  • the present invention is directed to a toothbrush or other toiletry article that provides a unique combination of utility and aesthetics.
  • Existing methods of applying applications on such article handles includes the use of decals, ink imprinting, laser imprinting, and labels applications.
  • Concerning toothbrushes since toothpaste is an aggressive and abrasive substance, it is common that after using the toothbrush several times, the applications come off partially or entirely. It is desirable to provide applications, such as images and or text/logos, that will durably remain on the toothbrush despite heavy use around abrasive substances.
  • a flosser, hair comb or brush is not normally surrounded by or used in conjunction with such abrasive substances, repeated use and contact by oily skin can produce a similar wearing of any applications that may be provided
  • a toothbrush comprising: a head portion comprising extruded and end-rounded bristles; a handle part comprising a thermoplastic material and further comprising an image pocket; an image insert comprising text or an image on one or both sides that is located within the image pocket; a pocket insert placed inside of the image pocket on top of the image insert; and a soft rubber- like material molded to the handle.
  • Various embodiments of the invention include those having an interchangeable insert of different colors with different messages molded on the top of the insert. Space between the letters of the insert and pockets on the surface of the toothbrushes may filled with a soft rubber-like material for a comfortable grip users of these products. Toothbrushes or other toiletry articles of this design can deliver many messages to the users, improve mood in the morning with images such as cats, dogs or pictures of favorite places such as parks, buildings, mountings, rivers, sports and games and so on and decorate the bathroom with high quality colorful products. They can also be used for advertisement purposes.

  • the length of at least some of the protrusions is greater than a distance separating center points of the protrusions. In another embodiment, the length of the protrusions on a top side of the toiletry article differ from a length of the protrusions on a bottom side of the toiletry article.

This configuration prevents a disturbance of the flat picture insert 6 in the case where the rubber-like material is directly molded without the plastic insert installed.
  • An identified position 31 indicates the location of the gate 32 for the rubber-like material.
  • a pocket for the bridge 33 connects the pocket 35 for the rubber-like material.
  • the rubber-like material is designed so that it is held firmly in place on the handle 3, with the use of through-channels, inversely tapered holes, shrinkage, or the like.
  • Fig. 5 is a longitudinal cross-section view of the clear handle 3.
  • the pocket 36 is connected through the bridge 33 with the pocket 35.
  • a gap (34, Fig. 4) may be placed on the bottom of pocket 35 which connects upper and lower pockets in the handle 3 for the rubber-like material with ribbed areas (8, 9, Fig. 1 ) and keeps the ribbed areas 8, 9 connected together and affixed to the handle.
  • Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the longitudinal section of the toothbrush 1 having a convex shape 38 of the handle 3. Such a convex shape 38 creates a magnifying effect on the picture 6 disposed therein.
  • Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the longitudinal section of the toothbrush 1 having a flat shape 39 of the handle 3. In this configuration, the distortion/lensing effect is minimized, thereby presenting an accurate sized view of the picture 6 disposed therein.

  • a first image 45 present on one side of the insert 40 is clearly seen through the clear material 41 molded into the handle 3. Clear material fills rest of the pocket in the handle 3 through bridge 43.
  • Fig. 13 is bottom view of the same handle with a second image 46 seen through the clear handle 3.
  • the pocket 30 in the clear handle 3 (Fig. 4) is not symmetrical. This design eliminates a possible mistake in placement of the insert with picture 46 into the pocket of clear handle 3.
  • the non-symmetry may lie about an axis defining the length of the brush, its width, or its height — this non-symmetry can be used for visual aesthetic purposes as well as to assist in the assembly of the device.
