INTERDENTAL TOOTHCLEANER HOLDER

摘要

A holder for an interdental toothcleaner of the type having a substantially rigid but flexible stem and cleaning means on the stem. The holder includes a neck having a tip projection radially therefrom adjacent one end thereof and a slot extending longitudinally therealong from the one end and diametrically opposite the tip. A hole extends through the tip and transversely across the neck to the slot. A cap having a passage therethrough which is open at one end and closed at the other end is on the neck and slidable therealong. The cap has a first slot therethrough which extends from its open end and in which the tip slides. The cap has a second slot therethrough diametrically opposite the first slot. The second slot is closed at both ends with the ends being spaced from the ends of the cap. The stem of a toothcleaner passes through the hole in the tip and projects beyond the groove in the neck and through the second slot in the cap. The cap is moved on the neck causing one end of the second slot to engage the stem and bend it into the groove in the neck. The cap holds the stem in the groove to secure the toothcleaner to the support.
