Described is an automatic dispensing apparatus for dispensing toothpaste. The dispensing apparatus comprises a housing having a front portion with a hole therethrough. The housing is capable of holding a tube of toothpaste. A sensor is attached with the housing. A spring is connectable with the housing for compressing the container of the viscous substance. A dispenser head is attached with the housing for attaching with the container of the viscous substance. Additionally, a motor is connected with the sensor and the dispenser head. Thus, a user can activate the sensor by placing an object proximate the sensor to activate the motor so that the motor rotates the dispenser head. In operation, the spring compresses the tube of toothpaste such that the toothpaste is pressed out of the container and through the dispenser head and the hole in the front portion of the housing to be dispensed upon a toothbrush.

What is claimed is: 1. An automatic dispensing apparatus, comprising: a housing having a front portion, wherein the housing is capable of holding a container of a viscous substance proximate to the front portion, and the front portion further comprising a hole therethrough; a sensor component attached with the front portion of the housing; a compression apparatus that is connectable with the housing, the compression apparatus being operative for compressing the container of the viscous substance; a dispenser head attached with the housing proximate the front portion, wherein the dispenser head is capable of attaching with the container of the viscous substance; and a motor unit connected with the sensor component and the dispenser head, whereby a user can activate the sensor component by placing an object proximate the sensor component to activate the motor unit so that the motor unit rotates the dispenser head, with the compression apparatus compressing the container of the viscous substance such that the viscous substance is pressed out of the container and through the dispenser head and the hole in the front portion of the housing to be dispensed upon the object. 2. An automatic dispenser as set forth in claim 1, wherein the compression apparatus includes a spring for compressing a container of the viscous substance. 3. An automatic dispenser as set forth in claim 2, wherein the dispenser head further comprises a rotating cylinder with a diagonal and continuous opening which directs the flow of the viscous substance from the container of viscous substance to the hole in the front portion of the housing to be dispensed upon an object. 4. An automatic dispenser as set forth in claim 3, wherein the housing further comprises a controller connected with the motor unit, the controller being operable to allow a user to manually set an amount of time that the motor unit is activated to dispense a set amount of the viscous substance upon an object. 5. An automatic dispenser as set forth in claim 4, wherein the dispenser head further comprises a teeth portion and the motor unit further comprises a teeth portion, the teeth portions being formed such that the teeth portion of the motor unit interlink with the teeth portion of the dispenser head, thereby allowing the motor unit to rotate the dispenser head when the motor unit is activated by the sensor component. 6. An automatic dispenser as set forth in claim 5, wherein the housing has a shape, with the shape being formed to simulate an item selected from a group consisting of a house, a car, and a nightlight. 7. An automatic dispenser as set forth in claim 1, wherein the dispenser head further comprises a rotating cylinder with a diagonal and continuous opening which directs the flow of the viscous substance from the container of viscous substance to the hole in the front portion of the housing to be dispensed upon an object. 8. An automatic dispenser as set forth in claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises a controller connected with the motor unit, the controller being operable to allow a user to manually set an amount of time that the motor unit is activated to dispense a set amount of the viscous substance upon an object. 9. An automatic dispenser as set forth in claim 1, wherein the dispenser head further comprises a teeth portion and the motor unit further comprises a teeth portion, the teeth portions being formed such that the teeth portion of the motor unit interlink with the teeth portion of the dispenser head, thereby allowing the motor unit to rotate the dispenser head when the motor unit is activated by the sensor component. 10. An automatic dispenser as set forth in claim 1, wherein the housing has a shape, with the shape being formed to simulate an item selected from a group consisting of a house, a car, and a nightlight. 11. An automatic dispenser as set forth in claim 1, wherein the housing further comprises a toothbrush holder for holding a toothbrush. 12. An automatic dispensing apparatus, comprising: a housing having a front portion, wherein the housing is capable of holding a container of a viscous substance proximate to the front portion, and the front portion further comprising a hole therethrough; a sensor component attached with the front portion of the housing; a compression apparatus that is connectable with the housing, the compression apparatus being operative for compressing the container of the viscous substance; a dispenser head attached with the housing proximate the front portion, wherein the dispenser head is capable of attaching with the container of the viscous substance; a motor unit connected with the sensor component and the dispenser head; wherein the compression apparatus includes a spring for compressing a container of the viscous substance; wherein the dispenser head further comprises a rotating cylinder with a diagonal and continuous opening which directs the flow of the viscous substance from the container of viscous substance to the hole in the front portion of the housing to be dispensed upon an object; wherein the housing further comprises a controller connected with the motor unit, the controller being operable to allow a user to manually set an amount of time that the motor unit is activated to dispense a set amount of the viscous substance upon an object; wherein the dispenser head further comprises a teeth portion and the motor unit further comprises a teeth portion, the teeth portions being formed such that the teeth portion of the motor unit interlink with the teeth portion of the dispenser head, thereby allowing the motor unit to rotate the dispenser head when the motor unit is activated by the sensor component; wherein the housing has a shape, with the shape being formed to simulate an item selected from a group consisting of a house, a car, and a nightlight; and wherein the housing further comprises a toothbrush holder for holding a toothbrush, whereby a user can activate the sensor component by placing an object proximate the sensor component to activate the motor unit so that the motor unit rotates the dispenser head, with the compression apparatus compressing the container of the viscous substance such that the viscous substance is pressed out of the container and through the dispenser head and the hole in the front portion of the housing to be dispensed upon the object. 13. A method for forming an automatic dispensing apparatus, comprising acts of: forming a housing having a front portion, wherein the housing is formed such that it is capable of holding a container of a viscous substance proximate to the front portion, and the front portion further comprising a hole therethrough; attaching a sensor component with the front portion of the housing; forming a compression apparatus that is connectable with the housing, the compression apparatus being operative for compressing the container of the viscous substance; attaching a dispenser head with the housing proximate the front portion, wherein the dispenser head is capable of attaching with the container of the viscous substance; and connecting a motor unit with the sensor component and the dispenser head, whereby a user can activate the sensor component by placing an object proximate the sensor component to activate the motor unit so that the motor unit rotates the dispenser head, with the compression apparatus compressing the container of the viscous substance such that the viscous substance is pressed out of the container and through the dispenser head and the hole in the front portion of the housing to be dispensed upon the object. 14.
