[0030] [Corrected 30.10.2024 according to Rule 91] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings. More details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can obviously be implemented in a variety of other ways different from the description. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations and deductions based on actual application situations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should not be limited by the content of this specific embodiment.

[0031] [Corrected 30.10.2024 in accordance with Rule 91] Figure 1 shows an expanded perspective view of a razor storage box 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The razor storage box 1 includes a cover portion 10 and a base portion 20, wherein the cover portion 10 is formed with a first storage compartment 31, and the base portion 20 is formed with a second storage compartment 32. The first storage compartment 31 is sized and shaped to accommodate a razor, while the second storage compartment 32 is designed to accommodate the blade heads of the razor. In a preferred embodiment, the first storage compartment 31 is sized to accommodate a single razor, while the second storage compartment 32 can accommodate one or more blade heads suitable for the razor. The cover portion 10 is detachably attached to the base portion 20.

[0032] [Corrected 30.10.2024 in accordance with Rule 91] As shown in FIG1 , the base portion 20 further includes a bracket 21 and a base 24. In the present invention, the bracket 21 and the base 24 are made of different materials, wherein the bracket 21 is made of an elastomeric material, specifically silicone, while the base 24 can be made of plastic, commonly used plastics including ABS. The bracket 21 is designed to hold or fix the razor in both storage and use scenarios, and the base 24 is mainly used to accommodate the cutter head 61 and form a seating surface 251 suitable for placement on a table. The bracket 21 and the base 24 are arranged side by side and interconnected to form a single integral part. In a preferred embodiment, the bracket 21 and the base 24 are formed into a single integral part during the injection molding process. In the single-piece base portion 20, the side close to the cover portion 10 is the bracket 21, and the side away from the cover portion 10 is the base 24. When the cover portion 10 is attached to the base portion 20 , the bracket 21 is fully inserted into the cover portion 10 , while the base 24 is outside the cover portion 10 .

[0033] To ensure that the cover portion 10 does not easily come loose after being placed on the base portion 20, in a preferred embodiment, a snap-fitting recess can be provided on the inner surface of the cover portion 10, and a snap-fitting protrusion can be provided on the base portion 20 to be detachably connected to the snap-fitting recess. The snap-fitting recess is located near the opening edge of the cover portion 10, and the snap-fitting protrusion is provided on the circumferential surface of the bracket 21. The cooperation between the cover portion 10 and the base portion 20 is not limited to this. In other alternative embodiments, a magnetic element can be used to connect the cover portion 10 and the base portion 20. The magnetic element can be embedded in the cover portion 10 and the base portion 20.

[0034] [Corrected 30.10.2024 according to Rule 91] Figure 3 shows a three-dimensional view of the bracket 21 of the base portion 20 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The bracket 21 formed of an elastomeric material includes a retaining recess 22, which is arranged at a position substantially in the middle of the main body of the bracket 21. The retaining recess 22 is recessed from the side of the bracket 21 away from the base 24 and extends toward the base 24. It can extend to the base 24 or close to the base 24. The inner surface of the recess 22 has a shape that is conformal to the handle of the razor to be retained. As shown in Figure 7, when the razor 60 is stored or held vertically, a section of the handle of the razor 60 away from the cutter head 61 is inserted into the retaining recess 22, and the inner surface of the retaining recess 22 envelops the outer surface of the handle of the razor 60 to provide a retaining force. In a preferred embodiment, the bracket 21 further includes grooves 23 on opposite sides of the retaining recess 22, which connect to side surfaces 26 of the bracket 21. Here, side surfaces 26 of the bracket 21 are those surfaces adjacent to the inner surface of the cover 10 after the bracket 21 is inserted into the cover 10. Thus, the grooves 23 connect to the retaining recess 22 and divide the bracket 21 into a first and second facing side portions. The first and second side portions are symmetrical about the retaining recess 22 and the grooves 23. When the bracket 21 is inserted into the cover 10, the two opposing side portions are constrained by the inner surface of the cover 10, clamping the handle and preventing the razor 60 from shaking.

[0035] [Corrected 30.10.2024 according to Rule 91] The size of the bracket 21 in the length direction of the storage box 1 (the extension direction of the handle as shown in Figure 7) preferably occupies about 1 / 3-1 / 4 of the length of the handle of the stored razor. If the bracket 21 is too short, it is not conducive to providing retention force, and if it is too long, it is inconvenient to use. The bracket 21 structure according to the present invention is suitable for inserting different styles of razors. The handles of these razors may have different shapes, but by utilizing the elasticity of the bracket 21 material itself and the flexibility of the two sides of the bracket 21 arranged facing each other, the retaining recess 22 can adaptively accommodate the handles of these razors with different shapes, and can reliably hold the razor 60 in the vertical direction as shown in Figure 7. It is particularly suitable for placing the razor in a humid environment such as a toilet to accelerate drainage, keep the razor as dry as possible, and reduce the growth of bacteria.

[0036] Preferably, the side surface 26 of the bracket 21 matches the shape of the corresponding inner surface of the cover portion 10. When the cover portion 10 is installed on the base portion 20 and the bracket 21 is received as a whole in the first accommodating chamber 31 of the cover portion 10, the side surface 26 of the bracket 21 contacts the inner surface of the cover portion, basically eliminating the deformable space between the bracket 21 and the cover portion 10, which helps to avoid the shaver in the first accommodating chamber 31 from shaking during movement.

[0037] As shown in FIG1 , a second storage compartment 32 is formed in the base 24 of the base portion 20, which is generally used to accommodate a replacement blade head 61. In a preferred embodiment, the opening of the second storage compartment 32 is located on the side of the base 24 opposite the bracket 21, and a cover 25 is provided on the opening for closing the opening.

[0038] [Corrected 30.10.2024 according to Rule 91] Figure 6 shows a three-dimensional view of the cover 25 of the second storage bin 32. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one side surface of the cover 25 provides a seating plane 251 for the base 24. In order to increase the friction of the seating plane 251 relative to the placement plane so that the storage box 1 can be placed more firmly on the plane, the seating plane 251 of the cover 25 can be additionally treated with some anti-slip treatments, such as adding an anti-slip sheet or processing an anti-slip texture on the plane 251. In addition, a hinge 252 is provided on one side edge of the cover 25. In a preferred embodiment, the hinge 252 is made of silicone, and the cover 25 is connected to the body of the base 24 via the hinge 252. In order to enhance the sealing performance of the cover 25, a sealing ring 253 is also provided on the edge of the cover 25 to prevent moisture and dust from affecting the blades stored in the second storage bin 32.

[0039] FIG4 shows a perspective view of a tool bit storage rack 50 disposed within the cavity of the base 24, while FIG5 shows a perspective view of the tool bit storage rack 50. The tool bit storage rack 50 is a unitary, integrally molded component. The internal cavity of the tool bit storage rack 50 is designed to accommodate the size of the tool bits 61, thereby providing a second storage compartment 32. As shown in FIG5 , the tool bit storage rack 50 includes a pair of first cantilevered snap-fitting members 51 extending from the opening edge of the storage rack 50. A snap-fitting portion is formed within the interior of the base 24. The storage rack 50 engages with the snap-fitting portion via the first cantilevered snap-fitting members 51, thereby securing the storage rack 50 to the cavity formed in the base 24. A gap is left between the outer wall of the tool bit storage rack 50 and the inner wall of the base 24. In other alternative embodiments, the snap-fitting structure for attaching the storage rack 50 to the base 24 may be located elsewhere, or the storage rack 50 may be secured to the base 24 by adhesive bonding or magnetic attraction.

[0040] On the other hand, in order to limit the shaking of the cutter head 61 in the second accommodating compartment 32, especially to prevent the cutter head from being damaged due to shaking when stored for travel, the cutter head storage rack 50 also includes a pair of second cantilever clamping members 52 for clamping the cutter head. The second cantilever-shaped clamping members 52 are integrally arranged on the opposite side walls of the cutter head storage rack 50. The fixed end of the second cantilever-shaped clamping member 52 is close to the bottom wall of the storage rack 50, and a protrusion 521 suitable for clamping the edge of the cutter head is formed on the free end of the cantilever. The two surfaces of the protrusion 521 facing the bottom wall of the storage rack 50 and the back surface of the bottom wall form inclined surfaces, which facilitates the insertion and removal of the blade 61.

[0041] In addition, the cutter bit storage rack 50 includes a stop portion 53, which is preferably integrally formed on the bottom wall of the storage rack 50 or the side wall adjacent to the bottom wall, so that after the cutter bit 61 is placed in the cutter bit storage rack 50, the inner bottom surface of the cutter bit storage rack 50 does not contact the cutter bit 61 stored therein, but leaves a certain gap.

[0042] When it is necessary to take out the blade head in the blade head storage rack 50, there is no need to manually take out the blade from the second storage compartment. Just insert the handle of the razor directly into the second storage compartment 32. The blade head is locked by the handle buckle. Because the blade head is fixed by the elastic structure of the storage compartment, the user only needs to hold the handle to pull out the blade head, so that the user does not directly touch the blade head, meeting the protection requirements.

[0043] [Corrected 30.10.2024 in accordance with Rule 91] The razor storage case 1 according to the present invention combines the multiple functions of travel storage and display. During normal use, the base 20 can be used to hold the razor upright, as shown in Figure 7, keeping it clean and fresh. When traveling, the cover 10 can be placed over the base 20 for quick and convenient storage. This creates a razor storage case 1 that can be flexibly used in various situations.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, to make the base 20 more stable when placed for draining, a mating block may be embedded in the base 24 or cover 25 of the base 20 to increase the weight of the base, thereby preventing the vertically placed shaver from tipping over due to an unstable center of gravity. Alternatively, the base of the base may be made of metal, thereby providing a base with a certain weight.

[0045] [Corrected 30.10.2024 according to Rule 91] On the other hand, the bracket 21 in the storage box 1 according to the present invention is made of an elastomeric material, and the retaining recess 22 therein can adapt to the different shapes of handles of different razors by means of the deformable properties of the elastomeric material, thereby improving versatility.

[0046] [Corrected 30.10.2024 in accordance with Rule 91] Although the present invention is disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art may make possible changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent variations, and modifications made to the above embodiments in accordance with the technical essence of the present invention that do not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims of the present invention.
