Description
Title of the invention: Toothbrush with protective cap serving as a toothpaste reservoir
[0001] The invention consists of a disposable, single-use, and fully biodegradable toothbrush (bamboo, corn starch, etc.) whose bristles are covered with a protective cap clip serving as a toothpaste reservoir.
[0002] The European Union bans single-use plastics to avoid tons of non-biodegradable material. This toothbrush will not only provide protection but, thanks to its clip, will eliminate the need for the ubiquitous "little tube of toothpaste." This will be relevant in hotels, airplanes, dentists, etc.
[0003] This ready-to-use toothbrush, characterized by its reservoir for liquid or powder toothpaste, the snap-on of which will maintain its non-oxidation and non-drying
[0004] The perforated part of the clip allows for perfect dosing, and its flexible, biodegradable cornstarch material allows the clip to be easily squeezed to dispense the contents. The toothbrush bristles will thus remain moist.
[0005] Optional, rechargeable clip with a film protecting the perforated part.
