Description

Toothbrush cover

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of daily supplies, in particular to a toothbrush cover for protecting toothbrush bristles.

Background

The toothbrush is an oral cavity cleaning article, and bristles are arranged on a brush head of a brush handle. When the toothbrush is used, a user can add toothpaste on the bristles and then brush all parts of the teeth. Since objects entering the oral cavity need to be kept clean to prevent diseases from entering the oral cavity, the toothbrush must also be kept clean.

At present, dust in the air is increased day by day, but the existing toothbrush is placed in an open state in use and cannot be prevented from dust. In order to prevent dust adhering to the toothbrush head from directly entering the mouth, dust protection of the toothbrush head is very important. In addition, if the toothbrush is carried out and placed in a bag at will, the bristles are easily stained with dust or dirt and even crushed and deformed if no cover is used for protecting the bristles. Therefore, a toothbrush cover is required to prevent dust from accumulating on the head of the toothbrush and to prevent the bristles from being crushed and deformed. In addition, since the frequency of use of the toothbrush is very high, bacteria in the oral cavity are likely to remain on the brush head of the toothbrush. Furthermore, the toothbrush cover is usually provided with an opening for ventilation, because bacteria are likely to grow in the bathroom or kitchen, which is likely to accelerate the growth of bacteria on the toothbrush.

However, while the prior art has been directed to toothbrush cover designs, they tend to be only suitable for use with a particular toothbrush size. If the brush head of the toothbrush is too large, the toothbrush cannot be installed in the toothbrush cover. On the contrary, if the toothbrush head is too small, the toothbrush head is easily separated from the toothbrush cover, which is very inconvenient.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a toothbrush cover to effectively solve the above problems, and the specific structure and implementation thereof will be described in detail below:

Detailed Description

The invention provides a toothbrush cover which is used for protecting a bristle part of a toothbrush head, preventing the bristles from contacting objects and being polluted when the toothbrush is carried, and preventing the bristles from being crushed and deformed.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a toothbrush cover according to the present invention is shown in a perspective view and a cross-sectional view.

The toothbrush cover 10 of the present invention comprises a case 12, the case 12 having an accommodating space 24 therein, and a first opening 14 provided at one end of the case 12 for a toothbrush to be inserted into the accommodating space 24 of the case 12 from the first opening 14. The housing 12 is made of, for example, plastic or other elastic materials, but not limited thereto. Further, a second opening 22 and a bead 16 are provided above the housing 12. One end of the bead 16 is disposed at the upper edge of the first opening 14, and the other end extends toward the second opening 22. In this embodiment, the pressing strip 16 is fixed at a fixed end thereof to an upper edge of the first opening 14, and the other end thereof is a free end and can be elastically displaced. The bead 16 hangs down into the housing 12 further along the length of the second opening 22. The depending bead 16 may be adapted to resiliently deform to press against the handle of the toothbrush. The housing 12 is provided with a plurality of legs 18 on both sides, and the legs 18 extend upward from the bottom of the housing 12 and are bent inward at the top of the housing 12 to the second opening 22.

The portion of the leg 18 on the side of the housing 12 is inclined toward the inside of the housing 12, so that the housing 12 is in a retracted state to hold the toothbrush, and the bead 16 further functions to apply force from above for fixing.

In addition, as best seen in FIG. 2, a retainer 26 is provided in the mid-section of each leg 18 and projects inwardly of the housing 12 for retaining the toothbrush, e.g., the retainer 26 may abut the handle or bristles of the toothbrush to retain the toothbrush from the side.

In the present invention, the legs 18 on the same side of the housing 12 are spaced apart from each other by a gap 20, so that the housing 12 is like a bar. This design not only increases the flexibility of the leg 18, allowing a wider toothbrush to be inserted into the receiving space 24, but also increases the ventilation effect of the receiving space 24, preventing the toothbrush from becoming wet.

At least one through hole 23 is formed in the housing 12 at the other end opposite to the first opening 14, and is arranged for enhancing the ventilation effect, if the sleeved toothbrush is wet, the air circulation inside and outside the accommodating space 24 can be kept by virtue of the gap 20 between the leg parts 18, the through hole 23 and the second opening 22, so that the drying of the toothbrush is accelerated, and the problems of bacteria breeding, mildew generation and the like caused by the fact that the toothbrush is jammed in the housing which is not ventilated are avoided.

Referring to fig. 3, which is a side sectional view of the present invention, it can be seen that when the toothbrush cover 10 is not inserted into a toothbrush, the bead 16 is in a drooping state, which is a shape formed during the molding process, so that when the bead 16 is elastically deformed by the upward pushing of the toothbrush, as shown in fig. 4, the receiving space 24 inside the case 12 receives bristles and a handle of a head portion of the toothbrush, and the bead 16 is pushed up to generate a restoring force to be pushed down. Therefore, when the toothbrush 30 is nested in the toothbrush cover 10 of the present invention, the bristles 34 of the toothbrush 30 contact the bottom of the case 12, and the handle 32 of the toothbrush 30 is pressed by the pressing bar 16.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the retainer 26 secures the bristles 34 of the toothbrush 30 from the side, but in other embodiments, moving the position of the retainer 26 upward secures the handle 32 of the toothbrush 30 from the side.

In summary, the toothbrush cover provided by the invention is provided with the opening for being sleeved with the toothbrush, the pressing strip extends inwards from the upper part of the opening, and when the toothbrush is sleeved in the shell, the pressing strip applies force downwards to press the toothbrush, so that a better fixing effect is achieved. In addition, the toothbrush cover has the pressing strips, so that the leg parts at two sides can have more abundant elastic space, and the toothbrush cover can not fall off because the pressing strips are fixed above the toothbrush cover even if the force for clamping the toothbrush from two sides is small; further, the toothbrush cover of the present invention has higher compatibility to accommodate more sized toothbrushes.

The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications to the features and spirit described in the scope of the present application should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
