健用具100以免受水分及/或濕氣危害的方式被包 裝。口腔保健用具100從一近端1〇1延伸至一末端 102並包含一頭部112與一把手114。口腔保健用具 100包含一位於近端101之尾部部分1〇3,以及一位 於末端102之頭部部分104。頭部112可能是一種可 移除地連接至把手114之替換頭部(refiu head)或一種 永久連接至把手114之構造。大多數的把手114及頭 部112之一部分可能由各種剛性材料(包含但不限於 201238840 ^膠彳权料)所模造。—種適當賴性材料係為 聚丙稀-然而,如热習本項技藝者將知道的,可能使 用其他剛性材料。 在所顯不的實施例中,σ腔保健用具刚之尾部 。[5刀103(其係在設有頭部112之頭部部分刚的相反 位,)包含-口絲健配件,其在例示實施例中為一 牙籤116。牙冑116最好是由一彈性及軟性熱塑性彈 性?所組成。正如頭部112,牙籤116可能是一替換 牙籤,其可移除地連接至把手114或可能永久地連接 至把手114。牙籤116提供一種用以現場清潔牙齒之 間的機構。形成-軟性熱塑性彈性體之牙籤116提供 一種在牙齒之間的更舒服的鄰間清潔。然而,牙籤116 可以由-種類似於把手114之主要部分之堅硬的剛性 材料所構成’或可以只是—種黏接或反向安裝於把手 114之末端之橡膠或彈性體又籤(pick)(:或者,一種例 如-牙線帶或—舌清潔元件之㈣的配件可能裝設 至口腔保健用具100之尾部部分103。此外,在本發 明之某些實施例巾,π腔保削具·無法包含一配 件或可包含多重配件。 頭部112包含一清潔元件區塊122。清潔元件區 塊122包含複數個從頭部114延伸之刷毛。清潔元件 區塊122之刷毛可能屬於任何期望的形狀。舉例而 5 ’刷毛可以是屬於圓桂形形狀,其它們的整個長度 具有-樣的直徑。或者,刷毛從根部逐漸變細,於此 201238840 它們從頭部122延伸至它們的外清潔端。吾人理解清 潔元件區塊122可包含其他清潔元件。 再者,口腔保健用具100之各種元件之尺寸最好 是小的。因此,舉例而言,清潔元件區塊122之每個 刷毛可從頭部112向外延伸一段不大於10mm且較好 是不大於8mm而最好是不大於6mm之距離。於此使 用錐狀的清潔元件,根部直徑應該不大於l,5mm,更 好是在0.5mm與1mm之間,而最好是不大於〇.3mm。 直徑之尺寸可接著隨著與頭部112之距離減小。最好 的情況是,整個口腔保健用具1〇〇之長度不大於5 吋,更好是不大於4吋而最好是在2至4吋之範圍内。 一由清潔元件區塊122所包圍之頭部114之中央 部分包含一凹部或空穴,用以保有一可破裂的凝膠膠 囊或氣泡132。凝膠膠囊132係以一 口腔保健材料(例 如一流體溶液)填滿,用以清潔或另外提供一使用者 之口腔健康益處。口腔保健材料可能是牙粉、牙膏、 '✓承齒滅膠、漱口水或一類似的牙膏或口腔衛生產$, 或其之一組合。凝膠膠囊132係為對濕度敏感的且應 被保護免受高濕氣環境影響,以便避免過早的破裂。 換言之,凝膠膠囊132或其之至少一部分在遭受到"一 高濕氣環境時易受退化影響,其乃因為吾人已發現一 高濕氣環境中之空氣的濕氣會降低凝膠膠囊132之 完整性。因此,理想上是可在使紅前以保護凝膠膠 囊132免受濕氣與液體水分影響的方式包裝口腔保 11 201238840 健用具100。 凝膠膠囊132盛裝並塗敷一口腔保健材料至口 腔保健用具頭部112之牙齒清潔元件122上,而最後 至一使用者之牙齒及口腔保健表面。如上所述,口腔 保健材料可能是牙膏、一凝體、一漱口水,或一類似 的牙膏或口腔衛生產品,或其之一組合。凝膠膠囊 132最好是一種具有一包含脆弱的、薄的壁面之殼(其 在摩擦牙齒時容易破裂或爆裂)之充液式凝膠膠囊。 在一較佳實施例中,凝膠膠囊132在遭受到濕氣時退 化’因此,在與一使用者之唾液混合時溶解。當一使 用者之唾液使凝膠膠囊132之壁面退化並溶解時,盛 裝於其中之口腔保健溶液被***。雖然凝膠膠囊132 之退化係為一種用以由消費者達成口腔保健用具1〇〇 之最終用途之期望特徵,但在產品製造、包裝、出貨 及在零售商店展示期間,凝膠膠囊132之水分驅動的 退化顯現出相關於適當地保留凝膠膠囊132之完整 性的關鍵所在。 凝膠膠囊132或其之至少一部分在不僅遭受到 與液態水直接接觸亦遭受到長期暴露至具有一高濕 度等級之環境時易受退化影響。吾人已發現一高濕氣 可使凝膠膠囊132之完整性退化,且過早排出口 腔保健材料或導致口腔保健材料完全變乾。當然,將 導致凝膠膠f 132之退化之正確的濕度等級與暴露 時間將根據-逐案的基礎而被決定,藉以將這種因素 12 201238840 視為被使用之凝膠膠囊132之型式,口腔保健材料之 型式,以及口腔保健用具1〇〇所遭受到的熱循環。鑒 於上述情況’理想上是可將凝膠膠囊132(且可能地整 個口腔保健用具100)設置於一形成一密封空穴之包 裝,於其中布署口腔保健用具100之至少凝膠膠囊 132 ’藉以保護凝膠膠囊132免受可以是以一高濕氣 環境或液態水之形式存在的外部濕氣影響。在某些實 施例中,密封空穴可能是密封著。 在本發明之一個較佳實施例中,包含頭部112、 把手114與牙籤116之口腔保健用具100之整個構 造,係藉由使用一種一般使用於口腔保健用具之製造 之習知之雙料射出成型操作,而被模造成一整體構 ^。這可使口腔保健用具1〇〇被經濟地且快速地製 造。雖然可能以多樣化的尺寸、形狀與相對尺寸建構 口腔保健用具100,但口腔保健用具1〇〇較好是具有 一小輪廓,俾能使它容易攜帶且可被小心地使用。於 一實施例中,頭部112較好是小到足以一次覆蓋單 齒,且把手114較好是實質上比習知之每日口腔保健 用具把手來得薄。 在某些實施例中,因為打算使口腔保健用具1〇〇 成為小且輕量兩者,所以口腔保健用具100之重量較 好是僅3克。小尺寸允許口腔保健用具1〇〇被完全握 在一成人使用者之手的手掌之内。頭部112最好是按 尺寸被製造成對應至一個別牙齒或一個別牙齒與鄰 13 201238840 間區域之尺寸。雖然可以以任何適當的形狀製作頭部 112,但較好是圓形或循圓形形狀,並具有不大於 13mm之一最大橫向尺寸或直徑,更好是不大於 12mm且最好是不大於llmm。當然,口腔保健用具 100並未受限於任何特定尺寸或形狀。 吾人應理解到本發明並未受限於上述口腔保健 用具100。雖然將與複數個口腔保健用具1〇〇結合說 明本發明的包裝’但吾人應理解到如以下所探討的可 包裝其他口腔保健用具。在本發明之某些實施例中, 除非在巾請專利範圍巾詳細規定,㈣包裝絕不會受 限於口腔保健用具100之構造。在例示實施例中,布 署在包裝之内的口腔保健用具1〇〇係為一種可棄換 的口腔保健用具,具有__預塗敷口腔保健材料,且必 須受保護以彡響。^,在料其他實施例 中,一習知之牙刷或任何其他型式之口腔保健用具可 能被布署在包裝之内,不論其是否必須受保護以^受 濕氣影響及/或包含一預塗敷口腔保健材料。如於此 所使用的,敷意味著口祕健材料係與0腔保健 用具結合打包出售。 同時參見圖3-5,顯示-種包含複數個口腔保健 用具100之包裝3〇〇。包褒3〇〇被設計成維持 =容納口腔保健料卿之子俾能使以凝膠膠 囊132之型式存在的預塗敷口腔保健材料受到保 免於由於濕氣及/或水分之退化。當然,在容納在包 A^884〇 /^300之内的口腔保健用具並不需要被保護以免受 痛氣退化影響的實施例中’包裝3〇〇不需被密封著^ 包裝300大致包含一具有形成一空穴3〇5之一環 ,髮面302之管狀本體3〇1。在例示實施例中,環狀 302具有一圓形橫向剖面輪廓。當包裝3〇〇係被 \叶成用以配置在一車輛之一杯架時,圓形橫向剖面 輪摩形狀是有利的。在這樣的實施例中,包裝3〇〇最 = <具有一在60-80mm之間的直徑Di。在某些其他 =施例中,包裝300可呈現一錐形(未顯示),以使包 攻3〇〇之直徑〇1於—包裝3〇〇之頂端3〇3係大於一 1¾ 300之底端304,或反之亦然。當然,本發明並 許雙限於此,且在某些其他實施例中,環狀壁面3〇2 之横向剖面輪廓幾乎可以是任何形狀,包含但不限於 長方形、梯形、橢圓形、三角或其他多邊形。 包裝300包含複數個安置在空穴305之内的内壁 ^10 °内壁310將空穴305分成複數個子空穴306。 每一個子空穴306包含一頂端308與一底端309。在 例示實施例中’内壁310形成一壁面之直線網格組織 (gridwork)。當然’本發明並非受限於此,且内壁31〇 可呈現任何其他形式,只要内壁31〇將空穴305分成 複數個子空穴306即可。 睛單獨參見圖4,更詳細顯示此直線網格組織。 直線網格組織係為一内壁310之較佳實施例,因為當 環狀壁面302具有一圓形橫向剖面輪廓時’其使被使 15 201238840 用之空穴空間之數量最大化。在利用-環狀壁面302 之圓形橫向剖面輪叙例示實施例巾,某些子空穴 306是空的,因為它們並未大到足以容納其中一個口 腔保健用具100於其中。然而,如上所述當包裝 3〇〇被儲存於-車輛杯架時,圓形橫向剖面輪廓是較 佳的。在環狀壁面302之橫向剖面輪廓是長方形的實 施例中,内壁310可能以一迪卡兒(Cartesian)網格組 織之型式存在,以便使所使用的空穴空間最大化。每 一個子空穴306可能是相同尺寸或不同尺寸。舉例而 言’在不同型式之口腔保健用具儲存於包裝3〇〇中之 實施例中’每一個子空穴306可以是不同尺寸以儲存 不同型式之口腔保健用具。簡單地說,在所有實施例 中,子空穴306之數目與尺寸絕不會限制本發明。 再同時參見圖3-5,包裝300之底端304係由一 底盤307所包圍。底盤307係耦接至環狀壁面302以 及每一個内壁310,俾能密封複數個子空穴306之每 一個之底端309。如以下將更詳細說明的,在某些實 施例中,底盤307係為一與環狀壁面302以及内壁 310分離之元件,並於製程之一後來階段被裝設至環 狀壁面302與内壁310。當然,本發明並非受限於此 且在某些其他實施例中,底盤307可能與包裝300之 其他元件一體形成。 在例示實施例中,一個口腔保健用具100係正確 地被布署在每一個子空穴306之内。因此,在這樣的 201238840 只方C*例中,母個子空六之橫向剖面尺寸大概在 6-20mm之間,而更好是在i〇_15nim之間。當然,子 空穴306之尺寸可能大於或小於於此所討論的範 園,以便容納較大或較小的口腔保健用具,或將單一 個以上之口腔保健用具100容納於其中。 口腔保健用具100係被配置在子空穴3〇6中,俾 能使口腔保健用具100之尾部部分1〇3鄰近子空穴 306之頂端308,並使口腔保健用具1〇〇之頭部部分 104鄰近子空穴306之底端309。依此方式將口腔保 健用具100置於子空穴306中,可提供給使用者更容 易緊握口腔保健用具1〇〇以供從子空穴3〇6 如以下將更詳細說明的。當然,除非在申請專利範圍 中詳細列舉的,否則本發明並未受限於在子空穴3〇6 之内的口腔保健用具100之特定配置。 包裝300包含一密封複數個子空穴3〇6之每一個 之頂端308之薄膜32〇。更明確而言,薄膜32〇被裝 設至環狀壁面302之一頂端邊緣312與内壁31〇之一 頂端邊緣31卜因此,環狀壁面3〇2、内壁3ι〇、底盤 3〇7以及薄膜32〇之—組合建立—種在複數個子空穴 3〇6之每—個之内的環境,則吏每個子空穴306係相 關於其他子空幻06以及相關於-包袈外部之環 境(例如大氣環境)被密封。在使用那個子空穴3〇6内 之特定口腔保健料之前,建立—種在由其他子 空穴306之每一個所密封之複數個子空穴3〇6之每一 5 17 201238840 個之内的環境,可幫助維持一種在每一個子空穴306 之内的無水分環境。在某些實施例中,子空穴306係 密封著。 薄膜320最好是一種包圍包裝300之整個頂端 303之薄板材料,藉以亦包圍每一個子空六306之頂 端308。薄膜320可以譬如但不限於一疊層片、一鋁 箔、一蠟紙或一塑膠薄板。薄膜320最好是彈性的, 但在某些實施例中可能是剛性的。再者,如熟習本項 技藝者將熟知的,任何可以密封每一個子空穴306之 頂端308之其他材料亦可用於薄膜320。薄膜320可 藉由許多手段(包含黏著劑、熱接合、靜態、摩擦或 其組合)而裝設至管狀本體301之頂端邊緣(或表面)。 於一實施例中,薄膜320實質上是一種透明材 料。藉由從一透明材料當中建立薄膜320,一使用者 可容易地經由薄膜320看穿每一個子空穴‘306以判定 一 口腔保健用具100是否被配置於其中。藉由允許一 使用者看透薄膜320亦可允許使用者挑選他或她希 望在不同型式之口腔保健用具係儲存於包裝300之 實施例中取得的口腔保健用具100。然而,本發明並 非受限於此,且薄膜320可能是半透明的或不透明 的。再者,薄膜320可能以任何包含一單色或一圖案 著色配置之期望方式被塗色。在某些實施例中,一由 不同顏色的薄膜段321所組成之圖案著色配置可表 示給使用者儲存於包裝300中之不同型式之口腔保 18 201238840 健用具。 薄膜320分為彼此可分離的複數個薄膜段321。 薄膜段321並未受限於包含隨後分為多段之單一薄 膜之一實施例,但又包含各別應用薄膜32〇之完全分 離且不同的段之實施例。於一實施例中,薄膜段321 可能是覆蓋包裝300之整個頂端3〇3(其隨後藉由預先 削弱薄膜320上之部分322而劃分成多個薄膜段321) 之單一薄膜。不管薄膜段321如何被建立,薄膜段 321集體形成薄膜320。再者’吾人應理解每一個子 空穴306之頂端308係由一對應的其中一個之薄膜段 321所密封。 薄膜320係以下述方式被麵接至包裝3〇〇 :可獲 得接達至單一個子空穴30ό而其他子空穴3〇6維持彼 此密封且與外部環境密封。為了得以接達單一個子空 穴306,密封那個特定子空穴3〇6之薄膜段321必須 被移除、貫穿或反向被開啟,俾能使子空穴3〇6不再 被溥膜段321所覆蓋或密封。在某些實施例中,薄膜 段321岔封子空穴306。在例示實施例中,將薄膜32〇 劃为成多個薄膜#又321之預先削弱的部分322係為在 鄰近薄膜段321之間的薄膜32〇之部分。具體言之, 薄膜320之預先削弱的部分322係為伏在鄰近薄膜段 321之間的内壁310之頂端邊緣311上面並裝設至其 之薄膜320之部分。在例示實施例中,薄膜32〇亦具 有一覆蓋於環狀壁面310之頂端邊緣312上之預先削 19 201238840 弱的部分322。然而,在某些其他實施例中,伏在環 狀壁面310之頂端邊緣312上面之薄膜32〇之部分並 非是預先削弱的。預先削弱的部分322可能是位於鄰 近薄膜·^又321之間的穿孔接縫、熱削弱接縫或切縫。 如上所述’為了得以接達其中一個子空穴306以 供移除布署於其中之口腔保健用具100,必須操控密 封那個特定子空穴306之薄膜段321。操控薄膜段321 包含移除或貝穿薄膜段321或以其他方式在覆蓋一 特定子空穴306之薄膜段321之區域中建立一在薄膜 32〇中之開口,俾能使子空穴306不再由薄膜段321 所覆蓋。由於預先削弱的部分322,薄膜段321容易 被貫穿或被移除。具體言之,當將一力量?施加至複 數個薄膜段321之一選擇的薄膜段323(其正包圍複數 個子空穴306之一選擇的子空穴)時,薄膜32〇沿著 圍繞選擇的薄膜段323之預先削弱的部分322破裂。 如此,選擇的薄膜段323變成與其餘之薄膜32〇分 離,且形成一條從外部環境進入被選擇的薄膜段323 斤达封之選擇的子空穴316之通道。吾人應理解到, 1量F最好是一使用者之手指向下按在選擇的薄膜 ,323上之力量。然而,本發明並非受限於此且可 ,由壓著選擇的薄膜段323之-物體或以任何如熟 ^本項技藝者將理解之其他方式獲得力量F。 在某些未顯示之其他實施例中,每一個薄膜段 321可具有_能夠被一使用者緊握之對應的凸出部。 20 201238840 在2樣的實施财’當制者想要得崎達選擇的子 空穴31=時,使用者緊握此凸出部,並拉選擇的薄膜 段323遠離子空穴,以便提供一條進入選擇的子空穴 316之通道。不管選擇的薄膜段323如何***控以建 立條進入選擇的子空穴316之通道,一旦開啟選擇 的子空穴316,布署在選擇的子空穴316中之口腔保 健用具100就會露出。如此,使用者將能夠緊握口腔 保健用具100並從選擇的子空穴316移除它以供使 用。如上所述,口腔保健用具100之尾部部分103較 佳是被安置鄰近子空穴306之頂端308。此乃因為口 腔保健用具100之尾部部分1〇3小於頭部部分1〇4, 所以其對一使用者而言將變得更容易緊握口腔保健 用具100並從子空穴3 06移除它。 在使用者緊握口腔保健用具1〇〇並從其對應的 子空八306移除它之後’使用者可使用口腔保健用’星 以清潔他或她的口腔。凝膠膠囊132不是藉由溶解在 使用者之唾液,就是被使用者之牙齒所刺穿而將在使 用之時破裂’且使用者之牙齒以及其他口腔表面將從 凝膠膠囊132之内容物獲得益處。在如上所述之某些 實施例中’ 口腔保健用具100係意欲為一次性使用所 用且因此可棄換。因此,在使用之後,使用者可藉由 置換口腔保健用具100來捨棄口腔保健用具1〇〇返回 進入從其而來之選擇的子空穴316中。如此,包裝 300可在使用之前被使用以作為一用以儲存口腔保健 21 201238840 用具100之容器,而在使用之後被使用以作為一用以 捨棄口腔保健用具100之廢紙簍。如果包裝300按尺 寸被製造並設計成用以適合在一車輛之杯架之内’則 這將避免使用者讓使用過的口腔保健用具100散開 在車輛之内。 在某些實施例中,如以下將參考圖7與10更詳 細說明的,薄膜320亦是可重複密封的。一使用者可 發現僅讓使用過的口腔保健用具100未被覆蓋地安 置在子空穴306中是不具有吸引力的。因此,藉由重 新密封薄膜320,從視線中可以阻擋使用過的口腔保 健用具100。 在某些實施例中,包裝300亦包含一密封蓋(未 顯示)。以下將參考圖9詳細討論一密封蓋之一個實 施例。然而,密封蓋可呈現任何已知的密封蓋實施 例。具體言之,密封蓋可能是一卡扣、壓接、干涉配 合或其他型式之覆蓋薄膜320上面之子空穴306之頂 端308之密封蓋。更明確而言,密封蓋將被耦接至管 狀本,301 ’俾能使薄膜320位於密封蓋之一底部表 官狀本體301之間。此密封蓋將避免薄膜320在 製仏、包裝、出貨以及於一零售店展示以供銷售給一 最終用戶期間過早被刺穿,被開啟或被移除。此密封 蓋最好是由與包裝_之其他元件相同的材料所構 以下將討論的。然而’只要密封蓋能保護薄膜 於過早刺穿,那麼密封蓋可以由任何材料所組 22 201238840 成。於此所討論的任何一個實施例(是否顯示有一密 封蓋)可能與一密封蓋一起被製造、出貨,展示並銷 售0 單獨參見圖5,將說明一種包含一乾燥劑380之 包裝300之貫施例。在某些實施例中,乾燥劑380係 安置在包裝300之内,以便移除可能滲入包裝3〇〇之 子空穴306之任何水分。因此,包裝3〇〇更包含一個 安置在每一個子空穴306之内的橫向板36〇,其將每 一個子空穴306劃分為一上部腔室362與一下部腔室 363。概念上,包裝300可被視為包含大致平行於底 盤307之橫向延伸橫越過空穴305全部之單一橫向板 360。上部腔室362延伸在薄膜320與一橫向板36〇 之上表面364之間。同樣地,下部腔室363延伸在一 橫向板360之下表面365與底盤307之上表面312之 間。在例示貫施例中’橫向板3 60係一體形成為具有 環狀壁面302與内壁310之一整體部件。以下將更詳 細說明涉及建立具有乾燥劑380之包裝3〇〇之製程。 在例示貫施例中’橫向板360包含複數個開口部 361,每一個開口部361提供一條在子空穴3〇6之上 部與下部腔室362、363之間的通道。換言之,對每 個子空穴306而言’在上部腔室362之内的空氣能夠 經由開口部361而朝下流進下部腔室363,且反之亦 然。如從以下之討論將更好理解的,在布署於複數個 子空穴306之每一個之内的橫向板360之一部分中較 23 201238840 佳是存在有至少一開口部361。這將允許空氣在每一 個子空穴306中之上部與下部腔室362、363之間循 環。在例示實施例中,在每一個子空穴3〇6之橫向板 360中有三個開口部361。然而,本發明並非受限於 此,且依期望在橫向板360中可以有更多或更少的開 口部361。再者,吾人應理解在某些其他實施例中, 可完全省略橫向板360。 在例示實施例中,乾燥劑380被布署在下部腔室 363中》乾燥劑380可能是任何材料,已知其係在一 適度地良好密封的容器中之局部附近引發或維持一 乾燥狀態。乾燥劑380可能譬如是,但不限於石夕膠、 硫酉夂約、氯化辦、蒙脫石黏土(montmorillonite clay)、 刀子篩、米、鹽等等。可能使用現在已知的或後來發 現的其他乾燥劑,其可維持在一密封容器之内的一乾 燥狀態,同時不會將任何毒素傳送至布署在子空穴 306之内的口腔保健用具1〇〇。 口腔保健用具100被布署在上部腔室362中。因 此,整個包裝300只需要在高度上大到足以容納口腔 保健用具_(其可祕2至4 # —樣小)與乾燥劑 38〇(其可能只是布署在下部腔室363中之-層鹽)。 由於榼向板360中之開口部361,乾燥劑380將 吸收任何在上部與下部腔室362、363之任-個之内 的水刀’其乃因為在子空穴3()6内之空氣將經由橫向 板中之開口部361而自由地在上部與下部腔室 24 201238840 362 ' 363之間流動。因此,乾燥劑38〇將移除過多 的濕氣,否則其將使上部腔室362内之口腔保健用^ 100退化或潛在地摧毀。 '、 口腔保健用具100較好是以於室溫下小於7〇%, 更好是於室溫下小於60%,最好是於室溫下小於 50%,而最最好是於室溫下小於4〇%之一相對濕度等 級而被設置於包裝300中,以便避免凝膠膠囊132之 退化。然而,在某些實施例中,即使一具有一較高濕 氣之大氣首先被困在子空穴306之内,下部腔室 中之乾燥劑380也將能夠吸收過多的水分而不會使 口腔保健用具100之凝膠膠囊132退化。然而,子空 穴306如上所述是氣密的,以便避免口腔保健用具 100之凝膠膠囊132進一步暴露至水分,藉以使凝膠 膠囊132保持原封不動。 少 環狀壁面302、内壁310、橫向板360與底盤3〇7 可以由如熟習本項技藝者將熟知的任何型式之材料 所組成。具體言之,材料可能是一種金屬或金屬合 金,或一種例如聚丙烯、聚乙烯、聚苯乙烯或聚氯乙 烯之熱塑塑膠。當然,本發明並非受限於此,且可使 用如熟習本項技藝者將熟知的其他材料。 在一多步驟製程中可形成包裝300。具體言之, 於一實施例中,環狀壁面3〇2、内壁31〇與橫向板16〇 係形成於單-步驟之射&成型製程巾。在形成環狀壁 面302、内壁310與横向板36〇之後,下部腔室363 25 201238840 係以乾燥劑380填滿》接著’在適當地安置乾燥劑 380之後,以一板之型式存在的底盤307係連接至環 狀壁面302與内壁310 ’俾能包圍環狀壁面302之底 端與内壁310。 底盤307可以在一第二射出成型步驟中被建 構,然後於製程之一後來階段被裝設或耦接至環狀壁 面302與内壁310。將底盤307搞接至環狀壁面302 與内壁310 ’係可藉由習知技藝已知的任何適當技術 (包含但不限於熱焊接、一緊密配合組件、一搞合套 筒、黏著劑、卡扣件等等)而達成。吾人應理解到, 包裝300之各種元件可能藉由除模製成形以外之方 法(例如,銑切、機器或其他適當的處理)而形成。 吾人應理解在某些實施例中,可能完全省略乾燥 劑380。在這樣的實施例中,底盤3〇7可能與環狀壁 面302與内壁310 —體形成。以下所討論的實施例並 未詳細被討論或顯示成具有一乾燥劑。然而,以下所 討論的包裝實施例之構造可能如上所述被製造,俾能 使乾燥劑380可被包含在包裴中以供水分吸收用。再 者,如上所述,包裝300最好是按尺寸被製成能使其 可適合在一車輛杯架之内。因此,當一使用者正在開 車時’使用者將具有可取得以供使用之口腔保健用具 忉〇。虽然,本發明並非受限於此且包裝300可呈 現其他形狀與尺寸’例如上述揭露之那些。 參見圖6 ’顯示一種口腔保健用具之包裝_之 26 201238840 逢代貫施例。除了内壁與薄膜之配置不同以外,包裝 600係與包裝3〇〇相同。除了將使用6〇〇系列之數字 Μ夕卜’與包裝300之部分相同的包裝6〇〇之部分將以 才目同的參考數字作說明。未詳細說明於此之包裝600 何部分具有與包裝300之相同部分相同的構 造、配置與用途。 包裝600包含一具有一環狀壁面602之管狀本體 601 ’其形成一個具有一縱軸Α-Α之空穴605。包裝 ^00包含複數個將空穴605分為複數個子空穴606之 役向壁面610。禋向壁面610從縱軸Α-Α放射狀延伸 至%狀壁面602 ’以使每個子空穴606被密封隔離其 他子空穴606。在例示實施例中,包裝600具有12 個把向壁面610,其將空穴605分為12個同等尺寸 的子空穴606。當然,本發明並非受限於此,且可能 摘1供多於或少於12個徑向壁面610用以將空穴605 分為多於或少於12個子空穴606。再者,在某些實 知例中,徑向壁面610可將空穴605分為複數個不同 尺寸之子空穴606。如上相關於包裝300所述,複數 個子空穴6〇6可能是屬於不同尺寸,以便將不同型式 之口腔保健用具儲存在單〆包裝600之内。子空穴 6〇6之數目與尺寸絕不會限制本發明。 類似於包裝300,包裝600具有一包圍每一個子 空穴606之一頂端608之薄膜620。薄膜620連接至 每一個徑向壁面610之一頂端邊緣611並連接至環狀 27 201238840 壁面=02之一頂端邊緣612〇再者,在例示實施例中, 伏在牷向壁面610之頂端邊緣611與環狀壁面6〇2之 頂端邊緣612上面並裝設至其之薄膜62〇之一部分, 係為一薄膜620之預先削弱的部分622。當鈇,在草 ,其他實施例中,薄膜620之預先削弱的部分622 ^ 能只是伏在徑向壁面610之頂端邊緣611上面的薄膜 620之部分。在某些其他實施例中薄膜無法具 有任何預先削弱的部分622 ,但取而代之可能是如上 所述參考包裝3〇〇之複數個分離薄膜段。因此,除了 内部/徑向壁面310、610之組態,從而是子空穴3〇6、 606之尺寸、开)狀與數目以外,包裝在所有方面 係與包裝3GG相同。較佳是只有—個口腔保健用具 1〇〇被布署在每一個子空穴606之内。然而,子空穴 606 —般大於子空穴3〇6,且其可能將一個以上的口 腔保健用具100布署在每一個子空穴606之内。 4膜620可能如上所述藉由提供一力量至其中 一^固薄臈620之上表面上而被貫穿,俾能使薄膜62〇 沿著,繞薄膜620之預先削弱的部分622破裂。或 者,薄膜620之每一個薄臈段可包含一凸出部,用以 被使用者所緊握,俾能使薄膜62〇可以與徑向壁面 61〇之頂端邊緣611與環狀壁面6〇2之頂端邊緣612 刀離。因此,從包裝6〇〇之其中一個子空穴6〇6移除 口腔保健用具100之過程,係與以上參考圖3所討 响的從包裝600之其中一個子空穴3〇6移除—口腔保 28 201238840 健用具100之過程相同。 參見圖7及8,顯示一種口腔保健用具之包裝700 之另一種實施例。除了將使用700系列之數字以外, 與包裝300之部分相同的包裝700之部分將以相同的 參考數字作說明。未詳細說明於此之包裝700之任何 部分具有與包裝300之相同部分相同的構造、配置與 用途。 包裝700包含一具有一環狀壁面702之管狀本體 701,其形成一空穴705。包裝700更包含一個將空 乂 7〇5分為兩個子空穴706之内壁710。雖然包裝7〇〇 係顯示成只具有單一内壁71〇,但本發明並非受限於 此。在其他實施例中,包裝7〇〇可具有兩個彼此垂直 之内壁,或兩個以上的内壁。包含有包装7〇〇之内壁 之數目係取決於子空穴706之期望數目。一包裝7〇〇 之底端7〇4係由一底盤(未顯示)所包圍,其密封如上 所述參考包裝300之每一個子空穴7〇6。 包裝700具有複數個布署在每一個子 :Γ:健用具10。。舉例而言,在所顯示的實: 中’十個口腔保健用具觸被布署在每 觀之内。當然,本發明並未受限於 」 空穴706之内的口腔保健用具100之數目。母 子 每一個子空穴706具有一被一 ° — 72。所密封之頂端7。8。可重複密封薄膜=、传3 至一内壁710之頂端邊緣711與1狀壁面 29 201238840 端邊緣712。更明確而言,可重複密封薄膜72〇包含 兩個裝设至内壁710之頂端邊緣711與環狀壁面7〇2 之頂端邊緣712之分離薄膜段721,其中一在每一個 薄膜段721之間的間隙或空間723位於内壁71〇之頂 端邊緣711。因此,每一個薄膜段721包圍並密封其 中一個子空穴706。當然,本發明並非受限於此,且 在某些其他實施例中,薄膜72〇可能是包圍子空穴 706兩個之單一薄膜片,且薄膜72〇可能如上所述是 一預先削弱的區域。 薄膜720係裝設至包裝7〇〇,俾能使薄膜72〇之 一部分可***控,以提供接達進入單一個之子空穴 706,而其他子空穴706維持密封。更明確而言,其 中一個薄膜段721可以與包裝7〇〇分離,用以暴露/ 開啟其中一個子空穴706 ’而另一個薄膜段721維持 被裝設至包裝700 ’俾能密封另一個子空穴7〇6。當 然,在有兩個以上的子空穴706之實施例中,任一個 子空穴706可被開啟,而其他子空穴7〇6維持密封。 每一個薄膜段721包含一拉片724。拉片724允 許一使用者容易緊握薄膜段721以操控薄膜段721並 開啟子空穴,藉以使在子空穴706之内的口腔保 健用具1 〇〇暴露至外部環境。拉片724係按尺寸被製 造並被塑形成容易被一使用者之手指與拇指緊抓 住。拉片724亦幫助薄膜段721之重新密封,如以下 將討論的。雖然拉片724係顯示為被設置在鄰近環狀 201238840 壁面702之頂端邊緣712之薄膜段721之部分上,在 其他實施例中,拉片724可被設置在鄰近内壁710之 頂端邊緣711之薄膜段721之部分上。 環狀壁面702之頂端邊緣712與内壁710之頂端 邊緣711之一部分係利用一黏著劑而被覆蓋或成層。 具體言之,内壁710之頂端邊緣711係由一黏接劑所 覆蓋,同時留下沒有黏接劑之在鄰近薄膜段721之間 的間隙723。此外或或者,黏著劑可能沿著每一個薄 膜段721之一周邊而塗敷。黏著劑並未被塗敷至拉片 724,俾能避免拉片724黏著至環狀壁面702之頂端 邊緣712。因此,一使用者將更容易能夠緊握拉片724 並將薄膜720之薄膜段721拉遠離包裝700以開啟子 空穴706。再者,藉由為一消費者提供薄膜段721之 一特定部分來拉,並未牽引消費者碰觸薄膜段721之 黏著劑部分。碰觸薄膜段721之黏著劑部分可導致黏 著劑層失去其黏著性,且未提供子空穴706之頂端 708之一適當的重新密封。如上所述,現在已知的或

However, for example, when a user is driving or is very busy, oral health appliances are often not available due to the lack of a source of water. Oral health appliances that can be used without/water sources have recently been developed. By way of example, oral health appliances have been developed to provide oral health care material within the alpha cavity health care implement itself, for example, via an integrated passageway for distribution to the bristles via the oral health care appliance. Disposable anhydrous oral health care implements using a pre-coated fully sensitive capsule have also been introduced for sale. Oral health devices such as those described above must be maintained in a sealed environment prior to use to avoid premature reduction and/or release of oral health care materials. As such, these sigma cavity care appliances must be carefully packaged. Furthermore, the disposable oral health care device ^ needs a place where oral health care is disposed after use. Currently, the disposable oral health care appliance of the type discussed above is packaged in a clamshell package that is individually sealed for protection. If a user uses a discardable oral health device in a car or in another "very busy" location, then the user must take the disposable D-cavity care device used in the car. Or hold it until a suitable waste paper can be set. Therefore, there is a need for a package of oral health care appliances that can be included in a water-free environment before use. There is a need for a package that can include a plurality of oral health appliances such that one of the oral health appliances can be removed from the package for use while the remaining oral health care implements are maintained at a moisture barrier Protect the environment. .

In addition, the features and benefits of the invention are illustrated by reference to the embodiments illustrated herein. Thus, the invention is not particularly limited to the exemplary embodiment, even if it is shown as a preferred embodiment. The discussion herein illustrates and shows some possible non-limiting combinations or other combinations of features that may exist separately. The scope of the present invention <# is defined by the scope of the application. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, an embodiment of an oral health care implement 1GG that is particularly suitable for use with the present invention is illustrated. As will become more apparent from the discussion below, the oral care implement 100 is preferably packaged in a manner that protects the oral care implement 100 from moisture and/or moisture. The oral care implement 100 extends from a proximal end 1〇1 to an end 102 and includes a head 112 and a handle 114. The oral care implement 100 includes a tail portion 1〇3 at the proximal end 101 and a head portion 104 at the distal end 102. The head 112 may be a refiu head that is removably coupled to the handle 114 or a configuration that is permanently coupled to the handle 114. Most of the handle 114 and a portion of the head 112 may be molded from a variety of rigid materials including, but not limited to, 201238840 rubber. An appropriate material is polypropylene - however, as will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, other rigid materials may be used. In the illustrated embodiment, the sigma cavity health care device is just the tail. [5 knife 103 (which is just opposite the head portion provided with the head 112) includes a mouth-mouth fitting, which in the illustrated embodiment is a toothpick 116. The gum 116 is preferably comprised of an elastic and soft thermoplastic elastomer. As with the head 112, the toothpick 116 may be a replacement toothpick that is removably coupled to the handle 114 or may be permanently attached to the handle 114. The toothpick 116 provides a mechanism for cleaning the teeth between the fields. The toothpick 116 forming a soft thermoplastic elastomer provides a more comfortable interproximal cleaning between the teeth. However, the toothpick 116 may be constructed of a rigid, rigid material similar to the major portion of the handle 114' or may be merely a rubber or elastomer pick that is glued or reverse mounted to the end of the handle 114 ( Alternatively, an accessory such as a floss belt or a tongue cleaning element (4) may be attached to the tail portion 103 of the oral care implement 100. Further, in certain embodiments of the present invention, the π cavity retaining tool cannot A fitting or multiple fittings may be included. The head 112 includes a cleaning element block 122. The cleaning element block 122 includes a plurality of bristles extending from the head 114. The bristles of the cleaning element block 122 may be of any desired shape. The 5' bristles may be in the shape of a round laurel, the entire length of which has a -like diameter. Alternatively, the bristles taper from the root, where they pass from the head 122 to their outer clean end at 201238840. The component block 122 may include other cleaning elements. Further, the dimensions of the various components of the oral care implement 100 are preferably small. Thus, for example, the cleaning element Each of the bristles of the block 122 may extend outwardly from the head 112 by a distance of no greater than 10 mm and preferably no greater than 8 mm and preferably no greater than 6 mm. Where a tapered cleaning element is used, the root diameter should be no greater than one. 5 mm, more preferably between 0.5 mm and 1 mm, and most preferably no more than 〇.3 mm. The size of the diameter can then decrease with distance from the head 112. In the best case, the entire oral health appliance 1 The length of the crucible is not more than 5 吋, more preferably not more than 4 吋 and preferably in the range of 2 to 4 。. A central portion of the head portion 114 surrounded by the cleaning element block 122 contains a recess or void. a hole for retaining a rupturable gel capsule or bubble 132. The gel capsule 132 is filled with an oral health care material (e.g., a fluid solution) for cleaning or otherwise providing a user's oral health benefits. The health care material may be dentifrice, toothpaste, '✓ tooth gelatin, mouthwash or a similar toothpaste or oral hygiene production $, or a combination thereof. Gel capsule 132 is moisture sensitive and should be protected from High humidity environment to avoid premature In other words, the gel capsule 132 or at least a portion thereof is susceptible to degradation when subjected to a high humidity environment because it has been found that the moisture of the air in a high humidity environment reduces the gel. The integrity of the capsule 132. Therefore, it is desirable to package the oral care device 100 in a manner to protect the gel capsule 132 from moisture and liquid moisture prior to red. The gel capsule 132 is filled and coated. The oral care material is applied to the tooth cleaning element 122 of the oral care appliance head 112, and finally to the user's teeth and oral care surface. As noted above, the oral care material may be a toothpaste, a gel, a mouthwash, or A similar toothpaste or oral hygiene product, or a combination thereof. The gel capsule 132 is preferably a liquid-filled gel capsule having a shell comprising a fragile, thin wall which is susceptible to cracking or bursting when rubbing the teeth. In a preferred embodiment, gel capsule 132 is degraded upon exposure to moisture' and therefore dissolves upon mixing with a user's saliva. When a user's saliva degrades and dissolves the wall surface of the gel capsule 132, the oral care solution contained therein is excreted. Although the degradation of the gel capsule 132 is a desirable feature for the end use of the oral care appliance by the consumer, the gel capsule 132 is used during manufacture, packaging, shipping, and display at the retail store. Moisture-driven degradation appears to be critical in relation to properly maintaining the integrity of gel capsule 132. The gel capsule 132, or at least a portion thereof, is susceptible to degradation when subjected to long-term exposure to an environment having a high humidity level, not only in direct contact with liquid water. We have found that a high humidity can degrade the integrity of the gel capsule 132 and prematurely vent the mouth cavity health care material or cause the oral health care material to completely dry out. Of course, the correct moisture level and exposure time that will result in degradation of gelling gel f 132 will be determined on a case-by-case basis, whereby this factor 12 201238840 is considered to be the type of gel capsule 132 used, oral The type of health care material, as well as the thermal cycle that oral health care equipment suffers. In view of the above, it is desirable to have the gel capsule 132 (and possibly the entire oral health care appliance 100) disposed in a package forming a sealed cavity in which at least the gel capsule 132' of the oral health care appliance 100 is deployed. The gel capsule 132 is protected from external moisture that may be present in the form of a high moisture environment or liquid water. In some embodiments, the sealed cavity may be sealed. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the entire configuration of the oral care implement 100 comprising the head 112, the handle 114 and the toothpick 116 is accomplished by the use of a conventional two-shot injection molding operation typically used in the manufacture of oral care implements. And being molded into a whole structure ^. This allows the oral care appliance to be manufactured economically and quickly. While it is possible to construct the oral care implement 100 in a variety of sizes, shapes and relative sizes, the oral care implement 1 preferably has a low profile which makes it easy to carry and can be used with care. In one embodiment, the head 112 is preferably small enough to cover the single teeth at a time, and the handle 114 is preferably substantially thinner than the conventional daily oral care implement handle. In some embodiments, the oral health care implement 100 preferably weighs only 3 grams because it is intended to make the oral care implement 1 small and lightweight. The small size allows the oral health device 1 to be completely held within the palm of an adult user's hand. The head 112 is preferably sized to correspond to the size of an individual tooth or an area between the other teeth and the adjacent 13 201238840. Although the head 112 can be made in any suitable shape, it is preferably circular or circular in shape and has a maximum transverse dimension or diameter of no more than 13 mm, more preferably no more than 12 mm and preferably no more than ll mm. . Of course, the oral care implement 100 is not limited to any particular size or shape. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the oral care implement 100 described above. Although the package of the present invention will be described in conjunction with a plurality of oral care implements, however, we should understand other packageable oral care implements as discussed below. In certain embodiments of the present invention, (4) the package is in no way limited to the construction of the oral care implement 100, unless specified in the towel. In the illustrated embodiment, the oral care implement 1 deployed within the package is a disposable oral care implement having __ pre-coated oral care material and must be protected to squeak. In other embodiments, a conventional toothbrush or any other type of oral care implement may be deployed within the package, whether or not it must be protected from moisture and/or contain a pre-coat. Oral health care materials. As used herein, the application means that the oral material is packaged and sold in combination with a 0-cavity health care appliance. Referring also to Figures 3-5, a package containing a plurality of oral health appliances 100 is shown. The package 3 is designed to maintain the presence of a sub-health material in the form of a gel capsule 132 that is protected from degradation by moisture and/or moisture. Of course, in the embodiment in which the oral health care device contained in the package A^884〇/^300 does not need to be protected from gout degradation, the package 3 does not need to be sealed. The package 300 generally contains one The tubular body 3〇1 has a ring forming a cavity 3〇5 and a surface 302. In the illustrated embodiment, the ring 302 has a circular transverse cross-sectional profile. A circular transverse cross-sectional shape of the wheel is advantageous when the package 3 is configured to be placed in a cup holder of a vehicle. In such an embodiment, the package 3〇〇 most = < It has a diameter Di between 60 and 80 mm. In some other = examples, The package 300 can assume a taper (not shown), In order to make the diameter of the package 3〇〇1, the top 3〇3 of the package 3〇〇 is greater than the bottom end 304 of the 13⁄4 300, Or vice versa. of course, The present invention is not limited to this, And in some other embodiments, The transverse cross-sectional profile of the annular wall 3〇2 can be almost any shape. Including but not limited to rectangles, Trapezoidal, Oval, Triangle or other polygons.  The package 300 includes a plurality of inner walls disposed within the cavity 305. The inner wall 310 divides the holes 305 into a plurality of sub-holes 306.  Each sub-hole 306 includes a top end 308 and a bottom end 309. In the illustrated embodiment, the inner wall 310 forms a grid of straight gridwork. Of course, the invention is not limited thereto. And the inner wall 31〇 can take any other form, As long as the inner wall 31 〇 divides the holes 305 into a plurality of sub-holes 306.  See Figure 4 for details. Show this linear mesh organization in more detail.  The linear grid organization is a preferred embodiment of an inner wall 310. Because when the annular wall 302 has a circular transverse profile, it maximizes the amount of void space used by 15 201238840. The embodiment towel is exemplified in a circular transverse section wheel using the annular wall 302, Some sub-holes 306 are empty, Because they are not large enough to accommodate one of the oral health appliances 100 therein. however, As described above, when the package 3 is stored in the vehicle cup holder, A circular cross-sectional profile is preferred. In the embodiment where the transverse cross-sectional profile of the annular wall 302 is rectangular, The inner wall 310 may be in the form of a Cartesian mesh structure. In order to maximize the void space used. Each sub-hole 306 may be the same size or a different size. By way of example, in embodiments in which different types of oral health appliances are stored in a package, each sub-hole 306 can be of a different size to store different types of oral health care implements. general speaking, In all embodiments, The number and size of sub-holes 306 in no way limit the invention.  See also Figure 3-5 at the same time. The bottom end 304 of the package 300 is surrounded by a chassis 307. The chassis 307 is coupled to the annular wall 302 and each of the inner walls 310. The bottom end 309 of each of the plurality of sub-holes 306 can be sealed. As will be explained in more detail below, In some embodiments, The chassis 307 is an element separate from the annular wall 302 and the inner wall 310. And it is installed to the annular wall surface 302 and the inner wall 310 at a later stage of the process. of course, The invention is not limited thereto and in certain other embodiments, The chassis 307 may be integrally formed with other components of the package 300.  In the illustrated embodiment, An oral health appliance 100 is properly deployed within each sub-hole 306. therefore, In such a 201238840 only C* example, The transverse section size of the mother's empty space is about 6-20mm. And better is between i〇_15nim. of course, The size of the sub-hole 306 may be larger or smaller than the range discussed herein. To accommodate larger or smaller oral health appliances, Or a single or more oral health care appliance 100 can be contained therein.  The oral health care appliance 100 is disposed in the sub-holes 3〇6, 能使 enabling the tail portion 1〇3 of the oral care implement 100 to be adjacent to the top end 308 of the sub-hole 306, The head portion 104 of the oral care implement 1 is adjacent to the bottom end 309 of the sub-cavity 306. The oral care implement 100 is placed in the sub-hole 306 in this manner, It is possible to provide the user with a more convenient grip on the oral care implement 1 for the sub-cavity 3〇6 as will be explained in more detail below. of course, Unless detailed in the scope of the patent application, Otherwise, the invention is not limited to the particular configuration of the oral health appliance 100 within the sub-holes 3〇6.  The package 300 includes a film 32A that seals the top end 308 of each of the plurality of sub-holes 3〇6. More specifically, The film 32 is attached to one of the top edge 312 and one of the inner wall 31 of the annular wall 302. Annular wall 3〇2 Inner wall 3ι〇, The combination of the chassis 3〇7 and the film 32〇 is established in an environment within each of the plurality of sub-holes 3〇6, Then, each sub-cavity 306 phase is sealed with respect to other sub-empty elements 06 and related to the external environment of the package (for example, the atmospheric environment). Before using the specific oral health care material in the sub-hole 3〇6, Establishing an environment within each of the plurality of sub-holes 3〇6 sealed by each of the other sub-holes 306, 5 17 201238840, It can help maintain a moisture-free environment within each sub-hole 306. In some embodiments, Sub-hole 306 is sealed.  Film 320 is preferably a sheet of material that surrounds the entire top end 303 of package 300. It also surrounds the top end 308 of each of the sub-spaces 306. The film 320 can be, for example but not limited to, a laminate, An aluminum foil, A wax paper or a plastic sheet. Film 320 is preferably elastic,  But in some embodiments it may be rigid. Furthermore, As will be familiar to those skilled in the art, Any other material that can seal the top end 308 of each sub-hole 306 can also be used for the film 320. The film 320 can be applied by many means (including an adhesive, Thermal bonding, Static, Friction or a combination thereof is attached to the top edge (or surface) of the tubular body 301.  In an embodiment, Film 320 is essentially a transparent material. By creating a film 320 from a transparent material, A user can easily see through each sub-hole '306 via film 320 to determine if an oral health device 100 is disposed therein. By allowing a user to see through the film 320, the user may also be allowed to select the oral health device 100 that he or she desires to store in a different type of oral health care device stored in the embodiment of the package 300. however, The present invention is not limited to this, And film 320 may be translucent or opaque. Furthermore, Film 320 may be painted in any desired manner including a single color or a patterned coloring arrangement. In some embodiments, A patterned coloring arrangement consisting of film segments 321 of different colors can be presented to the user in a different type of oral care stored in the package 300.  The film 320 is divided into a plurality of film segments 321 that are separable from each other.  The film section 321 is not limited to one embodiment comprising a single film that is subsequently divided into segments. However, it also includes embodiments of completely separate and distinct segments of the respective application film 32. In an embodiment, The film section 321 may be a single film that covers the entire top end 3〇3 of the package 300 (which is then divided into a plurality of film segments 321 by pre-weaking portions 322 on the film 320). Regardless of how the film segment 321 is created, The film segments 321 collectively form a film 320. Furthermore, it should be understood that the top end 308 of each sub-hole 306 is sealed by a corresponding one of the film segments 321 .  The film 320 is surface-attached to the package 3〇〇 in the following manner: Access to a single sub-hole 30 可 is obtained while the other sub-holes 3 〇 6 remain sealed to each other and to the external environment. In order to be able to access a single sub-cavity 306, The film segment 321 that seals that particular sub-cavity 3〇6 must be removed, Opened or reversed, The crucible enables the sub-holes 3〇6 to no longer be covered or sealed by the diaphragm section 321. In some embodiments, The film segment 321 is sealed with a cavity 306. In the illustrated embodiment, The film 32 is divided into a plurality of films # 321 and the pre-weakened portion 322 is a portion of the film 32 邻近 between adjacent film segments 321 . Specifically,  The pre-weakened portion 322 of the film 320 is part of the film 320 that is placed over the top edge 311 of the inner wall 310 between adjacent film segments 321 and attached thereto. In the illustrated embodiment, The film 32 has a pre-cut 19 201238840 weak portion 322 overlying the top edge 312 of the annular wall 310. however, In some other embodiments, The portion of the film 32 that lie above the top edge 312 of the annular wall 310 is not pre-weakened. The pre-weakened portion 322 may be a perforated seam located between the adjacent film and the 321 Heat weakens seams or slits.  As described above, in order to be able to access one of the sub-holes 306 for removal of the oral health care appliance 100 deployed therein, The film section 321 that seals that particular sub-hole 306 must be manipulated. The handling film segment 321 includes a film that is removed or penetrated through the film segment 321 or otherwise established in the region of the film segment 321 that covers a particular sub-hole 306, The crucible enables the sub-hole 306 to no longer be covered by the film segment 321 . Due to the pre-weakened portion 322, The film section 321 is easily penetrated or removed. Specifically, When will a force? When applied to a selected film segment 323 of one of the plurality of film segments 321 (which is surrounding a selected sub-cavity of one of the plurality of sub-holes 306), The film 32 is broken along the pre-weakened portion 322 surrounding the selected film segment 323.  in this way, The selected film segment 323 becomes separated from the remaining film 32〇. And forming a passage from the external environment into the selected sub-cavity 316 of the selected film segment 323 jin. I should understand that  1 quantity F is preferably a user's finger pressed down on the selected film, The power of 323. however, The present invention is not limited to this and can be The force F is obtained by pressing the object of the selected film segment 323 or by any other means as would be understood by those skilled in the art.  In some other embodiments not shown, Each of the film segments 321 can have a corresponding projection that can be gripped by a user.  20 201238840 In the case of two kinds of implementations, when the system wants to get the sub-cavity 31= The user grips the projection, And pull the selected film segment 323 far ion hole, In order to provide a passage into the selected sub-hole 316. Regardless of how the selected film segment 323 is manipulated to establish a strip into the channel of the selected sub-hole 316, Once the selected sub-hole 316 is turned on, The oral care implement 100 deployed in the selected sub-cavities 316 is exposed. in this way, The user will be able to grip the oral care implement 100 and remove it from the selected sub-cavities 316 for use. As mentioned above, The tail portion 103 of the oral care implement 100 is preferably positioned adjacent the top end 308 of the sub-hole 306. This is because the tail portion 1〇3 of the oral health care appliance 100 is smaller than the head portion 1〇4.  Therefore, it will become easier for a user to grip the oral care implement 100 and remove it from the sub-holes 060.  After the user grips the oral care implement 1 and removes it from its corresponding sub-empty 306, the user can use the oral health care star to clean his or her mouth. The gel capsule 132 is not dissolved by the user's saliva. It is pierced by the user's teeth and will rupture when in use' and the user's teeth and other oral surfaces will benefit from the contents of gel capsule 132. In some embodiments as described above, the oral care implement 100 is intended to be used for single use and is therefore disposable. therefore, After use, The user can discard the oral care implement 1 by replacing the oral care implement 100 and returning to the sub-hole 316 from which it is selected. in this way, The package 300 can be used prior to use as a container for storing oral care 21 201238840 appliance 100. It is used after use as a waste paper basket for discarding the oral health care appliance 100. If the package 300 is manufactured in size and designed to fit within the cup holder of a vehicle' then this will prevent the user from dispersing the used oral care implement 100 within the vehicle.  In some embodiments, As will be explained in more detail below with reference to Figures 7 and 10, Film 320 is also resealable. A user may find that it is not attractive to have the used oral care implement 100 disposed uncovered in the sub-holes 306. therefore, By resealing the film 320, The used oral care implement 100 can be blocked from the line of sight.  In some embodiments, Package 300 also includes a closure (not shown). An embodiment of a sealing cover will be discussed in detail below with reference to FIG. however, The closure can present any known closure embodiment. Specifically, The sealing cover may be a buckle, Crimp, A sealing cover that interferes with the top end 308 of the sub-hole 306 above the cover film 320 of the interference fit or other type. More specifically, The sealing cap will be coupled to the tubular form, The 301' can cause the film 320 to be positioned between the front body 301 of one of the bottoms of the sealing cover. This sealing cap will prevent the film 320 from being smashed, package, Shipped and displayed at a retail store for sale to an end user, prematurely pierced, Is turned on or removed. This sealing cover is preferably constructed of the same material as the other components of the package_discussed below. However, as long as the sealing cover protects the film from premature piercing, Then the sealing cover can be made of any material set 22 201238840. Any of the embodiments discussed herein (whether a cover is shown) may be fabricated with a sealing cover, Shipment, Display and sales 0 See Figure 5 separately, A description of a package 300 comprising a desiccant 380 will be described. In some embodiments, The desiccant 380 is placed within the package 300, In order to remove any moisture that may penetrate into the sub-cavities 306 of the package. therefore, The package 3 further includes a transverse plate 36〇 disposed within each of the sub-holes 306. It divides each sub-hole 306 into an upper chamber 362 and a lower chamber 363. Conceptually, The package 300 can be viewed as comprising a single transverse plate 360 that extends generally transverse to the bottom of the chassis 307 across the entire cavity 305. The upper chamber 362 extends between the membrane 320 and a surface 364 of a transverse plate 36A. Similarly, The lower chamber 363 extends between a lower surface 365 of the transverse plate 360 and an upper surface 312 of the chassis 307. In the illustrated embodiment, the transverse plate 3 60 is integrally formed to have an integral part of the annular wall surface 302 and the inner wall 310. The process involving the creation of a package having a desiccant 380 will be described in more detail below.  In the illustrated embodiment, the transverse plate 360 includes a plurality of openings 361, Each of the opening portions 361 provides a portion above the sub-holes 3〇6 and the lower chamber 362, The passage between 363. In other words, For each sub-hole 306, air within the upper chamber 362 can flow downward into the lower chamber 363 via the opening portion 361. And vice versa. As will be better understood from the following discussion, Preferably, at least one opening 361 is present in a portion of the transverse plate 360 disposed within each of the plurality of sub-holes 306 as compared to 23 201238840. This will allow air to be in the upper and lower chambers 362 in each of the sub-holes 306, Between 363 cycles. In the illustrated embodiment, There are three opening portions 361 in the lateral plate 360 of each sub-hole 3〇6. however, The invention is not limited by this, Further or fewer opening portions 361 may be present in the transverse plate 360 as desired. Furthermore, We should understand that in some other embodiments,  The transverse plate 360 can be omitted entirely.  In the illustrated embodiment, Desiccant 380 is deployed in lower chamber 363. Desiccant 380 may be any material. It is known to initiate or maintain a dry state in the vicinity of a portion of a suitably well sealed container. Desiccant 380 may be as such, But not limited to Shi Xijiao,  Sulphur Chlorination, Montmorillonite clay,  Knife screen, Meter, Salt and so on. It is possible to use other desiccants that are now known or later discovered, It can be maintained in a dry state within a sealed container. At the same time, no toxins are delivered to the oral health care device deployed within the sub-holes 306.  The oral care implement 100 is deployed in the upper chamber 362. Therefore, The entire package 300 only needs to be large enough to accommodate the oral care appliance (which is 2 to 4 # small) and desiccant 38 (which may only be deployed in the lower chamber 363 - layer salt) .  Due to the opening 361 in the slanting plate 360, Desiccant 380 will absorb any of the upper and lower chambers 362, The water knife within 363 is because the air in the sub-hole 3 () 6 will be freely between the upper and lower chambers 24 201238840 362 ' 363 via the opening 361 in the transverse plate. flow. therefore, The desiccant 38〇 will remove too much moisture, Otherwise it will degrade or potentially destroy the oral care device 100 within the upper chamber 362.  ',  The oral health care appliance 100 is preferably less than 7〇% at room temperature.  More preferably less than 60% at room temperature, Preferably it is less than 50% at room temperature, Most preferably, it is disposed in the package 300 at a relative humidity level of less than 4% at room temperature. In order to avoid degradation of the gel capsule 132. however, In some embodiments, Even if an atmosphere with a higher humidity is first trapped within the sub-hole 306, The desiccant 380 in the lower chamber will also be able to absorb excess moisture without degrading the gel capsule 132 of the oral care implement 100. however, The sub-cavities 306 are airtight as described above. In order to prevent the gel capsule 132 of the oral health care appliance 100 from being further exposed to moisture, Thereby the gel capsule 132 remains intact.  Less annular wall 302, Inner wall 310, The transverse plate 360 and the chassis 3〇7 can be composed of any type of material as would be familiar to those skilled in the art. Specifically, The material may be a metal or metal alloy. Or one such as polypropylene, Polyethylene, Thermoplastic plastic of polystyrene or polyvinyl chloride. of course, The invention is not limited to this, Other materials as would be familiar to those skilled in the art can be used.  The package 300 can be formed in a multi-step process. Specifically,  In an embodiment, Annular wall 3〇2 The inner wall 31〇 and the transverse plate 16 are formed in a single-step shot & Forming process towel. Forming an annular wall 302, After the inner wall 310 and the horizontal plate 36 are closed, The lower chamber 363 25 201238840 is filled with a desiccant 380. Then, after the desiccant 380 is properly placed, The chassis 307, which is in the form of a plate, is coupled to the annular wall 302 and the inner wall 310' to surround the bottom and inner walls 310 of the annular wall 302.  The chassis 307 can be constructed in a second injection molding step. It is then mounted or coupled to the annular wall 302 and the inner wall 310 at a later stage in the process. Attaching the chassis 307 to the annular wall 302 and the inner wall 310' can be by any suitable technique known in the art (including but not limited to thermal welding, a tight fit component, Put on the sleeve, Adhesive, The card fastener, etc.) is achieved. I should understand that  The various components of package 300 may be formed by a method other than molding (for example, Milling, Formed by a machine or other suitable process).  We should understand that in some embodiments, The desiccant 380 may be omitted entirely. In such an embodiment, The chassis 3〇7 may be integrally formed with the annular wall 302 and the inner wall 310. The examples discussed below are not discussed in detail or shown to have a desiccant. however, The construction of the package embodiment discussed below may be fabricated as described above, The desiccant 380 can be included in the package for water supply absorption. Again, As mentioned above, The package 300 is preferably sized to fit within a vehicle cup holder. therefore, When a user is driving, the user will have an oral health appliance that is available for use. although, The invention is not so limited and the package 300 can assume other shapes and sizes, such as those disclosed above.  See Figure 6' for a package of oral health care equipment_26 201238840. Except for the configuration of the inner wall and the film, The package 600 is the same as the package 3〇〇. In addition to the 6 〇〇 series of numbers, the same package as the package 300 will be described with the same reference numerals. The package 600, which is not described in detail, has the same construction as the same portion of the package 300, Configuration and use.  The package 600 includes a tubular body 601' having an annular wall 602 that defines a cavity 605 having a longitudinal axis Α-Α. The package ^00 includes a plurality of walls 610 that divide the cavity 605 into a plurality of sub-holes 606. The crucible wall 610 extends radially from the longitudinal axis Α-Α to the % wall 602' such that each sub-hole 606 is sealed from other sub-cavities 606. In the illustrated embodiment, The package 600 has 12 facing walls 610, It divides the cavity 605 into 12 sub-holes 606 of the same size. of course, The invention is not limited to this, It is possible to pick 1 more or less than 12 radial walls 610 for dividing the holes 605 into more or less than 12 sub-holes 606. Furthermore, In some embodiments, The radial wall 610 can divide the voids 605 into a plurality of sub-cavities 606 of different sizes. As described above in relation to package 300, The plural sub-holes 6〇6 may be of different sizes. In order to store different types of oral care implements in a single pack 600. The number and size of the sub-holes 6〇6 in no way limit the invention.  Similar to package 300, The package 600 has a film 620 that surrounds a top end 608 of each of the sub-holes 606. A film 620 is attached to one of the top edges 611 of each of the radial walls 610 and is connected to the ring 27 201238840 Wall =0 one of the top edges 612 〇, In the illustrated embodiment,  Between the top edge 611 of the wall 610 and the top edge 612 of the annular wall 6 〇 2 and a portion of the film 62 装 is attached thereto.  It is a pre-weakened portion 622 of a film 620. When you are, In the grass, In other embodiments, The pre-weakened portion 622 of the film 620 can only be part of the film 620 that lie above the top edge 611 of the radial wall 610. In some other embodiments the film may not have any pre-weakened portions 622, Instead, however, it is possible to refer to a plurality of separate film segments of the package 3 as described above. therefore, In addition to the inner/radial wall 310, 610 configuration, Thus, the sub-holes 3〇6,  606 size, Beyond the number and number, Packaging is the same as package 3GG in all respects. Preferably, only one oral health device is deployed within each sub-cavity 606. however, Sub-hole 606 is generally larger than sub-hole 3〇6, And it is possible to deploy more than one oral health device 100 within each sub-cavity 606.  4 film 620 may be penetrated by providing a force to the upper surface of one of the thin layers 620 as described above, 俾 can make the film 62〇 along, The pre-weakened portion 622 of the wound film 620 breaks. Or, Each of the thin sections of the film 620 may include a protrusion. Used to be gripped by the user, The crucible 62 can be separated from the top edge 611 of the radial wall 61 与 and the top edge 612 of the annular wall 6 〇 2 . therefore, The process of removing the oral health care appliance 100 from one of the sub-cavities 6〇6 of the package 6,, The process is the same as the process of removing the one of the sub-holes 3〇6 of the package 600, which is discussed above with reference to FIG. 3, the mouthpiece 28 201238840.  See Figures 7 and 8, Another embodiment of a package 700 of oral health care implements is shown. In addition to the numbers that will be used in the 700 series,  Portions of package 700 that are identical to portions of package 300 will be described with the same reference numerals. Any portion of the package 700 that is not described in detail has the same construction as the same portion of the package 300, Configuration and use.  The package 700 includes a tubular body 701 having an annular wall 702, It forms a cavity 705. The package 700 further includes an inner wall 710 that divides the space 〇7〇5 into two sub-holes 706. Although the package 7 is shown to have only a single inner wall 71, However, the invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, The package 7〇〇 can have two inner walls perpendicular to each other. Or more than two inner walls. The number of inner walls containing the package 7 is dependent on the desired number of sub-holes 706. The bottom end 7〇4 of a package 7〇〇 is surrounded by a chassis (not shown). It is sealed as described above with reference to each of the sub-holes 7〇6 of the package 300.  Package 700 has multiple deployments in each sub: Γ: Health equipment 10. . For example, In the actual display:  The top ten oral health care devices were deployed in each view. of course, The invention is not limited by the number of oral health appliances 100 within the cavity 706. Each of the mother holes 706 has a temperature of one to 72. The sealed top end 7. 8. Resealable film =, Passing through the top edge 711 of the inner wall 710 and the 1st wall surface 29 201238840 end edge 712. More specifically, The resealable film 72A includes two separate film segments 721 attached to the top edge 711 of the inner wall 710 and the top edge 712 of the annular wall 7〇2, One of the gaps or spaces 723 between each of the film segments 721 is located at the top end edge 711 of the inner wall 71. therefore, Each film segment 721 encloses and seals a sub-hole 706 therein. of course, The invention is not limited to this, And in some other embodiments, The film 72〇 may be a single film sheet surrounding the sub-holes 706. And the film 72〇 may be a pre-weakened area as described above.  The film 720 is attached to the package 7〇〇. 俾 enables a portion of the film 72 to be manipulated, To provide access to a single child hole 706, The other sub-holes 706 remain sealed. More specifically, One of the film segments 721 can be separated from the package 7〇〇. To expose/open one of the sub-holes 706' and the other film section 721 is maintained to be packaged to the package 700' to seal the other sub-holes 7〇6. of course, In embodiments having more than two sub-holes 706, Any one of the sub-holes 706 can be turned on, The other sub-holes 7〇6 remain sealed.  Each film segment 721 includes a pull tab 724. The pull tab 724 allows a user to easily grasp the film segment 721 to manipulate the film segment 721 and open the sub-cavities. Thereby, the oral care implement 1 inside the sub-hole 706 is exposed to the external environment. The pull tab 724 is sized and shaped to be easily grasped by a user's fingers and thumb. The pull tab 724 also assists in resealing the film segment 721. As will be discussed below. Although the pull tab 724 is shown as being disposed adjacent the film segment 721 of the top edge 712 of the annular 201238840 wall 702, In other embodiments, The pull tab 724 can be disposed on a portion of the film section 721 adjacent the top edge 711 of the inner wall 710.  A portion of the top edge 712 of the annular wall 702 and the top edge 711 of the inner wall 710 is covered or layered with an adhesive.  Specifically, The top edge 711 of the inner wall 710 is covered by an adhesive. At the same time, a gap 723 between adjacent film segments 721 without adhesive is left. In addition or alternatively, Adhesives may be applied along the perimeter of one of each of the film segments 721. The adhesive is not applied to the pull tab 724, The tab 724 can be prevented from sticking to the top edge 712 of the annular wall 702. therefore, A user will be more likely to be able to grip the tab 724 and pull the film section 721 of the film 720 away from the package 700 to open the sub-hole 706. Furthermore, By providing a consumer with a specific portion of the film segment 721, The adhesive portion of the film segment 721 is not pulled by the consumer. Touching the adhesive portion of the film segment 721 can cause the adhesive layer to lose its adhesiveness. And one of the tips 708 of the sub-holes 706 is not properly resealed. As mentioned above, Any type of adhesive currently known or later discovered for use in a resealable film, It may be well known to be used as an adhesive as would be familiar to those skilled in the art.  In use, A user will grip the pull tab 724 of one of the film segments 721 and pull the film segment 721 away from the package 700 to open the sub-holes 706.
