DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0008] The present invention relates to an oral irrigator in the form of a portable travel kit. The oral irrigator according to the present invention provides a travel enclosure for the oral irrigator, therefore giving a user convenient to travel with and protect the oral irrigator.

[0009] In reference to FIG. 1, an oral irrigator kit 100 is shown, where a case includes a top lid 40 and base 42 to enclose an oral irrigator 35. The oral irrigator 35 includes a power button 37 with an irrigator pick 20 adapted to extend from one end of the irrigator 35. This tube 20 extends from a connector 39 and may be placed within the case provided. The case includes an inner cavity 45 to allow space for insertion of the irrigator 35. The irrigator 35 sits within a cradle that is provided within the base 42. This kit 100 provides a unique travel kit for use of an oral irrigator that closes and seals the oral irrigator for travel purposes. A tube 30 extends from the oral irrigator 35 that enables connection to a water source. This oral irrigator 35 therefore gives the user a portable utensil for oral hygiene while traveling. The oral irrigator 35 includes a connector 50 used to connect the irrigator 35 to a water source. The connection to a water bottle 60 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. As shown, tube 30 travels through connector 50 for insertion into bottle 60. The tube 30 extends into the water bottle 60 and enables the supply of water into the irrigator 35. The connector 50 secures to the water bottle 60 as shown in FIG. 3. The irrigator pick 20 connects to the connector 39 through a quick release connection as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. Once connected the irrigator 35 and bottle 60 are used together by the user. A user may use water from the water bottle 60 as shown to effectively use the irrigator 35 while traveling or at work.

[0010] The instant invention has been shown and described in what it considers to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made there from within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
