Abstract
Brushhead magazine for receiving a number of brushheads (22), comprising a plurality of containers, which lie parallel alongside one another in mutual separation, in each case fully enclose a brushhead (22) and the height of which is dimensioned to correspond approximately to the width of a brush base (26) of each brushhead (22), a coupling end of the brushheads (22) in each case facing towards the container opening (30). A wall exhibits, in the area of each container opening (30), a closing flap (32) made from dimensionally stable material, which closing flap is defined by a target rupture line (36) and a hinge (40), formed by an attenuation line (38). The closing flap (32), as its target rupture line (36) is destroyed, can be pivoted by means of the coupling end of a brush handle about the hinge (40) into an open position in the interior of the assigned container. In each container there is disposed a locking device, by means of which the closing flap (32) can be locked in its open position. The magazine offers an aesthetically appealing appearance, even once the closing flaps (32) are opened, and is economical to produce and convenient to handle.
