The invention relates to a device for receiving and Removing cotton swab or the like, consisting of a the swab receiving housing.
Cotton swabs are in special packaging, often in doses with lids offered. After purchasing these packages are usually housed in cabinets of bathrooms and from same - as needed - the cotton swab for use removed. It is, depending on the type of packaging, extremely cumbersome, the cotton buds by hand from the refer packaging. In most cases, is more than a cotton swab detected or a cotton swab sticks another cotton swab, which then falls back into the package and there ensures clutter and ensure that the taking of another Disabled swab. In addition, it is also often considered time consuming, that - when quickly a cotton swab a wardrobe and a package is first opened - is required must be, which are then closed again.
The invention is therefore based on the object, a device for receiving and sampling of cotton swab or the like create, which ensures a good view of cotton swabs and with, without any problems, it is ensured that in each case only a cotton swab can be removed.
To achieve this object, according to the invention at a proposed device of the kind described above, that the housing at least two parallel succession extending, several superimposed cotton swab with game receiving Wells with sloped bottom, in that the frontmost Shaft in a just a cotton swab receiving slide passes under which a discharge chamber is arranged, and in that located one between two consecutive manholes Partition can be raised by a predetermined amount as required.
With such a device designed to be cotton swab first individually filled into the wells. By appropriately Moving the slider is only a cotton swab passed to the extraction chamber from which it then slightly can be detected and removed. The previously customary Search deleted by swab. The device according to the invention can easily, for example, in a bath at a Wall will be fastened, whereby it is expedient, this device or their housings with other cases, the toothpaste, Toothbrushes, tissues or cotton pads absorb to is integrated, so that a large unit is formed, the Always keep handy in a bath needed things.
Further characteristics of a device according to the invention are in Claims 2 to 6 disclosed.
The invention will now by way of a drawing in a very simplified manner embodiment shown explained in more detail.
In this drawing, an apparatus 1 is provided for receiving and unloading represented by cotton swab 14 in a simplified manner, the first translucent of a housing 2, for example, Plastic, has a rectangular cross section. The housing 2 has a front wall 2a, back wall 2b and two side walls 2c. From the back wall 2b a leading example at an angle of 45 ° downwardly extending bottom 2d to about the inner surface of the front wall 2a. In the lower portion go both the side walls 2c and 2d of the bottom in a Base 3 over. In the illustrated embodiment is in this base 3 a recess 4 is working t, in which a Slide 5 is inserted. This slide 5 is normally under the tension of at least one prestressed tension spring 6. In the drawn position of the slide 5, the same can only be moved against the force of the spring. 6
In the region between the base 2d, the front wall 2a and the base plate 3 is incorporated, a channel 7, of the in the normal position Slide 5 passes into a recess eighth In the drawing illustrated position of the slide 5 is the recess 8 through a case opening 9 in the base 3 is incorporated. Under the base plate 3 and thus below the case opening 9 is an extraction chamber 10th
The distance between the two side walls 2c of the housing 2 is formed such that it is slightly larger than the longest, on the market cotton swab 14. In the Sidewalls 2c are now incorporated on the inside vertical grooves, be in the partitions 11 inserted from the top can. be between them through these partitions 11 and the front wall 2a and the rear wall 2b shafts 12 is formed, whose Width slightly larger than the largest diameter Cotton swab is. For example, by removing a Cover 13 can now the shafts 12, as partially indicated, are filled with the cotton swab 14th
In the illustrated position of the partitions 11 fall in the frontmost Shaft 12 located or charged swab 14 first into the channel 7 and from there - in the normal position the slide 5 - in the recess 8. It remains the lowest Cotton bud 14 at the bottom of the recess 4 in the slide 5 lie. Now, when the slide 5, in the recess 8, the swab 14 is pulled forward, the same falls down into the extraction compartment 10, from which it then, as already mentioned above, can be taken out.
All partitions 11 are on their underside with a guide plate 15 fitted parallel to the ground and 2c viewed also extends below the cross-section of a shaft 12th Have now from the front shaft 12 all cotton swab 14 taken, the first partition wall 11, together with their guide plate 15 moves upward. Thus, the channel 7 is backwards and extended upward so that now the swab 14 from the second shaft 12 into the duct 7 and from there through the base plate 3 reach the recess 8 of the slide. 5 Is also This shaft 12 is empty, the next partition 11 is also pulled upward by a predetermined amount, so that now the next slot 12 provides for the supply of cotton swabs 14 is. Are all shafts 12 empty, the same again again filled with cotton swabs.
In the amendment described embodiment, it is possible 13 provide openings in the cover, through which the Shafts 12 can be filled with cotton swabs 14th
