The claimed technical solution relates to the field of medicine, in particular dentistry, and more specifically to auxiliary means for the prevention of dental diseases through the hygienic storage of toothbrushes of any modifications (mechanical / manual / and electric) in the conditions of ensuring the possibility of preventive bactericidal (disinfectant) treatment of their cleaning products structures (in particular, bristles of a functional element) while recharging their (toothbrushes) batteries (exclusively for electric batteries) bnyh brushes).

The prior art multifunctional stand for an electric toothbrush, including:

- a basic support with a cavity for placing an energy source for an electrical functional means; a charger with means for connecting its electric converter to an alternating current network, the output of which is commutation connected with an energy transfer means to said energy source of an electric functional means;

- a disinfectant located on the base support with a functional chamber, in the area of which there is an electric functional means in the form of an ultrasonic ultrasonic emitter, which is structurally formed with the possibility of generating ultrasonic waves of a given frequency range, providing a sterilizing effect; wherein the ultrasonic emitter is equipped with functional means for connecting it to the aforementioned energy source, switching connected with the specified source;

The disadvantages of this technical solution include the following.

The use of an ultrasonic ultrasonic emitter as a disinfectant in a known technical solution, firstly, does not provide the necessary degree of disinfection of the sterilized object, since ultrasound acts on the disinfected object exclusively by means of a high-frequency shock sound wave (i.e., it dynamically acts on microbacteria, removing them / but not destroying / from the surface of the disinfected object and leaving it in the volume of the functional chamber).

In addition, ultrasound is capable of exerting a destructive effect on the material of the working elements of both the sterilized object and the box-disinfector itself, reducing their service life during the operation of this disinfectant.

The prior art also known multifunctional stand for an electric toothbrush, including:

- a basic support with a functional cavity to accommodate the energy source of the electrical functional means; a charger with means for connecting its electric converter to an alternating current network, the output of which is commutation connected with an energy transfer means to said energy source of an electric functional means;

- a disinfectant located on the base support with a functional chamber, in the area of which there is an electric functional means in the form of an ultraviolet UV emitter (specifically, in the form of a gas discharge ultraviolet mercury lamp), which is structurally formed with the possibility of generating electromagnetic waves in the near region of the ultraviolet spectrum, which provides sterilizing exposure (i.e., with a wavelength of approximately 255 nm); at the same time, the functional camera is structurally organized with the possibility of eliminating the spread of UV radiation beyond its volume, and the UV emitter is equipped with functional means for connecting it to the mentioned energy source, switching connected with the specified source;

- as well as at least one mounting element located on the base support in the area of the projection of the contour of the disinfectant body onto the plane of the base support and structurally formed with the possibility of installing through it on the base support a sterilized object with a reciprocal landing structure on its base (http: //egigiena.ru/philips-hx9182, “Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum HX9182 sonic toothbrush, yndex, 2010 or http://doctorslon.ru/catalog/zubniye-shetki-elektricheskie/philips-sonicare-flexcare-platinum- hx9182-32 /; “Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum HX9182 / 32 Electric Toothbrush”, yndex, 2014 - proto type of).

The disadvantages of the data known from the prior art solutions include the following.

The use of a mercury gas-discharge ultraviolet lamp as a UV emitter in the above-mentioned solutions, firstly, increases the operational energy consumption of household devices, complicates the design of their disinfector boxes (and, accordingly, their price), and, secondly, a significant degree reduces their operational and environmental safety.

The objective of the claimed technical solution is to create a universal multifunctional stand designed for any modifications (mechanical / manual / and electric) of toothbrushes while improving the quality of sterilization of their working elements while minimizing household energy consumption and ensuring operational and environmental safety.

The technical result is a simplification of the design while reducing energy consumption, as well as ensuring operational and environmental safety due to the use of a UV LED with a quartz lens as a UV emitter (instead of a mercury gas discharge ultraviolet lamp).

An additional, particular, technical result is an increase in the quality of disinfection of the sterilized object due to the combined exposure to it with UV radiation of a given wavelength range and, in addition, sterilization of the said object with silver ions, as well as the expansion of the functionality of the patented object, by ensuring the possibility of its use both for electric and for ordinary (mechanical / i.e. manual / action) toothbrushes.

The following is a description of the statics of the claimed technical solution.

Universal multifunctional toothbrush holder includes:

- a basic support 1 with a functional cavity for accommodating a source 48 (Fig. 1) of energy for electrical functional means;

- charger 47 with means 25, 27 connecting its electrical Converter to the AC network; a disinfectant located on the base support 1 with a functional chamber 38, in the area of which there is an electrical functional means in the form of an ultraviolet UV emitter, which is structurally formed with the possibility of generating electromagnetic waves in the near region of the ultraviolet spectrum, providing a sterilizing effect;

- as well as at least one mounting element 9 located on the base support 1 in the area of the projection of the contour of the disinfectant body on the plane 17 of the base support 1 and structurally formed with the possibility of installing through it on the base support 1 a toothbrush with a reciprocal landing structure on her hilt.

Moreover, the functional chamber 38 is structurally organized with the possibility of excluding the spread of UV radiation beyond its volume, and the UV emitter is equipped with functional means for connecting it to the mentioned energy source 48, switching connected with the specified source 48.

Distinctive features of the claimed technical solution from those known from the prior art is that the UV emitter is made in the form of at least one UV LED 10 with a quartz lens. In this case, the main optical axis 50 of the aforementioned quartz lens (as well as the reflector 43) is spatially located with the possibility of propagation of the electromagnetic radiation generated by the UV LED 10 in the direction of the sterilized object 12 (the working element of the toothbrush as a whole or its nozzle 16). In addition, at least one installation element 9 is made in the form of an installation-electric element equipped with means for switching it with the output of the electric converter of the charger 47 and, additionally, functionally being a means of transferring energy to the battery of the sterilized object 12 (in the form of an electric toothbrush) in the process of charging it.

The last of the above distinguishing features allows through patented stand (simultaneously with the disinfection of the working element of the toothbrush) to recharge the battery directly of an electric toothbrush, which extends the functionality of the claimed stand. Moreover, at least one of the above installation-electrical elements can be located both in the volume region of the functional chamber 38 of the box-disinfector 26, and outside this region on any free area of the plane 17 of the housing of the base support 1.

A wide range of UV LEDs with quartz lenses (providing a disinfecting effect) is widely known in the art, and therefore their constructive implementation is not disclosed in the framework of this application (see, for example, UV LEDs from Zhuhai Tianhui Electronic Co., LTD Model SMD5050 Germicidal 265 NM UVC LEDs).

According to one of the structural variants of execution (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2), the disinfectant of the patented stand can be made in the form of a disinfector box 26, which is open from the side of the base support 1 and fixedly connected with it. In this case, the geometric shape of the upper part of the internal reflective surface 41 of the box-disinfector 26 is made in the form of a reflector 43, mounted on the rod 51 by means of radial spokes 54 (mainly three pieces arranged uniformly around the circumference). UV LED 10, as a rule, should be located in the area of the focal plane 45 of the said reflective surface 41 of the reflector 43 with the possibility of spreading the radiation generated by it (UV LED 10) towards the reflective surface 41 of the reflector 43. The surface area of the base support 1, located opposite the body of the said box-disinfector 26 is made with a coating 44 that absorbs a directed flow 46 of the ultraviolet radiation reflected by the reflector 43 generated by the UV LED 10.

A wide range of materials and coatings that absorb near-wavelength UV radiation is widely known in the art, and therefore their chemical composition is not disclosed in the framework of this application (see, for example, “Chemistry Handbook”, 21, chemistry and chemical technology, p. 65 and p. 151).

It is acceptable that at least one UV LED 10 is located in the main focus region 42 of the reflective surface 41 of the reflector 43.

It is advisable that at least part of the internal reflective surface 41 of the reflector 43 be made with a mirror coating 49 (Fig. 2).

According to this design of the box-disinfector 26, the UV LED 10 is mounted on a hollow rod 51, which is located in the dead (shadow) for the directed flow 46 of UV radiation zone 52. On the rod 51 below the location of the working element (brush) of the toothbrush by means of knitting needles 55 an electrically conductive ring 53 with a negative electric potential (charge) is installed.

The use in this embodiment of the box-disinfector 26 of the electrically conductive ring 53 with a negative electric charge and the above spatial arrangement is advisable if it is possible to create a positive potential on the reflective surface 41 of the reflector 43. As a result, an electric field is created between the ring 53 and the surface 41 of the reflector 43, along the lines of force of which positively charged silver ions 56 (Ag ⁺ ) will directionally move in the direction of the negatively charged electrically conductive ring 53 (respectively, when sterilizing an object 12 with silver and its alloys or other ion-silver systems known in the art).

The cavity of the rod 51 can be used to place current leads coming from the energy source 48 to the UV LED 10, to the above surface 41 (positive potential / charge /) of the reflector 43 and to the electrically conductive ring 53 with a negative potential (charge).

The arrows with circles in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 denotes positively charged silver ions 56 / Ag ⁺ / (according to the dependent claims generated by a mirror coating of silver, its alloy, or others known from the prior art, and described in detail below in the text of ion-silver structures implanted in the said mirror coating )

According to another structural embodiment (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4), the disinfectant of the patented stand can be made in the form of a disinfector box 26, which includes an element in the form of a lid 7 and two structurally discrete parts 5 kinematically connected by telescopic connection to each other and 6. Structurally discrete parts 5 and 6, together with an element in the form of a cover 7, functionally provide the formation of a spatially closed structure in the working position of the box-disinfector 26 (i.e. when turned on m UV LED), and in the loading position (i.e., in the installation position of the sterilized object 12 / the toothbrush as a whole or its nozzle / in the functional chamber 38 when the UV LED is off), provide the possibility of the formation of the technological window, by relative displacements (rotational, vertical reciprocating or combined - rotational and vertical (i.e., along a helical trajectory) structurally discrete parts 5 and 6. Moreover, one of these structurally discrete parts 5 or 6 of the disinfector box 26 is not fixedly mounted on the plane 17 of the base support 1. An element in the form of a cover 7 is also fixedly connected to one of the structurally discrete parts 5 or 6 mentioned (depending on the design of the box-disinfector 26 in terms of the aforementioned movement of the structurally discrete parts 5 and 6 and their forms).

It is optimal that at least part of the inner surface of the structurally discrete parts 5 and 6 of the box-disinfector 26, as well as at least part of the area 39 of the surface 17 of the base support 1 located in the cavity of the box-disinfector 26, be made with mirror coatings 32, 33 and 40.

It is also advisable that at least part of the inner surfaces of the structurally discrete parts 5 and 6 of the disinfector box 26 would be made in the form of a wave-like shape 35 and 36, mainly with a vertical arrangement of the frontal plane of the waves. This constructive implementation of these surfaces allows you to transform the directed flux (Fig. 3) of UV radiation into diffuse (multidirectional) radiation. And this allows you to provide a disinfectant effect on the bristles of the working element of the toothbrush from all sides (i.e. the spatial processing range of each bristle of the working element of the toothbrush will be at least 360 °).

It is permissible that at least part of the inner surfaces of the structurally discrete parts 5 and 6 of the disinfector box 26 should be made in a zigzag shape, preferably with a vertical arrangement of the frontal plane of the zigs. This embodiment of the design of the respective surfaces provides almost the same physical and disinfecting effect (full-volume) as the previous, above-described option.

It is reasonable that at least part of the said mirror coatings 32 and 33 of each of the structurally discrete parts 5 and 6 of the disinfector box 26 is made of an electrically conductive material. In this case, the mentioned parts can functionally be a means (current leads) for connecting the UV LED 10 to its autonomous energy source (the latter is not conventionally shown in Fig. 3). In addition, with this design of the box-disinfector 26, it is possible to create an electric field along the lines of force of which directional movement of silver ions 56 (Ag ⁺ ) will be provided towards the object to be sterilized 12.

It is completely obvious that, in the above case, the mentioned parts of the electrically conductive material of the mirror coatings 32 and 33 on the structurally discrete parts 5 and 6 of the disinfector box 26 must be equipped with current leads for connecting to the terminals of the UV LED 10 and its energy source and which are functionally them (i.e., an energy source and a UV LED 10) by means of electrical switching.

The shape of the opposed surfaces of said telescopically connected structurally discrete parts 5 and 6 of the disinfector box 26 can be made in the form of surfaces of revolution. In this case, the relative movement of the mentioned parts 5 and 6 can be performed in the circumferential direction - always, in the vertical reciprocating movement - only with a cylindrical or conical shape of the corresponding mutually inverted surfaces.

The shape of the opposed surfaces of said telescopically connected structurally discrete parts 5 and 6 of the disinfector box 26 can also be made in the form of equidistant surfaces of arbitrary shape, providing only reciprocating movement of these parts 5 and 6 in the vertical direction and along a helical path in various spatial variations -constructive implementation of this form.

Optimally, the UV LED 10 would be mounted on the element in the form of a cover 7 of the disinfector box 26, and the main optical axis 50 of its quartz lens would be directed vertically downward (i.e., to the sterilized object 12).

Box disinfector 26 may be equipped with a means of cooling the volume of the functional chamber 38 with its structural structures formed. This tool may functionally directly be an element of the box-disinfector 26 in the form of a cover 7. In this case, the cover 7 should be made of heat-conducting material, for example, aluminum, and its surface from the side of the functional chamber 38 of the box-disinfector 26 should be made with the above-described known from the prior art, the UV absorbing coating 34 of FIG. 4 or 44 of FIG. one.

The universal multifunctional stand can be equipped with a permanent magnet 20 in the form of a tube of toothpaste fastening to the outer surface of the outer structurally discrete part 5 of the box-disinfector 26 (according to Fig. 3).

It is quite obvious that other particular constructive solutions are possible for the industrial implementation of the box-disinfector of the declared object, satisfying the characteristics of Clause 1 of the utility model formula (i.e., the protection area is not limited to only two constructive options for the patented stand).

The following discloses particular cases of the constructive implementation of the patented technical solution, which can be attributed to any of the above designs of the stand and its box-disinfector 26.

Charger 47 may be located in said functional cavity 38 of base support 1.

The charger can be made in the form of a structure that is structurally independent of the stand, and the base support body 1, in this case, must be equipped with an external connector 27 to provide switching communication with the output of the electric converter of the charger, while the said external connector 27 must be switched connected with the mentioned installation-electric element 9 and an autonomous energy source 48 of the electrical functional means in the form of an LED 10.

The above-mentioned mirror coatings 32 and 33 (Fig. 4), as well as coating 49 (Fig. 2) can be made of silver, its alloy, other silver-ion structures or contain silver ions directly implanted in the mirror coatings using technologies known from the prior art (for example, the technology of vacuum-plasma implantation of ions into the surface layer of the substrate of the product).

The energy source of the UV LED 10 can be autonomous, for example, in the form of an electric battery or in the form of standard disposable batteries, which are placed in the functional cavity of the base support 1.

It is also advisable that the energy source of the UV LED is in the form of solar panels, the elements of which are placed on the corresponding (accessible to light) surfaces of the base support. In this case, it is optimal to provide for the use of a light-sensitive sensor and a timer in the electrical circuit of its (UV LED) connection to the solar battery. In this case, the UV-LED will be connected to the solar battery only in the dark and for a specified period of time (5-15 minutes).

Mentioned at least one installation-electric element 9 can be structurally arranged with the possibility of providing communication with the battery of the sterilized object in the form of an electric toothbrush by means of electromagnetic induction, i.e. non-contact. This is a well-known structural solution from the prior art, and therefore, within the framework of this application, the physical principles of the functioning of devices for contactless energy transfer, i.e. through electromagnetic induction are not considered (see, for example, http://ru.aliexpress.com/cheap/cheap-inductive-charging-toothbrush.html)

It is optimal that the mounting elements 9, 13, 14, 15, 30 would be structurally removable, and the stand would be equipped with a set of additional interchangeable mounting elements, which, in this case, should be made with landing and installation structures corresponding to the corresponding landing installation structures of the most common range of known standard types of toothbrushes (mechanical / manual / and electric) or removable nozzles for them.

The direct current power source of the electric battery of the UV LED 10 during charging can functionally be directly the electrical converter of the charger 47.

Optimally, the electrical converter of the charger 47 would be switched connected to the autonomous DC power supply 48 of the UV LED 10 through a time timer by means of appropriate current leads. This allows you to automatically turn off the UV LED after a specified period of time, providing complete disinfection of the working element of the toothbrush (after about 10-15 minutes).

It is advisable that located on the outside of the box-disinfector 26, the surface section 17 of the base support 1 would be equipped with at least one additional removable installation element 14 or 30 for the toothbrush and / or included in its set of removable nozzles.

It is obvious that the height-wide functional chamber 38 of the box-disinfector 26 is advisable to choose from the condition of ensuring the possibility of placing a complete toothbrush in it with a working nozzle.

It is most rational to equip the patented stand with an optical indicator 29 (Fig. 3) of the on state of the UV LED 10. This indicator 29 (Fig. 3) can be formed, for example, on a portion of the inner surface of one of the telescopically connected structurally discrete parts 5 or 6 of the box disinfector 26 by means of a phosphor, mainly organic. In this case, the indicated surface area must be made transparent for the spectrum of visible radiation, and the shape of the optical indicator 29 may take the form, for example, of an alphabetic or artistic symbol or image, respectively. The phosphor will glow when the UV LED is turned on under the influence of a UV radiation stream incident on it. When you turn off the UV LED, the phosphor glow quickly dies.

It is also advisable to equip the stand with an optical indicator 28 (Fig. 3) of the on state of the charger, which can be made in the form of an LED.

The operation of the claimed technical solution according to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 graphic materials (paragraph 2 of the formula of the utility model) is as follows.

After installing the sterilized object 12 (for example, a toothbrush) on the mounting element 9 and / or 13 of the functional chamber 38 of the box-disinfector 26, the UV LED 10 is connected to an autonomous energy source 48 (by any means and methods known from the prior art). The radiation flux 11 (Fig. 1) generated by the UV LED 10, by means of the reflecting surface 41 of the reflector 43, is transformed into a parallel directed UV radiation flux 46 propagating in the direction of the disinfected working element (for example, a brush) of the toothbrush. Due to the effect of UV radiation on the bristles of said brush, they are disinfected due to the well-known sterilizing effect of UV radiation of the corresponding wavelength range (mainly within 265 nm). Further, in order to avoid the spread of the UV radiation flux beyond the space limited by the contour of the functional chamber 38 of the box-disinfector 26, a coating 44 is used that absorbs the directed UV flux 46 incident on it. Examples of materials and coatings known from the prior art are given above.

To enhance the disinfecting effect on the sterilized object 12, silver (Ag ⁺ ) ions can additionally be used.

For this purpose, a coating layer of silver, its alloy or ion-silver systems specially developed for such purposes, which will be described below, is applied to the reflecting mirror surface 41.

To increase the efficiency of the effect of silver ions on the sterilized object 12, an electrostatic force field can be used. To do this, the stand must be equipped with two electrically conductive oppositely charged elements. Moreover, the negatively charged element should be in the zone of propagation of the directed flux 46 of UV radiation below the location of the sterilized object 12 (for example, a brush of a toothbrush). In the considered embodiment of the disinfector box 26, an electrically conductive ring 53 is used as a negatively charged element, which is connected to the negative pole of an autonomous source 48 (for example, by means of electrically conductive spokes 55 that are functionally used as sections of current leads to ring 53). As a positively charged element can be used, for example, an electrically conductive mirror coating 49 (see Fig. 2) deposited on the reflective surface 41 of the reflector 26.

This design allows you to create a directed flow of silver ions, spatially oriented directly to the sterilized object 12 (for example, a brush of the toothbrush). It should also be noted that the use of the above silver-based coatings in combination with UV radiation to ensure the sterilizing effect is most effective, since it is widely known that UV radiation has the effect of energetically activating neutral silver atoms, thereby facilitating the possibility of their ionization ( i.e., their transition into energetically charged particles - silver ions / Ag ⁺ /).

When used in the stand under consideration as an installation element 9 or 13 of an installation-electric element (for an electric toothbrush), at the same time as sterilization (within 10-15 minutes) the brush of the toothbrush can recharge its electric battery (which takes much longer). In this case, it is advisable to provide timers for the connected state of both the UV LED and the toothbrush battery in the electric system of the stand. It is also advisable to provide appropriate visual indicators 28, 29 (for example, LED or / specifically for UV LEDs / luminescent) on the state of the considered electrical means.

It should be noted that the installation-electric element in question can also be used to install a conventional manual manual toothbrush.

It is further advisable to dwell in more detail on the disinfecting properties of silver ions.

It should be specially noted that there are areas where the need for the introduction of bactericidal additives into the material of the corresponding structures of the disinfectable and, at the same time, disinfectant product is obvious. Studies show that potentially pathogenic bacteria are found on a variety of household items surrounding a person. Contact with contaminated objects leads to the rapid movement of bacteria to other objects, as well as to the human digestive system through the oral cavity, which can lead to various diseases. Reducing the number of microorganisms in the oral cavity minimizes the risk of transmission of infection, therefore, it is advisable to use the product from antimicrobial materials or its disinfection (in particular, silver ions) in the domestic sphere, and first of all, in the production and use of personal hygiene items, including and in - universal multifunctional bactericidal toothbrush holders.

The antiseptic properties of silver have been known since ancient times. According to scientific studies, silver ions can destroy up to 650 varieties of microbes, viruses and fungi that are dangerous for humans, which is hundreds of times greater than the capabilities of the most powerful antibiotics.

Silver is known as a natural antiseptic. Silver ions prevent the growth of bacteria, thereby preserving a healthy microflora (see http://faberlic-solo.ru/shop/573/desc/toothbrush-zubnaja-shhetka-dlja-vzroslykh).

Currently, thanks to the latest nanotechnology, it has become possible to saturate polymeric materials (for example, plastics) with silver ions in a concentration safe for humans. As a result of this, silver ions (having the unique property of long-term disinfection) inhibit the growth of bacteria on the protected (cleaned) surface. Ag + silver ions are environmentally friendly, colorless, odorless, completely harmless and non-toxic.

The antibacterial effect is achieved due to active silver ions (Ag +) in the nanostructure of the plastic surface, to which (i.e. silver ions Ag +) bacteria cannot adapt and die.

The mechanism of action of silver ions (Ag +) on microorganisms is as follows: active silver ions (Ag +) penetrate the bacterial cell membrane, and it loses its proteinase. Also, silver ions help to destroy the DNA of bacteria and microorganisms that die, having lost the ability to divide and reproduce.

However, as shown by scientific and practical research, the simple introduction of nanoparticles into the protected material does not give the optimal effect. The technology developed at the present stage provides for the use of a special sponge carrier, after technological processing of which at the molecular level it is embedded in plastic and works throughout the entire life of the product with bactericidal properties.

Thus, the patented universal toothbrush holder (when using the antibacterial effect described above) will have a number of advantages over conventional bactericidal stands known in the art. Silver "Ag +" ions in the material of the box-disinfector case allow achieving a long-lasting antibacterial effect, namely: they contribute to the destruction of pathogenic microflora on the surface of the working elements of toothbrushes of various modifications.

An example of the use of silver ions at present is, in particular, the products of TZK Technosnastka (Moscow), which on an industrial scale has begun to produce plastic dishes with an antibacterial effect.

This effect is achieved by implanting (incorporating) silver nanoparticles into the surface structure of the material from which the dishes are made, which create a protective self-cleaning film on the surface of the plastic that inhibits the growth of most harmful bacteria and fungi. For this, a special technology is used, developed on the basis of studying the properties of silver, the mechanism of interaction of its ions with bacterial microflora.

It should be noted that all products of TZK Tekhnosnastka LLC are certified and passed mandatory checks in special laboratories of Rostest. The results of research and testing confirm the environmental safety of this technology (see, http://plastinfo.ru/; http://posudka.ru/node/5498).

Therefore, this technology can be easily used in the manufacture of plastic boxes-disinfectors patented stand for toothbrushes.

In addition, Wells Plastics has developed the Bactiglas series of inorganic supplemented antimicrobial materials.

Special technology allows the introduction of silver ions into the polymer matrix, forming an ion-silver system. The latter simultaneously protects silver ions during processing and regulates their release to the surface of the finished product. In this system, silver ions are localized in the polymer matrix and are released only as a result of additional external influence, for example, the gradual hydrolysis of the matrix material in contact with a moist environment (for example, the vapor phase of water or UV radiation in combination with an electrostatic field). The high stability of the matrix makes it possible to successfully use ion-silver systems in many polymers. This technology is quite flexible and allows you to develop products for specific applications by changing the composition and size of particles, chemical resistance, changing the activity of the matrix, by controlling the process of release of silver ions. A wide range of products from antimicrobial materials is already being produced.

Therefore, this technology can also be easily used in the manufacture of disinfector boxes 26 of the patented universal multifunctional stand.

Ion-silver systems have low toxicity, which allows them to be used in personal care products, in particular in the patented universal multifunctional stand.

FDA approval and compliance with EU Directive 90/128 / EEC has been obtained for the use of the ion-silver systems in question.

In addition, one of the manufacturers of plastic telephones has expanded the product range by creating a tube that could be effectively used in clinics.

This handset was molded from a polycarbonate / ABS composition with Wells Plastics antimicrobial additive, which did not reduce the visual aesthetic properties (in particular, gloss) of the final product.

This once again confirms that the use of the considered antimicrobial additives in the surface layer of the box-disinfector does not damage its visual and aesthetic properties and, at the same time, will ensure not only the antibacterial effect of the box-disinfector body, but also the antibacterial effect of the dental brushes.

The results of scientific and practical studies have shown that a significant antimicrobial effect of suppressing the bacteria S.aureus and E.coli was achieved even when the bactericidal surface layer of the product material contained 0.5 percent of the ion-silver system concentrate.

It is important to note that the antimicrobial ion-silver system for each potential application must be correctly and carefully selected, and the effectiveness of a particular antimicrobial protection should be determined by the appropriate testing methodology.

In particular, Wells Plastics is expanding the field of application of antibacterial additives for plastics based on silver ions, namely, introducing their use in the field of medical equipment and other auxiliary and preventive devices used in medicine (http://bactiglas.ru/wp-content / uploads / 2013/08 /% D0% 91% D0% B0% D0% BA% D1% 82% D0% B8% D 0% B3% D0% BB% D0% B0% D1% 81_% D0% 9C% D0 % 90% D0% A0% D0% A2_% D1% 81% D1% 82% D0% B0% D1% 82% D1% 8C% D1% 8F_Komipak.pdf; or PLASTIC COP No. 3 (121) 2013, www.plastics. ru).

The work of the patented stand with the box-disinfector 26 (according to claim 3 of the utility model formula of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) regarding the physical principles of the disinfection process of the sterilized object is similar to the work of the above-described box-disinfector 26 (claim 2 of the utility model formula, Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 graphic materials).

However, in connection with its design, it has some features.

In particular, the spatially closed functional chamber 38 of the box-disinfector 26 completely eliminates the penetration of the radiation generated by the UV LED outside the volume of the functional chamber 38 without using any additional structural and functional means (in particular, the UV-absorbing coating 44 used in the embodiment the execution of the box-disinfector 26 according to claim 2 of the formula (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) .This increases the safety of using the patented device while simplifying its design.

In addition, the mutual mobility of the structural parts 5 and 6 of the box-disinfector 26 allows their use as a means of connecting-disconnecting the corresponding electrical means (UV LED 10 and installation-electrical element 9 / Fig. 3 /) to the corresponding energy sources. For this, the corresponding electrical connection diagram is used, and the connected or disconnected state of the mentioned electrical means is visually monitored by means of marks 21, 22, 23 and 24 (Fig. 3).

In addition, since the structural parts 5 and 6 of the disinfector box 26 are usually made of plastic (i.e., electrically insulating material), the UV-reflective electrically conductive mirror coatings are actually electrically insulated from each other. Therefore, these electrically conductive coatings can be functionally used as a means of creating an electrostatic field by ensuring their electrical connection with the corresponding poles ("+" and "-") of the corresponding energy source. The feasibility of creating this field when using silver ions as a disinfectant is disclosed above.

In addition, profiling of the internal reflective surfaces of structurally discrete parts 5 and 6 of the disinfector box 26 (see, for example, FIG. 5) allows the reflected UV radiation flux to be converted into diffuse (multidirectional chaotic) radiation. And this will allow disinfecting treatment of the working element of the toothbrush (for example, brush bristles) with UV radiation evenly from all sides, which is important from the point of view of the quality of sterilization.

Thus, the above information indicates the fulfillment of the following set of conditions when using the claimed technical solution:

- an object embodying the claimed technical solution in its industrial implementation is intended for use in the field of medicine, namely, in the field of auxiliary preventive dental devices;

- for the claimed object in the form described in the independent clause of the formula below, the possibility of its implementation using the means and methods described above or known from the prior art on the priority date is confirmed;

- an object embodying the claimed technical solution during its implementation is able to achieve the technical result perceived by the applicant - simplifying the design while reducing energy costs, as well as ensuring operational and environmental safety by using a UV LED with a quartz lens as a UV emitter (instead of a mercury gas discharge ultraviolet lamp), and, in addition, providing an additional private technical result - improving the quality of disinfection of the sterilized The object by sharing exposure to UV radiation and sterilization by silver ions and the expansion of functional possibilities of the claimed object by providing the possibility of its use for both electric as well as for conventional (manual action, mechanical) toothbrushes.

Therefore, the claimed technical solution meets the condition of patentability "industrial applicability" under applicable law.
