A toothbrush assembly, consisting of:
- a top part including an elongate body and a toothbrush bristle head;
- and
- a bottom part releasably connected to the top part, the bottom part including:
- a one-piece elongate hollow body having an open upper end and a closed lower end, the closed lower end being free of any openings, the body defining an interior space, the body having a front half sidewall and a rear half sidewall,
- a partition that includes a vertically extending wall extending laterally from a side portion to an adjacent side portion of the hollow body and extending from the closed lower end of the bottom part of upwardly toward the open upper end, the partition disposed in the hollow body and dividing the interior space into a tube-receiving front compartment space and a fluid-receiving rear compartment space,
- an opening in the open upper end formed in the front half sidewall and communicating with the front compartment space,
- a lid removably located on the bottom part body at the upper end thereof, the lid including a front section having a nipple-receiving aperture disposed in communication with the front compartment space, the lid including a rear section having a nipple projection disposed in fluid communication with the rear compartment space, and
- a bottom front grip feature carried by the bottom part body and disposed over the opening formed in the front half sidewall, and
- a toothpaste tube positioned within the tube-receiving front compartment of the bottom part of the toothbrush article, the toothbrush tube including a dispensing nipple freely extending through the nipple-receiving aperture of the lid and in uncoupled relation to the top part,
- wherein the bottom front grip feature is configured to define an intimate spaced-apart relationship with the toothpaste tube in the tube-receiving wherein the top part includes first mating structure and the bottom part includes second mating structure, the first mating structure consisting of one of a rib or a recess, the second mating structure consisting of the other of the rib or the recess, the rib and the recess configured to form a snap fit between the top part and the bottom part of the container to releasably secure the first part to the second part front compartment space such that depression of the bottom front grip feature causes direct contact with the toothpaste tube to at least partially compress the toothbrush tube to displace toothpaste and cause dispensing of the toothpaste onto the toothbrush bristle head of the toothbrush implement via the nipple of the toothpaste tube when the toothbrush implement is released from the container, and
- wherein the top part includes first mating structure and the bottom part includes second mating structure, the first mating structure consisting of one of a rib or a recess, the second mating structure consisting of the other of the rib or the recess, the rib and the recess configured to form a snap fit between the top part and the bottom part of the container to releasably secure the first part to the second part.
