Abstract:
A toothbrush case comprising a lower case having a projection portion for projecting at a given height (T) on a supporting surface, an ultraviolet radiation means supported by the supporting surface in the lower case, a receiving member having a portion for receiving a toothbrush in order to sanitize said toothbrush with ultraviolet light radiated by the ultraviolet radiation means, an ultraviolet discharging outlet, and an upper case being hinge coupled with the lower case for opening and closing the receiving member, the toothbrush case further comprising:a spaced supporting portion being provided on a lower surface of the supporting surface in the lower case and being projected at the given height (T) so that ground moisture does not contact with the supporting surface and that outside air flows into a bottom of the supporting surface when the lower case is placed on the ground; a lower air flow path being formed on the supporting surface in the lower case so that outside air flows into an inside of the lower case through a space created by the spaced supporting portion; an air flow path provided between the ultraviolet radiation means and an ultraviolet discharging outlet of the receiving member so that outside air flows through the lower air flow path into a sealing space between the receiving member and the upper case, and an upper airflow path provided on the upper case so that outside air flows through the upper case into the receiving member having the air flow path.
