Dental personal items, such as orthodontic retainers and/or their boxes, dentures and the like requires to be kept in a clean, dry and safe place due to its own nature in order to reduce the risk of contamination of such items with microorganisms that may transmit diseases to the user. In some instances, whenever the user is not using such items, they may be stored in a particular and hygienic place. Such care in storing such items is very important in order to promote the health of the user. In another instance the items are not used because the user forgets to use them because they are in a hidden place.
Similarly, personal care products, such as dental floss, manual razors, toothbrushes and the like also require being kept in a clean and hygienic place. Unfortunately, such items are commonly kept at the top of the bathroom's wash basin, which is a highly humid and usually a place wherein bacteria and other microorganism may found an excellent reproductive environment.
Similarly, jewelry items, such as rings, earrings and the like requires a safe place to be store, particularly whenever the user is not wearing such items. In many occasions, such items may be lost while the user is on the shower or results uncomfortable while the user is sleeping.
Thus, a particular holder may be highly convenient in order to hygienically, properly and safely, save and store such personal items in order to reduce contact of said items with bacteria and other disease related microorganisms.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the instant invention to provide a holder for dental items such as toothbrushes, orthodontic retainers and/or their boxes and similar items, wherein such items are kept in a clean, dry, accessible and safe area. Another object of the invention is to provide a holder for dental and jewelry items wherein the holding units of said holder may be varied to the convenience and needs of the user. Yet another object of the invention is to provide a holder, wherein the holding units used to hold different personal use items may be increase by the user, because it modular design. In still another object of the invention is to provide a holder wherein the holding units have different structural shapes or holding elements that are related to the items being held in order to properly and safely hold said items. In yet still another object is to provide a holder that may be secured in different manners, for instance using a standing base, a suction cup or a toothbrush support.

Embodiment 10, as illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B, may be assembled by reversibly inserting head 27 of main elongated body 22 inside the hollow cavity 101 of rectangular body of inserting unit 30. In this manner, straight flange 28 on head 27 is cooperatively inserted inside channel 52 on the internal surface of inserting unit 30. Similarly, groove 29 on head 27 is cooperatively matched or inserted with internal bump 41 at the lower end of the internal hollow cavity 101 at inserting unit 30. As a result, main elongated body 22 is secured or fastened to the first inserting unit 30 in a strong but reversible manner. Assembling of embodiment 10 also requires the insertion of head 32 of inserting unit 30 inside the hollow cavity 103 of tray-shaped unit 54. In such connection, straight flange 35 of head 32 at inserting unit 30 is inserted into internal channel 57 of the tray-shaped unit 54, while groove 36 of inserting unit 30 is cooperatively snap on internal bump 58 located at the lower section of internal cavity 103 at lower section 55 on tray-shaped unit 54.

On the other hand, the assembling of embodiment 40, as illustrated in FIG. 2A, requires a fourth holding unit 13, which is reversible inserted to the main structure of embodiment 40 by inserting the sliding section 18 of the corresponding holding unit into the particular sliding channels 38 at the rectangular sides on the first inserting units 30, as explained previously and illustrated in FIG. 10A to 10D. In this manner, indentation 39 at the external sliding channel 38 is cooperatively coupled or snapped to flange 9 at sliding section 18 of the holding unit, thus providing strength to the reversible connection between the holding unit and the respective inserting unit matching said holding unit. The FIG. 2B, shows the embodiment 40 supported by a stand 80, using any suitable fastening mechanism, such as threading nut 81. FIG. 2C illustrates an exploded view of the embodiment 40 over a stand 80.
FIG. 4A shows embodiment 20 supported by a stand 80, using any suitable fastening mechanism, such as threading nut 81, while FIG. 4B illustrates an exploded view of the embodiment 20 over a stand 80.
For instance, lower elongated section 24 of main elongated body 22 is inserted into the hole 82 of stand 80, after the threaded nut 81 is already inside slot 83. Threading said nut 81 firmly connect main elongated body 22 to stand 80, as illustrated in FIGS. 2B and 4A. Stand 80 is particularly designed with an enclosed section 84, in order to retain any small amount of water coming from any items being hold.
Embodiments 10, 20 and 40 illustrates a manner of alternatively increasing or decreasing the number of holding units 11 to 17 presented in each particular embodiment by adding or subtracting inserting units elements such as 30 and 31 at the convenience or needs of the user. The scope of the invention also incorporates embodiments wherein the amount of inserting units may be increased in order to provide extra holding units elements. Similarly, to the discretion of the user, a particular embodiment of the invention may be used to hold one or more personal items. Alternatively, due to the versatility of some holding units, the user may also selects among the holding units those particular holding units that he or she understands fulfill his or her personal needs. Thus, each holding element type adds versatility to the invention.
FIG. 12 illustrates a perspective view of another embodiment of the invention 50 while in FIG. 13 an exploded view of embodiment 50 is shown.
