Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toothpick boxes, and in particular a press-type toothpick box. Background Technology

[0002] Existing toothpick holders typically use a tilting or pouring method for retrieval. When using toothpicks, the disorderly arrangement of the toothpicks inside can make them difficult to remove. Furthermore, it's easy to take out multiple toothpicks at once, which can contaminate toothpicks not intended for use, resulting in waste.

[0003] To address the numerous problems with existing toothpick holders, push-button toothpick holders have emerged on the market. These holders typically allow one toothpick to be removed at a time. However, current push-button toothpick holders often suffer from complex structures and small parts, making them prone to detachment or even damage upon impact, resulting in insufficient durability. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention features a linkage structure between the box body and the base, which makes the toothpick box more robust and ensures that it remains intact even if it is dropped or bumped.

[0005] To achieve the above technical effects, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: its structure includes:

[0006] The box body includes a toothpick storage section and a toothpick dispensing slot. A limiting step is provided at the junction of the toothpick storage section and the toothpick dispensing slot. The box body is also provided with a blocking member. A channel with a spacing slightly larger than the diameter of a toothpick is formed between the blocking member and the limiting step.

[0007] A box lid is located on the top of the box body, and the box lid has a stencil opening;

[0008] A base is located at the bottom of the box body, and the base is movably connected to the box body;

[0009] The dispensing slot has a through hole on one side, and the base has a protrusion on the same side of the through hole, forming a support hole between the protrusion and the through hole;

[0010] The positional relationship between the box and the base includes the initial position and the pressing position; when the box is in the initial position, the bottom end of the protrusion is lower than the bottom end of the toothpick dispensing slot; when the box is pressed to the pressing position, the bottom end of the protrusion and the bottom end of the toothpick dispensing slot form a channel with a distance slightly larger than the diameter of a toothpick.

[0011] The blocking component is provided with an arc-shaped stop, and the distance between the arc-shaped stop and the limiting step is slightly larger than the diameter of a toothpick.

[0012] The inner side of the box is provided with a mounting buckle, and the outer side of the base is provided with a mounting slot. The box and the base are movably connected by the cooperation of the mounting buckle and the mounting slot.

[0013] An elastic reset component is provided between the base and the box body, which is used to reset the positional relationship between the box body and the base.

[0014] The elastic reset component is a spring, the base is provided with a spring mounting groove, one end of the spring is fixedly installed in the spring mounting groove of the base, and the other end of the spring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the box.

[0015] The storage unit has one or two ramps.

[0016] When the storage section has two ramps, the two ramps intersect to form a V shape. At this time, a limiting step is provided at the junction of the dispensing slot and each ramp.

[0017] The blocking member is also provided with a limiting frame strip, which is used to limit the position of the protrusion. When the box is pressed until the pressing position is reached, the protrusion abuts against the limiting frame strip.

[0018] The lid has mounting strips on both sides, and the box body has mounting strip slots. When the lid is placed on the box body, the mounting strips are inserted into the mounting strip slots.

[0019] The inside of the lid is also provided with an opening.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the linkage mechanism between the box and the base, the toothpick can be easily and quickly removed. The combined design of the blocking component and the limiting step ensures that only one toothpick is removed at a time, avoiding the problem of dispensing toothpicks haphazardly. Furthermore, the integrated component structure of this utility model reduces the likelihood of damage from external impacts, resulting in higher overall durability. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 A push-button toothpick holder includes a box body 1, a lid 2, a stopper 3, a base 4, and a spring 5. The lid 2 is located on the top of the box body 1, and the stopper 3 is located in a stopper slot 16 at the front end of the box body 1. The box body 1 and the outer side of the base 4 are movably connected by a mounting slot 44 and a mounting buckle 15. A spring 5 is located between the bottom of the box body 1 and the base 4; one end of the spring 5 is fixedly located in a spring mounting slot 42 of the base 4, and the other end is fixedly located in the bottom of the box body 1.

[0034] The mounting slot 44 is larger than the mounting buckle 15. In its natural state without external force, the mounting buckle 15 is positioned at the top of the mounting slot 44 due to the action of the spring 5. When pressure is applied downward to the box 1, the spring 5 will deform and compress in the vertical direction due to the external force, and the mounting buckle 15 will move downward along the direction of the mounting slot 44 until it reaches the pressed position. When the external force is stopped, the spring 5 will return to its original position due to the deformation force, and the box 1 will return to its initial position, and the mounting buckle 15 will also return to the top of the mounting slot 44.

[0035] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 The upper surface of the box body 1 is provided with a toothpick storage section 11 and a toothpick dispensing slot 12. The space above the toothpick storage section 11 is used to store toothpicks 7. The toothpick dispensing slot 12 is used to temporarily store a toothpick 7 that is ready to be dispensed upright. In this utility model, the toothpick storage section 11 is sloped, and the sloped structure is used to guide the toothpick 7 to the toothpick dispensing slot 12. Between the toothpick storage section 11 and the toothpick dispensing slot 12, there is a limiting step 13 for restricting the toothpick 7 from entering the toothpick dispensing slot 12. The toothpick dispensing slot 12 is provided with a through hole 14. The base 4 is provided with a protrusion 41 corresponding to the position of the through hole 14. The protrusion 41 is used to press and lift the toothpick 7 at the toothpick dispensing slot 12, so that the toothpick 7 is upright. The blocking member 3 on the blocking member slot 16 is provided with an arc-shaped stop 31. The distance between the arc-shaped stop 31 and the limiting step 13 is slightly larger than the diameter of a toothpick 7, so that only one toothpick 7 enters the toothpick dispensing slot 12 from the toothpick storage section 11 at a time, while the remaining toothpicks 7 are stopped in the toothpick storage section 11 by the arc-shaped stop 31. The coordinated arrangement of the arc-shaped stop 31 and the limiting step 13 avoids the problem of disordered dispensing.

[0036] A toothpick dispensing opening 21 is provided on the lid 2 at the top of the box body 1. When the toothpick 7 is raised and upright, the upper part of the toothpick 7 protrudes outside the dispensing opening 21, allowing the user to dispensing the toothpick. An opening 23, approximately the size of an index finger, is also provided on the inner side of the lid 2. The user can easily remove the lid 2 from the box body 1 using the opening 23, thus conveniently replenishing the toothpicks. Anti-slip mounting strips 22 are provided on both sides of the lid 2, and mounting strip slots 17 are provided on both sides of the top surface of the box body 1. When the lid 2 is on top of the box body 1, the mounting strips 22 are inserted into the mounting strip slots 17. At this time, the mounting strips 22 are tightly attached to the inner side of the box body 1, preventing the lid 2 from falling off the box body 1 when tilted.

[0037] like Figures 8 to 10 To make the pressing structure clearer, the spring assembly is hidden in the front cross-section. The blocking member 3 also has a limiting frame strip 32, and the base 4 also has a pressing limiting strip 43. (For example...) Figure 8 Before spring 5 is pressed, box 1 is in its initial position relative to base 4, and toothpick 7 is pressed against the outside of protrusion 41. Figure 9 When spring 5 is pressed, the box body 1 is in the pressed position relative to the base. After pressing spring 5 to the point where it can no longer be pressed, the pressing limit strip 43 abuts against the bottom of the box body 1, and the limiting frame strip 32 abuts against the protrusion 41. At this time, the distance between the protrusion 41 and the toothpick dispensing slot 12 is also slightly larger than the diameter of a toothpick 7. A toothpick 7 can then roll into the toothpick dispensing slot 12 through the gap between the arc-shaped stop 31 and the toothpick dispensing slot 12 at the toothpick storage part 11. Figure 10When spring 5 is released, the box 1 returns to its original position relative to the base 4. The protrusion 41 moves downward relative to the box 1, lifting the toothpick 7 and making it stand upright. Simultaneously, after resetting, the protrusion 41 returns to its original position, preventing subsequent toothpicks 7 from being removed. This structural design allows for the removal of a single toothpick 7, avoiding the problem of removing multiple toothpicks 7 at once.

[0038] The toothpick holder also has a support hole 6, which is used to support the toothpick 7 when it is upright. The support hole 6 is a circular through hole composed of two semi-circular holes, and its diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of a toothpick 7. One semi-circular hole of the support hole 6 is located at one end of the protrusion 41, and the other semi-circular hole is located at the edge of the through hole 14. When the protrusion 41 lifts the toothpick 7, one end of the toothpick 7 will be guided to the side of the protrusion 41 of the support hole 6. After the toothpick 7 is fully lifted, the semi-circular hole on the side of the through hole 14 further assists in supporting the toothpick 7, so that the toothpick 7 stands upright and protrudes out of the toothpick opening 21.

[0039] In addition to the toothpick box with a single-sided sloping storage section 11 structure described above, this utility model can also adopt a structure with two intersecting slopes forming a V-shape. In this structure, the dispensing slot 12 is located at the bottom of the V-shape formed by the two intersecting slopes, and the retrieval port 21, located directly above the processing section 12, is positioned along the central axis of the lid 2. At this time, a limiting step 13 is provided at the intersection of the dispensing slot 12 and the two slopes, and a blocking member 3 is located on the central axis of the box body 1. Correspondingly, a blocking member slot 16 is also located on the central axis of the box body 1, and each end of the blocking member 3 has an arc-shaped stop 31. After opening the lid 2, the user can fill the storage section 11 with spare toothpicks 7 from the left and right sides at an angle, with the toothpicks 7 stopped on both sides of the protrusion 41. When the box body 1 is pressed down to the pressing position, because the distance between the protrusion 41 and the toothpick dispensing slot 12 is slightly larger than the diameter of a toothpick, only one toothpick 7 will enter the dispensing slot 12. The remaining toothpicks 7 will be stopped between the arc-shaped stop parts 31 on both sides and the limiting steps 13. After releasing the box body 1 and resetting it, the toothpick 7 will be lifted and upright by the protrusion 41, with the upper part of the toothpick 7 protruding outside the toothpick dispensing opening 21 located in the middle of the box lid 2. Compared with the single-sided slope design, this design places the toothpick dispensing opening 21 in the middle of the box lid 2, which is suitable for users who prefer a more symmetrical design.

[0040] The above description outlines the specific structural features, usage methods, and advantages of this utility model. It should be noted that the specific implementation of this utility model is not limited to the above-described methods. Any non-substantial improvements made using the technical solution of this utility model, or the direct application of the concept and technical solution of this utility model to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of this utility model. The scope of protection claimed by this utility model is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
