Abstract

The Razor-to-Can-Top Docking System allows users to hang a wide variety of razors, 5, securely on a modified aerosol-shaving cream can top, 3, for storage between uses. This is accomplished by attaching a stalk, 1B, to the can top, 3, with a nub, 1A, at the end of the stalk. The razor is hung on the stalk via a hole or cavity in the razor's handle that engages the nub, 1A, on the stalk, 1B. Without the razor, the stalk, 1B, may be put out of the way and closed to the can top. In the open position, the stalk and nub can engage the cavity. The cavity may be throughgoing or only partially excavated, leaving an undercut lip to engage the nub. It is understood that a wide variety of nub shapes and cavities may be used with the condition that the chosen nub and cavity conform to each other such that the engagement is secure.

Claims8

Dependent claims

A razor-to-can-top docking system comprising:

a can top for a cylindrical can, said can having a radius and a central axis perpendicular to a plane passing through the bottom surface of said can;
said can top having a cylindrical bottom portion with adequate radius to removably and coaxially cover said can, and an outer surface which—together with said can-top bottom portion-defines a can-top volume;
a stalk with a stalk cross-section and a first-attachment means to movably attach one end of said stalk to said can-top volume, and a conforming-nub means of greater cross-section than said stalk, attached to said stalk at the opposite, free end of said stalk;
said stalk having an open position wherein said conforming-nub means extends outwardly from said can-top volume away from said central axis, such that a projection of said open-position stalk and conforming-nub means upon said plane is greater than said can radius;
a closed position, wherein said conforming-nub means and said stalk are predominantly within said can-top volume;
a razor with a blade end and a handle end;
and a second-attachment means that releasably affixes said razor to vertically depend from said stalk and said conforming-nub means at said handle-end such that said dependant, blade-end down razor is in proximity to said can and parallel to said central axis.
