Abstract
A toothbrush includes an elongated shank suitable for mounting onto a toothpaste container at a first end thereof and having a brush head at a second end. A plurality of bristles are carried by the brush head and extend outwardly from an upper surface thereof. A longitudinal passageway extends from the first end of the shank, through the shank, and exits in an opening within the bristles of the brush head. A slide mechanism is mounted in an elongated channel in the upper surface of the shank and is in slidable engagement therewith. The slide extends along the shank and into the brush head and has a first end disposed within the bristles which is formed in a plug complementary with the opening. The slide can be moved from a first position in which the plug completely covers the opening to a second position in which the opening is uncovered.
