An apparatus for storing various items, like toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, razors or other toiletry and non-toiletry items. The apparatus comprises a carrier member adapted to accommodate the said items therein and a support member adapted to support the carrier member. The carrier member is separable from the support member and receivable thereinto. The carrier member is configured as a body of rotation defined by a longitudinal axis, by an upper portion, by an elongated tubular peripheral portion and by a lower portion. The carrier member and the support member are provided with a respective abutment means enabling resting of the carrier member on the support member. At least the carrier member is provided with a ventilation means and with drainage means to enable sanitary storage of the items. Both the carrier member and the support member can be used as a single standalone item suitable for sanitary storage.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for storing items, said apparatus comprising a carrier member adapted to accommodate the items therein and a support member adapted to support the carrier member; said carrier member is separable from the support member and receivable thereinto, said carrier member is configured as a body of rotation defined by a longitudinal axis, by an upper portion, by an elongated tubular peripheral portion and by a lower portion; said upper portion is open to enable placement of the items in the carrier member; said earner member and said support member are provided with a respective means for abutment enabling resting of the carrier member on the support member; and at least the carrier member is provided with a means for ventilation and with a means for drainage to enable sanitary storage of the items. 2. The apparatus for storing as defined in claim 1, in which said means for abutment is designed to prevent rotational displacement of the carrier member with respect to the longitudinal axis when the carrier member is received within the support member and rests thereon. 3. The apparatus for storing as defined in claim 2, in which the peripheral portion of the carrier member is configured as a cylinder, the means for abutment of the carrier member is located on the peripheral portion adjacent the lower portion, said means for abutment of the carrier member comprises an annular stepwise recess and discrete female cavities distributed along the annular recess; the means for abutment of the support member is configured as a stepwise protrusion with discrete male pins; said stepwise annular recess and said stepwise protrusion are configured and dimensioned to enable resting the carrier member on the support member and said female cavities and said male pins are dimensioned and disposed in such a manner that the pins may enter into respective cavities to secure position of the carrier member when it rests on the support member; and said means for ventilation comprises plurality of perforations made at least in the peripheral portion of the carrier member and said means for drainage comprises at least one aperture provided in the lower portion of the carrier member. 4. The apparatus as defined in claim 3, in which the upper portion of the carrier member is configured as a truncated cone tapering downwardly to adjoin the peripheral portion of the earner member with formation of an annular shelf region having an outside diameter exceeding the outside diameter of the peripheral portion and having an inside diameter mating the outside diameter of the peripheral portion; the lower portion of the carrier member is formed with a bottom for resting the stored items thereon, said lower portion is designed to enable steady positioning of the carrier member on a horizontal plane when the carrier member is separate from the support member; said support member comprising: several legs, each of them being defined by an upper extremity, by a leg body portion and by a lower extremity, a ring-like neck portion, adjoining the upper extremities of the legs, a lowermost portion, consisting of an internal wall, adjoining the inwardly facing surfaces of the lower extremities of the legs and an external wall, which is concentric with the internal wall and which adjoins the outwardly facing surfaces of the lower extremities of the legs, several open windows provided between the legs, each of the windows being defined by the neck portion, by the leg body portions and by the external wall, wherein the stepwise protrusion and the male pins of the support member are formed on the inwardly facing surfaces of the legs and the annular shelf region of the carrier member is adapted to rest on the neck portion of the frame when the annular depression of the carrier member rests on the corresponding stepwise protrusion of the support member. 5. The apparatus as defined in claim 4, in which said bottom of the carrier member is provided with a rest surface, which tapers downwardly and towards a central part of the bottom and the said at least one aperture is made in the central part of the bottom. 6. The apparatus as defined in claim 4, in which said bottom is formed integrally with the lower portion of the carrier member. 7. The apparatus as defined in claim 4, in which said bottom is separable from the lower portion of the carrier member. 8. The apparatus as defined in claim 4, in which the lowermost portion of the support member is provided with a cup, said cup is suitable for collecting the moisture draining from the carrier member. 9. The apparatus as defined in claim 8, in which said cup is integral with the internal wall. 10. The apparatus as defined in claim 8, in which said cup is separable from the internal wall. 11. The apparatus as defined in claim 8, in which said cup is provided with at least one through going opening. 12. The apparatus as defined in claimi 1, in which said cup is provided with a single opening, which is plugged by a removable plug. 13. The apparatus as defined in claim 4, in which the annular shelf region of the carrier member and the neck portion of the support member are formed with mating engagement surfaces. 14. The apparatus as defined in claim 13, in which said engagement surfaces are undulated. 15. The apparatus as defined in claim 4, in which a lowermost gide of said external wall is configured to enable steady positioning of the support member on a horizontal plane. 16. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, said apparatus is made of a plastic material. 17. The apparatus as defined in claim 4, in which at least the support member is made of a translucent material, at least one of the legs is hollow and provided with a removable plug to enable filling the leg's interior with a colored fluid medium. 18. A carrier member, suitable for storage of items, said carrier member is configured as a body of rotation defined by a longitudinal axis, by an upper portion, by an elongated tubular peripheral portion and by a lower portion, said upper portion is open to enable placement of the items in the carrier member and is configured as a truncated cone tapering downwardly to adjoin the peripheral portion; the lower portion of the carrier member is provided with a bottom for resting the stored items thereon and it is designed to enable steady positioning of the carrier member on a horizontal plane; said carrier member is provided with a means for ventilation and with a means for drainage to enable sanitary storage of the items. 19. A support member suitable for storing items, said support member is configured as a body of rotation comprising several legs, each of them being defined by an upper extremity, by a leg body portion and by a lower extremity a ring-like neck portion, adjoining the upper extremities of the legs, a lowermost portion, consisting of an internal wall, adjoining the inwardly facing surfaces of the legs lower extremities and an external wall, which is concentric with the internal wall and which adjoins the outwardly facing surfaces of the legs lower extremities, said lowermost portion is designed to enable steady positioning of the support member on a horizontal plane, a cup providing a floor for resting the stored items thereon, said cup is suitable for collecting moisture associated with the items and said cup is provided with a means for drainage to enable sanitary storage of the items.
