Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of use] The present invention relates to a toothbrush holder that can hold a plurality of toothbrushes in a predetermined posture in an orderly manner without contacting each other.

[Conventional technology]

A number of value toothbrushes and visitor toothbrushes are sold in the form of being packaged at the same time, but there is no fixed form of packaging. There is one that holds the direction of the toothbrush by inserting the body.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the method of inserting the rod into the hole, it is necessary to insert the rod into the holes of the toothbrushes in sequence, and it is impossible to automate the packaging. It only had the function of aligning the directions of the toothbrush in the box or packaging bag, and had no utility value after reaching the consumer's hand.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a toothbrush holder that can be easily attached to a toothbrush, can stably hold the toothbrush after attachment, and can be used by consumers even after purchase. To do.

[Means for solving the problem]

The toothbrush holder of the present invention which has solved the above problems has the following configuration.

That is, the front surface is open and a locking projection for preventing falling is formed at the opening edge, and the width thereof is substantially the same as the thickness of the toothbrush neck and the depth thereof is substantially the same as the width of the toothbrush neck. A plurality of elastic holding frames that can tightly hold the toothbrush neck portion with the holding space formed on the inner surface are set so that the distance between adjacent elastic holding frames is longer than the bristle length of the toothbrush. This is a configuration in which they are continuously formed by integral molding through a frame-shaped reinforcing ring, and one side wall of the frame-shaped reinforcing ring and one of the opposing walls of the elastic holding frame are shared.

In addition, an adhesive layer covered with release paper may be provided on the back surface of the toothbrush holder.

[Action]

In the toothbrush holder having such a configuration, the neck portion of the toothbrush is inserted from the front opening portion, and the toothbrush neck portion is forcibly fitted into the holding space by overcoming the locking protrusion for preventing the toothbrush formed at the opening edge. The neck portion of the toothbrush is held by the elastic holding frame. In this way, a plurality of toothbrushes are held in a predetermined posture and then housed in a transparent packaging bag.

It is extremely easy to attach the toothbrush to the toothbrush holder, and after installation, the neck portion of the toothbrush is held tightly by the elastic holding frame, and further, the locking protrusion is formed on the front opening edge of the elastic holding frame. Therefore, the toothbrush is firmly held in any of the front, rear, left, and right directions. Therefore, the toothbrush is stably held in the packaging bag, and it is possible not only to maintain the fixed posture at the time of display at the store but also to maintain the fixed posture without deforming even during transportation under vibration or impact.

In addition, the square frame-shaped reinforcing ring interposed between the elastic holding frames reinforces the entire toothbrush holder to prevent deformation of the toothbrush holder, prevents the elastic holding frame from expanding excessively, and prevents the toothbrush from being attached or removed. Since the reduction of the restoring force of the elastic holding frame that occurs when repeated is prevented, the toothbrush can always be stably held with little deterioration even when it is repeatedly used. In addition, the presence of the square frame-shaped reinforcing ring realizes a materially dense structure even on the opening side of the holding space, so that the effect of preventing deformation due to vibration or shock is further enhanced.

Further, the toothbrush holder is mounted with the toothbrush so that the standing direction of the toothbrush flocking part and the continuous direction of the elastic holding frame are aligned with each other, and the distance between the adjacent elastic holding frames is set to be longer than the bristling length of the toothbrush. ing. Therefore,
Adjacent flocked parts do not come into contact with each other, damage to the flocked parts can be avoided, and the entire shape of the side surface of the toothbrush including the flocked parts can be visually observed from the front side, and an excellent exhibition effect can be exhibited.

Furthermore, when an adhesive layer coated with release paper is provided on the back of the toothbrush holder, you can easily attach the toothbrush holder to the wall surface of the washroom by simply removing the release paper. It can also be used as a toothbrush holder.

〔Example〕

Next, the details of the present invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiment.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a toothbrush holder according to the present invention, FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b) are front and plan views of the same embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a front view showing a use state. Is.

The toothbrush holder has a structure in which a plurality of expandable elastic holding frames 2 of a plan view type having an opening 1 on the front surface are connected in series with an intermediate member 3 interposed therebetween, and the whole is integrally molded using synthetic resin. ing. The depth 1 and the lateral width d1 of the holding space 4 formed on the inner surface of each elastic holding frame are set so that the neck portion of the toothbrush A can be installed in a clamped state as shown in FIG. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 3, the depth 1 is made substantially equal to the width of the toothbrush neck portion, and the lateral width d1 is made substantially equal to the thickness of the toothbrush neck portion. It is configured so that it can be accommodated in a state in which it is aligned with the direction in which the two are connected. Further, protruding walls 5 are formed on both side edges of the opening of the elastic holding frame 2 to prevent the toothbrush from falling off.

The intermediate member 3 provided between the elastic holding frames 2 is for avoiding contact between the adjacent toothbrush bristles, and its lateral width is such that the distance between the adjacent elastic holding frames is longer than the flocking length. Is set to. In the illustrated example, the intermediate member 3 extends laterally in parallel from the front end and the rear end of the elastic holding frame 2 and is integrated with the front end and the rear end of the adjacent elastic holding frame 2, and is adjacent to the resultant shape. The reinforcing ring 6 having a square shape in plan view is formed between the holding spaces 4. With this configuration, when all the toothbrushes in the holding spaces 4, 4, 4 are installed, the toothbrush holder can exhibit extremely strong mechanical strength against pressure from both ends in the length direction. Further, due to the presence of the reinforcing ring 6, the elastic holding frame 2
Since it can be prevented from expanding excessively, it is ensured by the holding state of the toothbrush.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, it is also possible to incline each elastic holding frame 2b and hold the toothbrush while partially rotating it. FIG. 5 shows the case where an adhesive layer 8 whose surface is covered with release paper 7 is provided on the back surface of the toothbrush holder, and the toothbrush holder taken out from the packaging bag is attached to the wall surface of the washroom. This is a case where the toothbrush holder is provided so that the toothbrush holder can also be used as an attached toothbrush holder. As the fixing means to the wall surface, in addition to using the adhesive as described above, it is also possible to open a mounting hole portion on the back surface of the toothbrush holder and screw a wood screw or the like through the mounting hole portion. It is possible.

A method of using the toothbrush holder having such a configuration will be described based on the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. The toothbrush holder passes over the projecting wall 5 from the front opening 1 of each elastic holding frame 2. The toothbrush neck is pushed in, the toothbrush is accommodated in the holding space, and the toothbrushes are arranged side by side as shown in FIG. Since each toothbrush is sandwiched by the elastic holding frame 2, the posture thereof is stable, and the posture is maintained even when some impact is applied. Next, the toothbrushes in the juxtaposed state are housed in a transparent bag manually or by using an automatic insertion machine. Since the toothbrush holder of the present invention holds each toothbrush between the elastic holding frames 2,2,2, the posture can be firmly held and the packaging work can be efficiently performed using the automatic insertion machine. it can.

Also, after packaging is completed, it is transported or displayed for sale, but since each toothbrush is firmly held, the toothbrush will not be affected by impact during transportation or product movement at the store. It does not fall apart and can always maintain the same posture.

Since the toothbrush holder is configured to mount the toothbrush so that the standing direction of the toothbrush flocking portion and the continuous direction of the elastic holding frame match, it is possible to appeal to the consumer the side shape of the toothbrush, for example, The curved shape of the handle portion can be emphasized.

Further, since the substantially annular frame-shaped reinforcing ring 6 is formed between the holding spaces 4, the mechanical strength is excellent, and the toothbrush holder is not deformed even when an external force is applied to the toothbrush holder. Since the expansion of the elastic holding frame 2 is restricted by the presence of the reinforcing ring 6, the state in which the toothbrush is held is more reliable.

When the toothbrush is partially rotated, the bristle tip can be emphasized.

Also, when an adhesive layer coated with release paper is provided on the back of the toothbrush holder, the toothbrush holder can be attached to the wall surface of the washroom simply by peeling off the release paper on the back of the toothbrush holder. It can also be used as a built-in toothbrush holder.

[Effect of device]

In the toothbrush holder of the present invention, the front surface is opened and a locking projection for preventing the falling is formed at the opening edge, the lateral width of which is substantially equal to the thickness of the toothbrush neck, and the depth thereof is approximately the lateral width of the toothbrush neck. A plurality of elastic holding frames capable of tightly sandwiching the toothbrush neck portion having the holding space of the same size formed on the inner surface are provided so that the distance between adjacent elastic holding frames is longer than the toothbrush implantation length. The structure is such that they are continuously formed by integral molding through a rectangular frame-shaped reinforcing ring having a set width, and one side wall of the rectangular frame-shaped reinforcing ring and one of the opposing walls of the elastic holding frame are shared. When mounting the toothbrush, the neck of the toothbrush is inserted through the front opening, and the toothbrush neck is forcibly fitted into the holding space by overcoming the locking projection for preventing the toothbrush from being formed at the opening edge.
The present invention has the following effects by adopting such a configuration and mounting method.

It is extremely easy to attach the toothbrush to the toothbrush holder, and after installation, the neck of the toothbrush is held tightly by the elastic holding frame, and a locking projection is formed on the front opening edge of this elastic holding frame. Since the toothbrush is prevented from falling off to the side, the toothbrush is firmly clamped in any of the front, rear, left and right directions. Therefore, the toothbrush is stably held in the packaging bag, and it is possible not only to maintain the fixed posture at the time of display at the store but also to maintain the fixed posture without deforming even during transportation under vibration or impact.

The square frame-shaped reinforcing ring interposed between the elastic holding frames reinforces the entire toothbrush holder to prevent deformation of the toothbrush holder, prevents excessive expansion of the elastic holding frame, and repeatedly attaches and detaches the toothbrush. Since the reduction of the restoring force of the elastic holding frame which occurs at the time of occurrence is prevented, the toothbrush can always be stably held with little deterioration even if it is repeatedly used. In addition, the presence of the square frame-shaped reinforcing ring realizes a materially dense structure even on the opening side of the holding space, so that the effect of preventing deformation due to vibration or shock is further enhanced.

Since the toothbrush is installed so that the standing direction of the toothbrush flocking part and the continuous direction of the elastic holding frame match, it is possible to visually check the entire shape of the toothbrush side face including the flocking part from the front side, It can appeal to consumers and exhibit excellent display effect. Further, since the separation distance between the adjacent elastic holding frames is set to be longer than the bristle implantation length of the toothbrush, the neighboring bristle-implanted portions do not come into contact with each other and the bristle-implanted portions are not damaged.

Since the holding effect of the toothbrush is stable, an automatic insertion machine can be used for the insertion work into the packaging bag, and the efficiency of the packaging work can be improved.

Since this toothbrush holder has a simple structure and is integrally molded using synthetic resin, the manufacturing cost is low, and even if it is used as a holder for economical toothbrushes, it will not cause a price increase.

Also, when an adhesive layer coated with release paper is provided on the back of the toothbrush holder, this toothbrush holder can be attached to the wall surface of the washroom by simply peeling off the release paper. Is also available.
