Toothpaste Dispenser

thingiverse

This design is about a tooth dispenser designed to be operated with a single hand. It is important to note that this particular design is just a prototype and the model requires some additional parts as well as adjustments. It was designed with the purpose of assisting a person with coordination issues. The operation of the prototype is as follows: 1- The toothpaste is placed inside the mechanism, and the toothbrush is positioned just below, resting on the holder. 2- The handle is turned by hand, causing the gears to engage with the threads of the mechanism, causing the pressers to descend. 3- The pressers exert force on the tube, causing the toothpaste to be dispensed onto the toothbrush. Additionally, if you want to insert or remove the toothpaste tube, you simply need to raise the gears to the upper stop. Once the corner of the tube is positioned, you can lower the pressers by rotating them in the opposite direction, ensuring a secure grip on the tube for dispensing.
