PCT No. PCT/NZ96/00114 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 7, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 7, 1998 PCT Filed Oct. 10, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/13472 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 17, 1997This invention relates to a toothpick holder and toothpicks. The toothpicks are provided in and securely attached by at least one part to a support means which provides protection on at least one end and both sides of the toothpick or toothpicks in one plane. The toothpick or toothpicks are therefore protected from damage by unintentional forces applied in those planes. The toothpick holder will generally incorporate a plurality of toothpicks, and may also include a holding means for used toothpicks and a base plate for securing the holder in a match-book-type folder. The invention also relates to particular designs of toothpicks held in the support means, said toothpicks having a substantially square or rectangular handle end and a scalpel-shaped blade end, upper and side edges of which come to a point to form the pick end. |
