Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to toothbrushes but more
  • a lot of toothbrush holders consist in horizontal plates located near the bathroom sink and having holes therein to put toothbrushes.
  • the problem is that the bristles of the toothbrushes are constantly resting on the holder's surface and, besides deforming the shape of the bristles, the bristles are left in a damp environment because the holder does not drain properly and after using the toothbrush, saliva, toothpaste, and water are allowed to settle in and produce a breeding ground for bacteria and cross-infection between household members.
  • toothbrushes are also placed in a drinking glass which results in even less drainage.
  • the notched toothbrush has a handle portion; a neck portion; and a head portion that includes a brush portion thereon; wherein the handle portion includes at least one notch adapted to hook onto a holding member such that the toothbrush can be held at an angle away from a vertical axis of the holding member wherein excess water, saliva, toothpaste, and any bacteria associated therewith can drip down and away from the toothbrush and holding member.
  • the notched toothbrush has at least one notch that is cut into the handle at an angle relative to the length of the toothbrush, such that the toothbrush is adapted to be placed on the holding member at the angle away from the vertical axis of the holding member.
  • the notched toothbrush has at least one notch that is curved and adapted to hook onto a curved lip portion of a drinking glass.
  • the notched toothbrush has at least one notch that is straight and adapted to hook onto an end seam of a toothpaste tube.
  • the notched toothbrush comprises two notches separated along the length of the handle portion, and wherein one of the two notches is a straight notch adapted to hook onto a straight holding edge of the holding member, and wherein one of the two notches is a curved notch adapted to hook onto a curved lip portion of a drinking glass.
  • a combination of a notched toothbrush and a toothbrush holder comprising a handle portion; a neck portion; and a head portion that includes a brush portion thereon; wherein the handle portion includes at least one notch adapted to hook onto a holding member; and the toothbrush holder comprising a base portion, a holder portion, and holding members extending from the holder portion and having holding edges thereon, such that the toothbrush can be placed on one of the holding edges and held at an angle away from a vertical axis of the toothbrush holder, wherein excess water, toothpaste, and any bacteria associated therewith can drip down and away from the toothbrush and toothbrush holder.
  • the holder portion includes five holding members, wherein the five holding members includes two holding members on an opposite side of the holder portion from another two holding members, and one holding member within the hole.
  • a toothbrush kit includes a notched toothbrush, a toothbrush holder, and an outer packaging member adapted to hold the kit together, wherein the notched toothbrush comprising a handle portion; a neck portion; and a head portion that includes a brush portion thereon; wherein the handle portion includes at least one notch adapted to hook onto a holding member; wherein the toothbrush holder comprising a base portion, a holder portion, and holding members extending from the holder portion and having holding edges thereon, such that the toothbrush can be placed on one of the holding edges and held at an angle away from a vertical axis of the holding member wherein excess water, toothpaste, and any bacteria associated therewith can drip down and away from the toothbrush and holding member; and wherein the outer packaging member is adapted to surround and enclose the toothbrush and holder in order to store and carry the toothbrush and holder together.
