1 Claim. (Cl. 161-1) This invention relates to a dental rack and edge in a bead 5 and which providesa recepe timer and has for its primary object to provide, tacle for a tube or i can of dentifrice, as indiin a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device cated at 6. Projecting from the forward face of such character by means of which a tube or of the base member 1, in spaced relation to the 5 can of dentifrice and a plurality of tooth curved bottom 4;, are a pair of brackets '7, the B0 brushes may be conveniently supported in con central portions'of which are arranged in spaced nection with a rotatably mounted time glass relation to the forward face of the base member adapted to operate for the length of time re- 1 in order that the handles of tooth brushes, quired to properly brush the teeth, thereby resuch as 8, may be inserted between the central ducing the likelihood of the teeth being neglected portions of the brackets and the forward face 65- thrcugh a mere perfunctory brushing thereof. of the base member for supporting the tooth A further object of the invention is to probrushes. Although two of the brackets 7 are vide a device for the purpose aforesaid which shown projecting from the base member 1, the may be utilized as a reminder to children that number of brackets may be increased, as desired.
the teeth should be brushed regularly and prop- Secured to the forward face of the base mem- 70 erly, and which further oifers an inducement ber 1, adjacent the center of the latter, is a supfor children to properly care for their teeth port 9 for a t m glass The pp 9 is u owing to the fascination of watching the matestantially in the shape of a cylinder having an rial within the time glass flow from one end open side 11 and open ends 12. The support 9 2o portion thereof to the other. is pivotally connected with the base member 1 7 A further object of the invention is to proby means of a suitable stud 13 which extends vide a device of the character aforesaid which through the support and base member, and the may be effectively cleaned by merely holding the ends of which are upset to respectively bear same under an open faucet, whereby the device against the rearward face of the base member may be maintained in a sanitary and attractive and the forward face of the support. Extending 80 condition with a minimum of effort. across the open ends 12 of the support are a With the foregoing and other objects in view, pair of ears 14 which slightly converge in a dithe invention consists of the novel construction, rection away from the base member and which combination and arrangement of parts as hereare provided in their opposing faces with depresinafter more particularly described, and as illussions 15 for the reception therein of projections 85 trated in the accompanying drawing wherein is 16 formed on the ends of the time glass 10. The shown an embodiment of the invention, but it time glass 10 is slightly less than half filled with is to be understood that the description and a suitable material such as fine sand, indicated drawing are to be taken as illustrative and that at 17, and the restricted central portion 18 of the invention is intended to be limited only by the time glass is of appropriate diameterto per- 90 the scope of the claim hereunto appended. mit the material 17 to flow through the restricted In the accompanying drawing in which like portion 18 in approximately two minutes, the numerals are employed to designate like parts time ordinarily required for the proper brushing Referring to the drawing in detail, the nutimer, the support 9 should be swung around its meral 1 indicates a verticallly disposed support pivot 13 to position the indicia 19 at the upper or base member which is of flat formation and end of the support, and the brushing operation formed intermediate its side edges with an upof the teeth should continue throughout the wardly projecting portion 2 provided with an entire length of time necessary for the material 105 opening 3 for the passage therethrough of a 17 to flow from the upper end portion of the time suitable holdfast device by means of which the glass to the lower end portion thereof. In the base member may be secured to a wall or the evening or night use of the rack and timer, like. The base member 1 is formed with a the support 9 should be again swung on its pivot curved bottom 4 which terminates at its free to position the indicia 20 at the upper end of the 10 support in order that the material 1'7 may again flow through the restricted central portion 18. The indicii 19 and 20 serve as reminders that the teeth should be brushed twice a day and will always correspond with the time of day after the teeth have been brushed at the proper time.
The support 9 for the time glass 10 including the ears 14 forming a part of the support, is of slightly resilient material in order that the time glass may be conveniently removed therefrom if desired, and in order that the time glass may be readily replaced in case the same should become broken.
It is thought the many advantages of a dental rack and timer in accordance with this invention will be readily apparent, and although the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to, so long as such changes fall within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claim.
What I claim is:
In a dental rack and timer, a vertically disposed stationary support having an opening intermediate its ends, a revoluble suspension'element permanentlypositioned against the front of said support and formed of'a hollow body part of uniform cylindrical cross section atany point throughout its length, said body part open at its front from end to end, said body part being formed centrally of its back with an opening registering with the opening in said support,
means extending outwardly from said support,
through said registering openings and connected :to said body part and support for revolubly suspending said element and for connecting the latter against the front of the support, and a pair of opposed resilient coupling arms converging towards each other, integral at their rear ends with and extending from the ends of said body part, said arms being of materially less width
