2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, a toothbrush stand (11) as shown in FIG. 5 has been provided (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 49-612).
issue). The toothbrush stand (11) is provided with a plurality of (for example, six) toothbrush support grooves (14) in a bottom portion (12A) of a box (12) having a lid (13) pivotally mounted on a front surface, and a toothbrush paste tube support on an upper portion. A frame (15) is provided, and a cup supporting frame (16) is provided from the side. In the toothbrush stand (11), the support groove
A toothbrush (17) is supported on (14), a toothpaste paste tube (18) is placed on the support frame (15), and a cup (19) is supported on the support frame (16).

[0003]

The above-mentioned conventional toothbrush stand (11) can stand up to six toothbrushes (17), for example. However, it becomes large, the space efficiency of the washroom deteriorates, and about three people There is no use for small families. In a family of 6 or more, two or more toothbrush stands (1
Although 1) is required, for example, when two are provided, as many as 12 toothbrushes (17) can be set up, and in the case of a family of about eight, there is no use. Further, the brush portion (17B) of the toothbrush (17) comes into wide contact with the bottom plate (12A) of the box (12), which is unsanitary.

Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, as a means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, a base (2),
A pair of left and right bifurcated toothbrush support frames (3, 3) protruding from the upper part of (2), a tube receiving frame (4) protruding from the lower part of the base (2), and the toothbrush support frame (3,3) difference from inside the tip
It issued it from the tube Idaku Tomeude (5) is, the toothbrush support frame and (3,3) the tube receiving frame (4), the toothbrush which is supported in the tooth brush support frame (3,3) ( The present invention provides a toothbrush stand (1) in a positional relationship such that the handle (17A) of (17) does not interfere with the tube receiving frame (4).

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described with reference to one specific example shown in FIGS. The toothbrush stand (1) of the present invention comprises a base (2) in the shape of a rounded triangle, and a pair of left and right bifurcated protrusions projecting upward from the base (2) so as to be inclined upward toward the tip. A toothbrush support frame (3, 3) and a semi-cylindrical tube receiving frame (4) protruding below the base (2), and a toothbrush is provided between the forks of the support frame (3, 3). Insertion slots (3A, 3A) are formed, and the slots (3A, 3A) are set so as to gradually increase in width toward the outside, and are provided inside the front ends of the support frames (3, 3). A tube holding arm (5, 5) is extended from the tube, and a stopper plate (6) is provided at the tip of the tube receiving frame (4).

[0006] The toothbrush stand (1) is manufactured by, for example, injection molding of a synthetic resin.
Die-cut holes (7, 8) are formed at the root end of the tube receiving frame (4).

The toothbrush stand (1) is wasteful according to the number of members of the family, such as one for a family structure of two or less, two for a family structure of three or four. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is fixed to a washroom wall (10) via a double-sided tape (9). Then, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the support frame (3, 3)
Insert the handle (17A) of the toothbrush (17) into the slot (3A, 3A)
The brush portion (17B) of the toothbrush (17) is supported by the support frames (3, 3). At this time, since the width of the slot (3A, 3A) is set to gradually increase outward, the handle (1) of the toothbrush (17) is
7A) is easily inserted into the slots (3A, 3A). In this state,
Toothbrush (17) of the handle (17A) is a tube receiving frame (4) and so as not to interfere, setting the positional relationship between the support frame and (3,3) tube receiving frame (4).

In the toothbrush stand (1), the toothbrush is
Since the contact area between the lower end of the brush portion (17B) of (17) and the support frame (3, 3) is small, it is sanitary. Further, since the support frame (3, 3) is provided so as to be inclined upward toward the front end as described above, the toothbrush (17) supported by the support frame (3, 3) is not provided. Slipping from the tip of the support frame (3, 3) is reliably prevented.

Further, the tube (18) of the brushing paste is vertically received on the tube receiving frame (4). The tube (18) is supported on the left and right by support frames (3, 3), and the front is supported by tube holding arms (5, 5) of the support frame (3, 3).

[0010] As described above, the support frame (3, 3) has a function of supporting both the toothbrush (17) and the tube (18). Frame (3,
It is appropriate to set the inclination angle θ of 3) to about 3 °.

[0011]

As described above, the toothbrush stand of the present invention is provided as described above.
(1) Since one can support two toothbrushes (17), the number of members in the family can be increased without waste, the space efficiency of the washroom can be improved, and the toothpaste paste can be used. The tube (18) can also be supported. Also, since the contact area between the support frame (3) and the brush portion (17B) of the toothbrush (17) is small, it is extremely sanitary, and furthermore, the support frame (3) and the receiving frame (4) are mounted on the base (2). Easy to wash because it protrudes from
