Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical sector of the production of accessories providing greater hygiene in domestic or public rooms.
  • the advantages resulting from the present invention essentially consist of the fact that it's possible to obtain a container where the toothbrushes are placed is such a way that the bristles do not come into contact with the external environment; that the container has a suitably fitted compartment for the housing of a tablet that may fade away homogeneously; that it is easy to be realized and cheap; that it can be manufactured in different sizes for holding brushes of different kind with the same disinfecting effect.
  • a container for toothbrushes and brushes in general comprises: means to hold the toothbrush or brush with the bristles directed downwards, with a cylinder (9) equipped with an opening (11) for the insertion of said object; means to close the container, once the toothbrush or brush is inserted, with another internal cylinder (4) that can rotate inside the first one (9) and has un upper surface (8) that, following the rotation, comes under the opening (11) closing it; means to hold a disinfectant tablet that produces vapours, with a compartment (13) on the base (12) , equipped with a projection (14) and able to contain a tablet (15) that has a notch (16) perfectly fitting into said projection (14); means to allow the vapours produced by the tablet to reach the bristles (2), with a series of holes (6) found on the base of the rotating cylinder (4).
  • the external cylinder (9) has a covering surface (10) on its top, over which there is an opening (11) that allows the toothbrush to enter the container.
  • said covering (10) is connected to the cylinder (9) n such a way that they form a single body.
  • said covering (10) is formed by a lid, separated by the cylinder (9), which can be removed by raising it over the cylinder or by turning it around a hinge placed in a point of its perimeter, or by other suitable means.
  • the cylinder (9) is transparent and permits to see the inside of the container.
  • the inner rotating cylinder (4) has two blunt sides (5, 5A) and an internal perpendicular duct (18) as large as the toothbrush or brush can be held with its own bristles.
  • the cylinder (4) has a series of holes (6) on its base, through which the vapours produced by the tablet reach the bristles.
  • the cylinder (4) has an opening (7) on its upper surface (8), which corresponds to the opening (11) of the cylinder (9), so that, when they are put one under the other, the toothbrush or brush can enter the container.
  • said cylinder (4) can rotate inside the first one (9), so that, by moving the opening (7), it closes the opening (11) and consequently the container.
  • the base (12) has an enlarged support (17) n order to keep the container balanced in a vertical position.
  • the compartment (13) holding the tablet has a projection (14) of any shape that fits into the corresponding notch (16) of the tablet (15), so that the latter doesn't move and fades away homogeneously.
  • the container consists of a base (12), comprising the tablet, over which the rotating cylinder (4) and the external cylinder (9) that are fitted together, are placed.
  • the container may be dismantled and assembled again for the standard cleaning operations.
  • this device is made of forming plastic.
  • the containers may be single or multiple: in the latter case, they are integrated in devices and the external cylinder consists of the cylinder that is found inside a bigger solid. We' re now going to describe the function of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows the exploded view of the invention at issue, with a toothbrush (3) above, equipped with a handle (1) and bristles (2).
  • the rotating device (4) having a cylindrical shape, with two grooves (5, 5A) along its sides and with an internal duct (18) where the bristles of the toothbrush are placed, after being inserted through the opening (7) on the upper surface (8) .
  • the external cylindrical container (9) that has a covering surface (10) on its top, with an opening (11).
  • the base (12) of the invention has an enlarged support (17) and a circular compartment (13) ; on the inner perimeter of said compartment there is a projection (14) that fits perfectly into the notch (16) on the body of the tablet (15) it holds; - Fig. 2 shows the assembled invention, with the toothbrush inserted into it.
  • - Fig. 3 shows the device closed, following the rotation of the handle (1), with the opening (11) closed by the upper surface (8) of the cylinder (4); - Fig. 4 finally shows the top view of the detail of the base
