Abstract

Method forming an oral hygiene device with corresponding germicidal receptacle is disclosed; wherein the device can be used to produce transitory oral hygiene devices; wherein the methods entails a toothbrush, a walled center closure, a disk gasket, a corresponding receptacle, a metal filament; wherein the toothbrush handle upper end is inserted through the disk gasket and closure from the bottom, away from the closure top vale, while the lower handle, neck, head and bristle end protrudes downward away from the closure bottom; wherein the toothbrush and closure with disk gasket are perpendicularly aligned where heated glue directed into the vale fuse the surfaces; the metal filament is affix to corresponding receptacle interior creating the germicidal receptacle; wherein practicing the method and a transitory oral hygiene-device structured from the glue-bond, toothbrush, closure, disk gasket, corresponding receptacle with metal filament are also disclosed.

Claims (8)

1. A method for glue-bonding a toothbrush to a closure comprising:

(a) providing a soft surface plastic or rubber closure device for a corresponding necked bottle for storing a liquid having a walled center opening, a split star center disk gasket, and a center vale;

(b) providing a bottle having a neck, shoulder, wall area, and bottom;

(c) providing a toothbrush having an upper handle, middle handle, lower handle with built-in neck adjustment part, an adjustable telescoping neck portion, a rounded catalytic head comprising a metal face area, a plurality of tufted and tapered bristles with one opposing end embedded to beneath the metal face area to a predetermined depth into the head;

(d) providing a heated glue applicator;

(e) providing glue sticks or slats of A-B-A block copolymer where A is a mono-vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and B is either a conjugated diene or a rubbery mono-olefin with at least one tackifying resin which serves to extend the adhesive properties of the system, at least one stabilizer and at least one oil diluent to produces bonds with varying combinations of low and high temperature adhesion and flexibility as well as high bond strength;

(f) positioning said toothbrush upper handle portion in through the closure bottom to extend upwardly through the closure walled center opening allowing the lower handle, neck, head and bristle end to extend downwardly below the closure bottom at a length for immersing the lower handle, neck, head, and bristle end of the toothbrush through the bottle neck top center, downwardly beyond the neck bottom at the shoulder, downwardly through the upper wall area to within the lower bottle interior towards the bottle bottom resting a minimum ¼ inch from the bottle bottom into sterilizing solution or water for anti-contamination when stored; and

(g) fusing the toothbrush handle to the closure center wall by filling the center vale with the glue from the heated glue applicator to form a leak proof seal.
