Bathroom utensil holder with magnetic cap

Abstract

A bathroom utensil holder with magnetic fastener cap system is disclosed: The system includes a mounting member and at least one magnetic fastener cap. The magnetic fastener cap has a high strength permanent magnet inserted inside. The mounting member is a galvanized steel plate or shaped rod. The mounting member has double stick foam tape and or suction cups for mounting. The magnetic fastener cap slips on the end of utensil handles ( toothbrushes, nail clippers, shaving razor, scissors, tweezers, pencils and cap of tooth paste tube. When the magnetic fastener cap is attached to handle of utensil it holds the utensil to the steel mounting member with magnetic attraction. Utensils hang vertically downward from the mounting member providing hygienic cleanliness for the toothbrushes and utensils helping organize utensils.

Description

[0001] Bathroom utensil holder with magnetic fastener cap This invention relates to bathroom utensil holders and more particularly to utensil holders using magnetic attraction to hold bath utensil to the mounting member.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002] In the past bath utensils with handles have been stored in drawers, cups, medicine cabinets shelves, and varied holders. The problem with this is most utensils with handles are not stored in one easily assessable place--(toothbrushes, scissors, razors, tweezers, nail clippers etc) are not stored in a hygienic manner. For example, many wall mounted toothbrush holders, counter top toothbrush cups and holders are limited to hold only toothbrushes.[0003] The other utensils are stored in other places limiting the users quick access to all utensils. Therefore the utensils are scattered in various places and are not easily accessible for use Another common problem with toothbrush storage systems is they are not hygienic. When toothbrushes are s...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

0013] Another objective of this invention will provide a magnetic fastener cap which attaches to different size toothbrush handles, and bath utensils with small handles The magnetic fastener cap is reusable. After toothbrush bristles are worn, the fastener cap can be placed on a new toothbrush.

0014] Another objective will provide a toothbrush / utensil holder that easily mounts to surfaces such as tile, mirror, wood, walls, inside cabinets by either suction cups, mounting tape or screws.

0015] These and other objectives of the present invention are achieved through a toothbrush / utensil holder comprised of a main mounting member formed of non corrosive steel. The magnetic fastener cap contains a high strength permanent magnet that slips easily onto varied sized handles of toothbrushes, and other utensils. A utensil with magnetic fastener cap on end of handle easily adheres to the non corrosive main mounting member.

0016] Advantages of this present invention include the easy access of different utensils in one mounting member. Utensils located vertically on mounting member hang downward with magnetic fastener cap attached to the end of utensil handle. The magnetic fastener cap can be easily removed and reused on other small handled utensils.

Problems solved by technology

The problem with this is most utensils with handles are not stored in one easily assessable place--(toothbrushes, scissors, razors, tweezers, nail clippers etc) are not stored in a hygienic manner.

For example, many wall mounted toothbrush holders, counter top toothbrush cups and holders are limited to hold only toothbrushes.

The other utensils are stored in other places limiting the users quick access to all utensils.

Therefore the utensils are scattered in various places and are not easily accessible for use Another common problem with toothbrush storage systems is they are not hygienic.

When toothbrushes are stored in cups bacteria and contaminants tend to develop in the moist bottom of the cup.

When the toothbrushes are stored in wall mounted toothbrush holders the handle slips through the hole of the holder, and the moist bristles contact bacteria on the holder One other problem is the bristles are bent when in contact with the wall mounted holder.

Therefore these bristles do not completely dry between uses and are subject to growth of bacteria Another common problem is many new toothbrushes have larger handles.

Many cups and wall mounted toothbrush holders have small holes and are unable to store toothbrushes with larger handles.

The problems these known magnetic toothbrush holders display is that they hold the toothbrush vertically with bristles held upward.

After used toothbrushes are hung on these magnetic holders, moisture tends to drip down from the bristles to the handle creating a pasty residue that dries on the handle, where addition air carried bacteria can accumulate.

These magnetic holders are limited to toothbrushes only They can not be easily stored in one place or hold other bathroom utensils with handles--(toothbrushes, razors, scissors, tweezers, nail clippers, nail files and pencils.)

Most importantly these magnetic toothbrush holders limit the user to use only their custom made steel or magnet impregnated toothbrush.
