Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to the improvement of toothbrush holders in mirror cabinets, bathroom vanities, and the like.

This type of toothbrush stand is often installed using the door of a storage area such as a mirror cabinet or washstand.For example, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, One in which a separate toothbrush stand B is freely attached and detached on the inside surface of the swinging door A (Fig. 1), and a fixed type in which the toothbrush stand D is integrally molded on the inside surface of the swinging door C. (Fig. 2) A holding plate F and a receiving plate G have insertion holes arranged in two horizontal rows on a door E that rotates in the vertical direction.
A toothbrush stand H made of
Fig.) etc. are known.

In these conventional structures, the structure shown in Figures 1 and 2 in which toothbrushes are arranged horizontally along the door,
It has the disadvantage that it requires a wide width and is not suitable for doors with limited width dimensions.Also, the rotating structure shown in Figure 3 can be installed even when the width of the door is narrow, but the toothbrush cannot be installed in two horizontal rows. Since they are arranged side by side, it is troublesome to attach and detach the ones on the rear row side, and since they are rotary, there is a drawback that the toothbrushes get scratched when operated.

Therefore, this invention can be installed with sufficient clearance even on doors with relatively small space and width restrictions, and it is easy to put in and take out toothbrushes, and it is possible to store a large number of toothbrushes in an orderly manner. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a toothbrush stand such as a mirror cabinet that can be stored in a mirror cabinet.

Next, this invention will be explained in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

In the illustrated embodiment, this invention is applied to a wall-mounted mirror cabinet 1, but it goes without saying that the invention can also be applied to a bathroom vanity or other bathroom equipment equipped with a storage section.

In the illustrated embodiment, a receiving plate 4 is provided integrally or separately along the lower edge of the inner surface of a side-opening door 3 attached to the front surface of the storage section 2 of the mirror cabinet 1. The receiving plate 4 has a semi-elliptical planar shape, so that there is no problem in opening and closing the door. The receiving plate 4 extends horizontally in the depth direction of the storage section 2, and has a pin 41 protruding from the center thereof.

A cylindrical toothbrush stand main body 5 is placed on the upper surface of the receiving plate 4 so as to be freely slidable, and a base shaft 51 of the toothbrush stand main body 5 is mounted.
The pin 41 is engaged with a pin insertion hole 52 provided at the lower end of the toothbrush stand main body 5 so that it can freely rotate horizontally on the receiving plate 4.

The cylindrical toothbrush stand body is made of a water-resistant material (synthetic resin, etc.) like the door 3 and the mirror cabinet, and includes a base shaft 51 and a top plate 53. Integrated internal partition 54
The top plate 53 is divided into cross-shaped or radial partitions, and toothbrush insertion holes 55 are provided in the top plate 53 according to each partition.

An upper partition 56, which is an extension of the internal partition 54, protrudes above the top plate 53, and acts as a partition wall to prevent the brush parts of toothbrushes inserted into each partition with their shafts facing downwards from touching each other. It also functions as a knob for rotating the toothbrush stand body and pulling it out from the pin 41 for cleaning.

In actual use, when the door 3 is opened, the receiving plate 4
The toothbrush stand body 5 placed on the toothbrush stand body 5 is pulled out to the front side of the mirror cabinet 1, and the toothbrush housed in the partition of the toothbrush stand body 5 is pulled out by rotating the toothbrush stand body 5 appropriately. All you have to do is remove the toothbrush, and it is extremely easy to put in and take out the toothbrush. Further, since the toothbrush stand main body 5 is placed on the receiving plate 4 with the pin 41 and the pin insertion hole 52 engaged, it can be easily removed from the receiving plate 4, and the internal partition 5
4. The upper partition 56 and the top plate 53 are also integral with the toothbrush stand main body 5, but they may be freely attached and detached, making it easy to clean the inside of the toothbrush main body. In addition, when increasing the number of toothbrushes,
The number of internal and internal partitions and the number of toothbrush insertion holes in the top plate may be shaped to match the number of toothbrushes.

As described above, according to this invention, the toothbrush stand main body is rotatably attached to the receiving plate provided on the inner surface of the side-opening door, and the toothbrush can be put in and taken out easily by rotating the toothbrush stand main body. Also, since the toothbrush stand itself is cylindrical, it does not require extra space and can accommodate an increase in the number of toothbrushes that can be stored, making it suitable for doors with limited width dimensions. It can be installed with plenty of room, and
The receiving plate that supports the toothbrush stand body is also semi-elliptical, so when the door is opened or closed, it will not hit the inside wall of the storage compartment, and there is no risk of it escaping and interfering with the opening and closing of the door.
It has practical functions and effects as a toothbrush holder built into a mirror cabinet or the like.
