A combined toothpaste tube and additional item (e.g., a medicine package) holder includes a body having a base and first and second walls extending upwards, in parallel, from the base forming a slot in communication with a channel. Top edges of the walls flare outwards away from each other to form resilient, convex tube compression members that face each other within the slot. A key having a handle and a shaft is provided within the channel to wind a bottom end of a collapsible tube of toothpaste disposed between the compression members within the slot. As the handle of the key is rotated, the bottom end of the tube is wound onto the shaft allowing the compression members to engage the outer surface of the tube to dispense toothpaste from the top opening of the tube. At least one spring clip is attached to the base of the holder for retaining and displaying an item, such as a medicine package.

A method for controlling a paste squeeze device includes: identifying identity information of a user approaching the paste squeeze device; acquiring target usage information corresponding to the identity information, the target usage information including a target paste type and a target usage amount; and controlling the paste squeeze controller on the storage part storing a paste of the target paste type to squeeze out a paste of the target usage amount. The paste squeeze controller on the corresponding storage part can be controlled to squeeze out the paste of a target usage amount based on the identity information of different users, thereby providing accurate amount of paste specific to the individual user.

A loose hair collection device that attaches to the shower wall for collecting lost hair while a person with long hair takes a shower. The device includes a pair of bristle pads that can be selectively disposed in a side-by-side (vertical) position, in an shelf (L) position, or in a face-to-face (U) position. A flex connector restrains the bristle pads in these positions without additional support. The face-to-face position facilitates collection of loose hair, the shelf positions provides a soap holder, while the side-by-side position facilitates cleaning of the collected loose hair from the device. The device may also include a water-tight pouch for holding a mobile device, or a speaker (and display screen if desired) and Bluetooth capability for wirelessly connecting to a mobile device locate outside the shower.

Automatic toothpaste dispensing device for due tooth care comprises device holder, which can be divided into a control box, and a toothpaste rack. There are installed a camera, display and a control panel respectively in central, upper and lower part of the said control box. Said toothpaste rack with several toothpaste drums fixed thereon is located to the right side of the control box. Said toothpaste drums include housings, and in the middle of the inner wall of the housings are mounted fixing brackets. On the fixing brackets are installed toothpaste extrusion pumps, above them are toothpaste entrances, and below them toothpaste exits. Below the fixing brackets are installed toothbrush hangers, and on the bottom of inner cavity of the toothbrush hangers squeezing buttons are fixed. The present invention analyzes the teeth images, estimates teeth conditions, and subsequently obtains an appropriate tooth care plan with the processor.

The present invention relates to a dental hygiene storage device that dispenses a salt and water mouthwash on demand by use of a sensor or control buttons. Salt water rinses are one of the best routines we can practice reducing the effects of, and even preventing oral diseases. Sodium chloride is an antibacterial agent which inhibits the growth and multiplication of bacteria. In addition to bacteria, more recent research demonstrates that inflammation may be responsible for a multitude of periodontal diseases to which salt water rinses also remove inflammation from the gum tissues. The invention consists of a compact base having an upstanding body, wherein the base is configured to rest on a horizontal support surface, such as a sink or countertop. The base may also include features used to mount the backside of the base to a vertical support surface, such as a wall. In addition to storage areas for dental hygiene products, the base will include reservoirs, or reservoir assemblies therein. The reservoirs contain liquid and aggregates, primarily salt and water, but also suitable for other liquids such as mouthwash, and other particulates such as microbeads. The invention can have various ways of dispensing the salt and water from the reservoirs and by no means should the dispensing methods described and illustrated herein be considered limiting. The preferred embodiment defined herein dispenses the salt and water mouthwash into a cup which can rest on a stand integral to the base or held below the dispensers. The cup stand on the base may be adjustable to accommodate cups of various sizes, as well be removable.
