  The present invention is a shaving set including a shaving brush and its stand, and it is an object to provide a shaving set in which the shaving brush and the stand can be placed in a more compact state as a whole than a conventional shaving set. To do. It is another object of the present invention to provide a shaving set capable of quickly attaching and detaching a shaving brush to and from a stand with a very simple operation without shaving the shaving brush when shaving.

  In the conventional shaving set, in order to support the shaving brush on the stand, the middle part of the handle of the shaving brush is slightly narrowed to form a reduced diameter part, and the reduced diameter part is formed into a pair of arms extending in the horizontal direction from the column of the stand. It is a structure which supports a shaving brush by applying.

Thus, the conventional shaving brush stand requires a support in order to hang the shaving brush, and has a structure in which a pair of arms extend horizontally from the support. Since the shaving brush is hung parallel to the support column at a distance of the maximum radius of the shaving brush even if its central axis is at least from the support column, a large space is required. Furthermore, in some cases, a column is provided in the center of the pedestal of the stand. In this case, if a shaving brush is applied, the center of gravity is removed from the center, so that it is not stable, so a wider pedestal is required. Thus, a large space is required to apply the shaving brush to the conventional stand.

  When the shaving brush is applied to the pair of arms of the stand, the reduced diameter portion of the handle is inserted between the arms while the shaving brush held in the vertical direction is moved in the horizontal direction. Then, the shaving brush is hung on the arm by moving the shaving brush downward. Therefore, in order to support the shaving brush on the stand, the shaving brush must be moved in two directions, ie, the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, so two operations are necessary and troublesome. In addition, when the arm is facing away from the user's body, it is difficult to put the handle of the shaving brush between the arms, so it is inconvenient to check the direction of the arm when placing the stand. . In addition, when the user is right-handed, it is very difficult to use the arm if it is facing leftward, so the arm must face frontward or rightward. Especially, it is best when facing the right direction, but for this purpose, a space for moving the shaving brush in the horizontal direction is required on the right side, and the use place is limited because it cannot be used near the wall. Left-handed users need space on the left side.

  In addition, the stand that is mounted and supported on the stand with the conventional toothbrush standing upright supports the rear end of the standing toothbrush at the bottom of the stand, and has a hole for preventing the standing toothbrush from overturning. The toothbrush handle was inserted through the hole. When the stand having such a structure is used, the handle of the shaving brush is shorter than the handle of the toothbrush, and the bristle portion is heavy. Therefore, even if the handle is inserted into the hole, the shaving brush handle becomes unstable. Moreover, it is difficult to use because the handle is hidden in the hole. For this reason, the stand having the structure as in Patent Document 1 cannot be used for the shaving brush.

  Therefore, the present invention is intended to provide a shaving set in which a shaving brush and a stand can be placed in a more compact state as compared with a conventional shaving set. Further, the present invention is intended to provide a shaving set that can attach and detach the shaving brush to and from the stand quickly without taking time and effort with a very simple operation when shaving. Furthermore, the present invention is intended to provide a shaving set that does not select the position of the stand or the orientation of the stand with respect to the user during use.

Claim 1 of the present invention is a shaving set including a shaving brush and a stand for the shaving brush, wherein the shaving brush has a bristle at one end, and the shaving brush is moved only in one direction downward from the top of the stand. Thus, the shaving brush is supported by the stand, and the shaving brush is removed from the stand by moving the shaving brush only in one upward direction from the attached state.

In a second aspect of the present invention, an element for supporting the shaving brush on the stand in a state in which the bristles face downward is added to the first aspect.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a shaving cream passage penetrating the shaving brush so that the shaving brush can receive the supply of the shaving cream from an outlet of the aerosol container containing the shaving cream. The element used as a means for mounting and supporting on the stand is a structure added to claim 1 or claim 2.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the stand has a pedestal and a support column extending upward from the pedestal, and the passage provided in the shaving brush has an inner diameter into which the support column can be inserted. is there.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the shaving set has a shaving brush cover that can be mounted on the aerosol container in addition to the shaving brush and the stand, and the cover is formed in a cylindrical shape having both ends opened, An element is added to claim 4, the edge of which is formed to be attachable to the upper end of the peripheral surface of a predetermined aerosol container, and the other opening is formed so as to support the base of the stand with the stand turned upside down. It is a configuration.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the shaving brush has a bristle at one end, and the shaving brush is supported by the stand by moving the shaving brush only in one direction from the top to the bottom. Means are provided for removing the shaving brush from the stand by moving it only in the direction. Therefore, the shaving brush is supported only by moving in one direction downward from the top of the stand, and can be removed only by moving in one upper direction. Therefore, the shaving brush is moved horizontally in each direction. It is unnecessary and can be attached and detached quickly and without any trouble by an extremely simple operation. In addition, the fact that the shaving brush can be attached to and detached from the stand by moving the shaving brush only in one vertical direction is inevitably provided with an arm like a conventional stand that requires horizontal movement of the shaving brush. No support is required. Thus, according to the present invention, the center of gravity does not deviate much from the center when the shaving brush is attached to the stand, so that the stand base can be made smaller than in the prior art, so that no space is taken up. Moreover, the state in which the stand supports the shaving brush can be made compact. Moreover, since an arm is unnecessary, an arm does not get in the way.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the shaving brush is supported by the stand with the bristle facing downward. Therefore, since the handle of the shaving brush supported by the stand faces upward, it is easy to grasp the handle, and the shaving brush can be quickly lifted from the stand.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a shaving cream passage penetrating the shaving brush so that the shaving brush can receive the supply of the shaving cream from an outlet of the aerosol container containing the shaving cream. Used as a means for mounting and supporting on a stand. Since the passage is used as a means for mounting and supporting the shaving brush on the stand, it is not necessary to provide a special support means, and the cost can be reduced.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the stand includes a pedestal and a support column extending upward from the pedestal, and the passage provided in the shaving brush has an inner diameter into which the support column can be inserted. Therefore, the shaving brush can be easily attached to and detached from the stand by inserting or withdrawing the stand column from the passage of the shaving brush. Further, the shaving brush is stably supported by inserting the support column of the stand into the passage of the shaving brush.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the shaving set has a shaving brush cover that can be mounted on the aerosol container in addition to the shaving brush and the stand, and the cover is formed in a cylindrical shape having both ends opened, The edge is formed so as to be attachable to the upper end of the peripheral surface of a predetermined aerosol container, and the other opening is formed so as to support the pedestal of the stand with the stand turned upside down. Therefore, when storing the shaving set including the aerosol container, attach the cover on the aerosol container, attach the shaving brush in it, and attach the stand in the opposite direction from the top of the cover to make the whole compact. Can do.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 3 is a front view of the shaving brush 1, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA. The shaving brush 1 has a structure in which a bristle 3 is implanted in a handle 2. The handle 2 and the bristle 3 are made of synthetic resin, but other materials may be used. The middle of the handle 2 is thin and easy to pick with a fingertip. The length of the handle 2 is about 38 mm, the diameter of the base end 4 of the handle 2 is about 30 mm, and the diameter of the rear end 5 of the handle 2 is about 32 mm. The length of the bristle 3 protruding from the handle 2 is about 25 mm. However, the present invention is not limited to these numerical values. The bristle 3 extends linearly from the base end 4 of the handle 2 in the axial direction. Accordingly, the bristle 3 does not protrude beyond the outer periphery of the base end 4.

  A shaving cream passage 6 is provided from the center of the base end 4 of the handle 2 toward the rear end 5. Therefore, the bristle 3 is not entirely planted at the base end 4 of the handle 2, and the opening of the passage 6 exists in the center. The passage 6 is formed so as to gradually become narrower as it approaches the rear end 5. The innermost part of the passage 6 is formed in a concave curved surface. The length of the passage 6 is about 30 mm, and the inner diameter of the base end 4 portion is about 10 mm. However, the present invention is not limited to these numerical values. In addition, a concave nozzle receiving portion 9 for receiving the nozzle 8 of the aerosol container 7 is provided at the center of the rear end 5 of the handle 2. The passage 6 and the nozzle receiving portion 9 communicate with each other.

Since the shaving cream spouted from the nozzle 8 outlet of the aerosol container 7 during use flows out from the nozzle receiving portion 9 into the passage 6 vigorously, a resistance portion that provides resistance to the flow of the shaving cream is provided to weaken this momentum. It is preferable. For this purpose, a bridge 10 is bridged in the diameter direction between the passage 6 and the nozzle receiving portion 9. It can be seen that the shaving cream is resisted by the bridge 10 as shown in FIG. However, it is needless to say that the resistance portion in the present invention is not limited to this structure. Further, it is not necessary to have a resistance portion like the bridge 10. When the bridge 10 is stretched in the diameter direction, the shaving cream spreads in the passage 6 by hitting the bridge 10, and the shaving cream flows out uniformly from the exit of the passage 6 to the tip of the bristle 3. The diameter of the nozzle receiving portion 9 described above is about 5 mm, but is not limited to this value. The length of the bridge 10 is about 3 mm and the width is about 1 mm. The reason why the length of the bridge 10 is shorter than the diameter of the nozzle receiving portion 9 is that the tip of the nozzle 8 of the aerosol container 7 hits the bridge 10 by reducing the inner diameter of the portion 11 near the bridge 10 of the nozzle receiving portion 9. It is for preventing. In addition, the handle 2 is provided with a hollow portion 12 to reduce the weight.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the stand 13 is provided with a support column 14 extending in the vertical direction at the center of a circular base 15. The support column 14 is not limited to the center of the pedestal 15 but may be in a range that meets the spirit of the present invention. Moreover, the support | pillar 14 does not need to extend in the perpendicular direction and may incline in the range which can maintain stability. Furthermore, a peripheral wall 17 is provided slightly closer to the center than the outer periphery 16 of the base 15. The height from the outer surface of the pedestal 15 of the stand 13 to the top of the column 14 is about 63 mm, and the diameter of the stand 13 is about 50 mm, but is not limited to these values. The stand 13 is integrally formed of synthetic resin, but may be other materials. Further, instead of integral molding, a structure in which the support column 14 and the like are formed separately and coupled may be used. The cross section of the upper portion 18, which is about one third from the apex of the support column 14, is formed in a cross shape, and the lower cross section of the lower portion 19 is circular with a hollow inside.

  The passage 6 of the shaving brush 1 is also a portion into which the support column 14 of the stand 13 is inserted when the shaving brush 1 is attached to the stand 13. In the present invention, a means for preventing the insertion of the column 14 in the middle of the passage 6 when the column 14 is inserted is provided. As this means, the innermost part of the passage 6 was formed in a concave curved surface. However, the present invention is not limited to this structure. As described above, the shaving brush 1 is provided with the cavity 12. Therefore, it is possible to support the shaving brush 1 with the support 14 inserted into the cavity 12 and the bristle 3 facing upward. However, as a matter of course, the hollow portion 12 may not be provided.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the cover 20 is formed in the shape of a truncated cone. Both ends are opened by openings 21 and 22. Four protrusions 23, 23, 23, 23 are provided on the inner surface of the opening 21. This is for attaching the cover 20 to the upper surface of the aerosol container 7 by engaging the projections 23, 23, 23, 23 with the base 24 of the aerosol container 7 as shown in FIG. 2. Further, two recesses 25, 25 are provided at the edge of the opening 22. This is for improving the ventilation when the stand 13 is inverted and mounted on the cover 20 as shown in FIG. The cover 20 is integrally formed of a transparent synthetic resin. However, a material other than the synthetic resin may be used, and it may be opaque or translucent in addition to being transparent. The total length of the cover 20 is about 90 mm, the outer diameter of one opening 21 is about 54 mm, and the outer diameter of the other opening 22 is about 47 mm. However, the present invention is not limited to these numerical values.

  When storing the shaving brush 1, the stand 13, the aerosol container 7, and the cover 20, first, the nozzle receiving portion 9 of the shaving brush 1 is applied to the nozzle 8 of the aerosol container 7, as shown in FIG. Next, the protrusion 20 of the cover 20 is engaged with the base 24 of the aerosol container 7 to attach the cover 20 to the aerosol container 7. Next, the stand 13 is turned upside down and the support column 14 is inserted into the passage 6 of the shaving brush 1. At that time, the base 15 of the stand 13 hits the edge of the opening 22 of the cover 20 before the tip of the column 14 hits the bridge 10 provided at the innermost side of the passage 6, and the stand 13 is supported at that position. Therefore, there is no possibility that the bridge 10 does not hit the tip end of the support column 14 and is damaged. Moreover, the nozzle 8 is not pushed by the external force, and the shaving cream is not ejected unexpectedly. This state is a storage state. In this state, the overall height is slightly higher than that of the aerosol container 7, but since the space occupying the plane is the same as that of the aerosol container 7, it can be stored in a compact state. In addition, when there is no cover 20, it stores by another method. For example, the shaving brush 1 is turned upside down and attached to the stand 13 as shown in FIG. Moreover, when selling these sets in a packaging container, you may store the instruction manual 26 shown in FIG. In the instruction manual 26, circular paper pieces having holes 27 are connected in a bellows shape, and when folded, the rear end 5 of the shaving brush 1 and the aerosol container 7 are passed through the nozzles 8 through the holes 27 in the state shown in FIG. Between the upper ends 28 of the two. When the instruction manual 26 is sandwiched, the shaving cream is not ejected from the nozzle 8 even if the shaving brush 1 is pressed. When the instruction manual 26 is removed, the shaving brush 1 and the aerosol container 7 can be used.

  When the shaving brush 1 is used from the storage state shown in FIG. 1, first, the stand 13 is held in a hand and the pedestal 15 is placed on a washstand or the like. The stand 13 can be stabilized by attaching a suction cup or a double-sided tape to the surface of the base 15 of the stand 13. Next, the cover 20 is removed from the aerosol container 7. After removing the cover 20, the shaving brush 1 is grasped with a finger and pressed as it is. By this operation, the shaving cream is ejected from the ejection port of the nozzle 8 through the passage 6 and uniformly flows out to the tip of the bristles 3. Then, the shaving cream that has flowed into the bristle 3 is applied to the face and the like. When the painting is finished, the shaving brush 1 is mounted on the stand 13 again. Repeat this action twice, three times or more when shaving. When the washstand is wide and has enough space, if the rear end 5 of the shaving brush 1 is made flat as in the present embodiment, the rear end 5 of the washstand is placed down without using the stand 13. Can be placed directly. However, the present invention is not limited to the rear end 5 being a plane. After the shaving is completed, the shaving brush 1 and, if necessary, the stand 13 are washed. The aerosol container 7 emptied by use can be replaced with a new one, and the shaving set can be used continuously.

When the shaving brush 1 is mounted on the stand 13, the bristle 3 side opening of the passage 6 of the shaving brush 1 is opposed to the tip of the column 14 of the stand 13, and when the shaving brush 1 is lowered as it is, the column 14 is placed in the channel 6. The shaving brush 1 can be attached to the stand 13 by being inserted. Therefore, the shaving brush 1 can be attached to the stand 13 with a very simple operation. Further, when the shaving brush 1 is taken out from the stand 13, the shaving brush 1 can be taken out from the stand 13 by a very simple operation because the shaving brush 1 can be held by hand and lifted up as it is. When the shaving brush 1 is attached to the stand 13 or removed from the stand 13, it is not necessary to move the shaving brush 1 in the horizontal direction so that it can be quickly attached and detached. In addition, in a state where the shaving brush 1 is mounted on the stand 13, since the column 14 of the stand 13 and the passage 6 of the shaving brush 1 into which the shaving brush 1 is inserted are coaxial, the stability is high. There is an effect that 15 does not need to be wide and does not take up space. Since the pedestal 15 of the stand 13 is provided with the peripheral wall 17, it is possible to receive shaving cream or water that hangs down from the bristle 3 when the shaving brush 1 is mounted with the bristle 3 facing downward.
