Toothpaste dispensing apparatus

A toothpaste dispensing assembly comprising:

• a base having a top side, a bottom side and a peripheral edge, said top side having a rectangular shape such that said peripheral edge includes four side edges, a first of said side edge having a plurality of wells extending therein, each of said wells being adapted for selectively receiving a toothbrush handle;
• a housing being attached to and extending upwardly from said base, said housing including a peripheral wall having an upper edge, said upper edge defining an opening extending into said housing, said peripheral wall including a first wall, a second wall, a third wall and a fourth wall;
• a toothpaste tube squeezing assembly being mounted within said housing and being adapted for selectively ejecting toothpaste out of a tube of toothpaste, said squeezing assembly including;
• a sleeve being fixedly mounted within said housing, said sleeve having an open upper end;
• a pair of cylinders being mounted in sleeve and being selectively movable vertically in said sleeve, said cylinders being horizontally co-planar with each other and having rotational axis orientated parallel to each other, wherein the tube of toothpaste may be removably positioned within said sleeve and between said cylinders such that toothpaste within the tube is extracted as said cylinders are selectively moved upwardly within said sleeve;
• an actuator extending through said peripheral wall of said housing and being coupled to said cylinders, said actuator being adapted for selectively moving said cylinders upwardly or downwardly within said sleeve, said actuator including an elongated member having a first end extending outwardly away from said housing and a second end attached to said cylinders, a central portion of said elongated member being pivotally coupled to said housing;
• a cover being positioned on said upper edge of said housing for selectively closing said opening in said housing, a flange being integrally attached to and extending outwardly away from said cover, said cover having a dispensing conduit therein, said dispending conduit including a receiving opening extending upwardly into said cover and being generally aligned with said sleeve, said dispensing conduit including an ejecting opening extending downwardly from said flange, wherein the tube may be fluidly coupled to said receiving opening when said cover is placed in a closed position such that toothpaste flows into said receiving opening and outwardly through said ejecting opening when said cylinders are moved upwardly,
• a latching assembly being mounted on said cover and being adapted for selectively locking said cover in said closed position;
• and
• a mounting bracket being attached to said housing, said mounting bracket being positioned generally opposite with respect to said actuator.
