Abstract

A device for holding a mouth-rinsing glass, toothbrushes and a tube of dentifrice comprises a molded synthetic resin body provided with two upwardly open mutually adjacent receptacles, one of which is dimensioned to receive a glass or cup while the other receives a tubular insert provided with at least two laterally extending ribs subdividing the second receptacle into a plurality of compartments each of which can receive the handle of a toothbrush. A tube of dentifrice can be inserted into the insert which is laterally open in the direction of the first receptacle to afford access to the finger of a user so as to enable him to remove the tube of dentifrice from the insert even when the tube has been shortened in use.
