Abstract

While traveling, and due to various circumstances, I couldn't keep my toothbrush, toothpaste tube, and other items neatly organized in a rinsing cup, and they ended up scattered. This presented a challenge as I tried to figure out a solution. [Solution] A pocket has been created on the side of the toothpaste tube cap where a toothbrush can be attached and stored together when the toothpaste is not in use. When the toothbrush is placed inside for storage, the two become one unit, and when they become separate items, they are less likely to get scattered and are convenient to carry around.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The sickly author had a long hospital stay. When wanting to brush teeth here, a set of three items including a toothpaste tube, a toothbrush, and a rinsing cup had to be prepared on the bedside table. However, since the rinsing cup usually contains tea or drinking water, it was impossible to neatly organize and place the toothbrush, toothpaste tube, etc. together in it. Also, the sink for brushing teeth was located far from the dining table and the private room. When brushing teeth, the three-piece toothbrushing set placed separately on the bedside table had to be carried to the sink one by one at the same time. But a person only has two arms, and various problems occurred with the three-piece toothbrushing set. It was easy to get messy and inconvenient to carry. When thinking about how to solve this, a problem arose. Means for Solving the Problem

[0005] When I don't brush my teeth, my toothbrush, toothpaste tube, and rinsing cup are usually scattered haphazardly on my lamp stand. However, as seen in this invention, the toothbrush is stored in a pocket attached to the side of the toothpaste tube's lid, making the toothpaste tube and toothbrush a single, separate item. This makes them less likely to get scattered, easier to carry, and allows me to neatly store them upright on my lamp stand every day. [Effect of the Invention]

[0006] This toothbrushing kit is particularly convenient for travel, as the toothpaste tube and toothbrush, which are usually carried separately, are always attached together as a single unit when not in use, making it easy to keep organized and convenient to carry. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] This diagram shows the present invention, a toothpaste tube with a toothbrush attached, in which a toothbrush pocket is attached to the side of the lid of the toothpaste tube, allowing the toothbrush to be stored inside when not in use. [Figure 2] This diagram shows that the toothbrush pocket, which can accommodate a toothbrush and is attached to the side of the lid of a toothpaste tube according to the present invention, is made of a mesh-like material using plastic or the like. Modes for carrying out the invention

[0007] The toothbrush pocket in this invention, which can house a toothbrush and is attached to the side of the lid of a toothpaste tube, is used in wet areas, so it was considered ideal to make it out of plastic or a similar material, either by making holes or by creating a mesh structure. [Examples]

[0008] When the toothpaste tube and toothbrush product used in the present invention are tested by the same manufacturer, the toothbrush insertion / removal pocket attached to the side of the toothpaste tube cap with adhesive shows that both fit together. However, ideally, it would be better if the cap were made a little longer or the toothbrush shorter during production. Potential for industrial use

[0009] When both the toothpaste tube and the toothbrush product in the "toothbrush with toothpaste tube" invention described in this application are manufactured by the same company, it was thought that if these inventions were sold on the market, they would be related products, and therefore both the toothbrush and the toothpaste tube would sell continuously while maintaining a synergistic effect, thus having extremely great potential for industrial use.

Claims

[Claim 1] When not brushing teeth, a mesh pocket made of plastic or the like is attached to the side of the lid of the toothpaste tube according to the present invention, and a toothbrush is inserted into this pocket to keep the toothbrush and toothpaste tube together. When brushing teeth, the toothbrush can be removed from the pocket attached to the side of the lid and used.
