Molded container cap with integral razor support

Abstract

An article of manufacture for storing a razor comprises a cap such as for a shaving cream container having a wall section in which are integrally molded two spaced apart arms that are pivotable about integral living hinges out of the wall section to form a yoke in which the razor is suspended. The two spaced apart arms can have separate base sections with separate living hinges or a common base section with a common living hinge. Where the cap has a cylindrical side wall and a generally flat end wall, the two spaced apart arms can extend from a living hinge in the side wall along the side wall and into the end wall so that terminal sections of the arms form an angle with the base sections. Alternatively, the arms can be formed entirely in the side wall, and if desired, have the terminal sections project toward one another to form a reentrant opening for retaining the razor. The two spaced apart arms can also be formed in dome shaped caps in which case they will curve upward when deployed to form a yoke in which the razor is supported. In another embodiment, the two arms extend circumferentially in a cylindrical wall section of the cap.
