CHICAGO April 19, 2012 ICAP Patent Brokerage

Mini, disposable brush unit (no neck portion) that dispenses toothpaste to the top of bristles
Permanent driver-pump head with self-sealing spout. This feature prevents the paste from drying (no capping required)
Refillable toothpaste cartridge – refills in less than 10 seconds, and is refillable at any stage
Failure-proof pumping: toothpaste can always be pumped out
Minimal use of battery power as oscillations occur only on the bristle elements without wasting energy on vibrating the drive-shaft support structure
Toothpaste pumping does not use battery power
Brush unit has pushbuttons for snap-on mounting and detaching
Compact handle with toothpaste cartridge and two AAA batteries – circumferential size is comparable to regular electrical toothbrushes
Driver-pump head configuration applicable to all modes of bristle oscillations currently used
Same self-sealing spout, pumping mechanism, and pushbutton mounting features applicable to a manual pump toothbrush
Working prototypes for both electrical and manual toothbrush models are available for demo and focus group study
