Abstract

A small personal-hygiene device for collecting food particles and liquid spills — milk, food remnants, seed shells — from the mouth after eating. Designed as a domestic and clinical-care product, with applications in both general hygiene and assisted-living contexts where conventional post-meal cleaning is impractical or insufficient.

The device occupies a small market gap between disposable wipes and dental-hygiene equipment, offering a reusable single-use-cartridge approach designed for cost-conscious manufacture in regional supply chains. Sole inventor.

Claim Summary
  • A handheld personal-care device for the collection of solid and liquid post-meal residues from the oral cavity.
  • A modular collection chamber designed for single-use replacement, allowing rapid changeover without device disassembly.
  • An ergonomic form factor configured for use by both able-bodied and assisted users.
  • A material specification compatible with regional manufacture and cleaning protocols.
