Background of the invention

Obviamente, a la hora de comercializar un cepillo de dientes se hace preciso mantenerlo en un contenedor totalmente estanco, utilizándose al efecto habitualmente envases tipo "blister", es decir de los que cuentan con una base de cartón o similar, soporte de la información inherente al cepillo, y una envolvente de plástico transparente que permite la visualización a su través de dicho cepillo.Obviously, when marketing a Toothbrush it is necessary to keep it in a container totally waterproof, usually using packaging type "blister", that is to say those that have a base of cardboard or similar, support for the information inherent to the brush, and a transparent plastic envelope that allows the visualization through said brush.

Este tipo de envases cumplen perfectamente su función durante la fase de comercialización del producto, pero sin embargo deben ser destruidos para extraer su contenido por parte de los respectivos usuarios.This type of packaging perfectly meet your function during the product marketing phase, but without however they must be destroyed to extract their content by the respective users.

Existen también envases complementarios de los anteriores, destinados a guardar y proteger el cepillo durante la vida útil del mismo, que cumplen satisfactoriamente su función.There are also complementary packages of above, intended to store and protect the brush during Its useful life, which satisfactorily fulfill its function.

Sin embargo en la actualidad y para proteger los cepillos dentales desde el momento de su utilización hasta su eliminación al término de su vida útil, se hace preciso disponer de dos envases distintos, con la consecuente y negativa repercusión que ello supone desde el punto de vista económico.However at present and to protect the toothbrushes from the moment of use until their elimination at the end of its useful life, it is necessary to have two different packages, with the consequent and negative impact that this implies from the economic point of view.

Por otro lado, tanto los envases de uno como de otro tipo están previsto para un único cepillo de dientes, cuando en la práctica existen usuarios que utilizan dos cepillos distintos e incluso tres.On the other hand, both the containers of one and of other type are planned for a single toothbrush, when in practice there are users who use two different brushes and even three.

Description of the invention

El estuche que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, en los diferentes aspectos comentados.The case proposed by the invention resolves the problem was fully satisfactory before exposed, in the different aspects commented.

Para ello y de forma mas concreta dicho estuche se materializa en un cuerpo monopieza, preferentemente obtenido a base de resina trasparente, de manera que dicho estuche tiene un peso muy reducido, es de tacto suave y resulta muy dúctil y flexible.For this and more specifically said case it materializes in a single piece body, preferably obtained at transparent resin base, so that this case has a Very low weight, it is soft to the touch and is very ductile and flexible.

El citado cuerpo, de configuración general prismático rectangular alargada en correspondencia con el tamaño de los cepillos, se materializa en dos valvas abisagradas mediante charnelas a base del material constitutivo del propio estuche y dotadas de medios de cierre contrapuestos a su línea de abisagramiento.The aforementioned body, of general configuration elongated rectangular prismatic corresponding to the size of the brushes, is materialized in two hinged leaflets by hinge based on the material of the case itself and equipped with closing means opposed to its line of hinge

Una de estas valvas se prolonga, por uno de sus extremos, en un anillo que queda situado en correspondencia con el imaginario plano medio del estuche y cuya evidente finalidad es permitir su colgado de un gancho expositor o cualquier otro soporte similar de los habitualmente utilizados en los establecimientos en los que se comercializa este tipo de productos.One of these leaflets is prolonged, by one of its ends, in a ring that is located in correspondence with the imaginary middle plane of the case and whose obvious purpose is allow its hanging from a display hook or any other support similar to those commonly used in establishments in those that commercialize this type of products.

El cierre de las citadas valvas se lleva a cabo con la colaboración de aletas complementarias establecidas en la embocadura de las mismas, asegurándose con la colaboración de pivotes de considerable longitud, que emergentes en una de las valvas se introducen en alojamientos cilíndricos y ciegos operativamente establecidos en la otra.The closure of the aforementioned leaflets is carried out with the collaboration of complementary fins established in the embocadura of the same, making sure with the collaboration of pivots of considerable length, which emerge in one of the leaflets are introduced in cylindrical and blind housings Operationally established in the other.

Finalmente y de acuerdo con una de las características esenciales de la invención, una de las citadas valvas incorpora interiormente dos alineaciones transversales de pivotes, similares a los de cierre, que utilizados por parejas constituyen a modo de pinzas elásticas que permiten la fijación de los cepillos, fijación que se complementa, en el caso de utilizar cepillos de reducido tamaño, con la colaboración de otro pivote contrapuesto y situado en la otra valva, y que actúa como tope de retención para el cepillo evitando la salida del mismo de la pinza correspondiente.Finally and according to one of the essential characteristics of the invention, one of the aforementioned leaflets internally incorporates two transverse alignments of pivots, similar to the closing ones, used in pairs they constitute like elastic clamps that allow the fixation of the brushes, fixing that complements, in the case of using small brushes, with the collaboration of another pivot opposed and located in the other leaflet, and that acts as a stop of Retention for the brush avoiding the exit of the same one of the pinza correspondent.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como el estuche que se preconiza está constituido mediante dos valvas (1 y 2), sustancialmente simétricas, que en su conjunto definen un bloque prismático rectangular, y que están unidas con carácter monopieza a través de charnelas (3), convenientemente distribuidas a lo largo de uno de los bordes longitudinales de su embocadura, contando además dichas valvas (1 y 2), a nivel de la citada embocadura, con aletas (4 y 5), ligeramente desfasadas hacia dentro con respecto a las propias caras de las valvas de las que emergen y dispuestas alternadamente, como se observa en la figura 1, de manera que en situación de cierre dichas aletas (4 y 5) determinan un acoplamiento machihembrado entre valvas, que asegura la debida estabilidad del estuche, y mas concretamente la ausencia de deformaciones a nivel de las embocaduras de las dos valvas constitutivas de su cuerpo.In view of the figures outlined you can observe how the case that is recommended is constituted by means of two leaflets (1 and 2), substantially symmetrical, which in their set define a rectangular prismatic block, and that are united with a single-piece character through hinges (3), conveniently distributed along one of the edges longitudinal of its mouth, also counting said leaflets (1 and 2), at the level of the aforementioned mouth, with fins (4 and 5), slightly outward inward with respect to one's own faces of the leaflets from which they emerge and arranged alternately, as seen in figure 1, so that in a situation of closing said fins (4 and 5) determine a coupling tongue and groove between leaflets, which ensures the proper stability of the case, and more specifically the absence of deformations at the level of the mouths of the two constituent leaflets of his body.

Para estabilizar y asegurar la posición de cierre del estuche, se ha previsto que una valva (1) de las anteriormente citadas incorpore en su zona marginal opuesta a la línea de bisagras (3), interiormente y en puntos intermedios y extremos, sendas expansiones cilíndricas (6) afectadas cada una de ellas por un orificio axial y ciego (7), estando cada orificio (7) destinado a recibir ajustadamente en su seno a un pivote (8) de la otra valva (2), de manera que la inserción de dichos pivotes (8) en los orificios (7) de las expansiones (6), asegura un cierre perfecto del estuche, que no obstante resulta fácilmente practicable.To stabilize and secure the position of closure of the case, it is expected that a leaflet (1) of the previously mentioned incorporate in its marginal zone opposite to the hinge line (3), internally and at intermediate points and extremes, cylindrical expansions (6) affected each of they through an axial and blind hole (7), each hole (7) being intended to receive a pivot (8) of the another leaflet (2), so that the insertion of said pivots (8) in the holes (7) of the expansions (6), ensures a closure perfect case, which nonetheless easily results practicable.

Una de las valvas (1) está provista a nivel de su embocadura, y mas concretamente en correspondencia con uno de sus extremos, de una prolongación determinante de un anillo (9) que permite la suspensión del estuche, con su contenido, de cualquier expositor apropiado.One of the leaflets (1) is provided at the level of its mouthpiece, and more specifically in correspondence with one of its ends, of a determining extension of a ring (9) that allows the suspension of the case, with its contents, of any Appropriate exhibitor

A partir de esta estructuración para el cuerpo del estuche, la esencialidad de la invención consiste en la existencia en una de las valvas citadas, concretamente en la valva referenciada con (1), de dos alineaciones trasversales de pivotes (10), que emergen con carácter monopieza del fondo de la valva (1) y que configuran a modo de tres pinzas dobles al definir entre ellos espacios (11) elásticamente deformables, existiendo concretamente en el ejemplo de realización práctica de las figuras tres espacios (11) capaces de recibir a sendos cepillos de dientes, inmovilizándolos en el seno de las respectivas pinzas.From this structuring for the body of the case, the essentiality of the invention consists in the existence in one of the aforementioned leaflets, specifically in the leaflet referenced with (1), of two transverse pivot alignments (10), which emerge as a single piece from the bottom of the leaflet (1) and that configure as three double clamps when defining between they (11) elastically deformable spaces, existing specifically in the example of practical realization of the figures three spaces (11) capable of receiving two toothbrushes, immobilizing them within the respective clamps.

Lógicamente el distanciamiento entre cada pareja de pivotes (10) adyacentes, es el adecuado para conseguir el citado efecto pinzante sobre el cuerpo de los cepillos de dientes, pero puede darse la circunstancia de que algún cepillo sea mas estrecho y no quede convenientemente fijado por los pivotes (10), a cuyo efecto se ha previsto que en la otra valva (2) exista un pivote único (12), contrapuesto a los anteriores, pero desfasado con respecto a los mismos en orden a situarse en posición de cierre para el estuche en la zona intermedia entre dos pivotes de la valva base (1), "cerrando" la pinza constituida por éstos últimos.Logically the distance between each couple of adjacent pivots (10), is suitable for achieving said pinching effect on the body of toothbrushes, but it may happen that some brush is narrower and is not properly fixed by the pivots (10), at whose effect is provided that in the other valve (2) there is a pivot single (12), as opposed to the previous ones, but out of date with with respect to them in order to be in the closed position for the case in the intermediate zone between two pivots of the base leaflet (1), "closing" the clamp constituted by the latter.

Como se deduce de la estructuración descrita y como ya se ha mencionado con anterioridad, el estuche puede ser utilizado indistintamente en la comercialización de los cepillos y en la posterior utilización de los mismos a nivel de usuario, y está capacitado para contener uno, dos o tres cepillos de dientes, debidamente estabilizados en su interior.As deduced from the structuring described and As already mentioned before, the case can be used interchangeably in the marketing of brushes and in their subsequent use at the user level, and is capable of containing one, two or three toothbrushes, properly stabilized inside.
