    Abstract: An oral care system includes a toothbrush and a dispenser detachably coupled to the toothbrush. The dispenser includes a collapsible bladder containing an oral care material. A compression device assembly includes an actuator operably coupled to a compression device movably mounted inside the dispenser. In one embodiment, the compression device includes a feed slot that engages opposite sides of the collapsible bladder. Actuating the actuator translates the compression device in a first longitudinal direction extruding and dispensing the oral care material from the oral care product dispenser. The actuator may be slideably mounted to the dispenser in one embodiment. A ratcheting mechanism may be provided to provide indexed movement of the compression device, thereby dispensing predetermined doses of the oral care material with each indexed movement.

    Abstract: An oral care implement having an applicator and a cover member. In one aspect, the invention is an oral care implement comprising: a handle body extending along a longitudinal axis from a distal end to a proximal end; an applicator at the proximal end of the handle body, the applicator fluidly coupled to a reservoir containing an oral care material; a cover member having a cap portion, the cap portion comprising a resilient valve that is self-biased into a closed state so as to enclose the applicator; and wherein relative positioning between the applicator and the cover member can be altered between: (1) a storage state in which the cap portion of the cover member encloses the applicator and the resilient valve is in the closed state; and (2) an application state in which the applicator extends through the resilient valve and the resilient valve is in an open state.

    Abstract: A primary storage (2) container has a body portion (4), a neck portion (6) extending from the body portion, the neck portion providing an outlet of the primary storage container, an annular fitting (10) on the neck portion for fitting a closure (12) onto the primary storage container and at least one cutting element (14) extending outwardly of the fitting in a direction away from the outlet (8); and wherein the fitting has a first bayonet coupling (42) for releasably locking into the fitting a flange (36) forming a second bayonet coupling (44). A refill container (32) has a chamber portion (34), filled with a dose of a refill composition, the chamber portion having an annular flange defining (36) an opening (38) of the chamber portion (34), and a frangible film (40) covering the opening and attached to the annular flange (36), wherein the flange (36) has a male bayonet coupling (44). The primary storage container and the refill container (32) are combined in a packaging system.

    Abstract: An oral care implement comprises a handle having a container containing oral care fluid, A head includes tooth cleaning elements and a fluid outlet to output fluid into the vicinity thereof. A manually actuatable pump mechanism in the handle between the container and fluid outlet is connected thereto by respective first and second conduits. The pump mechanism comprises a chamber having an inlet connected to the first conduit, an outlet connected to the second conduit, and an actuatable valve mechanism for selectively opening the inlet and outlet respectively to cause fluid flow into and out of the chamber. The mechanism comprises first and second valve elements and a deformable actuator connected to the first and second valve elements. A wall which defines at least a part of the chamber is adapted to be manually moved to operate the valve mechanism.
