However, in the former case in the prior art, a hole is formed in the handle end of the toothbrush to make the toothbrush reversely hung, and this hole is fitted to a hook of a hanger. Because it was mounted in a reverse-hanging manner, it was not only extremely unsanitary because scale dust and rust on the hooks adhered to the inner surface of the hole, and the same dirt as the hole occurred on the hook itself. There were problems such as being troublesome. In the case of the latter, the toothbrush must travel along the handle and hang down, because it is hooked on the neck of the handle of the toothbrush, and this will gradually accumulate in the case and must be cleaned periodically. And the toothbrush portion comes into contact with the hooking portion of the holder, which is extremely unsanitary.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems. According to the first aspect of the present invention, an object to be magnetized is provided on a hanger main body with a toothbrush inverted suspension portion. The magnet provided at the end of the toothbrush handle is magnetically attached to attach the toothbrush to a reverse suspension.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the magnetized body of the toothbrush reverse suspension portion is a magnet, and the magnet at the end of the toothbrush handle is a magnetized body.

Further, according to the invention of claim 3, the magnet or the magnetic body at the end of the toothbrush handle is formed as a detachable holder.

1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a side view and FIG.
Is a front view, FIG. 3 is a bottom view, and FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing an example of a holder.

1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a hanger main body, and a toothbrush reverse suspension portion 2 has a magnetically adhered body 3 such as, for example, an iron plate on the surface thereof, or has a whole coated form. Although attached, the magnetic body 3 is not limited to an iron plate, and may be made of any material as long as it can magnetize a magnet. Further, the form of the hanger body 1 is not limited to the illustrated one, and any form can be used as long as the handle 5 of the toothbrush 4 can be suspended in a reverse suspension manner.
Any form may be used. Reference numeral 6 denotes a holder detachably attached to the handle end 5a of the toothbrush 4, which is provided with a magnet as shown in FIG.
May be used as the magnetic body 3, and the fastening means for the handle end 5a may be either a fitting type or a screw type. The hanger body 1 is a pedestal 1a.
, But is not limited to this mode.

Next, the operation of the toothbrush hanger according to the present invention will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3,
When the toothbrush 4 is used, the magnet 7 of the holder 6 attached to the handle end 5a of the toothbrush 4 is magnetically attached to the magnetized body 3 of the reverse hanging portion 2 of the hanger body 1 so that the toothbrush 4 can be used.
Can be attached and held in a reverse hanging manner.

In this case, toothpaste or water drops naturally fall from the tip of the toothbrush 4, and the toothbrush 4 can be kept clean and extremely sanitary. In use, the holder 6 of the toothbrush 4 can be easily removed from the magnetized body 3 of the hanger body 1 and the toothbrush 4 can be used.

[0011]

According to the present invention, an object to be magnetized is provided at the toothbrush reverse suspension portion of the hanger body, and a magnet provided at the end of the toothbrush handle is magnetically attached to the object to be magnetized. Since the toothbrush is mounted in a reverse hanging manner, the hole in the hole is made in comparison with the conventional method in which a hole is formed in the end of the handle and this hole is fitted to the hook of the hanger and mounted in a reverse hanging manner. It is possible to wipe off all the drawbacks, such as discoloration, dust, and rust of the hook itself, resulting in unsanitary conditions and the trouble of removing it. This has the effect of eliminating the hassle of having to periodically clean the toothpaste that has accumulated and dripped.

Further, in the present invention, the magnetized object of the toothbrush reverse suspension portion is a magnet and the magnet at the end of the toothbrush handle is a magnetized object. The selection of the magnetic body can be freely adopted depending on the use conditions, and there is an effect that the production can be easily performed.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the magnet at the end of the toothbrush handle or the magnetic body is a detachable holder, it is extremely clean and sanitary as compared with conventional products. In addition, the holder can be caught by a finger and can be used accurately without sliding the toothbrush and without damaging the teeth or gums, and it can be used for a long time by replacing the holder freely effective.
