Toothpaste dispensing device

A toothpaste dispensing device comprising:

• an elongate body defining:
• an upper section for accommodating at least a portion of a toothpaste container longitudinally therein in use;
• and
• a lower section defining a toothbrush entrance therethrough and
• a dispensing mechanism located within the lower section, the dispensing mechanism comprising:
• a pump mechanism engaging a mouth of the toothpaste container;
• and
• a trigger pivotally coupled to act on the pump mechanism, the trigger accessible via the toothbrush entrance such that, in use, when a toothbrush head is inserted into the toothbrush entrance, the toothbrush head deflects the trigger thereby causing the trigger to act on the pump mechanism to dispense toothpaste from the toothpaste container onto the toothbrush head located thereunderneath, wherein:
• the body comprises a cover portion and a rear portion which releasably connect at respective peripheral edges thereof;
• the cover portion defines the toothbrush entrance;
• the cover and rear portions define an elongate interior therebetween when connected;
• the elongate interior is sufficient to completely accommodate the toothpaste container within the peripheral edges therein in use when the cover and rear portions are connected,
• the rear portion defines a rear planar surface at least rearward of the trigger for conforming attachment to a vertical surface in use;
• wherein the cover and rear portions magnetically attract each other wherein respective peripheral edges of the cover and rear portions comprise respective collocating attractive magnetic fasteners causing the cover portion to attach to the rear portion by magnetic attraction, and
• wherein the cover portion defines an edge which can be pulled and wherein the cover portion releases from the rear portion when the edge is pulled;
• wherein the pump mechanism comprises a mouth engagement which engages the mouth and wherein the pump mechanism is engaged by the rear portion such that the pump mechanism and the toothpaste container can be simultaneously inserted to engage the rear portion or removed from the rear portion when the pump mechanism and the toothpaste container are connected;
• wherein the trigger engages the pump mechanism so that the trigger can stay in place when the pump mechanism is inserted or removed;
• and
• wherein the trigger defines side pivots that engage the rear portion and fulcrum engagements that acts reciprocally on a lower face of the pump mechanism and wherein, when the trigger is not activated the fulcrum engagements does not hinder the lower face to interfere with the pump mechanism being removed.
