Abstract

A hygienic frictional toothbrush mounting system includes a mounting member or holder and at least one toothbrush. The mounting member is formed of translucent plastic and includes at least one recess for receiving the toothbrush. The recess is shaped to position the toothbrush laterally and vertically within the recess. The recess shape is customized to correspond to the shape of a particular brand or type of toothbrush to be held. The translucent configuration of the mounting member permits easy visual inspection of the system to ensure hygienic cleanliness of the system. A toothbrush includes a handle region having a predetermined surface contour, and a mounting member includes a recess having a recessed surface contour for engaging the predetermined surface contour of the toothbrush handle region. The toothbrush is secured in the mounting member by friction between portions of the engaged surface contours. The mounting member is affixed to a vertical surface such as a wall or mirror. The bristles of the toothbrush are held in a hygienic position, free from interference with portions of the holder or other objects. The toothbrush is neatly and securely held in a convenient, out of the way location.
