Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a portable denture container that allows dentures to be washed hygienically.

Traditionally, people held dentures in one hand and poured water over them while washing them with the other hand, or held a toothbrush in the other hand and used the toothbrush to clean the dentures. In any case, cleaning dentures is extremely troublesome for elderly people who often use dentures.
Also, dentures are not always used immediately after being washed, and are sometimes kept somewhere until they are eaten, in which case the washed dentures are wrapped in paper or a handkerchief.

Therefore, this invention was devised to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks by devising a denture container in which dentures can be placed and which can also be washed.

Next, the structure of the denture container of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. 1 is a container body made of synthetic resin, and the container body 1 houses one denture 6 forming a horseshoe shape, or a pair of dentures 6,
6' can be inserted in a staggered manner.
2 is a denture support part provided inside the bottom wall 11 of the container main body, and the support part 2 has an insertion hole 21 for the water-soluble solid material 7;
It consists of numerous protrusions 22 that protrude higher than the thickness T of the solid material 7 on the outside thereof. The denture support part 2 may be integrally molded on the bottom wall 11 of the main body, or the denture support part 2 may be formed separately and the denture support part 2 may be inserted and placed on the upper part of the bottom wall 11 of the main body. 2 is integrally molded on the main body bottom wall 11, the insertion hole 21 of the support part 2 is formed in the center of the bottom wall 11, and the protrusion 22 of the support part 2 is formed in the bottom outside of the insertion hole 21. It is installed protruding from the wall 11. In addition, in the case of the denture support part 2 formed separately from the container body 1, an insertion hole 21 is bored in the center of the support part 2, and an upward protrusion 22 or a protrusion 22 protruding upward and downward is provided on the outer periphery. will be established. The protrusions 22 protrude irregularly on any of the support parts 2, and are formed in a conical shape such that the upper end becomes smaller, and the height from the lower end of the support part 2 to the upper end of the protrusion 22 is as follows. It is formed to be higher than the thickness T of the solid material 7. Reference numeral 3 denotes a lid made of synthetic resin that is pivotally supported on the upper part of one wall of the container main body peripheral wall 12 so as to be freely openable and closable. At this time, a locking pawl 31 is formed to lock onto a stepped portion 13 provided on the front peripheral wall 12 of the main body 1. 5 is a watertight gasket fitted to either the lower edge of the lid 3 or the upper edge of the main body peripheral wall 12; 7 is a water-soluble solid substance inserted into the insertion hole 21 of the denture support part 2; It contains gas-generating substances, disinfectants, enzymes for removing dirt, enzymes for decomposing food particles, etc.

Since the denture container of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, in order to clean the dentures 6 using this container, first open the lid 3 and insert the water-soluble solid 7 into the insertion hole 21 of the support part 2 from above the container body 1. Next, place the denture 6 on the protrusion 22, and keep the container body 1 until the denture 6 is submerged in water.
Water is poured into the container, and the lid 3 is kept closed until at least the solid material 7 is completely dissolved.

Note that the procedures for placing the denture 6, inserting the solid object 7, and pouring water into the container body 1 may be performed before or after the procedure.

Since the solid substance 7 inserted into the insertion hole 21 is water-soluble, it will dissolve as time passes, and as the solid substance 7 dissolves, the gas, disinfectant, enzyme, etc. sealed in the solid substance 7 will be released into the water. The denture 6 placed on the upper part of the protrusion 22 is caused by the gas, enzymes, etc. that leaked into the water.
is washed. The gas ejected from the solid material 7 is bubbles G.
The bubbles G that rise continuously from this solid substance 7 cause convection, or the bubbles G collide with the dentures 6 and burst, promoting the cleaning of the dentures 6. do.

After the solid substance 7 inserted into the insertion hole 21 of the support part 2 is completely dissolved by the water put into the main body 1, the locking claw of the lid 3 that is locked to the peripheral wall stepped part 13 of the container main body 1 3
1 with your fingers, and remove the lid 3 that was blocking the container body 1.
to open. The unlocked lid 3 is attached to the spring 4
Since it is pushed in the opening direction by the elasticity of the button, it opens automatically. The cleaned denture 6 is taken out from the water in the container main body 1 with the lid 3 open, and the denture 6 is washed once with water and worn. If the cleaned dentures 6 are not to be used immediately, wrap the dentures 6 in a soft cloth or resin cloth P, etc., place them in the container body 1 from which water has been drained, and store them with the lid 3 closed, or store them with the lid 3 closed. It is something to carry around.

Therefore, with the proposed denture container, if you put the removed dentures and a water-soluble solid into the container body, fill it with water until the dentures are submerged in water, and close the lid, the dentures will be automatically removed until the next time the dentures are used. Washed properly. the result,
Dentures can be cleaned hygienically without the hassle of washing them with fingers or with a brush. Moreover, its handling is
Put the water-soluble solids into the insertion hole of the container body support part,
Since the user simply places the dentures on the upper part of the protrusion of the support part, fills the body with water, and closes the lid, it can be easily used even by elderly people who often wear dentures. In addition, when the denture container is not being cleaned, the dentures can be wrapped in cloth and stored inside the container, and not only can the dentures be carried in the container, but it can also be stored several times. However, the denture container of the present invention has the above-mentioned features that allow dentures to be cleaned and stored in a sanitary manner, such as being able to be used repeatedly, and provides beneficial effects to denture users.
