MUMBAI, India, Sept. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641100075 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences on August 19, 2026, for Tripod Brush.
Inventors include Krrish; Dr. Lakkoji Keerthi Sasanka; and Deepak Nallaswamy Veeraiyan.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: A collapsible tripod-based electric oral hygiene instrument designated TriPod Brush is disclosed herein. The device comprises a handle assembly housing three foldable support legs which, in a retracted state, lie flush against the handle to form a standard cylindrical grip, and which, when extended, radiate outward to form a freestanding tripod base. Each leg terminates in a rubberized foot providing slip resistance on wet bathroom surfaces. The handle accepts an interchangeable brush head secured by a snap-fit coupling, permitting replacement of worn bristle heads without discarding the handle. A push-button switch, positioned on the bristle-facing side of the handle within reach of the user's thumb during normal grip, jointly activates a vibration motor module that imparts oscillatory motion to the brush head and a built-in two-minute timer circuit, both powered by a rechargeable battery housed within the handle. The rechargeable battery is charged through a charging port located at the base of the handle, positioned beneath the three support legs such that the port remains concealed and shielded from moisture when the legs are folded into their retracted configuration. Upon expiry of the two-minute interval, the timer circuit deactivates the vibration motor and triggers a small audible signaling element to emit a brief beep, indicating completion of the recommended brushing duration. The device requires no external stand, cup, or holder, and may be deployed as a self-standing unit on any flat surface.
