Abstract

To provide a compact portable toothbrush, when being pulled out of a case, usable as it is by storing toothpaste in the case, where the toothbrush can be replaced.SOLUTION: A portable toothbrush includes two recesses (one on each of both sides) on the inside of a case lid (1) slightly inward from an opening part of the case lid, and two projections (facing each other) on the outside of a case body (2) slightly inward from the opening part of the case body, so that the lid can be firmly fastened. The portable toothbrush includes two projections (one on each side) on the inside of the case body slightly inward from the opening part thereof, and two short grooves (one on each side) in the middle of the stored toothbrush (3), so that the toothbrush stops when it is pulled out to a certain point, where the case body (2) also serves as a toothbrush handle to hold the toothbrush and can be used as is. When the toothbrush (3) is replaced, the elasticity of the case body (2) allows it to be pulled out. The shape of the handle part of the toothbrush (3) matches the shape of the toothpaste, thereby ensuring stable storage.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The case has a lid (1), a case body (2) that stores the toothbrush (3) and is held when in use, and a toothbrush (3) that is stored inside. On the inside of the lid (1), provide two small protrusions (which act as stoppers) a little way inside the opening (one on each diagonal). The case body (2) has two recesses (one on each diagonal face) located slightly outside the opening (so that the protruding part of the lid can be caught). Just like the inside of the lid (1), the inside of the case body (2) has two protrusions (which act as stoppers to prevent the stored toothbrush (3) from falling out) at two positions (on both sides) a little inside the opening. That is, the toothbrush (3) also has a groove on the side where it slides, and the area without the groove hits a protrusion, so it cannot be pulled out. A protrusion is provided on the bottom inside the case body (2) to prevent the toothbrush (3) from going all the way in. The toothbrush (3) has a handle in a part close to the brush where toothpaste is placed, and is shaped to have the same curve as the toothpaste tube, ensuring stability when storing and pulling out the toothpaste. When replacing your toothbrush, please be aware that the thickness of the case material makes it flexible. If you pull it out a little harder, it will come out and can be replaced. The case lid (1) can be fitted onto the bottom of the case body (2) when in use. [Explanation of symbols]
