[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, when using the brush container disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 39-29915, after the brush is used to clean the toilet bowl, while the brush is being moved to the place where the main body is placed, drops may drip and stain the floor or the main body. It can get dirty and is unclean. On the other hand, when using the cleaning supplies storage container disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 48-60356, the main body containing the brushes with handles can be carried to the cleaning position, but when the brushes with handles are put in the pile from the storage chamber, the There is a risk that the part may come into contact with the handle, which causes problems such as the lower surface of the handle becoming easily dirty and unclean.

Furthermore, when carrying the cleaning brush storage device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-42126, the brush is located in front of the carrying handle, so the center of gravity is located in front of the carrying handle. , difficult to carry stably. Further, since the handle is provided so as to straddle the recess formed in the peripheral wall portion of the container main body, the container main body and the handle cannot be easily integrally molded, which increases the manufacturing cost. Furthermore, since the handles are exposed, they tend to get dirty and become unclean.

The present invention was devised in order to solve this problem, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide a handle with a space that opens at the rear of the case in which the brush body is accommodated from the front. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a brush case which has a structure in which a handle connected to the brush case body extends to the front of the insertion part of the case body, so that the brush case can be carried stably without staining the hands and fingers, and can be easily molded. .

[Means to solve the problem]

The brush case according to the present invention is a brush case for storing a brush body of a brush with a handle formed by connecting a handle to the brush body, and includes a case body having an opening on the front side for inserting and removing the brush body. , a lid body whose lower part is pivoted to the lower part of the case body so as to freely open and close the opening, and a lid body having a brush receiving part for receiving the brush body on the inside; is formed with a concave groove through which the handle is inserted, and is opened only on the back side of the upper side of the case body, with the front end located in front of the concave groove, and a hole into which a finger can be inserted. It is characterized by having a handle.

[Effect]

If the brush body is received in the brush receiving part and the handle is inserted into the groove, the brush body can be stored in the case body, and if the handle is separated from the groove, it can be stored in the brush body, and the handle is separated from the groove. If you do this, you can remove the brush body from the case body. If you insert two fingers into the handle with the brush body stored in the case body, the fingertips will be located in front of the groove, and the center of gravity of the brush and case will be located in front of the fingertips so that the two fingers can be inserted into the handle. You can carry it stably with your fingers.
The handle opens only on the back side, which has nothing to do with putting in and taking out the brush body, and since the part where the fingers touch is the upper side of the empty space, dirt is most difficult to adhere to.

〔Example〕

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

Figures 1 to 6 show examples of the brush case according to the present invention, with Figure 1 being a perspective view showing the state in use, Figure 2 being a perspective view with the lid closed, and Figure 3 showing the brush case being open. Perspective view, Figure 4 is a rear view, Figure 5 is a bottom view,
FIG. 6 is a side sectional view at the center in the left-right direction.

This brush case consists of a case body 1 made of hard plastic and a lid body 2 that closes an opening 11 on the front of the case body. In other words, the opening 11 can be freely opened and closed.

The case body 1 has a trapezoidal shape in which the lower edge is longer than the upper edge when viewed from the side, and when viewed from the side, the rear edge, that is, the back surface, is substantially vertical, and the front edge, that is, the front surface, is inclined. The upper surface 16 has an arcuate shape that is tilted backward. A rectangular opening 11 is formed in the front, and a front wall 12 with a straight lower edge and an arcuate upper edge is formed in the upper part of the front, and a handle 31 of the brush 3 is located in the center in the left and right direction. A concave groove 13 is formed in the vertical direction for insertion. The front lower ends of the side walls 14, 14 extend forward in a tongue-like manner, and pivot holes 15, 15 are formed at the base ends thereof.

The lid body 2 consists of a front plate part 21 and a box-shaped brush receiving part 22 inside which has the front plate part 21 as one side wall. The size of the brush receiving portion is set to be suitable for receiving a brush body (not shown) connected to the tip of the handle 31. Bosses 2 are rotatably fitted into pivot holes 15, 15 at appropriate positions on both sides of the brush receiving portion 22.
3 and 23 are formed, and by fitting the bosses 23 and 23 into the pivot holes 15 and 15, the cover plate 2 is rotated in the front and rear direction to provide an opening 11,
Or it can be closed. The front lower edge of the lid body 2 is curved for smooth rotation.

Now, the features of the brush case devised in this application are shown in Figure 4.
As shown in FIG. 6, it is formed by the front wall 12, a plate part constituting the top surface 16, and the horizontal ceiling surface 17 of the case plate 1, and has an opening on the back side of the case body 1 for inserting a finger. The handle 18 is formed by providing a blank space. The handle 18 or the inner front side of the empty space is located forward of the groove except for the groove 13b.

In the thus constructed product, as shown in FIG. 3, the lid 2 is opened, the brush body is inserted into the brush receiving portion 22, and the handle 31 is rotated toward the groove 13. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the brush will be in a vertical position and a stable storage state will be obtained.

Next, when cleaning the toilet bowl with the brush, grasp the handle 31 with your right hand, rotate it toward the front to open the lid, and take out the brush 3. After washing the toilet bowl with this brush, after properly draining the water inside the toilet bowl, the brush body is inserted, and the handle 31 is rotated toward the groove 13 to close the lid. During such use, or when moving the product for cleaning the brush or the brush case itself, insert at least two fingers upward into the cavity of the handle 18 from the back side and press the groove 13. There should be at least one finger on each side of the back side of the body, and all you have to do is lift it up so that it reaches as deep inside as possible.

[Effect of idea]

In this way, the tip of the finger can be positioned in front of the planar position of the center of gravity of the case and the plush, that is, approximately in front of the position of the groove 13, so that it is possible to stably hold and move them. The handle 18 is formed as a hollow space covered by the upper surface 16 of the case body 1, and is open on the back side, which is not related to the insertion and removal of the brush body, so it is difficult for dirt to get in, especially when touching fingers (their pads). Since the area (part 2) comes into contact with the top surface of the cavity, dirt cannot adhere to it, and it can be handled without feeling unclean.

Moreover, since the handle 18 is formed by opening on the back side of the case body 1, it can be easily integrally molded with the case body 1, and manufacturing costs can be reduced.
