JP 2002-165813 A

However, when standing a toothbrush on a toothbrush stand, the number of toothbrushes that can be stood is at most 5-6, and when raising more than that, prepare another toothbrush stand and secure a place to place it. However, there was a problem that it took time. In addition, when standing on a cup, the toothbrush tends to be inclined and become unstable, so there is a risk that the cup will be turned over with the toothbrush, or when using the cup for gargle, etc. There was a problem that it took time to find the place.
On the other hand, when placing an interdental brush on a toothbrush stand or cup, the interdental brush is generally thin and short, so it is difficult to remove from the toothbrush stand or cup, or when standing on a toothbrush stand with a lot of space or gaps, There was a problem that it was easy to drop out of the gap. Further, when storing in a holder dedicated to the interdental brush, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-165813, “a plate fixed to a wall surface or the like using an attaching means such as an adhesive tape or a hook; There is a problem that the arrangement layout cannot be easily changed once the holder is fixed at an arbitrary place.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the accessory case according to claim 1 is a container in which a bottom portion is formed below a cylindrical portion and an opening portion is formed above. In addition, a clip including a spring member, a pressing portion, and a receiving portion is arranged on the side surface of the container, and the space in which the inner shape of the opening portion of the cylindrical portion extends upward and the clip do not interfere with each other The accessory case according to the second aspect of the present invention is the accessory case according to the first aspect, wherein the container case and the clip are connected to each other, and the container and the clip are detachable. The accessory case according to the third aspect of the invention is characterized in that in the accessory case according to the first aspect, a protruding portion is formed in the holding portion or the receiving portion, and the protruding portion is used as a container. And

  According to the present invention, when more toothbrushes are erected, the necessary number of accessory cases need only be clipped in an appropriate place, so that it is possible to save time and effort for securing the place to be placed. Moreover, when standing a toothbrush on a cup, the effect that it can stand stably is acquired. Also, when using a cup for gargle etc., it is only necessary to keep the toothbrush that is not used at that time in the pocket of the clothes with a clip with the accessory case. The effect of not taking is obtained. In addition, even a thin and short handle such as an interdental brush can be easily taken out, and an effect of not falling off from a space portion or a gap can be obtained. Further, it is possible to easily change the arrangement layout.

  Embodiments according to claims 1 to 3 of the present invention will be described below in Examples 1 to 3, respectively.

  1 to 5 show a first embodiment of the present invention. The container 1 has a cylindrical portion 2 that can accommodate small items such as a toothbrush, a bottom portion 3 is formed below, and an opening portion 4 is formed above. Further, a clip 5 is disposed on the side surface of the container 1, and the clip 5 is provided with a pressing portion 7 that is disposed so as to be rotatable about a support portion 6 that extends from the side surface portion of the container 1, and The receiving object 8 located on the side surface of the container 1 can hold the object to be clamped by using the elastic force of the spring member 9, and as shown in FIG. The interdental brush 11 and the like can be housed and held in the shape portion 10. Further, it can be held with respect to the cup. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the toothbrush 12 and the like can be stored and held in the clothes pocket. In addition, since it arrange | positions so that the space which extended the inner side shape of the opening part 4 and the clip may not interfere, when a toothbrush or an interdental brush is stood in the container 1, it will prevent contacting a clip as much as possible. In addition, it does not become difficult to put in and out. In addition, an elastic member 13 is attached to the pressing portion 7, and even when pinching and non-holding are repeated or when the object to be held is difficult to hold, it can be held firmly with little wobble. Yes. In addition, you may form the protrusion 15 in the receiving part 8 like FIG. 5 so that it can clamp firmly, without using the elastic member 13. FIG. In short, at least one of the pressing portion 7 and the receiving portion 8 may be provided with means for reducing wobble. In addition, a window hole 14 may be formed in the vicinity of the bottom portion 3 so that dust does not collect easily, or a partition portion 16 may be provided so that a plurality of pieces can be easily collected.

  6 to 8 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the container 1 and the clip 5 are configured as separate bodies. On the side surface of the container 1, a flange portion 19 including a shaft portion 17 and a head portion 18 is formed, and a climbing mountain 20 is formed around the root of the flange portion 19. Further, the insertion hole 23 in which the elongated hole portion 21 slightly larger than the shape of the head portion 18 and the round hole portion 22 having an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the shaft portion 17 are connected to the receiving portion 8 of the clip 5. A climbing mountain 24 is formed around the round hole portion 22. The container 1 and the clip 5 are connected by the flange portion 19 and the insertion hole 23 to be usable. In order to connect the container 1 and the clip 5, the head portion 18 is inserted into the long hole portion 21, and the shaft portion 17 fitted in the long hole portion 21 is slid into the round hole portion 22. The shaft portion 17 can be used at a position where it reaches the round hole portion 22. At this time, the container 1 is rotated around the shaft portion 17 with respect to the clip 5 and stopped at a position where the climbing mountain 20 and the climbing mountain 24 have passed over each other, and the container 1 and the clip 5 are set at an arbitrary angle and used. It is also possible (FIG. 7). In addition, you may set suitably the space | interval and shape of each of the overpass mountain 20 and the overpass mountain 24 so that connection shakiness may be suppressed as much as possible. Further, a portion slightly narrower than the outer diameter of the shaft portion 17 is formed at the connection portion between the long hole portion 21 and the round hole portion 22, and the shaft portion 17 fitted into the round hole portion 22 is subjected to a certain force. Otherwise, it may be set so as not to return to the long hole portion 21. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the setting angle between the container 1 and the clip 5 may be set three-dimensionally by making the head 18 spherical and using a head receiver 25 for connection with the head 18. According to this embodiment, the container 1 and the clip 5 can be used even when storing different lengths such as toothbrushes or interdental brushes, or when the shape of the object to be attached such as the fence-like portion 10 or the cup installed on the sink is different. By setting a plurality of types, it is possible for the user to use them in appropriate combinations, and to disassemble them as necessary and use them in different combinations.

  9 to 11 show a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a part of the clip 5 is deformed to form the container 1. The holding part 7 and the receiving part 8 are connected to each other by a spring member 9 to form a clip 5. The receiving part 8 is formed so that overhang parts 26 are formed at three locations, and the bottom overhang part has the bottom part 3. The container 1 is constituted by the receiving portion 8 and the overhang portion 26. According to this embodiment, not only can the number of parts be minimized, but also a simple mold structure can be obtained when the receiving portion 8 is formed by injection molding. Moreover, the overhang | projection part 26 may be formed in the both sides of the holding | suppressing part 7 and the receiving part 8, and it also becomes possible to set easily as a several storage location on one side like FIG. The number and shape of the overhang portions 26 may be determined as appropriate.
