A New York inventor has received a patent for a storage container that could help protect toothbrushes from bathroom germs.
The "Tooth Brush Buddy" would be a plastic container featuring eight color-coded compartments, making it ideal for large families, according to InventHelp, an invention submission company that represents the inventor.
The base of the container would include eight corresponding colored buttons, and each member of the family would select which compartment to store their toothbrush in. To use, an individual would press the button, the lid would snap open, and the toothbrush would pop out of the top of the container.
