Abstract:
An oral care kit (100) is provided to allow users with the ability to view a portion of the toothbrush (400) and the dispenser (500), such as a recess located at one end of the toothbrush (400) and an anti-rotation member (560) located at one end of the dispenser (500), without opening the package (300). The oral care kit (100) includes a package (300) comprising first and second cavities(600, 700). Each cavity (600, 700) includes retaining elements (630, 640, 650, 730, 750). Additionally, the second cavity (700) includes a retaining channel (740). The oral care kit (100) also includes a toothbrush (400) comprising a head (430), a handle (410), and a recess located at a proximal end of the handle (410), and a dispenser (500) comprising a housing (520), a rotatable actuator (540)and an anti-rotation member (560) located at a proximal end of the housing (520). When the toothbrush (400) is mounted within the first cavity (600), the recess is visible and when the dispenser (500) is mounted within the second cavity (700), the anti-rotation member (560) is visible.
Abstract:
An oral care implement having a multi-colored interface. In one embodiment, the invention can be an oral care implement comprising: a handle; and a head comprising: a pre-formed cleaning element assembly having a head plate and a plurality of tooth cleaning elements mounted to the head plate, the head plate formed of a material having a first color; a support body having a socket, the support body formed of a material having a second color; a multi-colored interface formed between a perimeter of the socket and a perimeter of the head plate; and the head plate fused to the support body along at least a portion of the multi-colored interface.
Abstract:
An oral care implement such as a toothbrush includes a head and a plurality of Sooth cleaning elements supported by the toothbrush head. The tooth cleaning elements preferably include an elastomeric scrubbing element having a base portion and a tooth engaging portion comprising a plurality of cleansing members circumferentially spaced apart on the base portion. In one embodiment, the base portion has a circumferentially continuous sidewali \o stiffen the scrubbing element. The cleansing members project outwards and preferably upwards from the base portion in one embodiment to collectively define a centra! cavity for retaining dentifrice. Embodiments of the oral care implement may include a circular bristle field arranged circumferential! y around and associated with the scrubbing element.
Abstract:
A package (100) of articles, such as oral care implements (200) comprising: a tubular body (109) having a cavity (115), an open top end (167) and a closed bottom end (126). An annular wall (120) divides the cavity into a central cavity (125) and an annular cavity (115) that circumferentially surrounds the central cavity. A plurality of radial walls (130) extend from an outer surface (121) of the annular wall to an inner surface (112) of the tubular body and divide the annular cavity into a plurality of subcavities (135). At least one oral care implement is disposed within each of the subcavities. A cover (170) is coupled to at least one of the tubular body and the annular wall. The cover comprises a central opening (177) that forms a passageway into the central cavity and a dispensing opening (174).
