Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an apparatus and method for fracturing solid matter. The apparatus including an elongated element, the elongated element including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end are wider than the elongated element and wherein an intermediate portion of the elongated element is formed between the first end and the second end, wherein the intermediate portion is configured to contain a first liquid between the solid matter and the elongated element; and a conduit configured to convey a second fluid, wherein the second fluid is at a temperature below a freezing temperature of the first fluid, wherein a portion of the conduit passes through the intermediate portion.

Abstract: A device for storing an implement such as a razor next to an associated container. An endless band of elastomeric material is formed to be stretched and released about the container. A mouth portion formed of the same material is disposed on the periphery of the band for retaining the implement. The mouth portion has a pair of arms spaced apart enough to receive the implement, and a pair of gates each of which is joined at a first end to an outer end of a corresponding arm. Each gate is biased toward a rest position where a second end of the gate opposite its first end confronts the second end of the other gate. The gates deflect inward when the implement is urged horizontally into the mouth portion, and return to their rest position when the implement clears them so that the implement is then stored in the device.
