AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a method for protecting toothbrushes by using a cover with an open bottom end placed on top of a toothbrush holder. This allows air to flow in and out of the cover through the bottom edge of the cover, which is placed on a surface. This results in a cooling effect for the toothbrushes, which can help to prolong their lifespan.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional toothbrush covers often cover the bristles of a toothbrush and can be hard to get on the toothbrush.
This, however, can be unattractive and can take up space, often not fitting into a conventional toothbrush holder.

Conventional toothbrush covers often cover the bristles of a toothbrush and can be hard to get on the toothbrush. These covers are many times used for travel. Another conventional travel design is a case designed to hold the entire toothbrush. This, however, can be unattractive and can take up space, often not fitting into a conventional toothbrush holder.[0003]These conventional toothbrush covers, whether they cover the entire toothbrush or just the bristles, often seal the toothbrush. The resulting lack of circulation about the bristles, especially if they are wet, can create an environment conducive to the g...
