It is known that because of the large number of these articles, the user usually only uses one of them in practice and that generally only the toothbrush is used.

That fact is obviously why for Oral and especially dental care is done too little so that it is only carried out incompletely and improperly.

This drawback is based in particular on the fact that if one looks for complete, proper oral care If you want to use the necessary articles, you are forced to keep these articles among others in the bathroom every time Finding out articles that are there and that prevent you from quickly finding the desired article.

Another disadvantage here is that the oral care or dental care items are usually in open containers such as keeping drinking glasses from which they can easily fall out; this fact is for a regular, consistently carried out dental and oral care hardly of any use.

10 corresponds so that the side edges with the inner surface these wall parts are in contact.

The second side 12b of the L-shaped part 12 has such a height that the deposited on the support plate Articles are held at the correct height and in such a position that they can be easily removed.

According to the embodiment, which should by no means limit the invention, the height of the side 12b of the L-shaped part 12 about a third of the total height of the device.

After the support plate 12 has been inserted into the body 1, it is supported by a longitudinal rib 13 which is provided on the rear wall part 2 of the device (Figures 2, 3 and 4). At the end opposite this end, becomes the support plate 12 is held in the position of use by the fact that the side 12b is supported on the bottom of the body 1, or that this side is retained by the nose 8 of the lid 7, which prevents removal from the body 1.

The support plate 12 is arranged to be removed from the body 1 can be removed again. This readily possible removal (Figure 1) is done to the support plate and the rest of the Clean arrangement at certain times.

It can also be seen from FIGS. 1, 5, 6 and 7 that the support plate 12 is provided at one of its ends with a protruding part 14 which is a substantially cylindrical Has shape that serves as a proppant for a drinking glass.

In the next part, the support plate 12 has six Holes 15 for receiving a corresponding number of toothbrushes. According to the illustrated embodiment, it is extended

each hole 15 down below the end 12a in one of a corresponding number of sleeves 15a, each of which serves to receive a toothbrush, so that the brush can not come to lie at the bottom of the body 1 _o However, it is of course possible to do without sleeves 15a If the diameter of the holes 15 is dimensioned so that the respective toothbrush cannot fall through the holes 15 in the support plate.

The support plate 12 is also provided in the area of the holes 15 with two further holes 16, which in diameter are slightly larger than the holes 15 "These holes have a sleeve 16a that extends downward from the side 12a of the support plate extends. Each of the holes 16 serves to receive in particular at least one tube of toothpaste =

The support plate 12 is ultimately at the end opposite the downwardly extending part 14 with an im essentially cuboid-shaped shell 17 fitted, to others To accommodate articles that cannot be arranged regularly in the support plate, such as in the holes. The bottom 17a of the In the exemplary embodiment, shell 17 is approximately half as high as side 12b of support plate 12, although it is clear that " that the depth of the shell 17 can be dimensioned differently »

The shell 17 is in particular for receiving one or more toothbrush threads and lozenges for identification laid out by plaques on the teeth »But it can also be used to hold one or more mouthwash containers such as for liquid use Cleaning of the support plate 12 or the body 1 is shown, after which the support plate 12 is pushed back into the body 1 is to regain the position of use according to Figure 3 »The device according to the invention can be made of any materials produce.

Figure 4 is a top view of the closed body;

Figure 5 is an end view of the support plate for the Zahnputzbzw. Oral care items;

FIG. 6 is a view from above of the support plate; and

Figure 7 is a side view of the support plate in the direction of Arrow F of FIG. 6.

Referring to Figures 1-4, it can be seen that the device according to the present invention comprises a body, which essentially has the shape of a parallelepiped-shaped box that can be attached to a wall. To this end one side 2 of the wall of the body is provided with two holes 3 for receiving known fasteners such as e.g. dowel screws etc. are used.

The body 1 is open on its side opposite the side 2 attached to the wall. The body is also partially open at the top at 5, as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 3, from which it can be seen that the one forming this side Wall part 6, starting from side 2, extends over slightly less than half of side 5.

A folding part 7 is at the lower end of the wall part 4 of the body 1 pivotally attached. This folding part preferably has an L-shaped cross section, the width of which Width of the wall part 4 corresponds, while its sides 7a and 7b have a length that corresponds to the height of the wall part 4 or correspond to the width of the open part of page 5 (see also Figure 3).

If the cover 7 moves from the open position, shown in broken lines in FIGS. 1 and 3, into the brought closed position according to Figures 2 and 4, the body 1 is completely closed.

The pivot connection (Figure 3) between the folding part 7 and the body Ί comprises a lateral nose 8 of the lid 7, which faces the body 1 »The nose 1 here has a hole to pass through corresponding holes 9 in the body 1 to accommodate the swivel axis »

As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 3, the flap part 7 is extended into a downward-reaching one Part 7c, which lies with the side 7a of the folding part 7 in one plane.

This part 7c (Figures 3 and 4) limits the opening movement of the flap part T ₉ so that it is forced to maintain a horizontal position. The part 7c also forms a handle which makes it easier for the user to open the flap part 7.

In particular with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 it can be seen that at the upper end of the wall parts 10 of the body 1 there are ribs H arranged essentially in the longitudinal direction, which are located below the upper edge of the wall parts 10, and on which the side 7b of the Lid 7 comes to rest in the closed state »In this way, the conditions for a stable arrangement of the lid in the closed state or a proper closing of the device are guaranteed.

From FIG. 1 and FIGS. 5 to 7 it can be seen that the device according to the invention comprises within the body 1 a support plate indicated as a whole by reference number 12 " which is available for receiving and supporting all articles required for complete and proper oral care"

The support plate 12 has essentially the shape of an L-shaped part which can be inserted into the body 1. "The upper side or", surface 12a of the L-shaped part 12 has a width that corresponds to the distance between the wall parts

Preferably, but not necessarily, the device according to the invention can be made of a plastic, its inherent properties and advantages correspond to the intended purpose of the device, in particular e.g. the body advantageously made of ABS plastic, while the folding part 7 made of acrylic resin or polycarbonate plastic will.

It can be seen without further ado that the device according to the invention is still partially or completely made of a metallic material Material can be produced.

Furthermore, it is clear that various changes can be made, in particular the number and the Relate to the mutual arrangement of the various exceptions and supports, without thereby affecting the scope of protection of the invention leaving.

The part 14 extending downwards can be replaced, for example, by a recess or a hole.
