Patent ID: 8809807

Claim:
A toothbrush sanitation device comprising: a housing having a sidewall defining an external circumference, said housing having an cylindrically curved interior wall defining an interior cavity; a portion of said interior cavity forming a sanitizing chamber having an aperture communicating through a first end wall opposite a second end wall of said sanitizing chamber; said interior wall and said first end wall and said second end wall facing said sanitizing chamber being reflective material; curved circumferential transitions between said interior wall and said first and second end wall; said aperture providing means for insertion of a bristle end of a handle of a toothbrush therethrough, thereby positioning said bristles and a portion of said handle within said sanitizing chamber; and means for communicating UV illumination of said sanitizing chamber providing a direct and reflective communication of UV illumination to said handle and said bristle end, whereby said UV illumination contacting said handle and said bristle substantially eliminate pathogens such as germs and bacteria thereon; a sound frequency generator communicating sonic waves into said sanitizing chamber at a frequency configured for abating said pathogens; and said sonic waves reflecting about said sanitizing chamber and impacting said handle and said bristle end positioned therein along sonic vectors similar to said UV illumination, whereby said pathogens are removed with both said UV illumination and said sonic waves.
