Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a toothbrush stand that can hygienically store a toothbrush without taking up space and is also easy to attach and detach the toothbrush.

Background Art

[0002] In a conventional toothbrush holder, it was necessary to newly occupy a wall surface, a door, etc. when storing the toothbrush. Also, there was an issue in terms of hygiene due to being close to the wall surface. In the case of being attached to a cup handle, there was the trouble of taking out, moving, and returning the toothbrush every time when rinsing the mouth. Conventionally, there was a toothbrush holder shown in FIG. 3. As an overview, it uses a sponge seal or a suction cup to fix the main body to a wall surface, a door, etc., and the main body can hold the handle of the toothbrush in a detachable state (see Patent Document 1). Also, there was a cup shown in FIG. 4 that reduces the area of the storage place for the toothbrush. By providing a toothbrush stand on the handle, hygienic storage of the toothbrush is facilitated without taking up space (see Patent Document 2).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The space in the washroom or bathroom where the toothbrush is stored is limited, and storage in a form that does not take up space as much as possible is desirable. In the sponge seal or suction cup type toothbrush holder of Patent Document 1, when storing the toothbrush, although it does not occupy the horizontal plane, it is necessary to newly occupy the attached vertical surface such as the wall surface or the door. For example, events such as a part of the washbasin mirror being hidden occur. Also, when there is a depth in the washbasin or when used by a person of short stature, there may be no appropriate target surface within the reach of the hand. Furthermore, there are not only location issues but also hygiene issues. Due to the closeness of the distance between the brush part of the toothbrush and the wall surface, it was a shape in which mold and the like were likely to occur. In addition, due to the characteristics of the sponge seal and the suction cup, if it is continuously attached to the surface, dirt and yellowing will occur on the surface in the long term. In the cup for suppressing the area of the storage place of the toothbrush of Patent Document 2, when storing the toothbrush, it does not occupy the limited horizontal plane and does not occupy the vertical plane either. However, when rinsing the mouth, there was the annoyance of taking out the toothbrush every time, moving it and putting it back.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] It includes a support clip, a toothbrush holding part, and a body. The support clip is provided at one end of the body, and the toothbrush holding part is a toothbrush stand provided at the other end of the body. The toothbrush stand is provided with a base. The support clip is provided on the side of the base opposite to the toothbrush holding part, and the support clip is bent so as to cover the base. The toothbrush holding part includes two protrusions that can detachably hold the handle part of the toothbrush. The protrusions include a first protrusion and a second protrusion. The first protrusion is on the upper side of two locations of the toothbrush holding part, and the second protrusion is on the lower side of two locations of the toothbrush holding part. Even when the top surface of the base is higher than the top surface of the toothbrush holding part, the difference is within about 10 mm. The body is made of elastic resin. A toothbrush stand that sandwiches the seal part of the tube of the dentifrice container etc. with a support clip provided at one end of the body, and sandwiches the toothbrush with a toothbrush holding part provided at the other end of the body.

Advantages of the Invention

[0006] When storing the toothbrush, by integrating it with a tube-shaped dentifrice container with the cap at the bottom, it can be stored without taking up space. When storing the toothbrush, if the dentifrice container is installed away from the wall surface, the hygiene of the brush part of the toothbrush can be improved. It can be produced inexpensively and in large quantities.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described. It includes a support clip (21), a toothbrush holding part (31), and a body (11). The support clip (21) is provided at one end of the body (11), and the toothbrush holding part (31) is a toothbrush stand (1) provided at the other end of the body (11). The toothbrush stand (1) is provided with a base (41). The support clip (21) is provided on the side of the base (41) opposite to the toothbrush holding part (31), and the support clip (11) is bent in a shape covering the base (41). The toothbrush holding part (31) includes two protrusions that can detachably sandwich the handle part (62) of the toothbrush (61). The protruding body includes a first protruding body (32) and a second protruding body (33). The first protruding body (32) is on the upper side of two positions of the toothbrush holding part (31), and the second protruding body (33) is on the lower side of two positions of the toothbrush holding part (31). Even when the top surface (42) of the base (41) is higher than the top surface (34) of the toothbrush holding part (31), the difference is within about 10 mm. The body (11) is made of elastic resin. A toothbrush stand that sandwiches the seal part (52) of the tube of the dentifrice container (51) etc. with the support clip (21) provided at one end of the body (11), and sandwiches the toothbrush (61) with the toothbrush holding part (31) provided at the other end of the body (11). The present invention has the above structure. The use of the present invention will be described. A support clip (21) is provided at one end of the body (11), and a toothbrush holding part (31) is provided at the other end. Thereby, the toothbrush (61) fixed to the toothbrush holding part (31) can be integrated with the tube-shaped dentifrice container (51). Thereby, the toothbrush (61) can be stored compactly, and when in use, the toothbrush (61) can be attached and detached at a place within easy reach of the hand. Also, when the user moves the dentifrice container (51) to be fixed away from the wall etc. and holds the toothbrush (61) with the brush part facing upward, there are no obstacles in all directions around the brush part, so the generation of mold can be suppressed. In addition, because of the method of combining with the dentifrice container (51) instead of a cup, it is not necessary to move the toothbrush (61) every time one rinses the mouth.
