Definitions
- the invention relates to a toothbrush holder as a storage for Toothbrushes, with a toothbrush mug that is adjacent to his upper edge an insertion opening for the handle-shaped toothbrush handle has the boundary edge that in the insertion opening inserted toothbrush handle in the inserted position overlaps at least in certain areas.
- Such a toothbrush holder is already known from WO 98/06312 in the form of a toothbrush mug, which is used to apply the Toothbrush handle in the horizontal position, on the Toothbrush mug placed toothbrush at one of the insertion opening diametrically opposite area of the cup rim one Has support area for the handle-shaped toothbrush handle.
- the toothbrush lies with the brush head facing area of the back of the toothbrush handle on the Edition on.
- the upper one serving as an abutment point Border edge of the insertion opening engages in the brush head area facing away from the inside of the toothbrush handle.
- the distance between the contact point and the abutment point smaller than the distance from the center of gravity of the toothbrush to that end of the toothbrush handle facing away from the brush head, so that the support point and the abutment point each pressurized with part of the weight of the toothbrush become.
- the toothbrush held approximately in a horizontal position is through the support at their two investment points against one at the Tilting moment attacking toothbrush as far as that of the tooth cup layer stabilizes that applying toothpaste with just one Hand is possible without the toothbrush tilted sideways and the toothpaste falls off the brush. This can in particular elderly and / or one-armed, disabled people the toothpaste easier apply to the brush.
- the previously known toothbrush holder in practice to stabilize the position of the toothbrush Applying the toothpaste has proven, it is still in need of improvement.
- the toothbrush mug holding the toothbrush can also be applied the toothpaste as a whole change its position, for example by sliding sideways.
- a cup holder is provided with an approximately hook-shaped holding part which with a Hook extension the upper edge of the toothbrush mug in the area of reaches behind the insertion opening and on the underside of the Toothbrush tumbler a support point for the toothbrush tumbler shows that when parked on the support center in Toothbrush tumbler located in the rest position above the rim of the toothbrush tumbler a space for movement is provided in which the toothbrush tumbler can be raised in a stroke position that the hook extension a passage opening facing the inside of the insertion opening has the toothbrush handle to form a shear clamp connection for the toothbrush handle in the rest position a part of the free Cross-section of the insertion opening covered, and in the lifting position at least for the passage of the toothbrush handle partially releases and that the cup holder at least one attacking the toothbrush tumbler at least in the lifting position Tilt stop.
- the toothbrush tumbler is thus on the holding part in the rest position turned off that the wall of the Hook extension a part of the free cross section of the insertion opening of the toothbrush mug covered. From the rest position is the Toothbrush tumbler can be brought into a stroke position by the Brush head facing away from the rear end of the handle part of the toothbrush inserted into the insertion opening of the toothbrush cup and the toothbrush tumbler by lifting and / or pivoting the handle part the toothbrush is raised. A possible Tilting movement of the toothbrush tumbler through the tilt stop Cup holder limited.
- the toothbrush can therefore be used with only one hand be brought into a holding position on the toothbrush holder, in which the toothbrush is stabilized against lateral tilting.
- the two abutment points are on one arranged area of the handle part facing away from the brush head and there is an area of the handle part facing the brush head on the back of the cup rim.
- the two at the passage opening of the hook extension and the insertion opening of the toothbrush mug formed abutment points and the focus of the toothbrush are arranged to each other so that by the between the the hook extension located second abutment point and Focus of the toothbrush formed lever arm and gravity the torque caused by the toothbrush is greater than that in torque acting in the opposite direction by the between the abutment points of the hook process and the Toothbrush cup located lever arm of the handle and the attached attacking weight force component of the toothbrush cup formed is.
- the toothbrush is at three in its direction of extension fixed from spaced apart locations, namely on the one hand on the two on the toothbrush tumbler And on the other hand at the opening of the Cup holder.
- the toothbrush holder according to the invention enables therefore a good position stabilization of the toothbrushes.
- tilting moments acting around the longitudinal axis of the toothbrush as they do for example, when handling the toothpaste tube clumsily can occur if this is the bristle field of the toothbrush touched by the area covering the insertion opening Shear clamp connection formed through passage opening supported.
- the toothbrush can advantageously be opened with only one hand brought to the toothbrush holder in a simple position be so that the toothbrush holder in particular one-armed, handicapped people simply apply the toothpaste to the Toothbrush allows.
- the holder can, for example, at least a fastening point for connecting to a building wall or have a base that the holder by its weight in Holds position.
- the Hook extension in the interior of the toothbrush cup where on the the free end of the hook extension facing away from the passage opening the tilt stop is arranged and this tilt stop at least in the stroke position of the toothbrush cup on the inside on one of the Insert opening opposite wall area of the toothbrush tumbler attacks.
- the hook extension engaging in the toothbrush mug then allows easy positioning after brushing your teeth of the toothbrush cup removed from the cup holder on the Cup holder, with the engaging in the toothbrush cup, with the free end of the hook extension pointing downwards when plugging on of the toothbrush cup on the cup holder a lateral guide of the toothbrush tumbler.
- the cup holder expediently has in addition to that of the Insert opening of the toothbrush cup associated with the passage opening at least one additional insertion opening with a receiving point and a spaced abutment for the toothbrush handle on, the support point in the use position in a Brush head facing area on the back of the approximately horizontal position located toothbrush handle and the abutment in one the area facing away from the brush head on the inside of the Toothbrush handle attacks and being the center of gravity with her Handle part into the toothbrush inserted in the additional insertion opening the side of the support point facing away from the abutment point is arranged.
- the toothbrush can then be used to apply the toothpaste even without the toothbrush tumbler on the cup holder in a horizontal position be fixed.
- the additional insertion opening can, for example be formed by a wall opening in the hook extension. If necessary, the cup holder can be used to hold toothbrushes with different dimensions even several additional insertion openings with different cross-sectional dimensions, these additional insertion openings preferably on the hook extension are arranged.
- the underside of the toothbrush tumbler attacking support point of the holding part when at rest toothbrush mug located at the insertion opening of the Toothbrush tumbler facing side of the center of gravity of the toothbrush tumbler, preferably at one below the insertion opening located edge region of the toothbrush mug base is arranged.
- the gravity acting on the toothbrush mug then causes in the rest of the toothbrush tumbler a tilting of the toothbrush tumbler relative to the cup holder, which leads to the insertion opening of the toothbrush cup adjacent edge of the toothbrush cup the passage opening is positioned against the hook extension.
- the toothbrush tumbler can then be inserted into the passage opening inserted handle part of the toothbrush into the insertion opening raised even more easily from the rest position to the lifting position become.
