Abstract
A personal hygiene container system; the system provides a raised cylindrical housing having a separator and draining fence for storing personal hygiene utensils. The housing includes a removable lid and a fluid drain hole to allow excess moisture or fluids to safely flow away from the internal chamber of the housing. A draining tray is also provided to receive any excess liquid that may escape through the drain hole. The personal hygiene container system is useful for retaining personal utensils in a clean storage environment that helps prevent the buildup of mold and other bacteria, as well as preventing unsanitary airborne particles from accumulating on said hygiene utensils.
Claims17
A personal hygiene container system, the system comprising:
- a) a cylindrical housing comprising:
- i) an internal volume;
- ii) a personal hygiene utensil separator;
- iii) a draining fence;
- iv) at least two stilts;
- and
- v) a funnel-shaped bottom comprising:
- (1) a fluid drain hole;
- b) a removable lid;
- and
- c) a removable draining tray comprising:
- i) at least two divots;
- d) wherein said internal volume is physically bounded by said cylindrical housing, said funnel-shaped bottom, and said removable lid;
- e) wherein said cylindrical housing, said funnel-shaped bottom, and said removable lid are structured and arranged to physically configure said internal volume to receive personal hygiene utensils;
- f) wherein said at least two divots are structured and arranged in said funnel-shaped bottom to mate with said at least two stilts wherein said funnel-shaped bottom is removably mechanically attached to said cylindrical housing;
- g) wherein said removable lid is structured and arranged with said cylindrical housing to completely encloses a top of said cylindrical housing when said removable lid is positioned on the top of said cylindrical housing;
- h) wherein said personal hygiene utensil separator and said draining fence are structured and arranged with said cylindrical housing for removably coupling of said personal hygiene utensil separator and said draining fence to said cylindrical housing;
- i) wherein said draining fence is structured and arranged with said cylindrical housing to keep the personal hygiene utensils suspended above said funnel-shaped bottom;
- j) wherein said at least two stilts are structured and arranged with said cylindrical housing and with said at least two divots within said removable draining tray to provide a clearance between said fluid drain hole and said removable draining tray;
- and
- k) wherein said cylindrical housing is structured and arranged with said removable tray such that said cylindrical housing rests completely within a perimeter of said removable draining tray.
