Up until now it was customary to use paper or pipe cleaners Bringing plastic packaging onto the market and leaving it in its original packaging. Such packaging is unsightly and cannot be kept in the bag for a long time, e.g. in the Carry inside jacket pocket. In addition, the individual pipe cleaners slide, especially when carried in a jacket inside pocket and destroy the jacket lining or shirt and can also lead to

"15 injuries lead.

The invention has the task of proposing a container for holding pipe cleaners, which does not have any of the disadvantages mentioned above, is pleasing to the execution and is permanently safe Carrying the pipe cleaner on the body is suitable.

To solve this problem, a container for holding pipe cleaners consisting of a flat, open at the top and on the long sides in the bottom area

Figure 1 shows a schematic section through a sheath 1 along the line A-A in Figure 2. The Sheath 1 is preferably used to hold pipe cleaners and has approximately the shape of a bag or of a glasses case with an open upper edge, on which two spring elements 2 opposite each other ρ- are provided are. Such spring elements are widespread and are used, for example, in wallets or key cases encountered. The spring elements 2 tend to lie flat against one another, so that the case 1 closed is. To open the case 1, the spring elements 2 are by pressure on the side walls of the Cover 1 spread apart. This position is indicated in FIG.

In the interior of the case 1, a first tab 3 is provided below the spring elements 2 on an inner wall attached to its upper edge and directed with its free edge to the bottom of the case 1. In the middle of first flap 3 a dart 5 is provided, which the first flap 3 has a downward curvature gives, so that it has no tendency to fold upwards in the direction of the spring elements 2 by itself. The first tab 3 is used to cover pipe cleaners located in the case 1, which are in the Figures not shown for reasons of clarity

places are.

Figure 3 shows another embodiment of a case 1 according to the invention, the opening again through

Spring elements 2 can be closed. The spring elements 2 5

are covered by a second flap 4, which is attached to an outside of the case 1 and over the The upper edge of the sheath 1 is foldable. On the fastening side opposite outside of the -JQ case 1 is a bolt 6 is provided for securing the second tab 4 is used. This is done by simply pushing through the second tab 4 under the latch 6.

-] 5 It is clear that instead of a bolt 6 also a other known safety device can be provided, for example a Velcro fastener, snap fasteners o.a ..

It is also clear to the person skilled in the art that other, conventional closure elements can be provided instead of spring elements are, for example, also a Velcro fastener, a zip fastener, press studs, pressure strips, etc.
