Description



  • Toilet-brush holders are usually cumbersome and antiaesthetic. In order to obviate these defects a new toilet-brush holder has been invented. As a matter of fact, with this new toilet-brush holder its perpetual removals can be avoided and moreover, it can be inserted even in every narrow rooms thus obtaining a very appreciable aesthetic aspect and an easy usage of it. The scheme, herewith enclosed as a non-limitative example which is sufficient for the expert both to carry out the invention and to appeciate its main characteristics, shows a practical realization of the invention.
  • Figure (1) is a top view of the toilet-brush inside it. One can well see the two vertical smooth-wall sides (A,B) and side (C) which, in this case, is curved. Angle (X) between the two sides (A) and (B) is a right angle; by (D) the toilet-brush is indicated and by (E) the toilet-brush handle.
  • Figure (2) is a side view where the straight and vertical wall (A) can be easily seen. Figure (3) is a front view of the toilet-brush holder. Figure (4) is a view of the whole unit.
  • The back side of the toilet-brush holder is a right angle so that it can be placed in a room-walls corner, thus recovering space in the toilet-room and thus giving to the toilet-brush holder its right place in the room without making it wander on the floor. In fact, its characteristic shape makes the user place it into a corner.
  • The bottom of the older is made of a tender material and is shaped in a particular way so that a better adhesion to the floor can be achieved. The toilet-brush holder lays on a self-centric guide bowl which permits to the liquids to drip into the leakproof bottom.
  • The toilet-brush handle has a large and uniform diametre, is made of a blown and elastic material and has a rifling in order to be more easily handled.
  • These are the schematic modalities sufficient to the expert to carry out the invention; as a conseguence, when these schematic modalities are concretely applied, some variants can occur anyway without prejudice to sustance of the innovative concept.
