Description

Toothbrush

The present invention relates to a toothbrush, and more particularly, to a toothbrush for allowing a head portion provided with bristles to be spaced apart from other objects so that the toothbrush can stand upright for hygienic storage of the bristles.

The toothbrush is used to maintain the cleanliness of the mouth, and a toothbrush that wipes a person's teeth must be kept clean at all times. The toothbrush containing the bristles is not only kept clean from foreign substances but also has a considerable number of germs in the mouth of a person. Therefore, when many toothbrushes are collected and stored, contamination of bacteria between the toothbrushes must be considered.

Since the toothbrush is easily stored at home, the toothbrush by the foreign body is alleviated to some extent, but the bathroom is less sunny and remains moist and is likely to propagate bacteria. In addition, there is a problem that toothbrushes are usually used by inserting a toothbrush of the whole family into a single cup, and each toothbrush is provided with a toothbrush holder and is individually stored. However, by mounting the bristles on each toothbrush holder, Problems due to contamination may occur during prolonged use.

In this case, there is a problem that bacteria adhered to one toothbrush are spread to other family members through contact between the bristles, or bacteria are propagated and propagated to the bristles due to contamination of the head or handle of the toothbrush.

In addition, when storing toothbrushes outdoors such as in a company or a school, there is a part where a toothbrush is not hygienically stored on a desk or a desk drawer together with a pencil stand or a writing instrument.

On the other hand, in order to hygienically store the bristles, it is also possible to store the bristles in a plastic cap or a plastic cap. However, contamination from external foreign matter can be prevented, but there is a problem in that propagation of bacteria can not be prevented in a state where the water is not completely dried .

The object of the present invention is to provide a mounting portion of a toothbrush which can mount a toothbrush separately, in which the head portion of the toothbrush provided with the bristles can be easily connected to another toothbrush or other toothbrush, A toothbrush is provided with a mounting portion that can be separated from objects.

The handle may have an engaging groove corresponding to a shape of the inner periphery of the mounting portion for engaging with the mounting portion on an outer circumferential surface coupled to the mounting portion.

The mounting portion may be formed to have an O-ring shape so that the upper surface and the lower surface in the width direction are symmetrical so that the rear end of the handle can be fitted in both directions of the inner periphery.

The bottom surface of the rear end of the handle portion, the upper surface of the mounting portion, and the lower surface of the mounting portion may be provided in a structure in which they are brought into close contact with the ground surface by surface tension formed by the moisture of the ground.

The upper surface of the mounting portion and the lower surface of the mounting portion may be formed with a plurality of protrusions so that the handle portion erected on the ground surface by the mounting portion is less likely to slide leftward or rightward due to frictional force.

The handle may be made of a synthetic resin material such that the center of gravity is formed at the lower end of the rear end, and the inside of the handle is made of a metal material having a predetermined weight or more so that the toothbrush can be raised with the width of the mounting portion.

In addition, when the external force is applied to the handle, the outer periphery is formed to extend from the outer periphery of the handle to a curved surface having a predetermined radius, so that the mount can be raised up by the center of gravity.
