Benefits of technology
[0009]Furthermore, the toothpaste tube of the present invention is configured with at least one air vent near the head for preventing the backflow of the toothpaste. Generally, when the toothpaste tube is squeezed by the user, the pressure inside the toothpaste tube is greater than the outside air pressure, and therefore the outside air is prevented from entering the toothpaste tube from the air vent, i.e., the air vent is locked. When the user stops squeezing the toothpaste tube, the toothpaste tube intends to recover its previous form, thus causing a negative pressure inside the toothpaste tube. In this case, outside air can be inhaled from the air vent, so as to prevent the backflow of the toothpaste from the outlet.
[0010]Comparing with the conventional arts, the toothpaste tube of the present invention allows different members to extrude the toothpaste from their own outlets. Since every member has his own outlet for extruding the toothpaste, cross infection of oral disease caused by sharing one toothpaste tube can be avoided. Further, the present invention advantageously avoids the waste of toothpaste caused by everyone having one toothpaste tube.
Problems solved by technology
In addition, when each family member has his own toothpaste, the toothpastes occupy too much space in the toilet, and when they are discarded, they further cause environmental problems.
When the user stops squeezing the toothpaste tube, the toothpaste tube intends to recover its previous form, thus causing a negative pressure inside the toothpaste tube.

A toothpaste container having multiple outlets is provided. The toothpaste container includes a toothpaste tube, at least two heads distributed on the toothpaste tube, and at least two caps correspondingly provided to the heads. Each head has an outlet allowing the toothpaste contained in the toothpaste tube to be extruded therefrom. At least one air vent is configured at the toothpaste tube near the head. The caps are assigned with different colors or symbols, so that they can be conveniently identified by their hosts. As such, each family member has his own outlet, from which the toothpaste can be extruded. Therefore, cross infection of oral disease among family members can be avoided. Further, the present invention allows a plurality of persons to in common use one toothpaste tube while remaining individuals being well protected. Moreover, the present invention also saves the space in toilet which would have been often occupied by many toothpaste tubes.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to a toothpaste container, and more particularly, to a toothpaste tube having a plurality of outlets and air vents.[0003]2. The Prior Arts[0004]FIG. 1 depicts a conventional toothpaste container. Referring to FIG. 1, the conventional toothpaste container includes a toothpaste tube 13, a head 12 configured at an end of the toothpaste tube 13, and a cap 11 provided for matching the head 12. The toothpaste tube 13 is made of flexible material so that the toothpaste tube 13 is flexible and adapted for containing desired content, e.g., toothpaste therein. When the toothpaste tube 13 is squeezed by a user, the inside volume of the tube is correspondingly changed, and the toothpaste contained in the toothpaste tube 13 is extruded out from an outlet configured at the head 12.[0005]Typically, one person is suggested to brush his teeth for two or more times every day. However, when extrudin...
