Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a toothpaste cap containing a tube, in which a tube of toothpaste is fitted onto the cap in an inverted manner, and the handle end of a toothbrush is inserted and supported. It was made so that it could be done.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Normally, toothbrushes used in homes, etc., are placed directly on a relatively narrow shelf near the sink, or placed in a cup, etc., unless the sink is equipped with a toothbrush holder. In the same way, tubes of toothpaste were generally stored horizontally on a shelf or the like.

In any case, as previously mentioned, toothbrushes and toothpaste were stored separately,
In addition to the inconvenience caused when brushing teeth, the shelf becomes cluttered and the narrow shelf surface cannot be used effectively.

[Means for solving problems]

In view of these circumstances, the present invention has a cap that has one flat surface, and has a closing part into which the toothpaste tube opening can be inserted, and an engagement hole into which the toothbrush handle end can be inserted, at appropriate intervals on the other side of the cap. By maintaining and providing it, the above-mentioned problems can be solved all at once.

Furthermore, a method of making the cap Y-shaped or cross-shaped was also used.

[Effect]

In the present cap having the above structure, the toothpaste tube is turned upside down and its opening is fitted into the closing part, so that the toothpaste inside descends to the opening side by its own weight, while the toothbrush By engaging the handle end of the toothbrush into the engagement hole, the toothpaste and toothbrush can be integrally supported and stored.

Further, a Y-shaped or cross-shaped cap has the function of stably inserting and supporting a plurality of toothbrushes at the same time.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention will be described in more detail according to the embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 is a cap made of synthetic resin, with one side having a flat base and the other side containing a tube of toothpaste C. A closing part 2 that can be screwed together with the extraction opening is provided, and at least one engagement hole 3 is recessed at an appropriate distance from the closing part,
The handle end of the toothbrush H can be inserted and supported in this part.

Therefore, when using the cap of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, first the cap should be opened with its closing portion 2 and engaging hole 3.
Place the toothbrush H on the shelf with the side facing upward, screw the extraction opening for the toothpaste C in the tube into the closing part 2 to close the opening, and insert the handle end of the toothbrush H into the engagement hole 3. Once inserted, the tubed toothpaste C and the toothbrush H are maintained upright and can be placed stably on a shelf or the like.

Furthermore, when the handle end of the toothbrush is inserted into the engaging hole 3 of the cap, the engaging hole 3 has a structure that can be elastically opened and contracted even slightly, so that when the handle end of the toothbrush differs in size However, it is certainly something that can be supported upright.

Further, as for the fitting method of the cap and the toothpaste tube, in addition to the above-mentioned screw fitting, tapered fitting and other arbitrary means can be selected.

Furthermore, the shape of the proposed cap is not limited to the circular shape shown in FIG. 1, but may be Y-shaped or cross-shaped with engaging holes 3 recessed near each end, as shown in FIG. It may also be possible to provide support for multiple toothbrushes.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, the cap of the tubed dentifrice of the present invention has one side of the cap as a flat base, and the other side has a closing part into which the extraction opening of the tubed dentifrice is inserted, and an engagement hole that serves as a toothbrush holder. Since the tube is recessed, it is possible to always store the tube and toothbrush together in an upright position, making it extremely convenient to handle them and making effective use of narrow shelf space. . Furthermore, since toothpaste tubes placed horizontally on a shelf or the like can be stored with their extraction openings facing down, the toothpaste in the tubes descends to the opening side due to its own weight. A special effect is obtained in that the toothpaste can be easily extracted.

Furthermore, a Y-shaped or cross-shaped cap has a wider base, making it more stable to support the toothpaste tube or toothbrush.
