である。FIG. 1 shows a conventional toothbrush. FIG. 2 shows an interdental brush. FIG. 3, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5 are examples of the present invention. The main point is that a space is provided by dug the shaft portion of the toothbrush so that the interdental brush can be inserted and built therein. The method of storing the interdental brushes will be described because there are differences. FIG. 3 shows a type in which a hole is opened from the end of the shaft and an interdental brush is inserted into and stored in the hole as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows a type in which the shaft is inserted and stored from the side surface of the shaft. In this example, a one-sided lid is provided to prevent escape of the interdental brush, but a slide-type lid may be used. FIG. 5 shows a type in which the holding portion of the interdental brush is inserted from the shaft end of the toothbrush and stored. Fig.-7 is Fig.-
FIG. 8, which is the insertion state when the interdental brush is used in the example of FIG. 3, has been taken out with the interdental brush inserted into the holding portion of the interdental brush used in the example of FIG. The interdental brush can be used in this state. Since the interdental brush can be stored in the toothbrush and carried by the above-described method, it is convenient to avoid forgetting to carry the interdental brush when traveling.
