Abstract
A multi-chambered tooth care dispensing device and more particularly, to a device that dispenses toothpaste, mouthwash and dental floss all from one convenient package. The toothpaste and the mouthwash are stored in side by side chambers and the dental floss is stored in the lower portion of the dispensing package and is led through a top opening that is provided with a floss cutting knife to allow the user to cut the floss to the desired length. The toothpaste and the mouthwash is delivered by hand action of a three way finger switch connected to a one-way set of gears and screw auger each connected to a piston. This forces the contents of each chamber up and out of the delivery outlet. The three-way hand/finger operated switch may be set to toothpaste in one direction and to mouthwash in the other direction with an off position in between. The device is provided with a meter in the lower end to indicate the amount of floss remaining and the body of the device has two windows that displays the percentage of toothpaste and the ounces of mouthwash remaining that allows the user to see the amount of toothpaste and mouthwash that is remaining. A storage area is provided in the device for toothbrush storage. The exit port for the toothpaste, is a stylized pentagon in shape which forms the same shape of the toothpaste. This shape makes the toothpaste considerably more stable on the brush.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
