例えば、図2(b)に示すように、柱状回転体5を支軸5aを中心に回転させて、柱状回転体5の側面に対して45度の角度にある斜面5aを、柱状体4の側面に対して45度の角度にある斜面4aに重ね合わせることにより、柱状回転体5を、柱状体4の長手方向に対して45度の姿勢にすることができる。
【0020】
このように本発明の歯間ブラシホルダーは、その柱状回転体5を回転させることにより歯間ブラシ1の向きを、使い易い適宜な角度に調整して使用することができ、例えばホルダー部分(B又はB及びC)を手で縦方向に持ちながら、歯間ブラシ1を略水平方向にして口腔内に挿入し、楽な姿勢で歯間の清掃を行うことができる。
【0021】
【発明の効果】
本発明の歯間ブラシホルダーは、歯間ブラシ部分を交換する際には、ヘッド部をホルダー部Bより取り外すことにより容易に交換することができ、また本発明の歯間ブラシホルダーは、取り付け取り外し可能なヘッド部付きホルダー部とホルダーキャップ部から構成されているので、使用する際には、ホルダー部とホルダーキャップ部とを嵌合接続することにより、ブラシの柄を長く使い易くすることができ、また旅行カバンなどに入れて携帯するような場合には、ヘッド部付きホルダー部とホルダーキャップ部とを切り離して、ヘッド部付きホルダー部をホルダーキャップ部内に収納することができ、コンパクトに携帯できなる効果がある。
