, gums, etc.) through you are the relative surface contact. Common examples of "tooth engagement elements" include, without limitation, bristle pliers, filament bristles, fiber bristles, nylon bristles, spiral bristles, rubber bristles, elastomeric projections, flexural polymer projections, combined and / or structures containing such materials or combinations. Suitable elastomeric materials include any biocompatible elastic material suitable for use in an oral hygiene device. To provide optimal comfort as well as beneficial cleaning, the elastomeric material preferably has a rigidity property in the Shore hardness range from A8 to A25. A preferred elastomeric material is the styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene block copolymer (SEBS ) manufactured by GLS Corporation. However, SEBS material from other manufacturers or other materials within and outside the observed stiffness range could be used. The engagement elements on tooth 235 of the present invention can be connected with the head 120 in any manner known in the art. For example, clamps / fasteners, in tufts made in mold (IFT) or in tufts free of fasteners (AFT) could be used to mount the cleaning elements / engagement elements with the tooth. In AFT, a plate or membrane is held close to the brush head as by ultra-welding. sonic. The bristles extend across the plate or membrane. The free ends of the bristles on one side of the plate or membrane perform the cleaning function. The ends 5 of the bristles on the other side of the plate or menibrane are heat fused to be fixed in place. Any suitable form of cleaning elements can be used in the wide practice of this invention- Alternatively, the bristles could be mounted next to blocks or sections of tllfo by extending through appropriate opening in the tuff blocks so that the base of the bristles is mounted inside or below the tuff block. 10 The toothbrush 200 and the dispenser 300 are not separate non-unitary structures that are specially designed to be securely held together when in an assembled state (referred to herein as a storage state) and completely separated from each other when in a disassembled state (referred to in this document as an application state). The toothbrush 200 and the dispenser 300 are illustrated in the state of storage in the FlGS. 1 and 2 and the state of application at FlG.
    3. The dispenser 300 can be slide-operated and moved between the storage state (FlGS. 1 and 2) in which the dispenser is coupled to the handle part of the toothbrush 210 and the application state (FlG. 3 ) in which the dispenser is removed from the "" cable part 210 by the user as desired. The dispenser coupling system _ 20 for engaging and disengaging dispenser 300, and the relevant structural elements of toothbrush 200 and dispenser 300 comprising the coupling system, will now be described in more detail. Now, referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the dispenser 300 is schematically illustrated. The dispenser 300 is a tubular elongated pen-like structure. The dispenser 300 has a housing 301 that extends between a holding end 302 (which can be conceptually considered as the distal end) and a dispensing end 303 (which can be conceptually considered as the distal end). An annular groove 304 is formed within the outer surface 305 of housing 301. Although groove 304 is located close to a middle part along the length of housing 301, groove 304 can be located in housing 301 at any desired position . In addition, although the groove 304 is illustrated as a concisely defined channel, in another embodiment the groove can be formed by a gradually tilting curvature and / or by the contour of the casing 301, The casing 301 comprises an inner layer 306 and an outer layer 307. 35 The inner layer 306 is preferably constructed of a material that is sufficiently rigid to provide the necessary structural integrity for the dispenser 300. For example, the inner layer can be made of a moldable rigid plastic. Moldable thermoplastics are preferred. Suitable plastics include polymers and copolymers of ethylene, propylene, butadiene, vinyl compounds and polyesters such as - poly (ethylene terephthalate). The chosen pastic (s), however, must be compatible with the oral care agent that is to be stored inside the dispenser 300 and must not be corroded or degraded by the oral care agents. The outer layer 307 is preferably made of a soft elastic material, such as an elastomeric material. Suitable elastomeric materials include thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) or other similar materials used in oral care products. The elastomeric material of the outer layer 307 can have a stiffness measurement per 10 durometer ranging from Shore hardness from A13 to A50, although materials outside this variation can be used. A preferred range of durometer hardness rating is Shore hardness between A25 and A40. Although an overmolding construction is preferred for the outer layer 307, a suitable deformable thermoplastic material, such as TPE, can be formed into a thin layer and connected to the inner layer 15 306 with a suitable adhesive or other devices. However, it should be noted that in some embodiments of the invention, housing 301 can be constructed of a single layer of material. Referring to the FlGS. 5 and 7A, housing 301 forms an internal chamber that "" defines a reservoir 308 to hold the desired oral care material or product, o. 20 which can be an active or inactive oral care agent. The oral care agent and / or its carrier can be in any form such as a solid material or a highly fluid material including, without limitation, viscous gel pastes or less viscous liquid compositions. Preferably, the oral care agent is a high-flow material in preferred embodiments. Any suitable oral care agent can be used in the present invention. For example, the oral care agent includes whitening agents, including, without limitation, peroxide-containing tooth whitening compositions. Suitable peroxide-containing tooth whitening compositions are disclosed in US Patent No. 11 / 403-372, filed on April 13, 2006, for the present assignee, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. Although a tooth whitening agent is one of the preferred active agents in the present invention, any other suitable care agents can be used with the embodiments of the present invention and thus stored within the reservoir
    308. The oral care agents contemplated may be an active or non-active ingredient, including, without limitation, antibacterial agents; oxidizing or bleaching agents; enamel strengthening or repair agents; tooth erosion prevention agents; anti-sensitive ingredients; gum health assets; nutritional ingredients; tartar or stain remover control ingredients; enzymes, sensation ingredients; flavorings or flavoring ingredients; breath refreshing ingredients; agents of
    W reduction of bad oral odors; anti-fixation or sealant agents; diagnostic solutions; obstruction agents; anti-inflammatory agents, dry mouth relief ingredients; catalysts to improve the activity of any of these agents; coloring or aesthetic ingredients; and combinations thereof. The oral care agent in a preferred embodiment is free (i.e., it is not) toothpaste. Instead, the active agent is intended to provide additional oral care benefits in addition to simply brushing a person's teeth. Other suitable oral care agents could include lip balm or other materials that are typically available in a semi-solid state. The reservoir 308 is liquidly coupled with an applicator 309 that protrudes from the dispensing end 303 of the casing 301 through a release channel 310. The liberation channel 310 releases the oral care agent from the reservoir 308 to the applicator 309 Obviously, in some embodiments, a release channel may not be necessary or may simply be an extension of the reservoir or a space connecting the reservoir and the applicator (or an opening at the dispensing end). - Then, the user presses and / or rubs the 309 applicator close to his teeth to apply the oral care agent close to his teeth, preferably after brushing. The "" application process is very similar to using a standard pen and / or marker. The applicator 309 can be made of bristles, a porous or sponge material, or a fibrillated material. Suitable bristles include any common bristle material such as nylon or PBT. Sponge-like materials can be of any common foam material such as urethane foams. The fibrillated surfaces can be comprised of various thermoplastics. With the use of bristles, the 310 25 release channel will release the composition close to the ends of the bristles. Normally, there will be a single release channel. For sponge and fibrillated surfaces, there will normally be several channels with a smaller diameter in order to distribute the composition more evenly over the user's teeth. In one embodiment, the fibrillated material will have an essentially flat surface that has several fibrils protruding up to about 30 millimeters in length. Such a fibrillated surface provides a mini brush surface. However, the invention is not limited to this and applicator 309 can be any type of surface and / or configuration that can apply a viscous substance to the rigid surface of the teeth, including simply an uncoated opening / hole. The distribution channel 310 can be a properly sized tubular conduit having a hollow corridor or it can be constructed of a porous material. The mechanism for releasing the active agent from reservoir 308 to applicator 309 (or a hole in the dispensing end) can be strictly by capillary action, a mechanical or chemical pumping action, compression / tightening of dispenser 300, gravity and / or combinations thereof.
    In one embodiment, at least a part. of the casing 301 can be constructed to be transversely deformable so that the user can squeeze the dispenser 300, thereby increasing the pressure inside the reservoir 308 and forcing the oral care agent out of the reservoir 308 through the applicator 309. In such an embodiment, a one-way valve can be embedded inside the dispenser to allow air back into the reservoir so that the dispenser casing resumes its uncompressed / deformed state after use.
    In other embodiments, a piston-like mechanism can be used for the bleaching agent from reservoir 308 to apiicator 309. Obviously, other mechanisms and actions can be used to achieve the dispensing goal, In the illustrated embodiment of dispenser 300 , an overflow chamber 311 is created close to the dispensing end 303 by the addition of a cross wall 312. The cross wall 312 separates and substantially seals the reservoir 15 308 from the overflow chamber 311. The release channel 310 extends through transverse wall 312 and through the overflow chamber 311, from that
    "by coupling reservoir 308 with applicator 309. A porous material, which is in the form of a glove 313, can be positioned within the overflow chamber 311. The overflow chamber 311 can minimize excessive amounts of the oral care agent.
    . 20 reach applicator 309 or leak from dispenser 300. Overflow chamber 311 will not be necessary in all embodiments of the dispenser, depending on the release mechanism used.
    The details of the dispenser 300 described above are not to be considered as limiting the present invention unless specifically mentioned in the 25 claims.
    It is to be understood that the structural details of the dispenser body and its delivery system can vary widely.
    However, in one embodiment, in order to make the oral care system 100 favorable to the user for travel, reservoir 308 and / or the volume of active agent in the reservoir can be selected so that oral care system 100 can be 30 taken in aircraft.
    Since around 2002, the volume of liquid can be carried on an aircraft in the United States and other countries in a single container, typically limited to about 85 milliliters (3 fluid ounces), the 308 reservoir and / or the volume of the active agent in reservoir 308 can be selected to comply with the applicable regulation, which may change from country to country and over time.
    The reservoir 308 and / or the volume of active agent in the reservoir can be at least 236.59 milliliters, or sufficient for at least two weeks of use by an average user.
    In addition, in some embodiments of the invention, applicator 309 can be omitted from dispenser 300. In such an embodiment, the desired oral care material will be released from reservoir 308 of dispenser 300 via a simple hole in dispensing end 303. Depending on of the type of oral care material being used, this orifice can act as a nozzle or opening for dispensing and / or ejecting a liquid or paste oral care material onto the desired oral surface. Such an arrangement is especially useful in combination with a dispenser housing that can be compressed or tightened. In embodiments where a semi-solid oral care material is used, such as lip balm, the orifice can simply provide a corridor from the reservoir through which the semi-solid oral care material will protrude or be slidably extended and retracted by any suitable conventional axial or rotating extension mechanism. Now, referring to the FlGS. 6, 7A and 7B, the details of the toothbrush 200 which provides a housing volume for the dispenser 300 in the coupled or storage state will be described. The toothbrush handle 210 comprises an inner cavity 240 that is sized and shaped to accommodate the dispenser 300. The cavity 240 is generally a tubular cavity that extends along the longitudinal axis AA of the handle 210 and is defined by an inner surface / wall
    241. The opening 215, which is substantially transversely oriented and located at the near end 212 of the handle 210 in embodiment, provides a corridor from the outside of the toothbrush 200 to the internal cavity 240. The opening 215 is. sized and shaped to allow the dispenser 300 to be slid in and out of the internal cavity 240. The size and shape of the cavity 240 generally corresponds to the size and shape of the dispenser 300 and, as described below with respect to FlG. 7A, in a non-fixed way and in a way that can be removed, holds the dispenser 300 inside the cable 210. The cavity 240 comprises the longitudinal section B and the longitudinal section C. The section B of the cavity 240 is dimensioned and shaped to accommodate the casing 301 of the dispenser 300 while the section C of the cavity 240 is sized and shaped to accommodate the applicator 309 and the distal dispensing end 303 of the dispenser 300. More specifically, section B has the cross section and longitudinal section profiles of the casing 301 of the dispenser 300 which is housed inside the cavity 240. Similarly, section C has the cross-section and longitudinal profiles that generally correspond to the cross-section and longitudinal profiles of the applicator 309 and the distal dispensing end 303 of the housing 301 of dispenser 300 which is housed within cavity 240. 35 Obviously, the invention is not limited to such correspondence in all embodiments. Continuing with reference to the FlGS. 6, 7A, and 7B, the cavity 240 has a generally tapered cross section for most of the longitudinal length of the cavity comprising sections A and B, where the cross section decreases as it moves forward / away from the opening 215 towards the distal end 213 and centering the dispenser 300 in proper placement and settling into the cavity 5 240 in the coupled or storage state.
    The cross-sectional area of section C is preferably substantially smaller than the cross-sectional area of section B to match the corresponding tapered shape of the dispenser 300. As best shown in FlG. 6, in one embodiment, the plane of the opening 215 is preferably angled transversely with respect to the longitudinal geometric axis so as to 10 additionally assist in the removal and reinsertion of the dispenser into the cavity 240. Continuing with reference to the FlGS. 6, 7A and 7B, the inner wall 241 of the cavity 240 comprises an annular protrusion 242 which is designed to non-securely match the annular groove 304 of the dispenser 300 when in the storage state.
    The annular protrusion 242 and the groove 304 provide a locking system for removably holding the dispenser 300 on the handle part 210 of the toothbrush 200. In a possible embodiment, the annular protrusion 242 is preferably formed convex in
    - cross section and groove 304 may have a complementary concave cross section to facilitate a smooth but locking engagement between the protrusion and the "" groove (see FlGS. 6 and 7A). Obviously, other formats and / or combination aspects
    . 20 can be used in dispenser 300 and wall 214 instead of the protrusion / groove arrangement for removably holding dispenser 300 on the handle part 210 of toothbrush 200. The annular protrusion 212 can form a transition between section B and section C of cavity 240 as shown.
    Continuing with reference to the FlGS. 6, 7A and 7B, the inner wall 241 of the cavity 25 240 can also additionally include an annular shoulder 243 which is preferably located near the distal end 213 of the cable part 210 as shown.
    The annular shoulder 243 provides a projecting structure that creates a smaller distal cross-sectional area of section C in the form of a receptacle at the end of the applicator 400 near the distal end 213 of the cable part 210. Although the annular shoulder 243 is illustrated as a corner or rectangular edge, it can take on a wide variety of shapes and cross-section profiles or contours, including an angled edge, a curved radius or arched edge, or others.
    The annular shoulder 243 is configured and adapted to mutually engage with the distal dispensing end 303 of the dispenser 300 when fully inserted into the cavity 240. This provides a stop for the dispensing end 303 of the casing 301 of the dispenser 300 in order to prevent over-insertion and contact between the wall of the distal transverse / vertical end further ahead 401 of the inner wall 241 of the cavity and the free end of applicator 309, which could lead to "bleeding" or leakage of the care agent from the dispenser into the cavity. What creates a mixture or loss of oral care agent. As a result, the annular shoulder 242 preferably creates a small gap between the free end of applicator 309 and the wall of distal end 5 401 of cavity 241 (see FlG. 7B). The receptacle 400 is preferably further configured and dimensioned to receive the applicator 308 therein and can generally conform to the shape and size of the applicator while providing adequate circumferential space between them so as to also prevent engagement between the applicator and the end receptacle 400 to prevent leakage. Obviously, in some embodiments of the invention, the annular shoulder can be omitted, where the cavity 241 and the dispenser 300 preferably can be mutually configured so that a small space remains between the applicator end 309 and the distal end wall 401 of the cavity when the dispenser 300 is fully seated and coupled to the cavity 241 of the handle part 210 of the 15 tooth brush 200. The annular shoulder 243 and its structural cooperation with the dispenser 300 will be described in more detail below.
    K Referring now to the FlGS. 7A and 7B simultaneously, the structural cooperation between the dispenser 300 and the toothbrush 200 in the storage state will be "" discussed in more detail. As illustrated, the oral care system 100 is in the storage state. When in the storage state, the dispenser 300 is
    P is slidably positioned within the cavity 240 of the toothbrush handle 210 as illustrated. Most of the length of the dispenser 300 is housed within the cavity 240 of the toothbrush, and more preferably, at least 75% of the length of the dispenser 300 is housed within the cavity 240 of the toothbrush 200. 25 When in the housed state or for storage, the annular groove 304 of the corresponding coupling dispenser 300 receives the annular protrusion 242 of the inner wall 241 of the cavity 240, thereby holding the dispenser 300 non-securely in place. Coupling groove 304 with protrusion 242 holds the dispenser in place until the user applies sufficient force to overcome the 30 coupling interaction between groove 304 and protrusion 242, thereby dislodging dispenser 300 from toothbrush 200 For use. The exact force required to overcome the coupling hitch will be dictated by the respective size and the tolerances of the groove 304 and the projection 242. The elastic outer layer 307 of the dispenser additionally facilitates the act of 35 holding non-securely between the dispenser 300 and the toothbrush 200 in that the outer layer 307 is compressed by the protrusion 242 and / or other parts of the inner wall 241. Additionally, the compression of the elastic outer layer 307 increases the amount of force necessary to overcome the frictional contact between the inner wall 241
    V and the outer surface 305 of the casing 301 of the dispenser 300. The corresponding coupling between the groove 304 and the projection 242 also performs another function in that the corresponding coupling interaction forms a hermetic seal between the wall 242 and the outer surface 305 of the dispenser 300. This hermetic seal prevents water and other fluids that can compromise the integrity of the applicator 309 and / or the activity of the oral care agent from entering cavity 240. The compression of the elastic outer layer 307 also increases this effect- addition to preventing water and other unwanted fluids from entering cavity 240 when the dispenser is in the storage state, the hermetic seal also prevents the applicator from drying out during periods of non-use. When in the housed or stored state, the annular shoulder 243 also assists in the role of maintaining the integrity of the applicator 309 and the oral care agent during periods of non-use and / or brushing with toothbrush 200. 15 more specifically, when in the storage state. the annular shoulder 243 comes into contact (and slightly) with the outer surface 305 of the housing 301, thereby forming a second hermetic seal and / or barrier that isolates section C of the internal cavity from section B of cavity 240. Thus, there are two hermetic seals "" protecting section C and applicator 309 from the outside environment in the state of storage. Obviously, only one or the other can be used. In addition, hermetic seals can also be formed by simple contact between the outer surface 305 of the dispenser 300 and the inner wall 241. The hermetic seal formed by the annular shoulder can be especially useful in preventing leakage and / or unwanted drying of the applicator 309 due to the small 25 free volume available in section C of cavity 240. In other embodiments, dispenser 300 can be securely secured within cavity 240 of toothbrush 200 by a simple compression fit and / or contact friction surface between the dispenser and the inner wall 241. Now referring to FlG. 8, an alternative embodiment of a dispenser 30 30AA is illustrated in accordance with the present invention. The 30OA dispenser is identical to the FlGS dispenser 300. 4 and 5, with the exception that the dispensing end 303A is adapted to have a secure lid 330A next to it and is constructed of a single layer 306A of material. In order to avoid redundancy, a detailed discussion of these components of the dispenser 30OA which are substantially identical to those of the dispenser 100 is omitted. However, for reference and clarity, equal numbers are used to identify equal parts with the exception of the alphabetical suffix "A" being added.
    m%
    The dispensing end 303A of housing 301A of dispenser 30OA includes a surface aspect (in the form of an annular groove 315A) for corresponding coupling with a corresponding structure (in the form of an annular protrusion 331A), The corresponding coupling between the annular groove 215A of the casing 301A with the annular projection 331A of the cap 330A securely secured the cap 330A next to the casing 301A, thereby sealing the applicator 309A in order to prevent leakage or drying of the active agent.
    Although a corresponding groove / protrusion coupling assembly is exemplified to hold the lid 330A in place, other surface aspects and structures that can engage correspondingly and / or cooperate with one another can be used.
    Structures and methods for connecting the cap with a tubular body are well known in the art.
    The casing 301A of the dispenser 30OA is also a single layer construction 306A.
    The single layer material 306A must provide the necessary structural rigidity and be compatible with the oral care agent. 15 Now, referring to the FlG. 9, a toothbrush 20OA specifically designed to accommodate the dispenser 30OA with the cap 330A in it is illustrated.
    The brush
    - tooth 20OA is identical to brush 200 of FlGS. 1 through 7B with the exception that the inner cavity 240A is differently shaped to accommodate the dispenser 30OA with the cap 330A. "" In order to avoid redundancy, a detailed discussion of these 20 tooth brush components 20OA which are substantially identical to those of brush 200 is omitted. . However, for reference and clarity, equal numbers are used to identify equal parts with the exception of the alphabetical suffix "A" being added.
    The internal cavity 240A of the toothbrush 20OA has a section C that is designed to accommodate the lid 330A of the dispenser 30OA.
    Because cavity 240A 25 accommodates dispenser 300 with its cap 330A attached, there is no need for a shoulder to be embedded in wall 241A as cap 330A forms a second hermetic seal for applicator 309A.
    The 30OA dispenser (with the cap 330A) is presented in the storage position inside the toothbrush 20OA in FlG. 10. Now, referring to the FlGS. 11 to 13 simultaneously, a toothbrush 30 20OB specifically designed to accommodate the dispenser 30OA without the cover 330A in it is illustrated.
    The toothbrush 20OB is identical to toothbrush 200 of FlGS, 1 through 7B with the exception that section C of the internal cavity 240B is formed differently to accommodate the dispenser 30OA without the cap 330A.
    In order to avoid redundancy, a detailed discussion of these toothbrush components 20OB which are substantially identical to those of toothbrush 200 is omitted.
    However, for reference and clarity, equal numbers are used to identify equal parts with the exception of the alphabetical suffix "B" being added. % W
    N Section C of cavity 240 B is designed to accommodate the 309A applicator of the 30OA dispenser without its cover. Of particular interest is the fact that section C of the. cavity 240B is specifically designed to engage correspondingly with annular groove 315 located at dispensing end 303A of dispenser 30OA. Specifically, the inner wall 241B additionally comprises an annular protrusion 244B located in section C of cavity 240B. When the dispenser 30OA is in the storage state (without the cap) inside the toothbrush 20OB, the annular projection 244B mates correspondingly with the annular groove 315B of the dispenser 30OB, thereby sealing and sealing the applicator 309A. 10 Conceivably, the inner wall 240B of section C of cavity 240B is contoured to be identical to the structure of cover 330A. Thus, even though the cap 330A is renewed, however, the same level of protection and conservation of applicator 309A (and the active agent) is obtained. As a result, slot 304.A can be omitted, if desired. The same surface aspect (exemplified as the groove 315A) of the 30OA 15 dispenser can be used to: (1) hold the lid 330A to protect the applicator 309A during shipping and / or when it is on sale; (2) assist in non-securely holding the dispenser 30OA inside cavity 240B in the storage state; and (3) seal and protect the 309A applicator in the storage state.
    . - As a result of the mutability between cap 330A and section C of cavity 20 240A, the oral care system 1008 is especially suitable for sale as a kit. "b Replacement dispensers 30OA can be sold without the need to maintain contact with the 330A cap once it is removed and used with the 20OB toothbrush. The oral care system 100 from FlGS. 1 to 7B can also be sold such as a kit 25. Any kit can include at least one toothbrush 200 and a dispenser 300 while maintaining an oral care agent In other embodiments, a kit can include at least one toothbrush 200 and several dispensers 300; each dispenser 300 maintaining a different formula of oral care agent (eg whitening, enamel protection, anti-sensitivity, fluoride, protection against tartar, etc.). The 30 dispensers 300 can additionally be marked with indicia and / or color-coded for identify and correspond with the particular oral care formula contained in the dispenser. Still in additional embodiments of the kit, toothbrush 200 may have a user-replaceable head 230 and ki t may include one or more preferably such heads of different types and / or configurations of cleaning elements / engagement 35 with tooth 235 and / or tongue cleaners. Now, referring to FIGS. 14 and 15 simultaneously, the oral care systems 10OC and IQOD are illustrated. The oral care systems lOOC and IOOD are identical to the oral care system 100 of the FlGS, 1 to 7B with the exception that the ends of% hold 302B, C of the 30OB, C dispenser are formatted so that a user can easily hold the 30OB, C dispensers to remove toothbrushes 200. The 30OB dispenser has an enlarged end while the 30OC dispenser has a bulb-shaped end. The FlGS. 16 through 34 show an alternative embodiment of an oral care system according to the present invention which can be an oral care system in some embodiments. In this embodiment, as further described below, the toothbrush handle has an elongated longitudinal opening leading to a cavity adapted to receive so that a dispenser can be removed therein. The opening in this alternative toothbrush handle is formed along a substantial longitudinal part of the handle, whereas the opening 215 in the handle portion 210 of the toothbrush 200 previously described with respect to system 100 (see, for example, Figure 6) is substantially located at the close end part 212 of the cable and aligned axially with the longitudinal geometric axis. In addition, while the oral care agent dispenser 300 is essentially inserted and removed axially from the handle 210 and its inner cavity 240, the dispenser in this alternative embodiment of the oral care system 500 can be at least. . partially laterally / transversely inserted in the cable for laying and assembly. In addition, as further described in this document for this
    In an alternative embodiment, the dispenser itself can form a substantial part of the toothbrush handle that is advantageously held by the user in this way, providing ready access and convenient use of the dispenser. Now, referring initially to FlGS, 16 to 19, an alternative embodiment 25 of an oral care system 500 generally includes a toothbrush 600 and a dispenser 700 arranged so that it can be removed therein. The toothbrush 600 and the dispenser 700 can generally be similar to the toothbrush 200 and the dispenser 300 in structure, manufacture and functionality for the oral care system 100 and its components as already described in this document, except for the 30 differences as especially noted in the description of the oral care system 500 below. The dispenser 700 is mobile between a storage state shown in FlG. 16 in which the dispenser is housed or mounted on the toothbrush handle 610 and an application status shown in FlG. 17 in which the dispenser 700 is disassembled or removed from the cable 610 and ready for use in an oral care regime. Continuing with reference to the FlGS. 16 to 20, the toothbrush 600 usually
    W includes a cable part 610, a narrower part 620 and a head part 630. The cable 610 can be a single or multi-part construction. The 610 cable extends to. from a near end 612 to a distal end 613 along a longitudinal axis A-A. Cable 610 includes an upper part 660 defining a surface or upper side 652, a lower part 661 defining a surface or lower side 653, and the pair of opposite and spaced peripheral or lateral surfaces or sides 650, 651 if extending between the upper and lower sides. The top 660 dQ cable 610 is fixedly connected to the distal end part 613 of the cable (i.e., distal sheath part 661 in one embodiment) and extends longitudinally back to the next end 612 of cable 610 Consequently, as further explained in this document, the upper part 660 forms a cantilevered part of the cable 610 that engages in a way that can be separated and supports the dispenser 700. The cable 610 changes to the narrower part 620 at the distal end 613 of the handle, which supports the toothbrush head 630 via the handle 610. Although the narrower part 620 may have a smaller cross-sectional area in relation to the handle 620, the invention is thus not limited. Continuing with reference to the FlGS. 16 to 20, the toothbrush head 630, the narrowest part 620 and the toothbrush handle 610 600 can be formed together. - a single structure, or, in other embodiments, these parts can be formed as 20 separate structures that are removably assembled together or can be
    D separate. In some embodiments, the head 630 can be sealed so that it can be removed with the narrower part 620 thereby forming a head that can be replaced by the user, which allows the user to replace heads with cleaning / engaging elements with the worn teeth or alteme heads having 25 cleaning elements of various types. The head 630 generally comprises a front surface 631, a rear surface 632 and a side or peripheral surface 633. The front surface 631 comprises various oral cleaning elements such as engaging elements with tooth 635 extending from it for contact with an oral surface and / or with spaces between the teeth. The engagement elements with tooth 635 30 can generally be formed from various types of cleaning elements, such as those already described in this document with respect to the engagement elements with tooth 235. Referring to FlGS. 16 through 22, in preferred illustrative embodiments, cable 610 includes a removable part that defines and incorporates a manual dispenser 700 adapted to contain and dispense an oral care agent on a desired surface in a user's oral cavity. Consequently, a substantial part and preferably most of the toothbrush handle 610 is cut both circumferentially and longitudinally to form an elongated cavity extending longitudinally
    W wide open 640 with access opening 615 along side sides 650, 651 and bottom 653 of cable 610 to receive so that it can be removed and support dispenser 700. Opening 615 extends both axially and transversely to the axis longitudinal geometric AA of the toothbrush handle 610 so that the near end 612, the sides 650, 651, and the undersides 653 of the toothbrush handle are substantially open in the frame while only the upper side 652 is a closed structure, as best seen in FlGS, 20 and 33. When the dispenser 700 is mounted on the toothbrush handle 610, the dispenser 700 and more specifically, the housing 701, con) comprises a substantial part of the toothbrush handle tooth 610 in this 10 alternative illustrative oral care system 500 as shown.
    In one embodiment, the housing 701 of the dispenser 700 substantially forms most of the lower part or half of the toothbrush handle 610. The toothbrush handle 610 therefore has only the upper part 660 and the partial side 652 in areas adjacent to cavity 640, from this node exposing the bottom side of the top of the cable 652. The top side 652 of the cable 610, therefore, simply provides a core or support structure for mounting the dispenser 700 below the brush tooth 600, where the dispenser 700 replaces and forms most of the sides 650, 651 and the bottom side 653 of the toothbrush handle, except for the distal major part of the handle near the transition. "for the narrowest part 620. Advantageously, in contrast to the embodiment 20 shown in FlGS. 1 to 3, the maximum cross-sectional size or diameter of the .701 housing of the dispenser 700 is not restricted by the cross-sectional size or the ' diameter of the toothbrush handle different from the handle 210 (see FlGS. 1 to 3 and 7A) which must be dimensioned to accommodate a substantial part of the dispenser 300 in the same as shown.
    In certain cases, where desirable, this allows the size of the dispenser 25 700 and the associated volumetric capacity of the reservoir 708 to be made as large as possible, being limited mainly only by the size as a whole selected for the toothbrush 600 that will fit comfortably in the user's hand.
    Referring mainly to FGS. 17, 20 and 31, q toothbrush handle 610 and 30 more particularly, the top side 652, defines the peripheral, rear and front mounting edges 655, which are configured and dimensioned to fit correspondingly and engage with the peripheral mounting edges 763 in the dispenser housing 701 best presented in FlGS, 23, 24 and 34, when the dispenser is connected with the toothbrush 600. Preferably, the edges 655 and 763 of the cable 610 and 35 of the housing dispenser 701 respectively mutually align to form a relatively uniform circumferential surface when joined together to maintain a smooth transition between the cable 610 and the dispenser housing 701 for user comfort purposes.
    In some embodiments, all or part of the peripheral mounting edges
    ¥ · 763 in dispenser 700 can be formed on the soft elastic support 700 additionally described in this document.
    The bottom surface 753 of the dispenser is also preferably contoured for smooth transition to the corresponding coupling surface 653 of the cable 610. Now referring to the FlGS. 17, 20, 22 and 28, illustrative embodiments of the cavity 640 with the access opening 615 in the toothbrush handle 610 have an axial length L (FlG. 20) which preferably extends to at least half the axial length of the handle 610 measured between the distal end 613 and the next end 10 612, and more preferably, for a greater part of the length of the cable to maximize the storage capacity of the reservoir 708 of the dispenser 700 and to facilitate the act of holding the dispenser.
    In preferred illustrative embodiments, opening 615 and the corresponding cavity 640 extend approximately more than half the height H and the circumference of cable 610 as shown in 15 FlG. 22- Most of the front part of the cavity 640 is preferably circumferentially
    - wrapped by the distal end 613 of the toothbrush handle 610 as best shown in the FlGS. 20, 22 and 28 to form a generally tubular lower part 656 configured and adapted to receive the distal dispensing end 703 and the applicator 20 709 of the dispenser 700 therein. This fully wrapped sheath part 656 facilitates. keep dispenser housing 700 on abo 610 and protect applicator 709 from damage when the dispenser is in the housed or storage state attached to toothbrush 600. The distal or front end of sheath part 656 is closed while the rear end the sheath part is opened to receive the distal end of the dispenser 703 of the dispenser therein.
    In some embodiments, a socket 654 may be provided at the front end of the sheath portion 656 in the cavity 640 which is configured and adapted to receive an axially projecting plug 750 disposed in applicator 709 (see FlG. 29) to further assist in holding the distal dispensing end 703. 30 The rear part of the dispenser 700 is secured so that it can be separated near the toothbrush handle 610 via a locking mechanism arranged towards the nearby end 612 of the handle.
    Referring to the FlGS. 20, 23, 24 and 31 through 33, the locking mechanism of the dispenser 800 can be comprised of a flap and recess locking arrangement cooperating in an illustrative embodiment.
    The housing 35 of the dispenser 701 includes a pair of laterally / transversely separated mounting recesses 800 which are configured and adapted to receive a pair of separate side mounting flaps 801 arranged on the toothbrush handle 610. In one
    "embodiment, the mounting tabs 801 are arranged on the bottom side of the top side 652 of the tooth pocket housing 610 and project inwards towards the longitudinal axis AA and include an extended front section 802 and a section narrower rear 803, as best shown in FlG 31. The correspondingly recessed mounting recess 5 800 includes an enlarged front section 804 and a narrower rear section 805, as best shown in FlGS 32 and 33. The recess of locking 800 additionally includes a locking ear 806 disposed in the rear section 805 which protrudes laterally / transversely outwards from the dispenser 700. When the dispenser 700 is mounted next to the toothbrush handle 610, the extended section 10 802 of the mounting tab 801 becomes positioned and engages with the corresponding extended section 804 of mounting recess 800 and the narrower section 803 of mounting tab 801 becomes positioned and engages with the corresponding narrowest section 805 of the mounting recess 800. The locking ear 806 of the friction mounting recess engages with a rear of the narrowest section 803 of the mounting flap 151 to connect so that it can be removed, however safely, the dispenser 700 with the toothbrush handle 610 via a characteristic "click" action. Since the upper side 652 of the toothbrush handle 610 adjacent to the cavity 640 is preferably relatively thin in thickness to be at least "" partially elastic to a degree, the toothbrush handle is able to flex 20 laterally / transversely to the longitudinal geometric axis AA in response to. dispenser 700 being inserted into it when the mounting tabs 801 engage with the mounting recesses 800- The extended sections 802 of the mounting tabs 801 will tend to engage with the dispenser housing first before the narrower sections
    803. Sections 803 are received at the locking part 807 of the recess 800 below the 25 locking ears 806 and they go backwards (or click) inwards into the location to complete the assembly. The FlGS. 29 and 30 are seen in cross section showing the dispenser 700 fully seated or mounted on the tooth brush tooth 610. Now, the dispenser 700 will be further described. The FlGS. 23 through 26 30 show several views of the alternative dispenser 700 with the FlG, 700 being a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the dispenser 700. In one embodiment, the dispenser 700 is an elongated and generally tubular pen structure that can be similar to the dispenser 300 already described in this document (see FlGS. 5, 7a and 7b) with respect to functionality and general construction. Some aspects of the dispenser 700, 35 including the connection mechanism for assembly so that it can be separated with the 610 cable, the configuration, and other aspects, however, have been modified as will now be further described.
    µ
    Continuing with reference to the FlGS. 23 through 26, the dispenser 700 includes a housing 701 extending between a close end 702 and a distal dispensing end 703. As already noted in this document, housing 701 can be considered to form essentially a removable part of the brush handle tooth 5 610. In some embodiments, housing 701 may comprise layers, inner and outer, similarly to inner layer 306 and outer layer 307 of shell 301 shown in FlG. 5. Alternatively, in the achievement as best presented in the FlG. 26, housing 701 has a relatively single-layered shielding construction formed of a preferably rigid material which can be a relatively rigid hard plastic / polymer 10 such as a thermoplastic similar to the materials already described in this document with respect to the inner layer 306 of the housing This provides structural rigidity for the dispenser 700. In some embodiments, at least part of the casing 701 may include flexible, elastically deformable parts to allow the user to squeeze and pressurize the contents of the dispenser to release the active oral care agent.
    Optionally, in some embodiments, at least part of the external side
    - the housing 701 may include a soft, non-slip elastic support 752 formed of a material such as an elastomer (for example, as already described in this document with respect to "" the outer layer 307 of the housing 301) to provide a resistant holding surface sliding and comfortable for the user.
    Since in this alternative embodiment of the oral care system 500 the dispenser 700 replaces and forms a functional part of the toothbrush handle 610, the elastic support 752 in some embodiments preferably covers at least part, and more preferably, one most exposed parts of the dispenser 700 when mounted on the handle 710. 25 This facilitates the removal and reinsertion of the dispenser 700 in the toothbrush handle 610 by allowing the dispenser 700 to be easily picked up by the user, especially with grinding hands after use. brushing.
    In less than one embodiment, the support 752 can cover most of the lower half of the dispenser 700 and the housing 701 including the surface or underside 753 and parts of the surfaces q side walls 754, 755 of the housing (see, for example) , FlGS. 21, 23 to 26 and 34). The support 752 need not cover the surface or top side 766 or the distal end of the dispenser 703 of the dispenser as these parts will be housed within the toothbrush handle 610 when the dispenser is seated on the handle.
    The elastic support 752 can be connected to the housing 701 by any suitable conventional device used in the art and already described in this document, including, without limitation, joint molding and adhesives.
    Continuing with reference to the FlGS. 23 through 26, housing 701 forms an internal chamber that defines a reservoir 708 to hold the desired oral care agent.
    Oral care agents that can be used have already been described in detail in this document.
    Reservoir 708 is fluidly coupled with an applicator 709 projecting forward from the dispensing end 703 of housing 701. In this embodiment of dispenser 700, equivalents of a release channel 310 and an overflow chamber 31 (see , for example, FIG, 4 and the description in this document) are omitted.
    Instead, the fluid-containing oral care agent is in direct contact with the 709 applicator as best presented in the FlGS. 26 and 29. Applicator 709 may include an internal flow conduit 756 that fluidly communicates with reservoir 708 to facilitate uniform wetting of the applicator with the oral care agent. 10 Referring to FlGS. 23 through 26 and 29, applicator 709 can be constructed of bristles, a porous or sponge material, or a fibrillated material similar to applicator 309 already described in this document.
    The applicator 709 includes a stem part 757 in an embodiment that is received and engages by friction with the distal dispensing end 703 to retain the applicator in housing 701. The applicator 709 additionally includes a plug 750 15 that is received and retained in a manner that can be removed in the applicator.
    In one embodiment, plug 750 may be formed from a polypropylene or elastomeric material, examples of which have already been described in this document.
    In a possible illustrative embodiment, plug 750 includes a front head 762 and an adjacent shank extending "back" 760 which is received so that it can be removed in an axial hole 20! such as aisle 758 provided at the rear end of applicator 709. n
    Corridor 758 fluidly communicates with fluid conduit 756 of applicator 709 and provides an orifice for dispensing the high flow oral care agent or other oral care agent from dispenser 700. Preferably, corridor 758 has a internal diameter and flow area with a smaller cross-section than the adjacent flow duct 25 756 to restrict and regulate the flow of oral care agent from the dispenser 700- Based on the viscosity of the high fluidity oral care agent released by the dispenser , those skilled in the art can readily determine an appropriate internal diameter (i.e., orifice size) for the 758 aisle to establish a desired product dispensing flow rate for a user.
    In contrast to the 309 porous type applicator shown in FlG, 4 which does not have an open flow release duct or corridor extending completely through the applicator to the outside, the orifice dispensing system used in applicator 709 advantageously it is best suited for dispensing oral care agents or more viscous products such as gels and pastes. 35 Continuing with reference to the FLGS. 23 through 26 and 29, plug 750 including head 762 and stem 760 can generally be cylindrical in shape.
    The plug 750 can additionally include an annular flange 761 to prevent excessive plug insertion
    "inside aisle 758 (see FlGS. 26 and 29). Now, with additional reference to FIGS. 28 and 29, the removable plug 750 can additionally include several flexible annular ribs projecting radially 751 that do not perform various functions. The ribs 751 are configured and adapted to be elastically deformed and to engage by friction with a complementarily configured cylindrical fit 654 internally arranged on the toothbrush handle 610 near the distal end 613 at the front of the inner cavity 640. The ribs 751 hold so that the distal end 703 on the toothbrush handle 701 can be separated. The plug 750 additionally provides additional benefits, 10 including preventing spillage of the oral care agent while filling the dispenser 700 during manufacture, reducing chance of the oral care agent leaking after the manufacturing phase, and keeping the exposed tip of applicator 709 (impa between uses by us uary. Referring to the FlGS. 26, 27 and 34, the rear or near end portion 702 15 of the dispenser 700 includes an attachable cover 900 that seals the near end 702 of the dispenser. The lid 900 can be formed of an elastic elastomeric material in - some coricretizations and acts as a push button to advance an internal rod mechanism 904 of the dispenser 700 and thereby release oral care agent through applicator 709. The lid 900 compresses to perform the fast forward function and then return 20 to its original format. The cover also provides comfort for the user both
    U when toothbrush 600 is used in brushing mode with the dispenser 700 fully seated in it as when the dispenser 700 is separated from the toothbrush for application of the oral care agent to the teeth. In one embodiment, cap 900 preferably includes an annular flange 901 which engages with a groove formed 25 at the near or rear end of dispenser 700. Flange 901 is preferably made of a stiffer material than cap 900 to form It is advantageous to provide a surface for pressing the lid into position on the dispenser 700 after the dispenser is filled with the oral care agent during the manufacturing process. The close end portion 702 of the dispenser housing 701 may include one or more raised protrusions 765 arranged close to the annular edge 764 which correspondingly engages with one or more annular grooves 902 (see FlG. 27) on the cover 900 the lid and provide a leak-resistant back seal from the dispenser. In some embodiments, as shown, the rod extending axially forward 902 can be mounted on the lid 900 to 35 additionally holding the lid close to the dispenser housing 701. As best shown in FlG. 27, the rod 904 may include several axially separated serrations which are configured to engage with a retention mechanism 905 disposed at the close end 702 of the dispenser 700. An illustrative method of using the toothbrush 600 and the dispenser 700. will now be briefly described- The dispenser 700 with the plug 650 is filled with an oral care material and inserted into a toothbrush 600.

After the user completes brushing his teeth with toothbrush 600, or alternatively, before brushing his teeth, the user holds the dispenser housing 701 (preferably on the support part 752 if provided) and pulls the part 15 near the dispenser near or at the near end 702 to the outside and away from the toothbrush handle 610 by applying a force F initially in a direction generally transverse to the longitudinal geometric axis AA, since the distal end of the dispenser 702 is still seated on the sheath part 656 of the '' 610 toothbrush handle (see, for example, FlG. 29), this initial action applied by the user is an action of articulation with the dispenser and acting as an articulation point.
    The rear or near half of the dispenser will therefore articulate in an arcuate path initially away from the 610 toothbrush handle (see, for example, FlG. 16 and applied force F) at an angle with respect to the tooth handle. toothbrush and longitudinal axis AA- The locking ears 806 of the housing of the dispenser 701 release the mounting tabs on the handle of the toothbrush 610 (see FlGS. 31 to 33) and the mounting tabs are removed from the mounting recesses 800 of the dispenser housing. This separates the close end 702 of the dispenser 700 from the toothbrush handle 610. The user can then remove from the sheath or pull the distal end of the dispenser 703 from the sheath portion 656 of the 30 tooth brush handle 610 can slide the dispenser 700 backwards in a generally axial direction along the longitudinal geometry axis 700 adjacent the applicator 709 to be retained in the slot 654 on the toothbrush handle 610, thereby exposing the applicator.
    The upright user can completely remove the dispenser 700 from the toothbrush 600 as shown in FlG. 17 which is now in the application state being completely separated from the 35 tooth brush.
    Then, the user applies the care agent now! next to the teeth and / or next to other parts of the oral cavity, as required, with c) applicator.
    To reinsert the dispenser 700 back into the toothbrush handle 610, the
    "user simply repeats the previous steps in reverse. The dispenser 700 is then returned to the storage state shown in FlG. 16. It must be noted that while the dispenser 300 is removed and reinserted from / from toothbrush 200 by applying only an axial force and movement to the dispenser, 5 the dispenser 700 is removed from the toothbrush 600 by a combination of both transverse and axial forces and movement as described above. toothbrush handle 610 can additionally include a window 657 as best shown in FlG. 19. In a preferred illustrative embodiment, window 657 can be comprised of a relatively clear and transparent insert 10 658 which is arranged in an opening 659 in the handle 610 having a complementary shape to the insert The window insert 658 can be formed as a separate part and connected with cable 610 by any suitable device used in the art, such as adhesives, heat or ultrasonic welding, or can be molded together with the cable. Preferably, the window 657 is positioned on the handle of the 15 tooth brush 610 so that at least part of the applicator 709 of the dispenser 700 is visible through the window when the dispenser is mounted on the handle 710. The window 657 - communicates to the consumer / user that there is another product incorporated in toothbrush 600. In some possible embodiments, different dispensers 700 "" may be available, which contain different oral care agents or formulations (for example, whitening, enamel protection, anti -sensitive, aromas, etc.). The applicator - 709 and the distal dispensing end 703 of the dispenser housing 701 can be color coded and / or include evidence to match a particular type of oral care agent formulation contained therein. This would allow the user to quickly identify which formulation is currently contained in the dispenser 700 housed in toothbrush 25 600.
