  • the compact toothbrush of the instant invention includes a handle defining body from one end of which a centrally disposed and diametrically reduced support shank extends including a free end.
  • the free end of the support shank includes a toothbrush head and a hollow cap is pro ⁇ vided for telescoping over the toothbrush head and the shank and releasable support from the associated hand grip defining body end.
  • the opposite end of the hand grip defining body defines an endwise outwardly opening recess or cavity in which fluent mouthwash or mouth deo ⁇ dorant material may be contained and a closure cap is provided for removably closing the outer end of the cavity.
  • the closure cap includes a plunger actuated pump which may be operated from the exterior of the body and is provided with an exterior discharge neck.
  • the toothbrush shank is permanently mounted to the body, in a second form the toothbrush shank is formed integrally with the associated end of the body and in a third form of the toothbrush, the toothbrush shank is removably supported from the asso ⁇ ciated hand grip defining body. Finally, in a fourth form of the toothbrush, the toothbrush shank supporting end of the body is open and closed by a plug secured within the body and with which the toothbrush shank is integrally formed.
  • the main object of this invention is to provide a compact toothbrush which may be readily carried by persons who travel.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a convenient compact toothbrush including a cover for the toothbrush head portion thereof.
