Abstract:
1. A oral hygiene tool for scraping a tongue and brushing teeth, the oral hygiene tool comprising: a tongue scraper comprising: a toothbrush comprising: the elongate connector body of the tongue scraper being telescopingly engaged with the elongate toothbrush body of the toothbrush, so that the tongue scraper can move between a collapsed configuration and an extended configuration relative to the toothbrush; wherein either the elongate connector body or the elongate toothbrush body has an elongate inner chamber shaped to accept, via a chamber aperture, either the elongate connector body or the elongate toothbrush body that does not have the elongate inner chamber; wherein the elongate connector body and the elongate toothbrush body slidingly telescopically engage each other; further comprising a locking mechanism for removably locking the oral hygiene tool in the collapsed configuration or in the extended configuration; at least one resilient arm extending from either the elongate connector body or the elongate toothbrush body; a locking prong extending radially from the resilient arm; a locking aperture extending radially through either the elongate connector body, or the elongate toothbrush body, to the elongate inner chamber; wherein the locking aperture and the locking prong are shaped to removably engage each other, thereby preventing longitudinal motion of the elongate connector body relative to the elongate toothbrush body; and wherein the resilient arm may be pressed away from the locking aperture to disengage the locking mechanism and allow the elongate connector body to slide longitudinally relative to the elongate toothbrush body.
