FIG. 2 , in one embodiment, the present invention is assembled in the following manner. In some alternate embodiments of the present invention, the top 10 andbase 5, along with thehinge 15 are molded of the same materials and at the same source, In such embodiment the unit 1 is assembled by placing the toothbrush or cleaningtool 35 into theclasp 30 and then firmly pressing down until theclasp 30 is firmly engaging the toothbrush or cleaningtool 35. Then top 10 andbase 5 are rotated abouthinge 15 such that theside walls clasp 30 and on the interior of thebase 20 prior to shutting or engaging the unit 1. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , in one embodiment, the present invention is assembled in the following manner. In some alternate embodiments of the present invention, the top 10 andbase 5, along with thehinge 15 are all separate units that need to be assembled. In said embodiments, the unit 1 is first assembled by attachinghinge 15 to both top 10 andbase 5 by mechanical attachment which can include, but are not limited to screws, soldering, gluing and/or pinning. After the top 10,base 5, and hinge 15 are assembled the toothbrush or cleaningtool 35 is placed into theclasp 30 and then firmly pressed down until theclasp 30 is firmly engaging the toothbrush or cleaningtool 35. Then top 10 andbase 5 are rotated abouthinge 15 such that theside walls clasp 30 and on the interior of thebase 20 prior to shutting or engaging the unit 1. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , in one embodiment, the present invention functions in the following manner. Once the unit 1 is assembled the user can open the unit 1, by movingtop 10 via rotating acrosshinge 15 frombase 5. At this point the user can insert or remove a dental implement 40 from unit 1, insert or remove toothbrush or cleaningtool 35 fromclasp 30, and/or simply close unit 1 for future use. if dental implement 40 and toothbrush or cleaningtool 35 is removed then the toothbrush or cleaningtool 35 can be used to clean the dental implement 40 in the standard manner for cleaning dental implements. As illustrated inFIG. 3 , proprietary shaped bristles 50, which maybe, as illustrated, in an ascending length from each side of thehead 37configuration 53 offer increased surface area on thebristles 50 and therefore offer improved cleaning of the dental implement 40 when the toothbrush or cleaningtool 35 engages the dental implement 40. - Although several preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail herein, the invention is not limited hereto. It will be appreciated by those having ordinary skill in the art that various modifications can be made without materially departing from the novel and advantageous teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed herein are by way of example. It is to be understood that the scope of the invention is not to be limited thereby.
