Patent attributes
A stand-up toothbrush having an elongated handle with a head at one end, the head carrying bristles, and a hand holding portion at the other end, the hand holding portion long enough to be fully grasped by the hand of the user. A stand is provided on the hand holding portion of the handle at the other end, the stand extending past the other end of the handle and terminating in a support end. The support end extends transverse to the handle and is large enough to stably support the toothbrush in an upright storage position. The handle is made from relatively rigid material, and the stand is made from resilient, flexible material of the type allowing the stand to be moved against the hand holding portion of the handle when the user grasps the stand and the hand holding portion so as to interfere minimally with holding the toothbrush during use, and to return to its original position when the brush is released.
