Filed:

Oct 25, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/696404

Inventors:

Davis V. Yates - Lakeland FL 33813
Charles H. Howell - Lakeland FL 33813

International Classification:

A45D 4400

US Classification:

132309, 220521, 211 65, 248111

Abstract:

A frusto-conical member has a planar rim disposed at a bottom closed end and a circular open portion disposed at a top end. A lid having a plurality holes formed therethrough inserts over the frusto-conical open portion and is retained by friction. An elongated portion of a toothbrush is inserted through one of the holes formed in the lid for retaining the toothbrush in an upright position such that bristles of the toothbrush are exposed to the ambient air. A grommet having a center aperture is inserted into one of the holes in the lid. Disposed underneath the grommet is a small housing for retaining a source of dental floss. The housing includes a cover having a tip portion which inserts through the grommet aperture. The source of dental floss threads through the tip portion and out through the grommet aperture. A small cutter element is disposed along an outer circumference of the frusto-conical member below the grommet and is used to cut a strand of desired length from the source of dental floss.

Abstract:

A moisture management apparatus monitors an area for moisture events and wirelessly transmits moisture-related information to one or more notification devices. An embodiment of the moisture management apparatus includes a substrate and one or more sensors supported by the substrate. The sensor(s) emit wireless signals indicative of the moisture-related information. A sensor event communication system forwards the sensor signals to another device, such as a notification device. The sensor event communication system may monitor other types of patient events. Portions of the moisture management apparatus and/or the moisture event communication system may be embodied in a patient support apparatus, such as a bed.
