  The inner case 13 is composed of a bottomed cylindrical shape whose cross section is formed in an elliptical shape, and its upper surface is opened so that a toothpick can be easily taken in and out. The bottom surface of the inner case 13 is inclined so that both sides of the bottom surface are inclined downward toward the center side, and the front and rear of the bottom surface are inclined downward from the rear part to the front part, so to speak, as a whole toward one point on the outer peripheral edge part. Has an inclined bottom shape. With this bottom shape, the tip of the toothpick is naturally collected at the bottom of the inclined bottom surface, so even if the remaining number of toothpicks decreases, it can be gathered in that one place, and the toothpick grab swing arm up to the last one 12 can be taken out using. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the inner case 13 is formed in an elliptical shape. However, the shape is not limited to this, and any shape can be used as long as it can maintain the above functions, such as a circular shape or a polygonal shape. Selectable.

  In addition, a through vertical hole 16 is formed in the side wall of the inner case 13 for penetrating the toothpick swinging arm 12 and guiding the swinging up and down. The through-hole 16 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape with the top and bottom as the longitudinal direction, and the upper end portion of the through-hole 16 regulates the upper limit swing position of the toothpick swing arm 12.

  Further, on the outer wall of the inner case 13 and in the vicinity of the side of the through-hole 16, the arm support portion 1 having the pin shaft 3 for swinging and supporting the toothpick swinging arm 12 projects outward. It is installed. Further, on the outer wall of the inner case 13 and above the arm support portion 1, a hanging column 7 for hooking the upper end of the urging member 6 is projected.
