Abstract
A portable toothbrush holding device for sanitarily holding a toothbrush having a generally planar shape manufactured from a rigid polymer, such as acrylic resin, embodying a predefined shape with at least one linear edge for resting on a planar surface such as a counter or lavatory basin. The toothbrush holder comprises one or more holes there through for the passage of a toothbrush handle. The distal end of the toothbrush handle rests upon the surface such as a counter or lavatory basin, while the bristle end of the toothbrush is elevated off the counter surface due to the propping action of the toothbrush holder, positioned proximate to the bristle end of the toothbrush.
Claims5
A portable toothbrush holding device formed of a rigid polymer, for sanitarily holding a toothbrush upon a horizontal support surface comprising:
- a generally planar shaped monolithic body having a first side and a second side;
- at least one edge for resting upon said planar surface;
- at least one aperture through said planar surface from said first side to said second side;
- wherein when a distal handle end of a toothbrush opposite a bristle end of said toothbrush is placed through said aperture of said toothbrush holding device so as to position said bristle end of said toothbrush proximate to said tooth brush holding device, said linear edge of said toothbrush holder is rested upon said horizontal support surface so as to orientate said toothbrush holder generally perpendicular to said planar surface forming a prop, providing said distal handle end to rest upon said horizontal support surface and said bristle end of said toothbrush to be elevated above said horizontal support surface.
A portable toothbrush holding device formed of a rigid polymer, for sanitarily holding a toothbrush upon a horizontal support surface comprising:
- a generally planar shaped monolithic body having a first side and a second side;
- at least one edge for resting upon said horizontal support surface surface;
- a plurality of apertures through said planar surface from said first side to said second side, at least one aperture having a diameter greater than the width of said toothbrush handle;
- wherein when a distal handle end of a toothbrush opposite a bristle end of said toothbrush is placed through said aperture of said toothbrush holding device so as to position said bristle end of said toothbrush proximate to said tooth brush holding device, said linear edge of said toothbrush holder is rested upon said horizontal support surface so as to orientate said toothbrush holder generally perpendicular to said planar surface forming a prop, providing said distal handle end to rest upon said horizontal support surface and said bristle end of said toothbrush to be elevated above said horizontal support surface.
A portable toothbrush holding device formed of a rigid polymer, for sanitarily holding a toothbrush upon a generally horizontal surface comprising:
- a generally planar shaped monolithic body having a first side and a second side, said body being of uniform thickness with a predetermined height to width ratio;
- at least one edge for resting upon said horizontal support surface, said edge having a relatively planar surface adapted to rest upon said generally horizontal support surface;
- a plurality of apertures through said planar surface from said first side to said second side, at least one aperture having a diameter greater than the width of said toothbrush handle;
- wherein when a distal handle end of a toothbrush opposite a bristle end of said toothbrush is placed through said aperture of said toothbrush holding device so as to position said bristle end of said toothbrush proximate to said tooth brush holding device, said linear edge of said toothbrush holder is rested upon said horizontal support surface so as to orientate said toothbrush holder generally perpendicular to said planar surface forming a prop, providing said distal handle end to rest upon said horizontal support surface and said bristle end of said toothbrush to be elevated above said horizontal support surface.
