[0052] This utility model provides a travel container for a personal care device, the travel container comprising:

[0053] (i) an elongated first portion, which includes:

[0054] Base;

[0055] Top surface, which is opposite to the base; and

[0056] The elongated portion, located between the base and the top surface,

[0057] The top surface includes a hole or notch for receiving a portion of the handle of the personal care device within the elongated portion; and

[0058] (ii) A sheath, which is slidably attached to the first portion, wherein the sheath is slidably movable from a first position to a second position on the outer surface of the elongated first portion.

[0059] in:

[0060] The travel container is self-standing; and

[0061] When the personal care device is placed in the travel container, the functional head of the personal care device is surrounded by the sheath when the sheath is in the first position, and the functional head of the personal care device is exposed when the sheath is in the second position.

[0062] As used herein, a personal care device refers to a device used by a consumer during personal care activities such as washing and grooming. In some configurations, a personal care device may be a razor, a shaver, or a toothbrush. In some configurations, a personal care device may be a razor. A functional head of a personal care device refers to the part of the personal care device that performs the function of the personal care device. A functional head may correspond to or include replaceable parts of the personal care device. Examples of functional heads of personal care products include the blade holder of a cassette razor, the blade of a safety razor, the cutting part of a razor, or the brush head of a toothbrush. Typically, a personal care device intended for placement in a travel container as defined herein has a functional head and an elongated handle, wherein the functional head is located at a first end of the elongated handle. The elongated handle may have a second end that does not include the functional head.

[0063] The travel container is self-standing. In the context of this invention, this should be understood to mean that the travel container is self-standing when the base is placed on a flat surface. For the travel container to function as a support for a personal care device, it is typically self-standing when the sheath is in the second position, with the functional head of the personal care device exposed. The travel container is typically self-standing when the sheath is in the first position.

[0064] The first part has an elongated shape and includes a base, such as a base for placement on a flat surface. The first part also includes a top surface opposite the base and an elongated portion between the top surface and the base. The top surface includes a hole or notch for receiving a portion of the handle of the personal care device, such that said portion of the handle of the personal care device can be accommodated within the first part. Typically, only a portion of the handle of the personal care device can be received within the first part, such that the remaining portion of the handle extends outside the first part and can be grasped by a consumer attempting to remove the personal care device from the travel container. When a portion of the handle of the personal care device extends outside the first part of the travel container, the functional head of the personal care device will also be outside the first part.

[0065] The reference in this article to a personal care device placed in a travel container should be understood as referring to placing the second end of the handle of the personal care device as described above into a hole or notch in the first part of the travel container.

[0066] The sheath slides on the outer surface of the first part. The sheath can occupy a first position in which it has a minimal overlap with the first part, i.e., the sheath extends as far away from the first part as possible. In this first position, the portion of the sheath that does not overlap with the first part defines a cavity that can accommodate the portion of the personal care device that extends from the first part. Typically, this includes the functional head of the personal care device. In this way, the sheath can protect the functional head of the personal care device from accidental damage during travel.

[0067] In some configurations, when the sheath is in the first position, no more than 35% of the outer surface area of ​​the sheath overlaps with the first portion. In other words, at least 65% of the outer surface area of ​​the sheath does not overlap with the first portion, thus corresponding to the portion of the sheath that defines the cavity in the first position. To provide a compact travel container, it is preferable that the degree of overlap between the sheath and the first portion is minimized when the sheath is in the first position. Therefore, in some configurations, when the sheath is in the first position, no more than 30% (e.g., no more than 25%, or no more than 20%) of the outer surface area of ​​the sheath overlaps with the first portion.

[0068] The sheath can slide from a first position to a second position, in which the sheath has the largest area overlapping the first portion, i.e., the sheath is retracted to the maximum extent on the first portion. In this second position, only a small portion of the sheath extends beyond the first portion, so that the sheath does not constitute a substantial cavity. When the personal care device is placed in the travel container (e.g., when the second end of the personal care device's handle is inserted into the hole or notch of the first portion), the functional head of the personal care device (and typically a portion of the personal care device's handle) is exposed and can be gripped by the consumer. Therefore, the consumer can easily remove the personal care device from the travel container, and the travel container can serve as a support for the personal care device.

[0069] In some configurations, when the sheath is in the second position, at least 75% of the outer surface area of ​​the sheath overlaps with the first portion. In other words, no more than 25% of the outer surface area of ​​the sheath does not overlap with the first portion, thus corresponding to the portion of the sheath that defines the cavity in the second position. Disadvantageously, the second position results in a larger cavity formed by the sheath, as the sides of the sheath may obstruct the user's attempt to remove the personal care device from the travel container. Therefore, preferably, when the sheath is in the second position, the degree of overlap between the sheath and the first portion is maximized. Thus, in some configurations, when the sheath is in the second position, at least 80% (e.g., at least 85%, at least 90%, or at least 95%) of the outer surface area of ​​the sheath overlaps with the first portion.

[0070] To ensure the stability of the travel container when the base is placed on a flat surface, in some configurations, the sheath does not extend beyond the base of the first portion when the sheath is in the second position. This advantageously allows the travel container to be placed on the base when the sheath is in the first position and the sheath to be moved to the second position without needing to pick up or move the travel container. This allows easy access to the personal care device placed inside the travel container.

[0071] To facilitate easy operation of the sheath, the travel container may include a biasing device for biasing the sheath toward a first position. This means that the default position of the sheath will be the first position, and the user can slide the sheath to a second position. The biasing device may include any suitable device, such as one or more of the following: springs, magnets, and air suspension.

[0072] In some configurations, the travel container may also include a sheath locking device for releasably locking the sheath in a second position. This may be particularly advantageous when the travel container includes a biasing device for biasing the sheath toward a first position, as it allows the user to simply slide the sheath to the second position and engage the sheath locking device, which is preferably automatically engaged when the sheath is placed in the second position. The sheath locking device may include any suitable means, such as a pair of interlocking members, which are preferably automatically interlocked when the sheath is placed in the second position and can be disengaged when needed by the user. For example, the first interlocking member may be located on the first portion, and the second interlocking member may be located on the sheath. Alternatively or additionally, the sheath locking device may include a pair of magnets, wherein the attraction of the magnets is sufficient to overcome the biasing device for biasing the sheath toward the first position. In this case, the first magnet may be located on the first portion, and the second magnet may be located on the sheath.

[0073] The sheath locking device can be released by a first actuator, which in some configurations may take the form of a button, a sliding button, or a rotary knob, but those skilled in the art should understand that other drive mechanisms may be used.

[0074] The sheath may include a sheath body defining an opening and a sheath cap for closing the opening. The sheath body may correspond to a sliding portion of the sheath on a first part, and the sheath opening is an opening through which a personal care device will extend when the sheath is in a second position. The sheath cap is capable of closing the sheath opening such that the sheath completely surrounds a cavity in which the personal care device (more particularly, the functional head of the personal care device) is stored. The sheath cap may be openable or removable to allow the sheath to slide from the first position to the second position on the first part without colliding with the personal care device contained in the travel container.

[0075] The cover can be opened to any suitable angle, such as up to 270°.

[0076] In this configuration, the travel container may include a lid locking device for releasably locking the cover in a closed position. This lid locking device may include any suitable means, such as a pair of interlocking components that preferably automatically interlock when the cover is closed or placed on the cover body and can be disengaged when needed by the user. For example, the first interlocking component may be located on the cover body, and the second interlocking component may be located on the cover. Alternatively or additionally, the cover locking device may include a pair of magnets, wherein the attraction of the magnets is sufficient to overcome a biasing device used to bias the cover toward a first position. In this case, the first magnet may be located on the cover body, and the second magnet may be located on the cover.

[0077] In some configurations, the cover may be an openable cover, and the cover may include a cover biasing device for biasing the cover toward an open position. This cover biasing device may include one or more of the following: a torsion spring and a pair of mutually repelling magnets. The presence of the cover biasing device allows the cover to be easily opened, enabling the cover to move from a first position to a second position.

[0078] In some configurations, the cap locking device can be released via an actuator. This actuator can be a second actuator, separate from the first actuator. However, in some configurations, the cap locking device can be released via the first actuator. By making both the cap locking device and the sheath locking device release via the first actuator, the user only needs to interact with a single actuator when the sheath moves from the first position to the second position and back to the first position.

[0079] The first part may include an elongated support region extending from the top surface. This elongated support region helps support the functional head of the personal care device. For example, the functional head of the personal care device can rest against the elongated support region to support the personal care device inside a travel container.

[0080] The elongated support area may include one or more holes to allow airflow through it. This helps dry the functional head of the personal care device after use and subsequent storage in a travel container (e.g., when using the travel container as a stand). This will help reduce the incidence of rust or microbial growth on the personal care device, especially on its functional head.

[0081] The elongated support region may include a support element for preventing movement of the personal care device placed in a travel container. This support element may be configured to engage with a handle or functional head of the personal care device to stabilize it. Examples of suitable support elements include: a concave region for receiving or engaging a portion of the personal care device (e.g., a handle or functional head); a protrusion for engaging with a corresponding notch in the personal care device (e.g., in a handle or functional head); or a lateral support element for engaging with the personal care device (e.g., a handle or functional head) (e.g., to prevent lateral movement).

[0082] In some configurations, the support element may include a magnet for engagement with the magnetic portion of the personal care device. In this case, the support element may have the shape / features described above; however, the presence of the magnet avoids the need for a specific shape and allows the travel container to be used for a wider range of personal care devices.

[0083] In some configurations, the first part includes a drainage channel extending from the hole or recess to the exterior of the first part. When the base is placed on a flat surface, the drainage channel allows water to drain from the interior of the hole or recess to the exterior of the first part (e.g., the exterior of a travel container) by gravity. The drainage channel can also allow water to flow out of the travel container through the base by gravity. This advantageously prevents water from accumulating within the hole or recess, thereby reducing the risk of microbial growth.

[0084] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0085] Figure 1 The diagram shows a perspective view (left) and a rear view (right) of a travel container 100 according to the present invention. The travel container 100 includes an elongated first portion 110 and a sheath 120 slidably attached to the first portion 110. The sheath 120 is slidable from a first position to a second position on the outer surface of the elongated first portion 110. Figure 1 In the text, the sheath is indicated as being in the first position. The sheath will be discussed later. Figure 4A , 4B and Figure 5The second position is indicated in the diagram. The sheath 120 includes a sheath body 121 that defines a sheath opening closed by the sheath cover 122. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the cover 122 is openable and attached to the cover body 121 via a hinge assembly 123. The cover 120 may include a cover biasing device (not shown) for biasing the cover 122 toward an open position, and the biasing device may include one or more of a torsion spring (e.g., as part of the hinge assembly 123) or a pair of mutually repelling magnets. The cover 120 may also include a cover locking device (not shown) for locking the cover 122 in a closed position. The cover 120 may include an actuator 124, which may be in the form of a button, such as... Figure 1 As shown. Actuator 124 can be configured to drive a cover locking device and an optional sheath locking device for locking the sheath in a first position. Sheath 120 may also include one or more vents 125 for allowing airflow into and out of the interior of sheath 120. This allows water inside the travel container to evaporate even when the cover 122 is in the closed position, thereby reducing microbial growth inside the travel container.

[0086] Figure 2 It indicates Figure 1 The diagram shows a perspective view of the bottom of the travel container, with an enlarged portion A. The first portion 110 includes a base 111. The first portion 110 also includes a drainage channel 112 extending from a hole or notch to the outside of the first portion, allowing water to drain from the travel container. The first portion 110 also includes one or more feet 113, which may be made of a polymer material with a higher coefficient of friction than the rest of the first portion 110. Thus, when the travel container is placed on a surface, the one or more feet 113 can help stabilize the travel container and prevent accidental movement or slippage.

[0087] Figure 3 It indicates Figure 1The diagram shows a perspective view of a travel container 100, but with the cover 122 in the open position. The travel container 100 includes a cover locking device for releasably locking the cover 122 in a closed position. The cover locking device includes a pair of interlocking parts 123a and 123b, wherein the first interlocking part 123a is located on the cover body 121 and the second interlocking part 123b is located on the cover 122. Alternatively, the cover locking device may include a pair of magnets, wherein the first magnet is located on the cover body 121 and the second magnet is located on the cover 122. The cover 120 may include a cover biasing device for biasing the cover 122 toward the open position. The cover biasing device may include a torsion spring (e.g., located around a hinge connecting the cover 122 to the cover body 121) or a pair of mutually repelling magnets (e.g., one magnet on the cover 122 and one magnet on the cover body 121). The dashed box on the right side represents different angle / exploded views of the hinge mechanism between the sheath body 121 and the sheath cover 122. The sheath cover biasing device 126 may be in the form of a torsion spring.

[0088] Figure 4A and 4B The diagram shows a rear view (left) and a perspective view (right) of the travel container 100, with the cover 122 in the open position and the cover 120 in a second position. Because the cover 120 is in the second position, the top surface 114 of the first portion is visible. The top surface 114 includes a hole / recess 115 for receiving a portion of the handle of a personal care device, thereby allowing the personal care device to be stored in the travel container. Figure 4A and 4B As can be seen, the sheath 120 substantially overlaps with the first portion, and at least 90% of the outer surface area of ​​the sheath overlaps with the first portion. Furthermore, when the sheath 120 is in the second position, it does not extend beyond the base of the first portion. The first portion 110 includes an elongated support region 130 extending from the top surface 114 for supporting the functional head of the personal care device. The support region 130 may include a hole 131 for allowing airflow through the support region, which helps to dry the functional head of the personal care device when stored in a travel container. The support region 130 also includes a support element 132 for preventing movement of the personal care device stored in the travel container. Figure 4BThe support element 132 shown includes a concave region for receiving or engaging a portion of the personal care device, but the support element 132 may alternatively or additionally include one or more protruding or lateral support elements for engaging a portion of the personal care device. The support element 132 may include a magnet that allows the personal care device to be magnetically secured within the travel container. The travel container 100 may include a biasing device for biasing the sheath 120 toward a first position. The biasing device may take the form of a spring (concealed) supported on a guide rod 133, which is compressed when the sheath is in a second position. For example, a first end of the spring may be attached to or abut against the sheath 120, and a second end of the spring may be attached to or abut against a first portion 110, such that the spring is compressed as the sheath 120 moves from the first position to the second position. Figure 4A and 4B In the configuration, when the sheath 120 is in the second position, only the guide rod 133 of the biasing device is visible because the spring is compressed and located behind the sheath 120. Alternatively, the biasing device may include springs, magnets, and / or air suspensions with different configurations.

[0089] Figure 5 The images show a side view (left) and a perspective view (right) of the travel container 100, with the sleeve in the second position and the sleeve cover open, as shown in... Figure 4A and 4B In the case of a personal care device (in this case, a razor), the device is stored in the travel container.
