Abstract

A novel toothbrush with a permanent handle. The apparatus provides for a permanent handle with a disposable toothbrush head. This permits use of an ornamental or exotic toothbrush handle, while avoiding the problem of the bristles in the brush head wearing out. The handle of the toothbrush secures the bristle head section with the use of a spring loaded plunger located in the handle. The spring mechanism is fully extended while the disposable brush is absent from the handle. When the disposable brush is introduced to the handle, the end of the brush will push against the plunger forcing the spring to retract. When the indent on the end of the brush is directly over the plunger the spring will extend the plunger into the indent and secure the brush within the handle. When it is time for the bristle head section to be replaced, the bristle head section is pulled from the permanent handle and the force of the non indented portion of the brush handle against the plunger, forces the spring mechanism to retract, thus allowing removal of the brush.
