Oral care systems
Abstract
An oral care system includes a body portion and an attachment. The body portion includes a body, a body opening, and a funnel. The body extends from a first body end to a second body end. The body opening is proximate the first body end. The body opening extends into the body portion to define an inner cavity. The funnel is proximate the first body end such that the funnel is in fluid communication with the body opening. The attachment extends from a first attachment end to a second attachment end, the attachment being selectively coupled to the body portion. The attachment includes a neck, a brush, and a connector. The neck extends between the first attachment end and the second attachment end. The brush is coupled to the neck proximate the second attachment end. The connector is proximate the first attachment end.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . An oral care system comprising:
a body portion comprising:
a body extending from a first body end to a second body end,
a body opening proximate the first body end, the body opening extending into the body portion to define an inner cavity, and
a funnel proximate the first body end such that the funnel is in fluid communication with the body opening; and
an attachment extending from a first attachment end to a second attachment end, the attachment being selectively coupled to the body portion, the attachment comprising:
a neck extending between the first attachment end and the second attachment end,
a brush coupled to the neck proximate the second attachment end, and
a connector proximate the first attachment end, the connector configured to secure the attachment to the to the first body end in a first orientation, where the neck extends into the inner cavity such that the brush is positioned inside the inner cavity, and a second orientation, where the neck extends away from the first body end such that the brush is positioned outside of the inner cavity.
2 . The oral care system of claim 1 , further comprising an oral solution positioned within the inner cavity.
3 . The oral care system of claim 2 , further comprising a seal member positioned within the inner cavity and configured to facilitate release of the oral solution from the inner cavity upon piercing of the seal member.
4 . The oral care system of claim 1 , further comprising a membrane coupled to the attachment proximate the second attachment end, the membrane configured to facilitate release of an oral solution upon piercing of the membrane.
5 . The oral care system of claim 1 , wherein the attachment further comprises:
a suction opening disposed proximate the second attachment end and configured to be positioned within the inner cavity when the attachment is in the first orientation; and a suction port in fluid communication with the suction opening, the suction port located between the first attachment end and the second attachment end and configured to be positioned within the inner cavity when the attachment is in the first orientation.
6 . The oral care system of claim 1 , wherein the attachment is selectively coupled to the body portion via at least one of a thread, a snapping feature, or a gasket.
7 . The oral care system of claim 1 , wherein the body portion is at least partially formed of a thermoplastic.
8 . The oral care system of claim 1 , wherein the body defines a plurality of ribs, each of the ribs extending within the inner cavity.
9 . The oral care system of claim 1 , wherein the attachment further comprises a hinge, the hinge configured to facilitate rotation of the neck around the hinge between a first position and a second position, the inner cavity being sealed in the first position and the inner cavity being unsealed in the second position.
10 . An oral care system comprising:
a body portion comprising:
a body extending from a first body end to a second body end,
a body opening proximate the first body end, the body opening extending into the body to define an inner cavity, and
a funnel coupled to the body proximate the first body end;
a cap removably coupled to the body proximate the body opening, the cap being configured to seal the inner cavity; a neck coupled to the body proximate the second body end; and a brush head coupled to the neck opposite the second body end.
11 . The oral care system of claim 10 , wherein a funnel opening of the funnel is in fluid communication with the body opening.
12 . The oral care system of claim 11 , wherein the funnel and body are configured to couple to a cup such that the funnel opening is in fluid communication with the body and the body is in fluid communication with an inner cup volume defined by the cup.
13 . A system comprising:
a cup defining an inner cup volume; and the oral care system of claim 11 ; wherein the funnel and body are coupled to the cup such that the funnel opening is in fluid communication with the body and the body is in fluid communication with the inner cup volume.
14 . An oral care system comprising:
a bite block defining an opening, the bite block comprising a first side and a second side; a plurality of bristles, each of the bristles coupled to and extending from at least one of the first side or the second side; and
a handle coupled to the bite block via the opening.
15 . The oral care system of claim 14 , further comprising:
a container holding an oral care solution; and
a lid coupled to the container, the lid defining an aperture for receiving the bite block such that the bite block may be inserted into the container.
16 . The oral care system of claim 14 , wherein the bite block further comprises a plurality of apertures on the first side and the second side.
17 . The oral care system of claim 16 , wherein each of the apertures is placed between at least two of the bristles.
18 . The oral care system of claim 14 , wherein the bite block and bristles are integrally formed from a plastic material.
19 . The oral care system of claim 14 , wherein the container holding the oral care solution further comprises a barrier to seal the oral care solution in the container.
20 . The oral care system of claim 14 , wherein the bite block further comprises a third side that connects the first side and the second side, the third side comprising a plurality of ridges.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
