第一具體實施例的牙膏施配器1可使用包含磁石或金屬組件的牙刷。參考圖3，當瓶蓋裝置16的封閉物19對於瓶蓋裝置16基部18是在開啟位置時，基部18的孔口17與施配器1的外部流體連通。牙刷30頭部32中或上含有磁石38的牙刷30可應用於有大約與孔口17對齊之牙刷30頭部32的施配器1。支架20中的磁石27吸引牙刷30頭部32中或上的磁石38直到牙刷30與支架20接觸。然後，磁石27、38合作以使牙刷30頭部32與容器10保持大約固定的距離。在頭部32與容器10的距離固定下，使用者只需小幅調整牙刷30相對於施配器1的位置(例如，對於牙刷30與容器10中之另一者，以各個縱軸線為中心旋轉牙刷30或容器10)以便使頭部32與孔口17對齊。 The toothpaste dispenser 1 of the first embodiment may use a toothbrush including a magnet or a metal component. Referring to Figure 3, the aperture 17 of the base 18 is in fluid communication with the exterior of the dispenser 1 when the closure 19 of the capping device 16 is in the open position for the base 18 of the capping device 16. The toothbrush 30 containing or containing the magnet 38 in the head 32 of the toothbrush 30 can be applied to the dispenser 1 having the head 32 of the toothbrush 30 aligned with the aperture 17. The magnet 27 in the bracket 20 attracts the magnet 38 in or on the head 32 of the toothbrush 30 until the toothbrush 30 is in contact with the bracket 20. The magnets 27, 38 then cooperate to maintain the head 32 of the toothbrush 30 at a fixed distance from the container 10. With the head 32 fixed to the container 10, the user only needs to adjust the position of the toothbrush 30 relative to the dispenser 1 (eg, for the other of the toothbrush 30 and the container 10, rotate the toothbrush centered on each longitudinal axis) 30 or container 10) to align head 32 with aperture 17.
在頭部32完全或實質對齊孔口17下，使用者隨後可專心於適當地擠壓器皿11以便減少腔室14的容積，藉此由腔室14通過器皿11 開口及孔口17施配一些牙膏於牙刷30頭部32上。因此，施配器1協助使用者施配牙膏於牙刷的頭部上。一旦已施配所欲容積的牙膏，藉由抵抗支架20中之磁石27的吸引力，牙刷30可輕易拉離支架20，以在口腔保健階段使用牙刷。封閉物19隨後對於基部18可移到關閉位置，而不被支架20干擾。 With the head 32 fully or substantially aligned with the aperture 17, the user can then concentrate on properly squeezing the vessel 11 to reduce the volume of the chamber 14, thereby passing the chamber 14 through the vessel 11 The opening and aperture 17 are dispensed with some toothpaste on the head 32 of the toothbrush 30. Thus, the dispenser 1 assists the user in dispensing the toothpaste onto the head of the toothbrush. Once the desired volume of toothpaste has been dispensed, the toothbrush 30 can be easily pulled away from the stent 20 by resisting the attraction of the magnet 27 in the stent 20 to use the toothbrush during the oral care phase. The closure 19 can then be moved to the closed position for the base 18 without being disturbed by the bracket 20.

The container 10 of the second embodiment is identical to the container 10 of the first embodiment, and may be modified to the above-described possible variations of the container 10 of the first embodiment. In addition, the second The collar 22 of the stent 20 of the particular embodiment is identical to the collar 22 of the stent 20 of the first embodiment, and may be modified as described above for the possible variant of the collar 22 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the container 10 and the collar 22 of the second embodiment will not be described in detail.
第二具體實施例的支架20更包括在與軸環22之軸線實質平行之方向並遠離器皿11地由軸環22伸出的臂體24。臂體24在臂體24延伸離開軸環22及器皿11的方向呈長形。臂體24有附接至軸環22的第一末端25以及在軸環22遠側與其縱向相反的第二末端26。取代第一具體實施例之支架20磁石27的是，第二具體實施例的支架20在臂體24的第二末端26處包含形式為彈性Y形夾子28的牙刷附接裝置。然而，瓶蓋裝置16的封閉物19可在開啟位置、關閉位置之間移動而不被支架20阻礙。 The stent 20 of the second embodiment further includes an arm body 24 extending from the collar 22 in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the collar 22 and away from the vessel 11. The arm body 24 is elongated in a direction in which the arm body 24 extends away from the collar 22 and the vessel 11. The arm body 24 has a first end 25 attached to the collar 22 and a second end 26 opposite the longitudinal direction thereof on the distal side of the collar 22. Instead of the bracket 20 magnet 27 of the first embodiment, the bracket 20 of the second embodiment includes a toothbrush attachment device in the form of an elastic Y-shaped clip 28 at the second end 26 of the arm body 24. However, the closure 19 of the capping device 16 can be moved between an open position, a closed position, and not obstructed by the bracket 20.
支架20為一體組件。亦即，軸環22與臂體24及夾子28為一元或一體成形。支架20可由剛性或硬塑膠形成，例如聚丙烯，或可由撓性材料形成，例如橡膠或彈性材料，視需要為熱塑彈性體。 The bracket 20 is an integral component. That is, the collar 22 and the arm body 24 and the clip 28 are formed in one piece or in one piece. The stent 20 can be formed from a rigid or rigid plastic, such as polypropylene, or can be formed from a flexible material, such as a rubber or elastomeric material, optionally as a thermoplastic elastomer.
第二具體實施例的牙膏施配器2可用於其中有一部份可被夾子28接受以使牙刷連接至容器10的牙刷。參考圖4，當瓶蓋裝置16的封閉物19對於瓶蓋裝置16基部18是在開啟位置時，基部18的孔口17與施配器2的外部流體連通。牙刷40的頸部44抵抗夾子28的回彈力導入夾子28，使得夾子28夾住頸部44(參考圖5)。然後，夾子28與頸部44合作以使牙刷40的頭部42對於容器10保持在大致固定的位置。在圖示第二具體實施例的一變體中，如果頸部44可在夾子28內滑動，在頸部44被夾子28接受後，使用者可小幅調整牙刷40相對於施配器2的位置(例如，牙刷40與容器10在平行於牙刷40縱軸線之方向的相對平移，該方向大約垂直於容器10的縱軸線C-C)，以便使頭部42與孔口17最佳地對齊。 The toothpaste dispenser 2 of the second embodiment can be used with a toothbrush in which a portion can be received by the clip 28 to connect the toothbrush to the container 10. Referring to Figure 4, the aperture 17 of the base 18 is in fluid communication with the exterior of the dispenser 2 when the closure 19 of the capping device 16 is in the open position for the base 18 of the capping device 16. The neck 44 of the toothbrush 40 is introduced into the clip 28 against the resilience of the clip 28 such that the clip 28 grips the neck 44 (see Figure 5). The clip 28 then cooperates with the neck 44 to maintain the head 42 of the toothbrush 40 in a generally fixed position with respect to the container 10. In a variation of the second embodiment illustrated, if the neck 44 is slidable within the clip 28, the user can slightly adjust the position of the toothbrush 40 relative to the dispenser 2 after the neck 44 is received by the clip 28 ( For example, the relative translation of the toothbrush 40 and the container 10 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the toothbrush 40 is about perpendicular to the longitudinal axis CC of the container 10 to optimally align the head 42 with the aperture 17.
在頭部42完全或實質對齊孔口17下，使用者隨後可專心於 適當地擠壓器皿11以便減少腔室14的容積，藉此由腔室14通過器皿11開口及孔口17施配一些牙膏於牙刷40的頭部42上。因此，施配器2協助使用者施配牙膏於牙刷的頭部上。一旦已施配所欲容積的牙膏，藉由抵抗支架20之夾子28的回彈力，牙刷40可輕易拉離支架20，以在口腔保健階段被使用。封閉物19隨後對於基部18可移到關閉位置，而不被支架20干擾。 With the head 42 fully or substantially aligned with the aperture 17, the user can then concentrate on The vessel 11 is suitably squeezed to reduce the volume of the chamber 14, whereby some of the toothpaste is applied to the head 42 of the toothbrush 40 by the chamber 14 through the opening of the vessel 11 and the orifice 17. Thus, the dispenser 2 assists the user in dispensing the toothpaste onto the head of the toothbrush. Once the desired volume of toothpaste has been dispensed, the toothbrush 40 can be easily pulled away from the stent 20 for use during the oral care phase by resisting the resiliency of the clip 28 of the stent 20. The closure 19 can then be moved to the closed position for the base 18 without being disturbed by the bracket 20.

The container 10 of the third embodiment is identical to the container 10 of the first embodiment, and may be modified to the above-described possible variations of the container 10 of the first embodiment. Further, the collar 22 of the bracket 20 of the third embodiment is identical to the collar 22 of the bracket 20 of the first embodiment, and may be modified as described above for the possible variant of the collar 22 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the container 10 and the collar 22 of the third embodiment will not be described in detail.
第三具體實施例的支架20更包括在與軸環22之軸線實質平行之方向並遠離器皿11地由軸環22伸出的臂體24。臂體24在臂體24延 伸離開軸環22及器皿11的方向呈長形。臂體24有附接至軸環22的第一末端25以及在軸環22遠側與其縱向相反的第二末端26。取代第一具體實施例之支架20磁石27的是，第三具體實施例的支架20在臂體24的第二末端26處包含形式為彈性凹下承窩29的牙刷附接裝置。然而，瓶蓋裝置16的封閉物19可在開啟位置、關閉位置之間移動而不被支架20阻礙。 The stent 20 of the third embodiment further includes an arm body 24 extending from the collar 22 in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the collar 22 and away from the vessel 11. The arm body 24 is extended in the arm body 24 The direction extending away from the collar 22 and the vessel 11 is elongated. The arm body 24 has a first end 25 attached to the collar 22 and a second end 26 opposite the longitudinal direction thereof on the distal side of the collar 22. Instead of the bracket 20 magnet 27 of the first embodiment, the bracket 20 of the third embodiment includes a toothbrush attachment device in the form of an elastically recessed socket 29 at the second end 26 of the arm body 24. However, the closure 19 of the capping device 16 can be moved between an open position, a closed position, and not obstructed by the bracket 20.
支架20為一體組件。亦即，軸環22與臂體24及承窩29為一元或一體成形。支架20可由剛性或硬塑膠形成，例如聚丙烯，或可由撓性材料形成，例如橡膠或彈性材料，視需要為熱塑彈性體。 The bracket 20 is an integral component. That is, the collar 22 and the arm body 24 and the socket 29 are formed in one piece or integrally. The stent 20 can be formed from a rigid or rigid plastic, such as polypropylene, or can be formed from a flexible material, such as a rubber or elastomeric material, optionally as a thermoplastic elastomer.
第三具體實施例的牙膏施配器3可用於其中有一部份可與承窩29配對以使牙刷連接至容器10的牙刷。參考圖6，當瓶蓋裝置16的封閉物19對於瓶蓋裝置16基部18是在開啟位置時，基部18的孔口17與施配器3的外部流體連通。牙刷50頸部45上的“球”(意指凸出的半球或部份球形元件)55抵抗承窩29(參考圖7)的回彈力地與承窩29配對。然後，承窩29與球55合作以使牙刷50的頭部52與容器10保持大約固定的距離。在頭部52與容器10的距離固定下，使用者只需小幅調整牙刷50相對於施配器3的位置(例如，藉由旋轉承窩29中的球55)以便使頭部52與孔口17對齊。 The toothpaste dispenser 3 of the third embodiment can be used with a toothbrush in which a portion can be mated with the socket 29 to connect the toothbrush to the container 10. Referring to Figure 6, the aperture 17 of the base 18 is in fluid communication with the exterior of the dispenser 3 when the closure 19 of the capping device 16 is in the open position for the base 18 of the capping device 16. A "ball" (meaning a raised hemisphere or partial spherical element) 55 on the neck 45 of the toothbrush 50 is mated with the socket 29 against the resilience of the socket 29 (refer to Figure 7). The socket 29 then cooperates with the ball 55 to maintain the head 52 of the toothbrush 50 at approximately a fixed distance from the container 10. With the head 52 being fixed at a distance from the container 10, the user only needs to slightly adjust the position of the toothbrush 50 relative to the dispenser 3 (e.g., by rotating the ball 55 in the socket 29) to bring the head 52 and the aperture 17 Align.
在頭部52完全或實質對齊孔口17下，使用者隨後可專心於適當地擠壓器皿11以便減少腔室14的容積，藉此由腔室14通過器皿11開口及孔口17施配一些牙膏於牙刷50的頭部52上。因此，施配器3協助使用者施配牙膏於牙刷的頭部上。一旦已施配所欲容積的牙膏，抵抗承窩29的回彈力，球55可輕易拉離承窩29，以便能夠在口腔保健階段使用牙刷50。封閉物19隨後對於基部18可移到關閉位置，而不被支架20干擾。 With the head 52 fully or substantially aligned with the aperture 17, the user can then concentrate on properly squeezing the vessel 11 to reduce the volume of the chamber 14, whereby the chamber 14 is dispensed through the opening of the vessel 11 and the orifice 17 The toothpaste is on the head 52 of the toothbrush 50. Thus, the dispenser 3 assists the user in dispensing the toothpaste onto the head of the toothbrush. Once the desired volume of toothpaste has been dispensed against the resilience of the socket 29, the ball 55 can be easily pulled away from the socket 29 to enable the use of the toothbrush 50 during the oral care phase. The closure 19 can then be moved to the closed position for the base 18 without being disturbed by the bracket 20.
在圖示第三具體實施例的變體中，承窩29的尺寸可經製作 成可接受牙刷50之頭部52或握柄56上的球，而不是頸部52上的，以及可將支架20的臂體24適當組態成在承窩29已接受該球以使牙刷50與支架20接觸時，確保牙刷50的頭部52可與孔口17對齊。此外，儘管承窩29在上述第三具體實施例中有彈性，然而承窩29在其他具體實施例中可能沒有彈性，但是從關閉位置可操作以接受及允許移除一牙刷之一球，以及可保持在該關閉位置以保持該牙刷之該球。 In a variation of the third embodiment illustrated, the size of the socket 29 can be made The ball on the head 52 or grip 56 of the toothbrush 50 can be accepted, rather than on the neck 52, and the arm 24 of the bracket 20 can be suitably configured to receive the ball at the socket 29 to cause the toothbrush 50 When in contact with the stent 20, it is ensured that the head 52 of the toothbrush 50 can be aligned with the orifice 17.

壁部74各有內面，該等內面一起界定支架20之第二部件70的內徑並落在其上，該內徑等於或稍微小於封閉物19的外徑，藉此透過其間的推入配合或干涉連接使第二部件70留在封閉物19上。在圖示第四具體實施例中，支架20的軸環22及第二部件70各自可移除地位於基部18與封閉物19周圍，使得支架20可由容器10卸下。不過，在圖示第四具體實施例的一變體中，支架20的軸環22及第二部件70中之一者或兩者可各自永久地固定於基部18與封閉物19，例如用黏著或焊接，使得支架20無法由容器10卸下。 The wall portions 74 each have an inner face that together define an inner diameter of the second member 70 of the bracket 20 and fall thereon, the inner diameter being equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the closure 19, whereby the push therebetween The mating or interference connection causes the second component 70 to remain on the closure 19. In the illustrated fourth embodiment, the collar 22 and the second member 70 of the bracket 20 are each removably positioned about the base 18 and the closure 19 such that the bracket 20 can be removed by the container 10. However, in a variation of the fourth embodiment illustrated, one or both of the collar 22 and the second member 70 of the bracket 20 can each be permanently secured to the base 18 and the closure 19, such as by adhesive. Or welding so that the bracket 20 cannot be removed by the container 10.
鉸鏈80包含附接至軸環22的第一鉸鏈部件81以及附接至支架20之第二部件70的第二鉸鏈部件82。第一鉸鏈部件81有第一面83以及第二鉸鏈部件82有第二面84。當封閉物19對於基部18是在關閉位置時，第一及第二面83、84隔開(參考圖8)。不過，當封閉物19對於基部18是在開啟位置時，第一面83抵接第二面84以限定封閉物19對於基部18的移動(參考圖9及圖10)。具體言之，第一及第二面83、84被組態成以預定角度限制封閉物19對於基部18起於關閉位置的可能旋轉角度。在圖示具體實施例中，該預定角度等於90度。因此，第四具體實施例的支架20防止封閉物19從關閉位置對於基部18旋轉超過90度。在圖示第四具體實施例的變體中，該預定角度可為不同的角度，例如45度、60度、75度、達45度、達60度、達75度、或達90度。 The hinge 80 includes a first hinge member 81 attached to the collar 22 and a second hinge member 82 attached to the second member 70 of the bracket 20. The first hinge member 81 has a first face 83 and the second hinge member 82 has a second face 84. When the closure 19 is in the closed position with respect to the base 18, the first and second faces 83, 84 are spaced apart (see Figure 8). However, when the closure 19 is in the open position with respect to the base 18, the first face 83 abuts the second face 84 to define movement of the closure 19 to the base 18 (see Figures 9 and 10). In particular, the first and second faces 83, 84 are configured to limit the possible angle of rotation of the closure 19 from the base 18 to the closed position at a predetermined angle. In the illustrated embodiment, the predetermined angle is equal to 90 degrees. Thus, the bracket 20 of the fourth embodiment prevents the closure 19 from rotating more than 90 degrees from the closed position to the base 18. In a variation of the fourth embodiment illustrated, the predetermined angle may be a different angle, such as 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 75 degrees, up to 45 degrees, up to 60 degrees, up to 75 degrees, or up to 90 degrees.
如上述，第四具體實施例之瓶蓋裝置16的封閉物19與第一具體實施例的封閉物19相同，除了第四具體實施例的封閉物19在其側壁 19b中有一間隙19c以外。簡言之，封閉物19包含側壁19b自其下垂的面板19a，側壁19b大部份遵循一環形路徑但是在側壁19b落於路徑上的兩端之間有間隙19c。面板19a與側壁19b一起界定在封閉物19處於關閉位置時容納孔口17的空腔19d。間隙19c與由支架20之第二部件70的兩個鄰近的壁部74形成的彈性夾子76對齊。當封閉物19處於開啟位置時，牙刷60的頸部64可被夾子76接受，藉此使牙刷60對於封閉物19保持固定並連接牙刷60至容器10同時容納牙刷60的頭部62於封閉物19之空腔19d中。 As described above, the closure 19 of the capping device 16 of the fourth embodiment is identical to the closure 19 of the first embodiment except that the closure 19 of the fourth embodiment is on its side wall There is a gap 19c outside of 19b. Briefly, the closure 19 includes a panel 19a from which the side walls 19b hang down, with the side walls 19b generally following an annular path but with a gap 19c between the ends of the side walls 19b that fall on the path. The panel 19a together with the side wall 19b defines a cavity 19d that receives the aperture 17 when the closure 19 is in the closed position. The gap 19c is aligned with a resilient clip 76 formed by two adjacent wall portions 74 of the second component 70 of the bracket 20. When the closure 19 is in the open position, the neck 64 of the toothbrush 60 can be received by the clip 76, thereby holding the toothbrush 60 stationary for the closure 19 and attaching the toothbrush 60 to the container 10 while receiving the head 62 of the toothbrush 60 in the closure. 19 in the cavity 19d.
支架20為一體組件。亦即，軸環22與支架20的第二部件70及鉸鏈80為一元或一體成形。支架20可由剛性或硬塑膠形成，例如聚丙烯，或可由撓性材料形成，例如橡膠或彈性材料，視需要為熱塑彈性體。 The bracket 20 is an integral component. That is, the collar 22 and the second member 70 of the bracket 20 and the hinge 80 are formed in one piece or in one piece. The stent 20 can be formed from a rigid or rigid plastic, such as polypropylene, or can be formed from a flexible material, such as a rubber or elastomeric material, optionally as a thermoplastic elastomer.
第四具體實施例的牙膏施配器4可用於其中有一部份可被夾子76接受以使牙刷連接至容器10的牙刷。參考圖9，當瓶蓋裝置16的封閉物19對於瓶蓋裝置16基部18是在開啟位置時，基部18的孔口17與施配器4的外部流體連通。牙刷60的頸部64抵抗夾子76的回彈力被導入夾子76，使得夾子76夾住頸部64(參考圖10)。然後，夾子76與頸部64合作以使牙刷60的頭部62在空腔19d內對於容器10保持在大致固定的位置。在圖示第四具體實施例的一變體中，如果頸部64在夾子76內可滑動，在頸部64被夾子76接受後，使用者可小幅調整牙刷60相對於施配器4的位置(例如，牙刷60與容器10在平行於牙刷60縱軸線之方向的相對平移，該方向大約垂直於容器10的縱軸線C-C)，以便使頭部62與孔口17最佳地對齊。 The toothpaste dispenser 4 of the fourth embodiment can be used with a toothbrush in which a portion can be received by the clip 76 to connect the toothbrush to the container 10. Referring to Figure 9, the aperture 17 of the base 18 is in fluid communication with the exterior of the dispenser 4 when the closure 19 of the capping device 16 is in the open position for the base 18 of the capping device 16. The neck 64 of the toothbrush 60 is introduced into the clip 76 against the resilience of the clip 76 such that the clip 76 grips the neck 64 (see Figure 10). The clip 76 then cooperates with the neck 64 to maintain the head 62 of the toothbrush 60 in a substantially fixed position within the cavity 19d for the container 10. In a variation of the fourth embodiment illustrated, if the neck 64 is slidable within the clip 76, the user can slightly adjust the position of the toothbrush 60 relative to the dispenser 4 after the neck 64 is received by the clip 76 ( For example, the relative translation of the toothbrush 60 and the container 10 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the toothbrush 60 is about perpendicular to the longitudinal axis CC of the container 10 to optimally align the head 62 with the aperture 17.
在頭部62完全或實質對齊孔口17下，使用者隨後可專心於適當地擠壓器皿11以便減少腔室14的容積，藉此由腔室14通過器皿11 開口及孔口17施配一些牙膏於牙刷60的頭部62上。因此，施配器4協助使用者施配牙膏於牙刷的頭部上。一旦已施配所欲容積的牙膏，抵抗夾子76的回彈力，牙刷60可輕易拉離支架20，以在口腔保健階段被使用。封閉物19隨後對於基部18可移到關閉位置，而不被支架20干擾。 With the head 62 fully or substantially aligned with the aperture 17, the user can then concentrate on properly squeezing the vessel 11 to reduce the volume of the chamber 14, thereby passing the chamber 14 through the vessel 11. The opening and aperture 17 dispense some toothpaste onto the head 62 of the toothbrush 60. Thus, the dispenser 4 assists the user in dispensing the toothpaste onto the head of the toothbrush. Once the desired volume of toothpaste has been dispensed against the resilience of the clip 76, the toothbrush 60 can be easily pulled away from the stent 20 for use during the oral care phase. The closure 19 can then be moved to the closed position for the base 18 without being disturbed by the bracket 20.
在第一至第四具體實施例中之每一者的變體中，容器10可採用與圖示不同的形式，只要容器10界定可儲存一牙膏的一腔室以及有通過它可從該腔室施配出該牙膏的一開口。 In a variation of each of the first to fourth embodiments, the container 10 can take a different form than that illustrated, as long as the container 10 defines a chamber in which a toothpaste can be stored and through which the chamber can be accessed. The chamber dispenses an opening of the toothpaste.
在圖示第一至第四具體實施例中之每一者中，支架20附接至容器10。牙膏施配器1、2、3、4可加上附接至容器10的支架20。替換地，在圖示第一至第四具體實施例中之每一者的變體中，容器10與支架20可一起加上作為牙膏施配器套件，其中支架20不附接至容器10但是可位於容器10之一部份(例如，瓶蓋裝置16基部18)或數個部份(例如，在第四具體實施例的情形下，瓶蓋裝置16的基部18及封閉物19)周圍以使支架20附接至容器10。該套件可包含用支架20連接至容器10的牙刷。 In each of the first to fourth embodiments illustrated, the bracket 20 is attached to the container 10. The toothpaste dispensers 1, 2, 3, 4 can be attached to the bracket 20 attached to the container 10. Alternatively, in a variation of each of the first to fourth embodiments illustrated, the container 10 and the bracket 20 may be added together as a toothpaste dispenser kit, wherein the bracket 20 is not attached to the container 10 but may Located around a portion of the container 10 (e.g., the base 18 of the capping device 16) or portions (e.g., in the case of the fourth embodiment, the base 18 of the capping device 16 and the closure 19) such that The bracket 20 is attached to the container 10. The kit can include a toothbrush that is coupled to the container 10 with a stand 20.
