Description

  The present invention relates to a toothpick, particularly an assembly-type toothpick that is convenient to carry.

  Conventionally, toothpick has been widely used to remove a meal clogged between teeth after a meal or to pick up a little food such as fruit or candy.

  However, such a toothpick is pointed at one end, so that if it is carried as it is, there is a possibility that the tip of the toothpick is stuck somewhere, and the surface to be used becomes dirty, which is unsanitary.

  In addition, tens or hundreds of toothpick are usually bundled and sold in a case, but it is inconvenient to carry a toothpick in a case for carrying a single toothpick.

  Furthermore, the toothpick is usually thrown away after being used once, but a toothpick that can be used repeatedly is preferable if possible in order to minimize waste of forest resources.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and is (a) convenient to carry, (b) hygienic, (c) reusable, and (d) An object is to provide a recyclable assembly toothpick.

In order to solve the above problems, the assembly-type toothpick of the present invention has a cylindrical base portion having an opening at least at one end and an engaged portion provided in the vicinity of the opening,
A sharp rod-shaped body having a sharp head having at least one sharp end and a base having a non-sharp end at the other end and having a smaller diameter than the cylindrical base portion and an engaging portion at an appropriate position on the peripheral surface thereof When,
Consists of
At the time of use, the engaging portion is engaged with the engaged portion so that the sharp head faces upward, and the base portion is accommodated in the cylindrical base portion,
At the time of storage, the engaging portion is engaged with the engaged portion so that the base portion faces upward, and the sharp head is stored in the cylindrical base portion so that it can be carried. It is characterized by.

  With this configuration, the pointed rod-like body can be attached to and detached from the cylindrical base portion, and therefore the engaging portion is engaged with the engaged portion so that the sharp head faces upward when in use. The base is accommodated in the cylindrical base portion and is engaged with the portion, so that it is possible to remove a bite between teeth and the like with the sharp head, and the base faces upward when stored. As described above, the engaging portion is engaged with the engaged portion and the sharp head is stored in the cylindrical base portion, so that it can be safely carried.

  In addition, the surface used to remove food residue etc. is very hygienic because it does not get dirty when carried.

  Furthermore, by using a durable material such as plastic, it can be used repeatedly.

  In addition, if it is made of a recyclable thermoplastic material such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), ABS resin, polystyrene (PS), etc., the assembled toothpick of the present invention once discarded can be recycled and used. This is advantageous because it helps environmental resources.

  According to the assembly-type toothpick of the present invention, (b) it is convenient to carry, (b) it is hygienic, (c) it can be used repeatedly, and (ii) it is recyclable. Play.

  Hereinafter, although an example of the assembly-type toothpick of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it goes without saying that various changes or modifications can be made to these embodiments without departing from the technical idea of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory perspective view showing a stowed state of an assembly-type toothpick of the present invention, in which (a) is a perspective view showing a point where a sharp head of a sharp rod-like body is housed in a cylindrical base part, and (b) is a perspective view. The perspective view which shows the state which accommodated the sharp head of the pointed rod-shaped body in the cylindrical base | substrate part, FIG. 2 is a perspective explanatory drawing which shows the use condition of the assembly-type toothpick of this invention, (a) is a pointed rod-shaped body. The perspective view which shows the place which accommodates a base in a cylindrical base | substrate part, (b) is a perspective view which shows the state which accommodated the base of the pointed rod-shaped body in the cylindrical base | substrate part.

  In FIG. 1, the assembly-type toothpick 10 of the present invention has a cylindrical base portion 16 having an opening 12 at least at one end and an engaged portion 14 provided in the vicinity of the opening 12, and at least one end. A sharp bar 18 having a sharp head 18 having a sharp point and a base 20 having a non-sharp end at the other end and having a smaller diameter than the cylindrical base 16 and an engaging part 22 at an appropriate position on the peripheral surface thereof. And a body 24.

  The storage state of the assembly-type toothpick 10 will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings 1. At the time of storage, as shown in (a), the engaging portion 22 is engaged with the engaged portion 14 of the cylindrical base portion 16 so that the base portion 20 of the pointed rod-shaped body 24 faces upward, as shown in (b). Thus, the sharp head 18 is accommodated in the cylindrical base portion 16. In this way, it can be carried in the state of (b).

  If it is housed and carried in this way, the sharp head 18 is housed in the cylindrical base portion 16, so that there is no risk that the tip will be stuck somewhere. Further, there is no possibility that the peripheral surface of the sharp head 18 becomes dirty and unsanitary.

  Next, the use state of the assembly-type toothpick 10 will be described with reference to the attached drawing 2. At the time of use, as shown in (a), the engaging portion 22 is engaged with the engaged portion 14 of the cylindrical base portion 16 so that the sharp head 18 faces upward, and as shown in (b), the base portion 20 is accommodated in the cylindrical base portion 16. In this manner, it is possible to remove a meal between teeth with the sharp head 18 in the state of (b).

  Moreover, since the assembly-type toothpick 10 of the present invention is made of a plastic that is a durable material, it can be used repeatedly.

  Examples of the plastic material applicable to the assembly-type toothpick 10 of the present invention include thermoplastic plastic materials such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), ABS resin, and polystyrene (PS). It goes without saying that other plastic materials can be used as long as they are recyclable plastic materials.

  In the illustrated example, the base 20 is illustrated as being flat, but it is needless to say that various shapes other than the illustrated example can be applied. In the illustrated example, only one end of the cylindrical base portion 16 is used as the opening 12 and the other end is used as the closing portion. It is more preferable that one end of the cylindrical base portion 16 is an opening and the other end is a closed portion because dust and the like can be prevented from entering from the opening portion. However, both ends of the cylindrical base portion 16 are openings. A configuration can also be adopted.

It is perspective explanatory drawing which shows the accommodation state of the assembly-type toothpick of this invention, Comprising: (a) is a perspective view which shows the place which accommodates the sharp head of a sharp rod-shaped body in a cylindrical base | substrate part, (b) is a sharp rod-shaped body It is a perspective view which shows the state which accommodated the sharp head of this in the cylindrical base | substrate part. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an explanatory perspective view showing a use state of an assembly-type toothpick of the present invention, wherein (a) is a perspective view showing a base portion of a sharp rod-like body housed in a cylindrical base portion, and (b) is a base portion of the sharp stick-like body. It is a perspective view which shows the state which accommodated in the cylindrical base | substrate part.
