Abstract

An apparatus for an electric toothbrush cover includes a lower portion having a cavity configured to enclose a back of a head of the electric toothbrush and at least a portion of a back of a neck of the electric toothbrush. An upper portion has a cavity configured for enclosing a front of the head and bristles of the electric toothbrush, and at least a portion of a front of the neck of the electric toothbrush. A hinge joins the lower portion to the upper portion for allowing the lower portion and the upper portion to open and close about the electric toothbrush. A means retains the lower portion and the upper portion in a closed position about the electric toothbrush where the joined lower portion and upper portion enclose the head and bristles of the electric toothbrush and at least a portion of the neck of the electric toothbrush.

         7 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , further comprising means for joining said lower means and said upper means for allowing said lower means and said upper means to be opened and closed about the electric toothbrush. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 6 , further comprising means for retaining said lower means and said upper means in a closed position about the electric toothbrush. 
     
     
         9 . An apparatus for an electric toothbrush cover, the apparatus comprising:
 a lower portion having a cavity configured to enclose a back of a head of the electric toothbrush and at least a portion of a back of a neck of the electric toothbrush;   an upper portion, joinable to said lower portion, having a cavity configured with a first portion having a first depth for enclosing a front of the head and bristles of the electric toothbrush, and a second portion having a second depth less than said first depth for enclosing at least a portion of a front of the neck of the electric toothbrush;   a hinge joining a top end portion of said lower portion and a top end portion of said upper portion for allowing said lower portion and said upper portion to rotate about said hinge to open and close about the electric toothbrush; and   means for retaining said lower portion and said upper portion in a closed position about the electric toothbrush where the joined lower portion and upper portion enclose the head and bristles of the electric toothbrush and at least a portion of the neck of the electric toothbrush and said lower portion and said upper portion are secured over the electric toothbrush.   
     
     
         10 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 9 , wherein said retaining means functions to snap said lower portion and said upper portion closed.
