Problems solved by technology

While hand-held flusher units are generally smaller than countertop units and are easier to carry, because the reservoir is attached to the handle, the reservoir is usually smaller than the countertop unit reservoir, and thus may not provide as much utility as the user may desire. fluid for flushing

Embodiment Construction

[0063] Examples of the present disclosure include oral irrigators having a reduced form factor compared to conventional countertop oral irrigators. The oral irrigator includes a base, a removable reservoir, a power assembly, a drive assembly, a handle, and a pump assembly. In one embodiment, the reservoir and power assembly are each reconfigurable from a storage or collapsed position to a use or extended position. For example, the reservoir can transition from being seated on the top surface of the base in a use position to a storage position in which the reservoir is disconnected from the base unit and the base unit is inserted into the reservoir cavity for use for storage. Similarly, the power components are stored in compartments in the base, but are removed from the base and connected to a power source (such as a power outlet) when in use. The handle can also be selectively connected and disconnected from the base and the reservoir to allow removal and storage of the han...

Abstract

An oral irrigator has a removable reservoir defining a reservoir cavity, a base unit housing a motor and a pump, and a handle for directing fluid flow from the pump, the handle being removably connected to the base unit and fluidly coupled to the pump by a hose. The handle has a housing defining a slot formed in an outer wall of the housing. The slot is defined by two opposing walls spaced apart from each other and a lateral wall at the internal terminating ends of the opposing walls. The outer wall of the housing opens to the slot at the sides of the two opposing walls and at the base ends of the opposing walls opposite the transverse wall.
