Abstract: A cassette for disposing waste is provided having a variable cross-sectional geometry. The cross-sectional geometry varies at least at two locations around the periphery of the cassette such that a first maximum height at a first location is different than a second maximum height at a second different location, and the first maximum width at a first location is different than a second maximum width at a second location.

Abstract: A safety razor handle has a body having a cartridge attachment end with an adjoined elongated hollow portion terminating in an opening at an opposed end of the body. A pushbutton is slidably retained in the opening and movable along an axis of the hollow portion between an at-rest position and a depressed position. An elongated transfer rod is located in the hollow portion and has a first end in the cartridge attachment end region of the hollow portion and a second end closely abutting the pushbutton. A compression spring acts between the cartridge attachment end and the first end of the transfer rod to bias the transfer rod along the axis towards the opening. An ejector is mounted in the cartridge attachment end having an outer end extendable outwardly from the cartridge attachment end and an inner end closely abutting the first end of the transfer rod.

Abstract: A diaphragm for a container assembly for dispensing products such as wipes or sheets, or collecting and/or storing products, including waste products. The container assembly has diaphragm with a central aperture and at least one petal. The diaphragm is a portion of the lid or the container. The aperture allows a user to insert one or more fingers (or hand) to pull the first sheet out or alternatively, deposit an item into the container. The diaphragm has one or more slits separating the outer periphery of the diaphragm from portions of the petals, thereby reducing the force required to deflect the diaphragm.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a tray for a shaving implement having a powered device includes a base, at least one engagement structure, and at least one protrusion. The base has a length and a width that are at least approximately as long as a length and a width of the shaving implement, respectively. The base also has a height. The engagement structure(s) are operable to releaseably secure the shaving implement to the tray. The protrusion(s) extend heightwise from the base and are positioned substantially adjacent to a switch on the shaving implement that controls the powered device. The protrusion(s) extend to a height that is at least as high as the switch when the shaving implement is releasably secured in the engagement structure(s) and guard the switch from contact with outside forces that can unintentionally power on the battery-powered device.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a razor handle includes a connecting pod and a first handle portion. The connecting pod has a cartridge-connecting member, and a handle-connecting member. The first handle portion includes a pod-connecting member, and includes a first molded portion, a battery-powered device, and a second molded portion. The battery-powered device is at least partially encased between the first molded portion and the second molded portion. The handle-connecting member of the connecting pod is connected to the pod-connecting member of the first handle portion such that the connecting pod and the first handle portion are not detachable during normal use of the razor handle. The cartridge-connecting member of the connecting pod is operable to connect to a selectively detachable razor cartridge.
