Claims:

1. What I claim as my invention is that I have invented a new and useful product from an already existing product. This new and improved product is a miniature disposable toothbrush. Since this new design and its new application of being a sanitized wrapped toothbrush makes it different then its previous form and applications, I therefore submit that this new brush warrants it's own patent for it's design and usefulness.

Description:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] My new product is a miniature disposable toothbrush. This little brush will be used as a throw away brush that can be used in the restaurant business and dental and orthodontic industry. Information known to me includes facts that I have a brush that is different than any other toothbrush on the market. There are no sanitized miniature disposable toothbrushes of this type or size. A complete and thorough search attests to these facts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0002] My invention is a miniature disposable toothbrush. This brush is made by injection molding into a mold that has the shape of a handle that is 76 mm long and 4 mm wide. After the handle comes out of the mold, 5 tufts of bristles, which are 8 mm in length and made of thick heavy nylon is then injected into one end of the handle to form a little toothbrush. This brush then goes through a process of cobalt radiation sanitization and then is wrapped.

[0003] The old style of brush that I took my design idea from is a brush that is 62 mm long and 4 mm wide. This brush also has 7 tufts of bristles that is made of a soft nylon composition. This old style brush has only been used in the cosmetic industry and as a cleaning brush for other applications. This old style brush has never been altered and sanitized wrapped to be used as a miniature disposable toothbrush.
