Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toothbrush holder as a shelf for toothbrushes, which at least partially engages the handle-shaped toothbrush handle in the use position.
  • Toothbrush holders are already known in which toothbrushes are inserted and held after use.
  • the toothbrush mug itself serves as a holder.
  • special holders which are optionally designed as a holder for inserting a toothbrush cup and also have insertion openings for one or more toothbrushes, into which the toothbrushes are inserted from above and then get caught either with the brush head or a thickened handle.
  • Other embodiments of toothbrush holders have wall holders with one or more holes for inserting the handle end or holders for clamping the brush handle end. All of these storage holders have in common that the toothbrush is stored approximately vertically.
  • the toothbrush and also the toothpaste tube are held with one hand and the tube closure is opened with the other hand.
  • the tube is usually closed again, but care must be taken to ensure that the toothpaste applied does not fall off the brush.
  • This process requires a not inconsiderable level of dexterity and routine, which in certain cases, however, is not or may not be present. Older people in particular, but also children, often find it difficult to get the toothpaste on the brush.
  • the problem with one-armed people is that only one of the objects can be held at a time, which is why they help themselves to put the toothbrush on the sink and then the toothpaste to apply. Apart from the possibly poor hygienic conditions directly on the wash basin, there is only a slight positional stability of the back of the toothbrush when it is put away, so that it slightly tips over to the side when toothpaste is applied.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a holder for toothbrushes which, with simple handling, enables a toothbrush to be stored securely, so that toothpaste can also be applied to this toothbrush when it is put away.
  • a support point and a spaced abutment for loading the toothbrush handle on opposite sides is provided on the toothbrush holder, that the support point on the back in an area facing the brush head and the abutment on the inside in an area of the toothbrush handle facing away from the brush head it is provided that the connecting plane of the two loading points is substantially horizontal and that the distance between the two support points is smaller than the distance between the center of gravity of the toothbrush and the rear end of the toothbrush handle.
  • the toothbrush which is held approximately in a horizontal position, is stabilized by the support at its two contact points against the tilting torque of the toothbrush to such an extent that toothpaste can be applied without problems and prevents the toothbrush from twisting even when the bristle field contacts the tube mouth.
  • An embodiment of the toothbrush holder provides that it is part of a toothbrush mug or the like and that the support point through a hole, an edge section or preferably through an upwardly open edge recess and the abutment is formed as a tilt support by a hole on the opposite side, preferably in the area near the edge.
  • the toothbrush With the back of the handle end of the handle, the toothbrush is inserted a short distance into the edge hole and then placed on the back on the opposite edge or the edge recess. The toothbrush is then in a slightly elevated, particularly favorable position for applying toothpaste, which can then be carried out with one hand without any problems. Due to the rounding of the insertion hole on the top side and the rounded edge recess, the shape of the toothbrush at the contact points is adapted to a certain extent and thus an improved position stabilization against twisting or tilting.
  • the toothbrush holder according to the invention can be implemented in a wide variety of embodiments and can also be attached to the objects located in the action area of a user standing at the wash basin, for example on the tap, on the soap holder, on the wash basin and the like, or else be an integral part of such objects.
  • the holder itself can be formed by different parts, each having a support point and an abutment point.
  • the holder can be formed by spaced-apart wire loops, by a tube section, by molded parts and the like, which can be connected to a carrier part via screw, clamp, plug or adhesive connections.
  • Fig.l is a perspective view of a toothbrush mug with toothbrush holder and toothbrush and
  • FIG. 2 shows a side view of a tap outlet mouthpiece with a toothbrush holder attached there.
  • a toothbrush holder 1 shown in FIG. 1 is realized in connection with a toothbrush cup 2 and is formed by a hole 3 in the area of the cup 2 near the upper edge and on the opposite side by an upwardly open edge recess 4.
  • a toothbrush 5 is positioned in the toothbrush holder 1 in such a way that the edge recess 4 forms a support point 6 and the spaced-apart hole 3 on the other side of the cup 2 forms an abutment point 7 with its upper edge region.
  • the abutment point 7 forming the upper edge of the hole 3 and the edge recess 4 are roughly adapted to the shape of the handle back 8 or the inside of the handle 9 and in particular are rounded, so that there is an improved position stabilization against rotation of the toothbrush 5 about its longitudinal axis.
  • the abutment point 7 and the support point 6 can be arranged at correspondingly different heights, so that the toothbrush held has an approximately horizontal position.
  • the toothbrush holder 1 a shown in FIG. 2 is attached on the inside to the outlet mouthpiece 10 of a water tap 11.
  • This toothbrush holder 1 a has two wire loops 12 spaced apart from one another, of which only one can be seen in FIG. From a wire loop 12 leads the outlet mouthpiece 10 in an annular groove 13, the shape-adapted retaining bracket
  • the holding bracket 14 has a wrap angle of, for example, about 270 ° and can be easily placed on the outlet mouthpiece or detached again, in particular for cleaning purposes, by the two wire loops 12 being spaced apart from one another.
  • a spring plate sleeve or the like could also be provided, which can be placed on the mouthpiece by springing open and can also be removed again. Such a cuff is useful when there is no annular groove 13 in the outlet and piece 10.
  • the toothbrush handle With its rear end, the toothbrush handle is located within the rear wire loop 12 and rests with its top on the abutment point 7 of the rear wire loop 12.
  • the front wire loop 12 forms the support point 6 in its lower area.
  • the two wire loops 12 can also be arranged at different heights in order to keep the toothbrush in a horizontal position.
  • the toothbrush holder can also be attached to other points on the tap.
  • insertion holes, grooves or the like can be provided for the connection.
  • Toothbrush holder 1, la or modified embodiments thereof can also be attached to soap holders or soap dishes.
  • the toothbrush holder is expediently located on the upper side, a support point being provided facing the user, while a molded part is provided on the wall side or away from the user for gripping over the rear end of the handle.
  • holes can also be provided in the two spaced-apart side walls of such a soap holder, for example in a horizontal position, for laterally inserting a toothbrush handle and thus also for holding it in an approximately horizontal position.
  • the toothbrush holder is expediently attached to the side or below it.
