Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to oral hygiene and, more particularly, to an all in one compact oral care device for travelling.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Oral hygiene is most import part of our life, and cleaning the mouth is essential to keep the human being healthy. Nowadays, person of every age is having cavity in their teeth, and RCT or pulling the teeth out is the only option, therefore everyone needs to clean their teeth properly. However, for day-to-day travelers, people living in remote areas, tracking lovers, students staying in PG’s or hostels, it is very cumbersome to carry all items.
[0004] Oral care devices may include a toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, and tongue cleaner. Each of the oral care device must be packed separately, and the user may forget at least one of the oral care devices. And, each of the oral care device can be misplaced with other items, as these are small in size. Therefore, we need a device which can accommodate all oral care devices in one.
[0005] Currently, portable holding device such as bottle for carrying all these items together are available in market, but when we open the device to pick a single item, other items can be fall down easily, because they are not fitted in the holding device. Therefore, we need a device which can fit all the items in particular place.
[0006] Several patents related to portable toothbrushes which provide an integral paste dispenser are well known described below. One of the most popular travel ready, self-dispensing toothbrush is described in U.S. Patent Application No. 7,244,073 to Trocino Richard which discloses a toothbrush assembly having two main sections a toothbrush head and a toothbrush holder. The toothbrush head comprising a bristle head and a shaft for connecting the bristle head with a threaded end of the toothbrush holder. The toothbrush holder comprising a chamber having a toothpaste tube threaded into the threaded end of the chamber and toothpaste is extracted from the toothpaste tube and delivered to the bristles. However, the toothbrush assembly comprising a toothbrush and a toothpaste together, but space for other oral care articles is not disclosed. Many arrangements of this type has been proposed but none are commercially available as it is believed they have significant disadvantages.
[0007] Moreover, at the time of travelling, tracking and in many remote areas water is not easily available, which is an essential element to clean the mouth. Usually traveler carry a water bottle with them, but most probably water get finished by the morning.
[0008] Therefore, there is a need to overcome above mentioned problems of prior art by bringing a solution that facilitate in accommodating all oral care items in a single device, and also provides space for storing water in same device.
