Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention can store, store, and clean a pair of upper and lower dentures used by a person who has full dentures reasonably and efficiently during sleep, washing and sterilization, hospitalization, and surgery. The present invention relates to a denture container that is physically safe, secure and hygienic.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, there has been no dedicated denture container for storing / storing / cleaning the pair of upper and lower dentures used by full dentures reasonably and efficiently.

Generally, since there is no dedicated denture container, the dentures removed from the mouth can be placed in a tea bowl, a teacup, a cup, a soap dish, etc. for temporary storage, storage, and cleaning. The current situation is that we are forced to do so.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Dentures vary in size and shape depending on the individual, and it takes a long time to produce them, which is very expensive. For this reason, there are many cases where no spares are prepared, although they are essential daily necessities for eating. Should it be damaged, lost, or dumped, it would impose long-term inconvenience and financial burden. To be honest, dentures are important things that should be treated as valuables. However, it is often the case that a person other than the nurse or family member handles it in a random manner, and accidents such as accidental damage, loss, or dumping occur. The detailed problems will be described below, but the fundamental problem is the special case that makes you realize that you have important dentures at a glance and treats them with great care, such as eyeglass cases and contact lens cases. There was no container before.

[0005] It is very unsanitary to put dentures out of the mouth into a bowl, a teacup, a cup, etc., which are originally tableware for storing food.

Water in containers such as teacups with dentures, drinking teacups, and cups leaks when the container falls or splashes splash, because it contains saliva and other germs in the mouth, which is extremely unsanitary. Is.

The material of the teacup, the teacup, and the cup is a pottery or glass, and if dropped, it is easily broken and dangerous.

The material of the teacup, the teacup, and the cup are seto and glass and have a high surface hardness, and because they are not special containers, they are unstable and may not fit well, and the surface of the denture has numerous fine scratches.

[0009] In the case of a teacup or a teacup, and in the case of a cup, the dentures inside can be seen from the side, which is not good for mental health. Randomly placed dentures in tableware are grotesque enough to be very unclean, unpleasant, and aversive to the viewer. Keeping your dentures in tableware and invisible to the eye can be embarrassing to the person you are using and even worsen your relationships.

[0010] During the washing of the tableware containing the dentures, the dentures taken out of the tableware are randomly placed around the table, so that the dentures are contaminated and the surrounding environment is polluted. Sometimes you may forget to leave your dentures. If you carefully wrap it in paper or put it in a bag, it may be mistaken for garbage and accidentally thrown away by another person or yourself. It can be put in a soap dish and disposed of by someone. Neither is a good idea.

Since the dentures are placed in a container such as a teacup, a teacup, and a cup without distinguishing between the upper teeth and the lower teeth, they may be confused or mistaken when used.

The cleaning and sterilization of the dentures is performed by adding water and adding a cleaning agent to a container such as a teacup, a teacup, or a cup with dentures. Since the action is not evenly distributed, the entire product cannot be completely washed and sterilized, which is extremely unsanitary.

An object of the present invention is to provide a denture container that solves the above problems.

[0014]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 This invention has a lateral space that can store one denture horizontally with a margin and a substantially semi-elliptical shape, and one side of a pair of dentures is horizontally stored in the lower chamber with a margin and another pair of dentures is stored in the upper chamber. There is a vertical space and height that can store one side horizontally, and there is a required number of convex or annular supporting parts at a position approximately in the middle of the inner wall and of a size that does not hinder the insertion and removal of dentures. However, the main body of the plastic container with the upper opening is detachably mounted and fixed on the supporting part to partition the inside of the container body into the lower chamber and the upper chamber. Alternatively, it consists of a mesh plate-shaped plastic partition plate and a cap-shaped plastic lid whose upper surface is a flat surface that removably covers the upper opening of the container body to make it airtight, and at least the container body and the lid. Characteristic that and are opaque It relates to dentures for the container to be.

The present invention has a space and height in the vertical direction that allows the dentures to be housed vertically with a margin, and one of the pair of dentures is housed vertically in the left chamber with a margin and a pair of dentures in the right chamber. A plastic container that has a horizontal space and shape that can accommodate one vertically and has a required number of sandwiching convex or groove-shaped support parts at the left and right opposing positions of the inner wall, and has an upper opening. A water-permeable square frame-shaped or perforated plate-shaped or mesh-plate-shaped plastic partition plate that is detachably mounted between the main body and opposing support parts to partition the inside of the main body into a left chamber and a right chamber. For dentures, which consists of a cap-shaped plastic lid whose upper surface is a flat surface that detachably covers the upper opening of the body to make it airtight, and at least the container body and lid are opaque. About the container It

[0016]

[Action]

 Since the denture container according to the present invention configured as described above is a container for dentures only, it is necessary for a person other than the person such as a nurse or family to understand at a glance that an important denture is contained. You will be able to take care of it.

Since it is a container exclusively for dentures, it is sanitary and can keep tableware such as teacups, teacups, and cups clean.

Since the lid 8 detachably covers the upper opening 5 of the container body 6 to provide airtightness, the water 11 does not splash or spill even if it falls, which is safe and sanitary.

Since the container body 6, the partition plate 7, and the lid 8 that form the denture container are all made of plastic having sufficient strength, they are safe and will not break even if dropped.

The entire denture container is made of plastic and does not have a high hardness, and because it is a dedicated container, it is stable and fits well, so the surface of the denture 1 is not damaged by the container.

At least the container body 6 and the lid 8 are opaque, and the dentures 1 in the container cannot be seen from the outside, which is very good for mental health.

At the time of cleaning the container body 6, the cap-shaped lid 8 can be placed inside out and the dentures 1 from the container body 6 can be placed therein. Since the top surface of the lid 8 is a flat surface, it can be stably placed. If there is a knob on the top surface, make it flat by making the top surface of the knob flat. By putting the denture 1 inside the lid 8, neither denture 1 is soiled nor the surrounding environment is soiled, which is very hygienic. Also, if you leave the denture 1 as it is, you do not accidentally throw away the denture 1.

Since the upper and lower teeth of the denture 1 can be separately stored in the upper chamber 3 and the lower chamber 2 or the left chamber 9 and the right chamber 10, there is no possibility of getting lost or mistaken when used.

The upper and lower teeth of the denture 1 are connected to the upper chamber 3 and the lower chamber 2 or the left chamber 9 and the right chamber 10 with a water-permeable ring-like or square frame-like porous plate-like or mesh plate-like form. Since the cleaning is carried out in the state of being separated and stored by the partition plate 7, the cleaning and sterilizing action of the cleaning agent can be spread uniformly and evenly over the entire denture 1, and can be completely cleaned and sterilized in every corner, which is very hygienic.
