Universal holder for the concomitant storage of toothbrushes and razors

Abstract

A sanitary holder for the concomitant storage of razors and toothbrushes comprising a plate having a single planar body with an outer edge and inner center, said outer edge defining at least one aperture providing access to at least one, single combination razor and toothbrush storing recess.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]This invention relates to an apparatus and method for storing personal hygiene items primarily safety razors and toothbrushes in a bathroom environment. More particularly, the present invention relates to both free-standing and wall-mounted holders, for safety razors and toothbrushes.[0003]2. Prior Art[0004]Toothbrushes and razors are some of the most common personal hygiene tools used by men and women today. As a result their structure is well know to all. Safety razors comprise a razor cartridge mounted on a handle. Toothbrushes comprise a tooth brush head mounted on a handle.[0005]However, not all razors are the same. Not all toothbrushes are the same. A quick survey of the razor and toothbrushes offered to consumers, quickly establishes that razors and toothbrushes differ among themselves in many ways and comprise many structural variations. The shape, appearance and functional structure of razor cartridges as well as t...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012]It is a further object of the present invention to reduce the mess and clutter created by the haphazard storage of toothbrushes and razors on the side of bathroom sinks and on top of bathroom vanities.

[0013]It is still another object of the present invention to prevent the contamination of toothbrushes and razors with germs and bacteria commonly found in toothbrush and razor effluents and on bathroom sinks and vanities.

[0014]It is yet another object of the present invention to provide for a single, unitary, combination razor / toothbrush holder that permits the quick air drying of toothbrushes and razors.

[0015]It is a further object of the present invention to provide a single, unitary holder for the simultaneous storage of toothbrushes and razors, which is disposable and easily replaceable.

Problems solved by technology

However, not all razors are the same.

These structural variations in both razors and toothbrushes have made it very difficult to create a universal holder capable of storing toothbrushes of all shapes and sizes, or razors of all shapes and sizes.

Even more importantly, these structural variations in both razors and toothbrushes has made it very difficult to create a single universal holder that is capable of storing toothbrushes of all shapes and sizes and razors of all shapes and sizes, simultaneously in one holder.

As a result of these variations and the lack of a single universal holder able to accommodate them, it is not unusual when walking into a bathroom, whether residential or in a hotel room, to find toothbrushes and razors laying on their sides, by the edge of a sink, on a bathroom vanity, in a pool of effluent.

Between the mess and clutter that exist as a result of placing toothbrushes and razors by the side of the sink and allowing the effluent to deposit around them, and the knowledge that bacteria abound in the bathroom environment, such a mess and clutter are particularly distasteful and present a real problem that needs to be addressed both at the residential and at the commercial hospitality levels.

However, there is no one, single, universal holder able to accept, hold and store both toothbrushes and razors, all at the same time, in one convenient place.
