Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a kit for dental cleaning. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] It is known that for the care and hygiene of one's teeth and more generally of the entire mouth it is advisable to brush one's teeth several times a day and at least after each meal. [0003] This habit is sometimes rendered difficult by the need to have a toothbrush and toothpaste available in the most disparate places, such as schools, offices, restaurants, while traveling, etc. [0004] A first solution for meeting this need is to be equipped with a container, such as a case or small beauty case, which contains a conventional toothbrush and a package of toothpaste. [0005] However, this solution entails drawbacks particularly in practical terms. [0006] The size of the toothbrush and of the package of toothpaste in fact do not allow to carry the corresponding container in small spaces. [0007] If, for example, the user wishes to brush his/her teeth after a meal at the office or restaurant, it would be in fact appreciable to be able to carry the toothbrush and toothpaste discreetly, perhaps in a handbag or in the pockets of clothes. [0008] Further, the use of a toothbrush and toothpaste away from home, for example in toilets which are public and sometimes rather confined, is penalized by the fact that the user must handle several components, removing the cap that closes the toothpaste package, spread said toothpaste on the bristly head of the toothbrush, after removing its protective shell, and avoid dropping these elements, which might be lost (particularly the cap and the shell) and be contaminated for example by falling on the floor. [0009] Moreover, the shell for protecting the head of the toothbrush, which is required in order to ensure its hygiene, entails during production manufacturing costs which are not negligible, since it requires the use of appropriately provided molds. [0010] In order to reduce the overall dimensions of the dental cleaning set, travel kits are also known which are constituted by packages which contain a small number of doses of toothpaste and by toothbrushes in which the handle is provided in two parts which can be mutually connected, one part being hollow and acting as a protective shell for the other part, which ends with a bristly head. [0011] Although these kits are more practical to carry than the traditional toothbrush and package of toothpaste, and therefore are easier to use away from home, they do not allow to obviate all the drawbacks listed above. [0012] In particular, these travel kits also are constituted by a plurality of elements, which must be handled with care during use in order to avoid losing or contaminating them. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [0013] The aim of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks noted above of the background art, by providing a kit for dental cleaning which is practical to use even away from home, so as to facilitate its use, and therefore favor the preservation of correct oral hygiene in users. [0014] Within this aim, an object of the present invention is to provide a kit for dental cleaning that is small and has a compact structure, so that it can be carried easily in limited spaces. [0015] Another object of the present invention is to provide a kit which is simple, relatively easy to provide in practice, safe and effective in use, and has a relatively low cost. [0016] This aim and these objects are achieved by the present kit for dental cleaning, characterized in that it comprises a toothpaste dispenser, provided with at least one opening for dispensing toothpaste and with at least one hollow receptacle arranged proximate to said opening, and at least one toothbrush provided with a handle for supporting a bristly head, the toothbrush being suitable to be arranged so that the head is protected at said receptacle and so that a portion of the handle faces said opening in order to close it.
