摘要:
A fluid-dispensing power toothbrush which includes a handle portion with a housing, a head portion and a fluid delivery system. The fluid delivery system includes a fluid reservoir and a fluid pump which are positioned to extend substantially along an outer surface of the housing of the handle portion. A cover member is pivotally attached to the housing and is configured to overlay and mate with a portion of the housing to form the exterior surface of a lower portion of the toothbrush when the cover member is in a closed position.

The attachment system includes a brushhead assembly having a spring/carrier combination which comprises a spring assembly and a separate carrier assembly, adapted to mate as a combination with a receiving portion, in the form of a cup member, at the top of the handle of the toothbrush. The spring/carrier combination includes a slot which mates snugly with a vertical rib on the inside surface of the cup member, and further includes a portion which opposes the slot on the spring/carrier combination which mates snugly with a cut-out portion in the cup member, to prevent rotational movement of the brushhead relative to the handle. The spring/carrier assembly further includes two opposing spring finger elements which extend downwardly from an upper edge of the spring/carrier assembly and are joined thereto such that the lower ends of the spring fingers have a slightly outward springing action, wherein the lower ends of the spring fingers fit into corresponding openings in opposing sides of the cup member when the spring/carrier assembly is operatively positioned in the cup member, tending to prevent translational movement of the brushhead relative to the handle.
摘要:
A cover member for a fluid-dispensing power toothbrush which includes a handle portion, a head portion and a fluid delivery system. The fluid delivery system includes a fluid reservoir which is positioned to extend substantially entirely along an outer surface of the handle portion in operation of the toothbrush. The cover member is pivotally attached to the handle and is configured to overlay and mate with a portion of the handle and to form the exterior surface of the lower portion of the toothbrush when the cover member is in a closed position. The cover member is configured relative to the outer surface of the handle to define an open space therebetween, to accommodate the fluid reservoir when the cover member is in its closed position, the fluid reservoir being accessible for removal when the cover member is in its open position.

The fluid-dispensing power toothbrush includes a selected toothbrush architecture, generally, a handle portion, a head portion which is removable from the handle portion and a fluid-dispensing system which is removable with the head portion. The fluid-dispensing portion includes a pump and a fluid reservoir, with the reservoir being removable from the pump. The entire reservoir extends down along an exterior surface of the handle, below the lower edge of the head portion. A cover member overlies and mates with the handle, covering the reservoir when the cover member is in a closed position.
