BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toothbrush paper case which prevents an inserted toothbrush from rotating in the case and prevents rattling of the toothbrush in the case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 1, an exterior paper case used for selling toothbrushes at a store has flocked inside a transparent window of the case in order to make it easy to observe the flocked part of the toothbrush head from the side. The side of the part is located.

[0003]

However, in the case of the toothbrush paper case, the toothbrush inside is rotated and the internal toothbrush is rotated, so that the toothbrush head case of the toothbrush head case is rotated as shown in FIG. In some cases, it is difficult to observe the side surface of the flocked portion because the side surface is not located and the front surface, that is, the end surface of the flocked portion, is rotated to be visible.
Such a state is inconvenient for appealing to the consumer the characteristics of the hair-implanted portion, and therefore, the toothbrush in the case is
There is a demand for a device that can maintain a posture in which the hair-planted portion can be observed from the side. However, heretofore, there has been no technique to meet such a demand.

As a general technique for fixing and holding the contents in the case other than the toothbrush, for example, JP-A-57-46736 and JP-B-47-
1906 and 58-125184.

For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 57-46736 is a technique for accommodating products such as lighting equipment. Here, a flap is bent at the bottom of a cardboard box to form a mountain-shaped elastic body. The top of the body is pressed against one end in the longitudinal direction of the contained object, and the vibration of the contained article in the longitudinal direction is prevented by utilizing the cushioning force of the chevron elastic body. However, since this technique only prevents the contained article from swinging in the longitudinal direction by pressing the contained article in the longitudinal direction by the cushioning force of the chevron-shaped elastic body, it is necessary to prevent the contained article from swinging in the width direction or the thickness direction. If so, the only way to match the outer diameter of the box case with the outer diameter of the contained article is, but in a toothbrush with a flocked portion at the tip, it is difficult to match the outer diameter of the box case with the outer diameter of the toothbrush. It is not practical. Moreover, since this technique holds the contained article by pressing it from one end in the longitudinal direction, it cannot prevent the contained article from rotating, and the purpose is to position the flocked part side face in a fixed posture so that it can be observed through the see-through window. Not suitable.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 47-1906 relates to a paper box for packing a fluorescent lamp stand, in which pieces of paper located on both sides of the bottom surface of the paper box are bent in a mountain shape to form a recess for accommodating space in the center. The tilting of the fluorescent lamp stand during transportation is prevented by storing the leg base part of the fluorescent lamp stand in the recess while sandwiching it.
However, in this technique, the folded pieces of paper are arranged on both sides of the bottom surface of the box to hold the articles to be stored in the center of the bottom surface of the box. Therefore, the structure is complicated and it takes time to assemble. When applying the technology to a toothbrush paper case, it is extremely difficult to position the base end of the toothbrush that is inserted from the lower opening of the paper case and is inside the paper case in the recess between the chevron formed in the bottom plate member. It is difficult and poor in workability, so it is not suitable for practical use. Further, since the present technology sandwiches the base of the stored article in the center of the bottom plate, it is basically suitable for storing in a symmetrical state, and a toothbrush with a brushed portion formed only on one side of the handle has a transparent window for the brushed portion. It is not suitable to be stored in a condition that can be observed from the inside.

Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-125184 relates to a paper box for packing a U-shaped tube, and a mountain-shaped bent portion is provided on the bottom of the paper box, and an elliptical hole is formed in the center of the mountain-shaped bent portion. By opening and receiving the U-shaped portion of the tube in this hole, the deflection of the tube in the longitudinal direction is mainly prevented. However, this technology also has a complicated structure and requires a lot of time to assemble, and it is extremely difficult to position the base end of the toothbrush accommodated in the paper case of the toothbrush in the hole formed at the center of the top of the chevron fold. There is poor workability and is not suitable for practical use.

The present invention proposes a toothbrush paper case which adopts a fixing method suitable for a toothbrush paper case, in place of the conventional method for fixing an article to be housed in the paper case, and in particular, rotation of the toothbrush. The present invention aims to provide an anti-rotation toothbrush paper case that allows the buyer to easily observe the side of the toothbrush head inside through the transparent window. It is also to prevent rattling as much as possible. Then, such a useful toothbrush paper case is realized with a simple structure without increasing the manufacturing cost and lowering the workability during the toothbrush packing work.

[0009]

In order to solve the above problems, the present inventor has completed the present invention as a result of examining the shape of the toothbrush paper case in consideration of the relationship with the shape characteristics of the toothbrush. That is, according to the present invention, which has solved the above-mentioned problems, the front plate or the back plate in the lower opening of the toothbrush paper case is extended to form a flap having a length larger than the opening width.
The flap is formed with a polygonal line at a position approximately the same length as or shorter than the opening width, and a notch for forming an opening slightly larger than the thickness of the toothbrush handle between the case side plate and the flap side edge. At the part of the lower edge of the front plate facing the opening, a taper-shaped cutout portion that gradually widens from the one edge of the flap in the depth direction of the opening is continuous from the lower edge of the front plate. It is characterized by being formed.

[0010]

As described above, in the present toothbrush paper case, after the toothbrush is installed inside the case, the flap provided at the lower opening of the case is bent at the fold line portion so that the opening has a substantially V shape. The toothbrush is inserted so that the handle end of the toothbrush is positioned in the opening formed between the notch formed on the side edge of the flap and the case side plate.

The toothbrush positioned in the opening is restricted from moving by the side edges of the flap whose front surface is bent in a substantially V shape while the back surface of the handle is placed along the side plate of the case and rotation of the toothbrush is prevented. . The size of the opening is slightly larger than the thickness of the handle, and since the opening is designed to receive the handle with a clearance in the thickness direction, the entire side edge of the flap does not contact the front of the handle, but the flap does not Since it is bent in a V shape, the movement from the lower end of the handle to the part slightly above it is subject to movement restriction, and any part of these sections comes into contact with the front face of the handle, preventing rotation and tilting of the toothbrush. To be done. Further, by making the size of the opening larger than the handle thickness, it is possible to accommodate changes in the handle thickness, and it is possible to accommodate various toothbrushes with different handle thickness in the same paper case.

Further, a taper-shaped uncut portion is formed continuously from the lower end of the front plate in the portion of the lower end of the front plate which faces the opening, and which gradually widens in the depth direction of the opening from one side edge of the flap. Therefore, this tapered uncut portion contributes to strengthening the extension strength of the flap, and the flap with increased rigidity has sufficient elastic resilience in the lower end opening and the case front plate and the back plate. It is possible to be in a horizontal state in the meantime. Also, since the uncut portion formed on the flap has a slanted edge, even if the handle thickness of the toothbrush to be accommodated changes, the slanted side edge of the uncut portion always has the width of the handle by changing the bending angle of the inner flap. It is possible to make contact with the side portion in the direction, and to suppress lateral shake of the handle.

In this way, the toothbrush paper case is inserted into the toothbrush paper case by utilizing the opening formed between the flap side edge and the case side plate and locating the handle base end at this opening. It prevents the toothbrush from rotating and tilting, and allows the inserted toothbrush to maintain a fixed posture, thereby enabling observation from the side of the toothbrush head-implanted portion through the see-through window. In addition, the taper-shaped uncut portion provided at the position facing the opening prevents lateral shake of the handle, thereby suppressing rattling of the toothbrush in the case as much as possible.

Since this case, to which such an improved part is added, has an extremely simple structure, it does not cause an increase in cost and can be dealt with in manufacturing only by slightly modifying the conventional equipment. Moreover, in the toothbrush paper case of this toothbrush paper case, the toothbrush is housed in the case with the handle back surface along the case side plate, and in this state, the flap is pushed between the lower opening and the case side plate. Since the base end of the handle can be positioned in the open position, it has excellent workability.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 is an external view of a toothbrush paper case according to the present invention, in which 1 is a case body, 2 is a see-through window,
Reference numeral 3 is a toothbrush inserted in the inside, and 4 is a hook portion. The front plate 5 is on the front surface of the case, and the back plate 6 is on the rear surface.
Is provided, and side plates 7, 7 are provided on both side surfaces thereof. Such a toothbrush paper case is a well-known and well-known case, and a side flap 9 is extended on the side plate 7 extension and a back plate 6 extension at the lower opening 8 of the case like the conventional case. An outer flap 10 is provided on the upper side, and an inner flap 11 is provided on the extension of the front plate 5. The present invention forms a notch 12 at one side edge of the inner flap 11 or the outer flap 10 and uses an opening S formed between the notch 12 and the inner surface of the side plate as a receiving space for preventing rotation of the toothbrush handle. Is there. The depth d4 of the opening S is set to be slightly larger than the thickness d3 of the toothbrush handle 13 as shown in FIG. 4 to widen the range of acceptable toothbrushes.

2 to 4 show such details, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the inner flap 11
Alternatively, one of the outer flaps 10, in the illustrated example, the length d2 of the inner flap 11 is set to be larger than the lower opening width d1, for example, approximately twice the length of the opening, and the flap 11 is A polygonal line 14 is formed at a position that is approximately the same length as the opening width d1 or is shorter than the opening width d1 and is separated by a distance d3 from the base end side.
In the example shown in the drawing, in order to increase the extension strength thereof and prevent the toothbrush handle to be inserted from swinging in the width direction, one end side edge of the inner flap 11 facing the opening S faces in the depth direction of the opening S. Taper-shaped uncut portion that gradually widens
15 is continuously formed from the lower end of the front plate 5. The inner piece 11a located inside the fold line 14 of the inner flap 11 can be bent into the opening, that is, the fold line of the inner flap 11.
The inner piece 11a and the outer piece 11b of 14 are configured so as to be bent into a substantially V shape and can be inserted into the opening.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the inner flap 11 is folded and inserted into the opening 8 to form an opening S between the inner surface of the side plate 7 and the notch 12, and the handle is provided in this opening. It locates the base end of 13. Under such a state, the handle 13 has the opening S, that is, the notch 12
Since it is located inside and cannot rotate, the flocked portion on the tip side thereof always has its side surface facing the transparent window 2, and the toothbrush 3 rotates and changes its position due to an impact during transfer or handling. There is nothing to do.

FIG. 5 shows the positional relationship between the toothbrush handle 13 housed in the paper case and the inner flap 11. Here, the inner flap 11 has a length approximately twice the opening width d1. An example is shown in which the polygonal line 14 is formed at a position 1/2 of the length d2. The toothbrush positioned in the opening is in a state in which the movement of the toothbrush is restricted by the side edges of the inner flap 11 whose front surface is bent in a substantially V shape while the back surface of the handle 13 is aligned with the case side plate, and rotation of the toothbrush is prevented. It

As shown in FIG. 4, since the depth of the opening S is slightly larger than the handle thickness d3, the opening S receives the handle 13 with a clearance in the thickness direction. Does not come into contact with the front surface of the handle, but the inner flap 11 is bent in a substantially doglegged shape, so that the movement from the lower end of the handle to a portion slightly above it is subject to movement restriction, as shown in FIG. Any part of these sections comes into contact with the front surface of the handle to prevent the toothbrush handle 13 from both rotating and tilting. Further, by making the size of the opening S larger than the handle thickness, it is possible to cope with a change in the handle thickness, and it is possible to deal with various toothbrushes having different handle thicknesses.

The taper-shaped uncut portion 15 provided on one end side edge of the inner flap 11 contributes to strengthening the extension strength of the inner flap 11 and enhances the rigidity of the flap. In the opening, it has a sufficient elastic restoring force so that it can be placed horizontally between the front plate and the back plate of the case, and by being in contact with the lateral side of the handle 13, the handle 13 Although it has a function of preventing the widthwise deviation of the handle, for example, even when the type of the toothbrush accommodated changes the handle width, the uncut portion 15
The side edges of the handle 13 are surely brought into contact with the lateral portions of the handle so that the handle 13 can be prevented from lateral shake. 6 and 7 show this state, and the bending angle of the inner flap 11 changes in accordance with the change in the size of the handle 13 in the width direction. In this way, the side edge of the uncut portion 15 can always reliably contact the width direction side portion of the handle 13 by changing the bending angle of the inner flap 11 with respect to the change of the handle width, The lateral shake of the handle 13 can be prevented.

As described above, in the present toothbrush paper case, the handle base end is positioned at the opening formed between the flap side edge and the case side plate, whereby the toothbrush inserted into the main toothbrush paper case is rotated and tilted. It is possible to prevent the toothbrush head from the side surface of the toothbrush head through the see-through window, and in addition, there is a rattling of the toothbrush due to the taper notch provided at the position facing the opening. Can be suppressed as much as possible. And the structure for making such a rotation prevention opening is
Simply extend the length of the inner flap 11 and make a cutout 12 on its side edge.
Therefore, the process of manufacturing the conventional toothbrush paper case is hardly changed, and the process of simply increasing the length of the inner flap 11 and forming the notch 12 is provided in the conventional toothbrush paper case manufacturing process. It can be adopted by itself. In the figure, 16 is an insertion piece provided on the outer flap 10, and 17 is a hole for receiving the insertion piece 16.

[0022]

The toothbrush paper case according to the present invention is provided with a notch on at least one side edge of the inner flap or the outer flap, and the notch forms an opening between the inner surface of the side plate of the case and the opening. Since it is configured to receive the base end of the toothbrush handle, it is possible to regulate the movement by the flap side edge bent in a substantially V shape while aligning the handle back surface of the toothbrush located in the opening with the case side plate, The rotation of the toothbrush can be reliably prevented.

Further, in the portion of the lower end of the front plate facing the opening, a taper-shaped uncut portion is formed continuously from the lower end of the front plate and gradually widens from one side edge of the flap in the depth direction of the opening. Therefore, this tapered uncut portion contributes to strengthening the extension strength of the flap, and the flap with increased rigidity has sufficient elastic resilience in the lower end opening and the case front plate and the back plate. It is possible to be in a horizontal state in the meantime. Also, since the uncut portion formed on the flap has a slanted edge, even if the handle thickness of the toothbrush to be accommodated changes, the slanted side edge of the uncut portion always has the width of the handle by changing the bending angle of the inner flap. It is possible to make contact with the side portion in the direction, and to suppress lateral shake of the handle.

Further, since the size of the opening is slightly larger than the thickness of the handle and the opening is designed to receive the handle with a clearance in the thickness direction, the entire side edge of the flap does not come into contact with the front surface of the handle. However, since the flap is bent in a V shape, the movement from the lower end of the handle to the part slightly above it is subject to movement restriction, and any part of these sections comes into contact with the front surface of the handle to rotate the toothbrush. It is possible to prevent the inclination and to hold various toothbrushes having different handle thicknesses by making the size of the opening larger than the handle thickness.

In this way, the toothbrush paper case is inserted into the toothbrush paper case by utilizing the opening formed between the flap side edge and the case side plate and locating the handle end at this opening. It prevents the toothbrush from rotating and tilting, and by allowing the inserted toothbrush to maintain a fixed posture, it allows observation from the side of the toothbrush head-implanted portion through the see-through window, and allows the consumer to implant it. The characteristics of can be effectively appealed. Further, the taper-shaped uncut portion provided at the position facing the opening can prevent rattling of the toothbrush as much as possible.

Since the structure for forming such a rotation preventing opening is a simple structure in which the length of the flap is simply extended and the notch is formed in the side edge thereof, the cost is increased. It is possible to deal with it by only making a slight change to the conventional equipment in the manufacturing process. Moreover, in the toothbrush paper case of this toothbrush paper case, the toothbrush is housed in the case with the handle back surface along the case side plate, and in this state, the flap is pushed between the lower opening and the case side plate. Since the base end of the handle can be positioned in the open position, it has excellent workability.
