Benefits of technology

The invention provides a toiletry item stand and support stand combination that allows for easy suspension of toiletry items. The stand has legs and an item receiving channel with a socket and an entry passage, allowing the toiletry item to be inserted and suspended above a support surface. The support stand has a similar design, with additional location markers for easy placement. The method for using the stand and support stand allows for easy suspension of toiletry items, such as toothbrushes and skincare products, with no additional damage or inconvenience.

Problems solved by technology

The storage of personal toiletry items such as toothbrushes and razors can pose difficulties for travelers.
As it is almost always desirable to maintain such items in a hygienic state, users are often leery of simply placing such items on basins or countertops in hotel bathroom areas.
Many fear such surfaces are unclean, and so avoid placing personal items where they may come into contact with disease and bacteria covered surfaces.

Abstract

A toiletry item stand includes a body having a first leg, a second leg, an upper portion, and an item receiving channel defined between the first and second legs. Each of the first leg and second leg terminate at a surface engagement section configured to engage a support surface upon which the toiletry item stand is placed, the surface engagement sections being separated by the item receiving channel. The item receiving channel includes an item receiving socket defined adjacent the upper portion and an item entry passage defined below the item receiving socket, the item entry passage being smaller in width than the item receiving socket. The toiletry item stand is operable to receive a portion of a toiletry item in the item receiving socket and thereby suspend a portion of the toiletry item above the support surface when the toiletry item stand is placed on the support surface.
