Abstract:

Toothbrush Igloo is an igloo-shaped device with an animal caricature on the top that holds a toothbrush in an horizontal position that allows users to easily apply toothpaste without requiring assistance. Users can store their toothbrushes and toothpaste in the rear compartment of the holder in between uses. When preparing to brush their teeth, users can place the handle of their brush into the horizontal opening that will secure the bristle end of the brush in an upright position, allowing for an easy toothpaste application. There may be small suction cups or other non-slip materials located on the device providing for secure placement on several locations. There may be an internal dividing wall between the rear compartment and front horizontal holder to prevent the toothbrush from being pushed too far back. The front holder is lined with rubber providing a more stable hold. During non-brushing periods the toothpaste dispenser and toothbrushes may be vertically stored.
