Claims16
A razor storage arrangement comprising a container having a dispensing opening at its upper end, a protective cover for removable securance to said container in protective position over said dispensing opening, and a razor having an elongated handle and a head at one end of said handle, said head having portions that extend laterally on either side of said handle for support of a transversely extending shaving edge, a recess in said cover for receiving the head of said razor with said handle extending downwardly below said cover along the side of said container, and structure integral with said cover and complementary with said razor for retaining said razor in releasably supported relation on said container.
A razor storage arrangement comprising a container having a dispensing opening at its upper end, a protective cover for removable securance to said container in protective position over said dispensing opening, said cover being a molded plastic member that includes an upper surface, a skirt portion with container coupling structure at the base of said skirt portion, and a razor having an elongated handle and a head at one end of said handle, said head having portions that extend laterally on either side of said handle and carrying a transversely extending shaving edge, a well in said cover for receiving the head of said razor with said handle extending downwardly below said cover along the side of said container, said well having end wall portions that prevent accidental dislodgement of a blade unit secured to said razor head and being dimensioned so that said razor head is disposed within said well and entirely below the upper surface of said cover when said razor is stored on said container, and resilient handle retention structure below said well and integral with said cover and complementary with said razor such that said razor is retained in releasably supported relation on said container with said transversely extending shaving edge protectively housed in said well.
A container cover for storing a razor that has an elongated handle and a head at one end of the handle, said head having portions that extend laterally on either side of the handle for support of a transversely extending shaving edge, comprising a molded plastic member that includes an upper surface, a skirt portion with container coupling structure at the base of said skirt portion, a recess in the cover for receiving the head of the razor with the razor handle extending downwardly below the cover, and structure integral with the cover and complementary with the razor for releasably retaining the razor in supported relation on the container when the cover is on the container.
A container cover for storing a razor that has an elongated handle and a head at one end of the handle, said head having portions that extend laterally on either side of the handle for support of a transversely extending shaving edge, comprising a molded plastic member that includes an upper surface, a skirt portion with container coupling structure and flange structure at the base of said skirt portion, said container coupling structure including a plurality of latch elements on the inner surface of said flange structure for resiliently engaging container chine structure, said flange structure having a gap through which said container chine structure is exposed, a well in the cover for receiving the entire head of the razor with the razor handle extending downwardly below the cover, a support surface in said well for receiving a lateral portion of said razor head, two upstanding spaced apart portions at the outer edge of said well that extend above said support surface, said upstanding portions defining a gap in which the upper end of said razor handle is disposed when the razor is stored on said cover and handle retention structure integral with the cover and including two spaced members that project outwardly from either side of said gap in said flange structure for receiving a razor handle therebetween in releasably secured relation so that a razor may be releasably retained in supported relation on the container when the cover is on the container.
