Toothbrush Sanitizing Device

Abstract

A toothbrush sanitizing device is provided. The device includes a container having a base, a perimeter wall, and an open upper end defining an interior volume. A lid is removably securable over the open upper end of the container. An elongated connecting rod is connected to the interior face of the lid. A draining base is secured to a distal end of the elongated connecting rod. The elongated connecting rod includes one or more connectors that contour to and support the head of a toothbrush. The elongated connecting rod further includes one or more fasteners that receive and support the handle of the toothbrush. In operation, the container may be filled with a safe cleaning solution and a toothbrush secured to the elongated connecting rod. When the lid is secured to the container, the toothbrush will be submersed in the safe cleaning solution for cleaning.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A toothbrush sanitizing device, comprising:
 a container;   the container includes a base, a perimeter wall extending upwardly from the base, and an open upper end defining an interior volume;   a lid removably securable over the open upper end;   the lid comprises an external surface and an internal surface;   a perimeter wall extending downwardly from the lid;   an elongated connecting rod affixed to the internal surface of the lid;   a draining base disposed on a distal end of the elongated connecting rod;   a plurality of apertures disposed on the draining base;   at least one connector disposed at a connecting point of the elongated connecting rod and the draining base; and   one or more fasteners disposed along the elongated connecting rod.   
     
     
         2 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 1 , wherein the perimeter wall of the lid encircles the open upper end of the container. 
     
     
         3 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 1 , wherein the lid is secured to the open upper end of the container via a lid fastener. 
     
     
         4 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 4 , wherein the lid fastener removably secures the lid to the container is a frictional engagement between the perimeter wall of the lid and upper end of container. 
     
     
         5 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 4 , wherein the lid fastener removably secures the lid to the container is a system of threaded interfaces; whereby a threaded interface disposed on the perimeter wall of the lid engages with a threaded interface disposed on the upper end of container. 
     
     
         6 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one connector secures the head of a toothbrush to the elongated connecting rod. 
     
     
         7 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one connector is an arcuate member affixed to the distal end on opposing sides of the elongated connecting rod. 
     
     
         8 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more fasteners secures the handle of the toothbrush to the elongated connecting rod. 
     
     
         9 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more fasteners form a U-shape that includes an open end to receive and support the handle end of the toothbrush. 
     
     
         10 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one connector is perpendicularly oriented relative to the open end of the one or more fasteners. 
     
     
         11 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 1 , wherein a safe cleaning solution is placed within the interior volume. 
     
     
         12 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 1 , wherein the elongated connecting rod and the draining base extend downwardly into the interior volume of the container when the lid is secured to the open upper end. 
     
     
         13 . The toothbrush sanitizing device of  claim 8 , wherein the safe cleaning solution passes through the plurality of apertures disposed on the draining base when the elongated connecting rod extends downwardly into the interior volume; whereby the safe cleaning solution submerges the head of the toothbrush.
