Toothbrush with bristle pick

Abstract

An improved toothbrush comprising a thin bristled pick rotatably mounted at the bottom end of the toothbrush handle. A rotating device allows the bristle pick to be extended roughly 85 degrees from the handle shaft so that the user may insert the pick between the teeth with ease for cleaning purposes. When not in use, the pick may be stored within the shaft of the toothbrush by rotating it inward and into a small rectangular cavity in the shaft. The added bristled pick feature allows users to attain enhanced tooth cleaning benefits from one device instead of a plurality of cleaning utensils.

         1 . Toothbrush comprising a thin bristle pick rotatably mounted to the end of the bottom of the toothbrush shaft, and 
 A rotating device located at the bottom of the shaft base comprising a hinge pick and a rotating outer element, and    A means for the rotating device to allow an angle of 85 degrees between the fully extended bristle pick and the toothbrush shaft.    
     
     
         2 . Toothbrush having a thin bristle pick according to  claim 1  wherein the shaft of the toothbrush handle has a rectangular cavity for storing the bristle pick when not in use.  
     
     
         3 . Toothbrush having a thin bristle pick according to  claim 1  wherein the bristle is substantially thin in order to fit between the average person's teeth.
