Oral care system
The present disclosure generally relates to oral care systems and devices. An oral care system includes a container defining an interior portion and a moveable funnel configured to slide in the interior portion of the container. The moveable funnel includes a funnel portion having a base connected to a tube, where a distal end of the tube includes a cutting edge angled relative to a central axis of the tube. The system further includes a toothbrush supported by the tube, the toothbrush having a handle extending out from the container.
1. An oral care system comprising:
a container comprising a first opening at a first end and a second opening at a second end opposite of the first end, the container defining an interior portion;
a moveable funnel configured to slide through the first opening and into the interior portion of the container, wherein the moveable funnel comprises a funnel portion having a base connected to a tube, wherein a distal end of the tube includes a cutting edge angled relative to a central axis of the tube; and
a toothbrush supported by the tube, the toothbrush comprising a handle extending out from the container.
2. The oral care system of claim 1 , wherein movement of the toothbrush is caused by manipulation of the handle, and wherein movement of the toothbrush further causes the moveable funnel to slide in the interior portion of the container.
3. The oral care system of claim 1 , further comprising a repository configured to hold a fluid and having a barrier configured to be breached.
4. The oral care system of claim 3 , wherein:
the second opening is configured to receive the repository; and
the repository is coupled to a bottom portion of the container.
5. The oral care system of claim 3 , wherein movement of the toothbrush causes the distal end of the tube to breach the barrier.
6. The oral care system of claim 3 , wherein movement of the moveable funnel causes the cutting edge to breach the barrier.
7. The oral care system of claim 1 , wherein the tube includes an indentation forming a portion having a smaller diameter, thereby requiring a force to remove the toothbrush from the tube.
8. The oral care system of claim 1 , wherein the tube further comprises projections extending from an exterior surface of the tube, the projections configured to interact with an internal chamber of the container to prevent the tube from being removed from the container.
9. The oral care system of claim 8 , wherein the projections are angled such that the moveable funnel can be inserted into the internal chamber, but once inserted, the projections interact with the internal chamber of the container to prevent the tube from being removed from the container.
10. The oral care system of claim 1 , wherein the interior portion of the container includes an internal chamber, and wherein the internal chamber is configured to interact with the funnel portion of the moveable funnel to limit movement of the moveable funnel in the interior portion.
11. The oral care system of claim 10 , wherein the internal chamber comprises a second funnel portion and a neck portion.
12. The oral care system of claim 10 , wherein movement of the toothbrush by manipulation of the handle in a direction of a repository, once movement of the moveable funnel has been limited by the internal chamber, causes the toothbrush to move past the distal end of the tube into the repository.
13. The oral care system of claim 1 , wherein the toothbrush comprises a plurality of projections formed on the handle.
14. The oral care system of claim 13 , wherein at least one of the plurality of projections is configured to seal the interior portion from an exterior of the container.
15. The oral care system of claim 1 , wherein the moveable funnel further comprises apertures formed in a side wall of the tube to allow flow of fluid out of the tube and into the interior portion of the container.
16. An oral care system comprising:
a container defining an interior portion;
a moveable funnel configured to slide in the interior portion of the container, wherein the moveable funnel comprises a funnel portion having a base connected to a tube, wherein a distal end of the tube includes a cutting edge angled relative to a central axis of the tube;
a repository configured to hold a fluid and having a barrier configured to be breached; and
a toothbrush supported by the tube, the toothbrush comprising a handle extending out from the container.
17. The oral care system of claim 16 , wherein the repository is coupled to a bottom portion of the container.
18. The oral care system of claim 16 , wherein movement of the toothbrush causes the distal end of the tube to breach the barrier.
19. The oral care system of claim 16 , wherein movement of the moveable funnel causes the cutting edge to breach the barrier.
20. An oral care system comprising:
a container defining an interior portion;
a moveable funnel configured to slide in the interior portion of the container, wherein the moveable funnel comprises:
a funnel portion having a base connected to a tube, wherein a distal end of the tube includes a cutting edge angled relative to a central axis of the tube, and
apertures formed in a side wall of the tube to allow flow of fluid out of the tube and into the interior portion of the container; and
a toothbrush supported by the tube, the toothbrush comprising a handle extending out from the container.
