Oral care implement

An oral care implement sanitization system comprising:

• an oral care implement comprising:
• a body having a handle portion and a head portion, a plurality of tooth cleaning elements extending from the head portion;
• a light source located in the body and configured to sanitize the plurality of tooth cleaning elements;
• and
• a first electrical coupling element operably coupled to the light source;
• and
• wherein the oral care implement is devoid of any power source;
• a case for storing the oral care implement and powering the light source to sanitize the plurality of tooth cleaning elements, the case comprising:
• a housing comprising a cavity for holding at least a portion of the oral care implement;
• one or more batteries located within the housing;
• and
• a second electrical coupling element operably coupled to the one or more batteries;
• wherein when the oral care implement is positioned within the cavity of the housing of the case, the first electrical coupling element of the oral care implement is operably coupled to the second electrical coupling element of the case such that power can be supplied from the one or more batteries of the case to the light source of the oral care implement.

An oral care implement sanitization system comprising:

• an oral care implement comprising:
• a handle and a head having a plurality of tooth cleaning elements extending therefrom;
• a light source configured to sanitize the plurality of tooth cleaning elements;
• and
• a first electrical contact element and a second electrical contact element located on the handle and operably coupled to the light source;
• a case for storing the oral care implement and powering the light source to sanitize the plurality of tooth cleaning elements, the case comprising:
• a housing comprising a cavity for holding at least the handle of the oral care implement;
• one or more batteries located within the housing;
• a first electrical contact element and a second electrical contact element located along the cavity of the housing, the first electrical contact element of the case being operably coupled to the one or more batteries;
• a third electrical contact element and a fourth electrical contact element located along a distal end of the housing, the third electrical contact element operably coupled to the one or more batteries and the fourth electrical contact element operably coupled to the second electrical contact element of the case;
• and
• a cover detachably coupled to the housing, the cover comprising a metal ring;
• wherein when the handle of the oral care implement is positioned within the cavity of the case, the first and second electrical contact elements of the oral care implement are in engagement with the first and second electrical contact elements of the case;
• and
• wherein when the cover is coupled to the housing, the metal ring of the cover is in engagement with the third and fourth electrical contact elements of the housing.
