Definitions
- the invention relates to a toothbrush with a support surface formed on the handle with markings or inscriptions.
- a toothbrush with a lenticular thickening on the toothbrush handle which prevents the toothbrush handle from slipping through in a toothbrush stand up to the bristles.
- This thickening can serve as an emblem of the manufacturer or in different colors to differentiate between several toothbrushes.
- this thickening is less in dimension in the plane of the flat side of the toothbrush than the width of the toothbrush handle, so that it is not large enough to serve as a carrier surface to be able to serve for inscriptions.
- This toothbrush can only be suspended in a holder which has a narrowly delimited hole into which the handle fits, but the lenticular thickening cannot slip through.
- Toothbrushes should be kept clear in sales stands, but still tightly packed. This is not possible with the known toothbrush with the lenticular thickening.
- the object of the invention is to design a toothbrush of the type described in the introduction in such a way that not only a better differentiation from other toothbrushes, but also a safe hanging of the toothbrush, in particular in sales stands, is made possible.
- the design according to the invention not only creates a larger support surface for inscriptions, which provides better differentiation options, but the widening projecting beyond the grip contour in conjunction with the molded projections or hanging hooks enables the toothbrush to be securely hung in a holder, and not only for an excellent presentation in a shop, but also for the end user, which has the particular advantage that the toothbrush is given a permanent place.
- the brushes can also bleed and dry well. Furthermore, the tooth cup is not soiled by this suspension.
- the widening can be designed as a disc and have a circular, oval or polygonal outer shape. Furthermore, the widening or disc can be arranged directly at the free end of the handle or in the vicinity of the free end of the handle, and the end of the handle can then protrude beyond the widening or the disc. However, it is also possible for the widening or the disk to be arranged in the vicinity of the handle end facing the brush.
- An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the carrier surface is surrounded by a raised edge. This can in particular delimit labels arranged on the carrier surface and thus protect them against damage during use of the toothbrush.
- the widening or disc can have an outer shape corresponding to a stylized form of fairy tale, animal or fantasy characters or their heads.
- the widening can have the shape of the head of one of the Busch figures or the shape of the head of an imaginary figure.
- references to localities can also be provided as labels.
- the toothbrush which is denoted overall by 1 and comprises a brush body 2 and a handle 3, has a widening or disc 5 which are formed in the vicinity of the free handle end or directly at the free handle end .
- the widening or disc which has a carrier surface 9 for receiving the inscription or a label, protrudes clearly beyond the outer contour of the handle of the toothbrush.
- the carrier surface 9 for receiving the inscription and the labels is surrounded by a protruding edge 11, the one forms certain protection for the label stuck on and also enables several such adhesive labels to be stuck together without this being visible from the outside.
- sticking together is necessary if, for example, it turns out that certain names that are already glued to the toothbrushes are not removable, while other names are much more in demand, so that it is subsequently necessary to add the non-removable labels to others stick over.
- FIG. 1 A further special feature is shown in FIG. 1; it consists in the fact that in the edge region of the disk 5 lugs 12 are formed, whereby 3 recesses 13 are formed between these lugs and the handle. These hanging hooks formed from lugs 12 and recesses 13 serve to hang the brush on a stand which is provided with wire-shaped holders.
- the lugs or projections 12 face the brush body 2.
- the lugs 12 prevent the toothbrush from rotating, so that it hangs more securely with these lugs.
- the disc 5 is flat on its front side, on which it has the support surface 9, and shows a bulge on the rear side, which originates from the handle 3 .
- the carrier surface it is also possible to design the carrier surface not as a flat surface but as a convex or concave surface.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Zahnbürste mit einer am Griff ausgebildeten Trägerfläche mit Kennzeichnungen oder Beschriftungen.The invention relates to a toothbrush with a support surface formed on the handle with markings or inscriptions.
Bei einer bekannten Zahnbürste dieser Art (GB-A-351-159) sind Beschriftungsfelder vorgesehen, die entweder in den Zahnbürstengriff eingelassen oder durch eine Umrandung von der übrigen Griffläche abgegrenzt sind. Da diese Trägerflächen für Kennzeichnungen oder Beschriftungen nicht einmal die Breite des ohnehin schon schmalen Zahnbürstengriffes ausfüllen, fallen die Beschriftungen zwangsweise verhältnismäßig klein aus, so daß die durch die Beschriftung gewünschte Unterscheidungsfähigkeit zwischen verschiedenen Zahnbürsten nicht besonders deutlich ausfällt. Außerdem können Zahnbürsten dieser Art weder in Verkaufsständen noch im täglichen Gebrauch aufgehängt werden, es sei denn, daß sie mit einem Loch im Zahnbürstengriff versehen sind.In a known toothbrush of this type (GB-A-351-159), labeling fields are provided which are either embedded in the toothbrush handle or delimited by a border from the rest of the grip surface. Since these carrier surfaces for markings or inscriptions do not even fill the width of the already narrow toothbrush handle, the inscriptions are inevitably relatively small, so that the distinction between different toothbrushes desired by the inscription is not particularly clear. In addition, toothbrushes of this type cannot be hung in stalls or in everyday use unless they have a hole in the toothbrush handle.
Aus dem DE-U-1 858 317 ist eine Zahnbürste mit einer linsenförmigen Verdickung am Zahnbürstengriff bekannt, die ein Durchrutschen des Zahbürstengriffes in einem Zahnbürstenständer bis zu den Borsten verhindert. Diese Verdickung kann als Emblem des Herstellers oder in verschiedenen Farben zur Unterscheidung mehrerer Zahnbürsten dienen. Diese Verdickung ist jedoch in ihrer Abmessung in der Ebene der Flachseite der Zahnbürste geringer als die Breite des Zahnbürstengriffes, so daß sie nicht groß genug ist, um als Trägerfläche für Beschriftungen dienen zu können. Diese Zahnbürste ist nur in einem Halter aufhängbar, der ein eng begrenztes Loch aufweist, in den zwar der Griff hineinpaßt, die linsenförmige Verdickung aber nicht hindurchrutschen kann. Solche Halter sind zwar für den privaten Gebrauch üblich, sind aber wegen des Einfädelns in das Loch nicht besonders praktisch in der Handhabung und für Verkaufsständer, d. h. zur Aufbewahrung mehrerer Zahnbürsten, ungeeignet, da sie zuviel Raum benötigen würden, wenn man die Zahnbürsten jeweils in Löcher stecken würde. Außerdem leidet hierunter die Übersichtlichkeit. In Verkaufsständern sollen Zahnbürsten zwar übersichtlich, aber doch eng gedrängt aufbewahrt werden können. Dies ist bei der bekannten Zahnbürste mit der linsenförmigen Verdickung nicht möglich.From DE-U-1 858 317 a toothbrush with a lenticular thickening on the toothbrush handle is known which prevents the toothbrush handle from slipping through in a toothbrush stand up to the bristles. This thickening can serve as an emblem of the manufacturer or in different colors to differentiate between several toothbrushes. However, this thickening is less in dimension in the plane of the flat side of the toothbrush than the width of the toothbrush handle, so that it is not large enough to serve as a carrier surface to be able to serve for inscriptions. This toothbrush can only be suspended in a holder which has a narrowly delimited hole into which the handle fits, but the lenticular thickening cannot slip through. Such holders are common for private use, but because of the threading into the hole they are not particularly practical to use and unsuitable for sales stands, ie for storing several toothbrushes, since they would take up too much space if the toothbrushes were each placed in holes would be stuck. The clarity also suffers as a result. Toothbrushes should be kept clear in sales stands, but still tightly packed. This is not possible with the known toothbrush with the lenticular thickening.
Es ist zwar eine Zahnbürste bekannt (DE-U-1 993 022), bei der am Griffende eine Verbreiterung vorgesehen ist, doch nimmt diese Verbreiterung einen Spiegel auf, der ähnlich wie ein Zahnarzt-Spiegel zur Betrachtung der Zahnhinterseite dient. Diese seit langem bekannte Zahnbürste kann jedoch keine Anregung für die Ausbildung von Trägerflächen zur Aufnahme von Kennzeichnungen oder Beschriftungen bieten.Although a toothbrush is known (DE-U-1 993 022), in which a widening is provided at the end of the handle, this widening accommodates a mirror which, like a dentist's mirror, serves for viewing the back of the tooth. However, this toothbrush, which has been known for a long time, cannot provide any suggestion for the formation of carrier surfaces for accommodating markings or inscriptions.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Zahnbürste der eingangs erläuterten Art so auszugestalten, daß nicht nur eine bessere Unterscheidung gegenüber anderen Zahnbürsten, sondern auch ein sicheres Aufhängen der Zahnbürste, insbesondere in Verkaufsständern, ermöglicht wird.The object of the invention is to design a toothbrush of the type described in the introduction in such a way that not only a better differentiation from other toothbrushes, but also a safe hanging of the toothbrush, in particular in sales stands, is made possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Zahnbürste gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die mit Kennzeichnungen oder Beschriftungen versehene Trägerfläche auf einer in der Ebene der Flachseite des Griffes über die Griffkontur vorstehenden Verbreiterungen ausgebildet ist und daß die Verbreiterung zu beiden Seiten des Griffes jeweils einen angeformten Ansatz aufweist, die zusammen mit dem Griff Ausnehmungen begrenzen, die zur Aufnahme von Haltern dienen.This object is achieved according to the invention in a toothbrush according to the preamble of
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung wird nicht nur eine größere Trägerfläche für Beschriftungen geschaffen, wodurch bessere Unterscheidungsmöglichkeiten vorhanden sind, sondern durch die über die Griffkontur hervorstehende Verbreiterung wird in Verbindung mit den angeformten Vorsprüngen oder Aufhängehaken ein sicheres Aufhängen der Zahnbürste in einem Halter ermöglicht, und zwar nicht nur für eine herausragende Präsentation in einem Ladengeschäft, sondern auch für den Endverbraucher, was insbesondere den Vorteil mit sich bringt, daß die Zahnbürste hierdurch einen festen Platz erhält. Außerdem können die Bürsten gut entlüften und trocknen. Ferner wird durch diese Aufhängung der Zahnbecher nicht beschmutzt.The design according to the invention not only creates a larger support surface for inscriptions, which provides better differentiation options, but the widening projecting beyond the grip contour in conjunction with the molded projections or hanging hooks enables the toothbrush to be securely hung in a holder, and not only for an excellent presentation in a shop, but also for the end user, which has the particular advantage that the toothbrush is given a permanent place. The brushes can also bleed and dry well. Furthermore, the tooth cup is not soiled by this suspension.
Die Verbreiterung kann als Scheibe ausgebildet sein und eine kreisrunde, ovale oder polygonale Außenform aufweisen. Weiterhin kann die Verbreiterung bzw. Scheibe unmittelbar am freien Griffende oder in der Nähe des freien Griffendes angeordnet sein und das Griffende kann dann über die Verbreiterung bzw. die Scheibe hervorstehen. Es ist aber auch möglich, daß die Verbreiterung bzw. die Scheibe in der Nähe des der Bürste zugewandten Griffendes angeordnet ist.The widening can be designed as a disc and have a circular, oval or polygonal outer shape. Furthermore, the widening or disc can be arranged directly at the free end of the handle or in the vicinity of the free end of the handle, and the end of the handle can then protrude beyond the widening or the disc. However, it is also possible for the widening or the disk to be arranged in the vicinity of the handle end facing the brush.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Trägerfläche von einem erhöhten Rand umgeben ist. Dieser kann insbesondere auf der Trägerfläche angeordnete Etiketten abgrenzen und sie somit gegen eine Beschädigung während des Gebrauchs der Zahnbürste schützen.An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the carrier surface is surrounded by a raised edge. This can in particular delimit labels arranged on the carrier surface and thus protect them against damage during use of the toothbrush.
Die Verbreiterung bzw. Scheibe kann eine Außenform entsprechend einer stilisierten Form von Märchen-, Tier _ oder Fantasiefiguren bzw. deren Köpfe aufweisen. So kann beispielsweise die Verbreiterung die Kopfform einer der Busch-Figuren oder die Form des Kopfes einer Phantasiefigur aufweisen. Neben Vornamen oder Kosenamen können auch Hinweise auf Ortschaften als Beschriftung vorgesehen sein.The widening or disc can have an outer shape corresponding to a stylized form of fairy tale, animal or fantasy characters or their heads. For example, the widening can have the shape of the head of one of the Busch figures or the shape of the head of an imaginary figure. In addition to first names or pet names, references to localities can also be provided as labels.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird nachstehend näher erläutert. Es zeigt:
- Fig. 1 eine Absicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Zahnbürste;
- Fig. 2 einen Schnitt nach der Linie II-II in Fig. 1; und
- 1 shows an intention of a toothbrush according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a section along the line II-II in Fig. 1. and
Gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 weist die Zahnbürste, die insgesamt mit 1 bezeichnet ist und einen Bürstenkörper 2 sowie einen Griff 3 umfasst, eine Verbreiterung bzw. Scheibe 5 auf, die in der Nähe des freien Griffendes bzw. unmittelbar am freien Griffende ausgebildet sind.1 and 2, the toothbrush, which is denoted overall by 1 and comprises a
Die Verbreiterung oder Scheibe, welche eine Trägerfläche 9 für die Aufnahme der Beschriftung oder eines Etiketts aufweist, steht deutlich über die Außenkontur des Griffes der Zahnbürste hervor.The widening or disc, which has a carrier surface 9 for receiving the inscription or a label, protrudes clearly beyond the outer contour of the handle of the toothbrush.
Die Trägerfläche 9 für die Aufnahme der Beschriftung und der Etiketten ist von einem hervorstehenden Rand 11 umgeben, der einen gewissen Schutz für das aufgeklebte Etikett bildet und auch das Übereinanderkleben mehrerer solcher Aufklebeplättchen ermöglicht, ohne daß dies von außen sichtbar wäre. Ein solches Übereinanderkleben ist dann notwendig, wenn beispielsweise sich herausstellt, daß bestimmte Namen, die bereits auf den Zahnbürsten aufgeklebt sind, nicht absetzbar sind, während andere Namen wesentlich stärker gefragt sind, so daß es nachträglich erforderlich wird, die nicht absetzbaren Beschriftungen durch andere zu überkleben.The carrier surface 9 for receiving the inscription and the labels is surrounded by a
In Fig. 1 ist noch eine weitere Besonderheit dargestellt; sie besteht darin, daß im Randbereich der Scheibe 5 Ansätze 12 angeformt sind, wodurch zwischen diesen Ansätzen und dem Griff 3 Ausnehmungen 13 entstehen. Diese aus Ansätzen 12 und Ausnehmungen 13 gebildeten Aufhängehaken dienen dazu, die Bürste an einem Ständer, welcher mit drahtförmigen Haltern versehen ist, aufzuhängen. Die Ansätze bzw. Vorsprünge 12 sind dem Bürstenkörper 2 zugewandt.A further special feature is shown in FIG. 1; it consists in the fact that in the edge region of the
Aus der Darstellung ist ersichtlich, daß diese von der üblichen schlanken Griffgestaltung eindeutig abweichende Ausgestaltung dem Käufer auffallen muß. Aufgrund der Beschriftungen, die mannigfaltig sein können, wird aus dem üblichen Gebrauchsgegenstand, den die Zahnbürste zweifellos darstellt, ein Geschenkartikel, wodurch eine Absatzteigerung zu erwarten ist.From the illustration it can be seen that this clearly different design from the usual slim handle design must be noticed by the buyer. Due to the lettering, which can be varied, the usual commodity, which the toothbrush undoubtedly represents, becomes a gift item, which is likely to increase sales.
Die Anstätze 12 verhindern ein Drehen der Zahnbürste, so daß sie mit diesen Ansätzen sicherer hängt.The
Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Fig. 1 und 2 ist aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, daß die Scheibe 5 an ihrer Vorderseite, an der sie die Trägerfläche 9 aufweist, eben ausgebildet ist und an ihrer Rückseite eine Auswölbung zeigt, die von dem Griff 3 herrührt. Es ist aber auch möglich, den Übergang von der Scheibe zum Griff fließender zu gestalten. Außerdem ist es auch möglich, die Trägerfläche nicht als ebene sondern als konvexe oder konkave Fläche auszubilden.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 it can be seen from FIG. 2 that the
