Veterinary toothbrush having dual heads

Abstract

The present invention presents a veterinary toothbrush having dual heads. The presented solution provides a cost-saving measure for connecting or attaching two conventionally known standard toothbrushes to form a dual-headed toothbrush. The present invention focuses on various mechanisms such as pinning, welding, or dipping of two conventionally known standard toothbrushes to permanently form a single toothbrush with a dual head with bristles. According to an aspect, the two existing toothbrushes may be plastic dipped to form a single dual-head brush. According to another aspect, the two existing toothbrushes may be welded together to form a single dual head brush. In another mechanism, the two existing toothbrushes may be joined or pinned together to form a single dual head brush.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A double head toothbrush, comprising:
 a first toothbrush and a second toothbrush, each of the first toothbrush and the second toothbrush comprises a head portion having bristles, and a tail portion;   a first connector having a first slot located at a first end and a first screw thread located at an opposing end to the first end, wherein the tail portion of the first toothbrush is connected to the first slot of the first connector;   a second connector having a second slot at a second end and a second screw thread located at an opposing end to the second end, the tail portion of the second toothbrush is connected to the second slot of the second connector;   a handle with a hollow portion; and   wherein, the first screw thread and the second screw thread are joined together and combinedly inserted and rotated into the hollow portion of the handle to attach the first connector and second connectors thereto.   
     
     
         2 . The double head toothbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the first toothbrush and the second toothbrush are standard conventional toothbrushes. 
     
     
         3 . The double head toothbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the first screw thread and the second screw thread are semi-circular in shape. 
     
     
         4 . The double head toothbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the first screw thread and the second screw thread when joined together form a circular shape. 
     
     
         5 . The double head toothbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the tail portion of the first toothbrush and the tail portion of the second toothbrush are removably or fixedly connectable to the first slot of the first connector, and the second slot of the second connector respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The double head toothbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the first screw thread and the second screw thread are joined together ensuring the head portion of the first toothbrush and the head portion of the second toothbrush are aligned at an opposing angle. 
     
     
         7 . The double head toothbrush of  claim 6 , wherein the head portion of the first toothbrush and the head portion of the second toothbrush are aligned at the opposing angle creating a space between a first neck of the first toothbrush and a second neck of the second toothbrush. 
     
     
         8 . The double head toothbrush of  claim 7 , wherein the space between the first neck of the first toothbrush and the second neck of the second toothbrush prevents an animal from biting onto the first neck and the second neck of the toothbrush during the brushing process. 
     
     
         9 . The double head toothbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the handle is made up of plastic or silicone. 
     
     
         10 . The double head toothbrush of  claim 6 , wherein the head portion of the first toothbrush and the head portion of the second toothbrush are aligned at the opposing angle such that the bristle surfaces of each of the head portions of the first toothbrush and the second toothbrush are substantially facing one another. 
     
     
         11 . A double head toothbrush, comprising:
 a first toothbrush and a second toothbrush, each of the first toothbrush and the second toothbrush comprises a head portion having bristles, and a tail portion;   a handle;   a first connector having a first slot at a first end and connected to the handle at an opposing end to the first end, wherein the tail portion of the first toothbrush is connected to the first slot of the first connector;   a second connector having a second slot at a second end and connected to the handle at an opposing end to the second end, the tail portion of the second toothbrush is connected to the second slot of the second connector; and   wherein, the tail portion of the first toothbrush and the tail portion of the second toothbrush connected to the first connector and the second connector ensure the head portion with bristles of the first toothbrush and the head portion with bristles of the second toothbrush are aligned at the opposing angle creating a space between a first neck of the first toothbrush and a second neck of the second toothbrush.   
     
     
         12 . A double head toothbrush, comprising:
 a first toothbrush and a second toothbrush, each of the first toothbrush and the second toothbrush comprises a head portion having bristle, and a tail portion;   wherein, the tail portion of the first toothbrush and the tail portion of the second toothbrush are joined or pinned together forming a handle graspable by a user;   wherein the tail portion of the first toothbrush and the tail portion of the second toothbrush are joined or pinned together using at least a plastic dip method, and a heat-shrink method; and   wherein, the tail portion of the first toothbrush and the tail portion of the second toothbrush joined together ensuring the head portion with bristle of the first toothbrush and the head portion with bristles of the second toothbrush are aligned at an opposing angle creating a space between a first neck of the first toothbrush and a second neck of the second toothbrush.
