[0028] See Figure 1-6This application provides a metal toothpick holder, including a box body 100, a box lid 200, and a top cover 300. The box body 100 has a hollow structure and an opening 11 at its upper end. The box lid 200 closes to the opening 11, forming a toothpick storage area between the box body 100 and the box lid 200. The top cover 300 is rotatably disposed on the upper surface of the box lid 200. The side surface of the box body 100 is recessed inward to form a recessed portion 12. The recessed portion 12 has an outwardly extending protrusion 13. The box 100 includes a first protrusion 131 and a second protrusion 132, which divide the box body 100 into three parts: an upper box body 14, a middle box body 15, and a lower box body 16. The recessed part 12, the first protrusion 131, and the second protrusion 132 form a biomimetic anti-slip structure. The box body 100, the lid 200, and the top cover 300 are all made of metal. When the user picks it up, the biomimetic anti-slip structure fits the user's hand to prevent it from slipping from the user's hand.
[0029] It should be noted that with this design, the box body 100, the lid 200, and the top cover 300 are made of metal. Compared with traditional plastic toothpick boxes, this effectively avoids the generation of microplastics caused by friction between plastic toothpick boxes, thus preventing plastic from entering the human body, making it both healthy and aesthetically pleasing. At the same time, by providing a recessed part 12, a first protrusion 131, and a second protrusion 132 on the side of the box body 100 to form a biomimetic anti-slip structure, the recessed part 12 fits the palm, and the first protrusion 131 and the second protrusion 132 fit the gaps between the fingers. When the user picks it up, the biomimetic anti-slip structure fits the user's hand, preventing it from slipping out of the user's hand.
[0030] In order to ensure that the lid 200 fits tightly on the box body 100, in some alternative embodiments, the upper side of the box body 100 is provided with an inwardly recessed first limiting step 17, and the lower end of the lid 200 fits on the first limiting step 17, which can prevent dust from entering the toothpick storage area and also effectively prevent toothpicks from scattering to the outside.
[0031] In order to ensure that the top cover 300 fits tightly on the box cover 200, in some alternative embodiments, the upper side of the box cover 200 is provided with an inwardly recessed second limiting step 21, and the lower end of the top cover 300 fits on the second limiting step 21, which further prevents dust from entering the toothpick storage area and effectively prevents toothpicks from scattering to the outside.
[0032] In order to enable the top cover 300 to rotate on the box cover 200, in some optional embodiments, a limiting hole 22 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the box cover 200, and a limiting post 31 adapted to the limiting hole 22 is provided at the lower end of the top cover 300. The top cover 300 is rotatably disposed at the limiting hole 22 of the box cover 200 through the limiting post 31.
[0033] In order to enable the toothpick box to open or close, in some optional embodiments, the upper surface of the box cover 200 is provided with a large toothpick dispensing hole 23, a small toothpick dispensing hole 24 and a toothpick dispensing hole group 25, all of which are connected to the toothpick storage area.
[0034] To further enable the toothpick box to open or close, in some alternative embodiments, the top cover 300 is provided with a dispensing port 32 that is adapted to the large dispensing hole 23, the small dispensing hole 24 and the dispensing hole group 25.
[0035] It should be noted that with this configuration, by rotating the top cover 300, the toothpick dispensing opening 32 can be aligned with or avoid the large toothpick dispensing hole 23, the small toothpick dispensing hole 24, and the toothpick dispensing hole group 25, thereby achieving the function of opening or closing. Users can align the toothpick dispensing opening 32 with any of the large toothpick dispensing hole 23, the small toothpick dispensing hole 24, and the toothpick dispensing hole group 25 according to their needs, so that the toothpick slides out from the toothpick storage area through the toothpick hole and the toothpick dispensing opening 32.
[0036] In order to enhance the friction between the box 100 and the user's hand, in some alternative embodiments, a first protrusion 131 is provided above a second protrusion 132, and a first dividing line 133 is provided in the middle of the first protrusion 131, which divides the first protrusion 131 into a third protrusion 134 and a fourth protrusion 135.
[0037] In order to further enhance the friction between the box 100 and the user's hand, in some alternative embodiments, a second dividing line 136 is provided in the middle of the first protrusion 131, and the second dividing line 136 divides the second protrusion 132 into a fifth protrusion 137 and a sixth protrusion 138.
[0038] It should be noted that with this configuration, the first protrusion 131 is divided into the third protrusion 134 and the fourth protrusion 135 by setting the first dividing line 133, and the second protrusion 132 is divided into the fifth protrusion 137 and the sixth protrusion 138 by setting the second dividing line 136. The double protrusion becomes a quadruple protrusion that comes into contact with the user's hand, increasing the contact area and thus increasing the friction between the side of the box 100 and the hand.
[0039] In some alternative embodiments, the bottom of the lower layer 16 of the box is provided with a bottom cover 161.
[0040] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any appropriate changes and variations made to the above embodiments within the scope of the essential spirit of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
