Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toothbrush with a support surface formed on the handle with markings or inscriptions.
  • a toothbrush with a lenticular thickening on the toothbrush handle which prevents the toothbrush handle from slipping through in a toothbrush stand up to the bristles.
  • This thickening can serve as an emblem of the manufacturer or in different colors to differentiate between several toothbrushes.
  • this thickening is less in dimension in the plane of the flat side of the toothbrush than the width of the toothbrush handle, so that it is not large enough to serve as a carrier surface to be able to serve for inscriptions.
  • This toothbrush can only be suspended in a holder which has a narrowly delimited hole into which the handle fits, but the lenticular thickening cannot slip through.
  • Toothbrushes should be kept clear in sales stands, but still tightly packed. This is not possible with the known toothbrush with the lenticular thickening.
  • the object of the invention is to design a toothbrush of the type described in the introduction in such a way that not only a better differentiation from other toothbrushes, but also a safe hanging of the toothbrush, in particular in sales stands, is made possible.
  • the design according to the invention not only creates a larger support surface for inscriptions, which provides better differentiation options, but the widening projecting beyond the grip contour in conjunction with the molded projections or hanging hooks enables the toothbrush to be securely hung in a holder, and not only for an excellent presentation in a shop, but also for the end user, which has the particular advantage that the toothbrush is given a permanent place.
  • the brushes can also bleed and dry well. Furthermore, the tooth cup is not soiled by this suspension.
  • the widening can be designed as a disc and have a circular, oval or polygonal outer shape. Furthermore, the widening or disc can be arranged directly at the free end of the handle or in the vicinity of the free end of the handle, and the end of the handle can then protrude beyond the widening or the disc. However, it is also possible for the widening or the disk to be arranged in the vicinity of the handle end facing the brush.
  • An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the carrier surface is surrounded by a raised edge. This can in particular delimit labels arranged on the carrier surface and thus protect them against damage during use of the toothbrush.
  • the widening or disc can have an outer shape corresponding to a stylized form of fairy tale, animal or fantasy characters or their heads.
  • the widening can have the shape of the head of one of the Busch figures or the shape of the head of an imaginary figure.
  • references to localities can also be provided as labels.
  • the toothbrush which is denoted overall by 1 and comprises a brush body 2 and a handle 3, has a widening or disc 5 which are formed in the vicinity of the free handle end or directly at the free handle end .
  • the widening or disc which has a carrier surface 9 for receiving the inscription or a label, protrudes clearly beyond the outer contour of the handle of the toothbrush.
  • the carrier surface 9 for receiving the inscription and the labels is surrounded by a protruding edge 11, the one forms certain protection for the label stuck on and also enables several such adhesive labels to be stuck together without this being visible from the outside.
  • sticking together is necessary if, for example, it turns out that certain names that are already glued to the toothbrushes are not removable, while other names are much more in demand, so that it is subsequently necessary to add the non-removable labels to others stick over.
  • FIG. 1 A further special feature is shown in FIG. 1; it consists in the fact that in the edge region of the disk 5 lugs 12 are formed, whereby 3 recesses 13 are formed between these lugs and the handle. These hanging hooks formed from lugs 12 and recesses 13 serve to hang the brush on a stand which is provided with wire-shaped holders.
  • the lugs or projections 12 face the brush body 2.
  • the lugs 12 prevent the toothbrush from rotating, so that it hangs more securely with these lugs.
  • the disc 5 is flat on its front side, on which it has the support surface 9, and shows a bulge on the rear side, which originates from the handle 3 .
  • the carrier surface it is also possible to design the carrier surface not as a flat surface but as a convex or concave surface.
