The Electronic toothpaste dispenser extracts all of toothpaste with one pass. The tube of tooth paste is installed between the roller and angular plate with nozzle downward. The tooth brush is push forward onto a button at the bottom of the ETPD turning on a motor that slides a spring roller downward by mechanical gear belt or shaft on the toothpaste tube. The angular press plate increases tension on the spring roller and pressure on the plate squeezing entire tooth paste from top to bottom with one pass. Removing toothbrush depresses button to stop motor when desired amount of tooth paste is dispensed and acts as a valve to seal paste outlet.

The electronic toothpaste dispenser double roller mechanism rotates as it descends down the toothpaste. The device is powered by a reversible motor that controls the direction, down for extraction and up for replacing tube. Two optional mechanisms are designed. The motor is attached to a worm gear (FIG. 1,2) by bevel gear and rotates the worm moving the roller system down/up along rack and pinion tracks in the same process spinning the rollers via spur gears squeezing the toothpaste. The other process (FIG. 3,4) uses a torque converted mechanism direct drive to motor that rotates a shaft with spur gears that turns moving along the rack and pinion directing the roller system down/up. This new mechanism can extract any size toothpaste.
1. A method for dispensing toothpaste from its tube
3. An electronic squeezing device, appliance comprising of components to squeeze toothpaste down to valve onto tooth brush. Driving force of motor and squeeze roller.
4. The electronic toothpaste dispenser is automated.
5. The electronic toothpaste dispenser empties toothpaste tube with one pass.
6. The electronic toothpaste dispenser gives quantity of toothpaste in tube by level indicator.
7. This method of toothpaste dispensing is accompanied by design patent toothpaste which extracts 100% of toothpaste.
8. The electronic toothpaste dispenser is easy to replace tooth paste tubes no more than changing ink cartridges or batteries.
