Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to the creation of toothpicks, and more specifically to the creation of a toothpick set that can be carried and used.

B. Prior Art In the past, toothpicks were packaged in large lots and sold commercially, and it was common for users to divide the toothpicks into tabletop containers for use.

In addition, the tabletop container merely has the function of an indoor device designed to be used exclusively on the tabletop, and as far as the applicant is aware, the idea of carrying toothpicks in small portions has not existed in the past. It didn't exist.

C. Problems to be solved by the invention However, the conventional technology has the following problems, which are unbearably inconvenient in practical use.

First, due to its nature, the above-mentioned tabletop containers are only used at dining tables in restaurants and cafeterias outside of homes, and therefore toothpicks can only be used in these places, and toothpicks can only be used by hand in other places. There was an inconvenience that it could not be used because it did not fit in the case.

In other words, toothpicks are not easily available in private spaces such as work desks, washrooms, and inside cars, so the only option is to use them at the dining table.This is due to the recent trend that it is considered bad manners to openly use toothpicks in public. It was extremely inconvenient.

Also, especially among young women, there is a sense of shame in using toothpicks, and when they happen to be at a restaurant and a toothpick is not readily available at the table, they tend to hesitate to openly request one, and end up with a toothpick in their hands. It was inconvenient not to be able to enter.

On the other hand, from a safety standpoint, especially when there are children at home, storing toothpicks in a table container is recommended because there is a risk that the child may be injured by the tip of the toothpick or swallow it. There was an inconvenience in that the toothpicks had to be stored in a safe place, and as a result, they could not be used easily.

Furthermore, toothpicks left on tables used by an unspecified number of people, such as restaurants and cafeterias, are more problematic than from a hygienic point of view, and even if one wants to use them, it is inconvenient that they cannot be used due to hygiene risks. Ta.

D. Means for solving the problem The present invention consists of a combination of a container and a plurality of toothpicks housed in the container, and one side of a bifold cover-like member is further folded back to form a closed space. A box part is formed by this, and a plurality of holes into which the tips of toothpicks are inserted are bored on one side of the box part, and spices or medicines are sealed in the box part.

E. Effect Therefore, the present invention allows you to carry multiple toothpicks with you at all times, and at the same time allows you to take them out and use them whenever necessary, as well as use the folded box portion as a space for enclosing spices or medicines. These fragrances and medicinal effects are added to the tip of the toothpick inserted into the toothpick, creating an extremely complex effect.

F. Embodiments Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

(First Embodiment) In this embodiment, the container 52 is constructed by bending a flat plate into a bifold cover shape that can be opened and closed, and one side of the container 52 is folded back to form a closed space to form a box portion 52a. Configure.

A large number of holes 52c are formed in one surface of the box portion 52a, each having a diameter smaller than that of the toothpick 51, and the tip of the toothpick 51 is inserted into each hole 52c to house the toothpick in the container.

In this embodiment, as in the third embodiment, if the box portion 52a is filled with a filler 53 made of chemicals such as salt, spices such as mint, and disinfectants, the toothpicks will be filled with these scents. It becomes possible to add medicinal effects.

In this case, if both sides of the box part 52a are open, the filling will flow out, so as shown in the figure, it is necessary to match the shape of both sides or provide an overhanging part 52b on the container 52 in advance, so that the overhanging part is placed on the side of the box part. The sides of the box part are covered by bending it.

(Second Embodiment) In each of the above embodiments, an advertisement display consisting of letters and designs is applied to the surface of the container by means such as printing.

G. Effects The present invention configured as described above has the following unique effects.

(1) The toothpick set is made by storing multiple toothpicks in a portable container that can be opened and closed repeatedly, so you can carry the toothpicks anywhere you want, such as on your work desk, in the bathroom, in your car, or in your private life. It has become possible to use toothpicks easily in space.

(2) Since the toothpick is carried by the user rather than on the table, there is no need to store the toothpick in a tabletop container, and children can be prevented from being injured by the tip of the toothpick or swallowing it due to mischief.

(3) For the same reason as above, the toothpick can be used only for the user, and is extremely hygienic as it does not come into contact with unspecified number of hands.

(4) Toothpicks are something that everyone uses regardless of their preference, and the toothpick set of this invention is easy to carry due to its nature, so by placing an advertisement on the surface of the container, it can be used by various restaurants and restaurants. It can be used as a suitable advertising medium and promotional item for companies.
