Abstract
An apparatus for personal hygiene, in particular for oral hygiene which includes a reservoir removably fitted on a casing for containing a liquid supply, and, furthermore, structure is provided for receiving a dispenser of a hygienic, cosmetic or therapeutic product, in particular a dentifrice solution, for addition to the liquid in the reservoir. For facilitating bucco-dental hygiene, the apparatus also includes a hydraulic pump within the casing connected by a flexible tubing to a handpiece having any particular type of spray head. The reservoir is adapted to supply liquid to the pump and, at the same time, is designed to receive the dentifrice solution from the dispenser. The dispenser structure can be independently formed and mounted on the apparatus casing or can be incorporated into the reservoir structure. The apparatus is also designed to serve as a cleaning device for dentures, and in this connection, the dispenser would contain a cleaning fluid for dispensing into the reservoir. An appropriate agitator can be employed as part of the structure when it is used for cleaning dentures.
