Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional
Patent Application Ser. No. 61/213,604, filed Jun. 24, 2009.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention generally relates to shaving
accessories, and more specifically to a razor holder for housing a
hand-held razor, which holder can be removably attached to a
conventional shaving cream dispenser.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] Hand-held razors are generally of the permanent type that
require a blade change after a certain number of uses, or the
disposable type wherein the entire razor is discarded after a
number of uses. Both types must be stored between uses. Finding an
ideal place to store the razor has been a problem in that the razor
must be stored in an environment wherein the blade is kept dry to
prevent premature deterioration. Also the razor should be stored in
a convenient place in an orderly manner. The art would certainly
welcome a reusable structure that would adequately support and
store a razor on the shaving cream dispenser. Thus, a razor holder
solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] The razor holder of the present invention is adapted to be
affixed to the outer surface of a conventional shaving cream
dispenser. The holder comprises a flexible sheet having a magnetic,
planar, inner surface. The magnetic sheet is mounted to the outer
wall of the shaving cream dispenser. A conically configured housing
is positioned on the outer surface of the sheet. The housing is
designed to contain a hand-held razor for storage therein.
[0007] Accordingly, the invention presents a device that can
quickly and easily be attached and removed from the outer (metal)
surface of a conventional shaving cream dispenser. The device
includes a housing that effectively stores a hand-held razor
therein when the razor is not in use. The invention provides for
improved elements thereof in an arrangement for the purposes
described that are inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in
accomplishing their intended purposes.
[0008] These and other features of the present invention will
become readily apparent upon further review of the following
specification and drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0009] FIG. 1 is an environmental, perspective view of a razor
holder according to the present invention.
[0010] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a razor holder according to
the present invention.
[0011] FIG. 3 is an environmental, top view of a razor holder
according to the present invention.
[0012] Similar reference characters denote corresponding features
consistently throughout the attached drawings.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0013] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the razor holder is generally
indicated at 10. Holder 10 comprises a thin flexible sheet 12
having a magnetic inner surface 12a. The sheet 12 is preferably of
a substantially rectangular configuration and is dimensioned to
partially surround the metallic outer surface of a conventional
shaving cream dispenser 14. It should be recognized, however, that
the sheet 12 might take on other suitable configurations, if
desired. A housing 16 is positioned on the outer surface 12b of the
sheet 12. The outer surface 12b is preferably non-magnetic. Housing
16 is fabricated from a thin formable material (metal, plastic,
etc.) and is attached to the outer surface 12b by any suitable
means (glue, rivets, grommets, etc.). The housing 16 is provided
with an open top 16a and an open bottom 16b. A handheld razor R may
be disposed in the housing 16 for storage when the razor R is not
in use. When the dispenser 14 is empty, the razor holder 10 is
simply removed and magnetically attached to a fresh shaving cream
dispenser can.
[0014] It is to be understood that the present invention is not
limited to the embodiment described above, but encompasses any and
all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
