System for Storing a Razor to Prolong ints Shelf Life
A system for storing a razor to prolong its shelf life can comprise a razor enclosure. The razor enclosure can comprise a casing and a lining. The casing can comprise a base and a lid. The base can house a razor, and the lid can form a substantially enclosed chamber with the base. The lining can be mounted within the inner surface of the casing. The lining can comprise a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers can be an inner layer capable of supporting the razor, a waterproof outer layer, and an absorbent inner core.
This disclosure relates to a system for storing a razor to prolong its shelf life.
Today, one of the most common ways of storing a razor is by placing it in a closed drawer, or by laying it exposed in an open shelf. Such method can be effective in safely keeping the razor out of reach from small children, but it does not prevent the razor from exposure to moisture and other air contaminants. Another method used in storing the razor is placing it within a container. This method can be effective in minimizing exposure to outside environment but does little or no help in prolonging the shelf life of the blade in a razor. Extending the shelf life of a razor blade is of great use to a consumer, as razor blades can be quite expensive. In 2016, blade cartridges often sale for between one to five dollars a piece. As such it would be useful to have an improved system for storing a razor to prolong its shelf life.
SUMMARYA system for storing a razor to prolong its shelf life is described herein. In one embodiment, a razor enclosure can comprise a casing and a lining. The casing can comprise a base and a lid. The base can house a razor, and the lid can form a substantially enclosed chamber with the base. The lining can be mounted within the inner surface of the casing. The lining can comprise a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers can be an inner layer capable of supporting the razor, a waterproof outer layer, and an absorbent inner core that can be between the inner layer and the waterproof outer layer.
In another embodiment, the razor enclosure can comprise the casing, and the lining. The casing comprising the base, the lid, and a hole. The base can house the head of the razor. The lid can be capable of closing the base. The hole can allow the handle of the razor to stick out of the casing. The lining can be mounted within the inner surface of the casing. The lining can comprise the plurality of layers. The plurality of layers can be the inner layer capable of supporting the razor, the waterproof outer layer, and the absorbent inner core that can be between the inner layer and the waterproof outer layer.
Further, in another embodiment, the razor enclosure can comprise the casing and the lining. The casing can comprise a rectangular opening, the base can cover the blade of a razor, and the opening can receive the head of the razor. The lining can be mounted within the inner surface of the casing. The lining can comprise the plurality of layers. The plurality of layers can be the inner layer capable of supporting the razor, the waterproof outer layer, and the absorbent inner core that can be between the inner layer and the waterproof outer layer.
Described herein is a system for storing a razor to prolong its shelf life. The following description is presented to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention as claimed and is provided in the context of the particular examples discussed below, variations of which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. In the interest of clarity, not all features of an actual implementation are described in this specification. It will be appreciated that in the development of any such actual implementation (as in any development project), design decisions must be made to achieve the designers' specific goals (e.g., compliance with system- and business-related constraints), and that these goals will vary from one implementation to another. It will also be appreciated that such development effort might be complex and time-consuming, but would nevertheless be a routine undertaking for those of ordinary skill in the field of the appropriate art having the benefit of this disclosure. Accordingly, the claims appended hereto are not intended to be limited by the disclosed embodiments, but are to be accorded their widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.
Razor enclosure 100 can comprise a casing 104, and a lining 105. Casing 104 can be used to store and protect razor 101. Casing 104 can be made of a disposable material such as plastics, paperboard, and/or corrugated fiberboard. Casing 104 can comprise a base 106, and a lid 107, attached together by a hinge 108. In one embodiment, base 106, lid 107, and/or hinge 108 can be unibody. In another embodiment, base 106, lid 107, and hinge 108 can be separate components. Hinge 108 can allow lid 107 to swing open providing access to chamber 109. Further in one embodiment, the side of lid 107 opposite to hinge 108 can comprise a lock mechanism 110 that can allow casing 104 to be closed securely. In one embodiment, lining 105 can fit snugly within base 106. Base 106 and lid 107 together can form a chamber 109. Base 106 can comprise a hollow portion capable of mounting lining 105. Lid 107 can be used to close razor enclosure 100 and prevent chamber 109 from exposure to outer surroundings. Lining 105 can be a sheet of material mounted within the inner surface of casing 104.
Further in one embodiment, lining 105 can be mounted within the inner surface of base 106. In such embodiment, razor 101 can be stored at a fixed position within casing 104. In such fixed position, head 102 can be stored within casing 104 with the blade of razor 101 facing towards lining 105. In another embodiment, lining 105 can be attached within the inner surface of base 106 and lid 107. In such embodiment, the inner surface of the entire casing 104 can be covered with lining 105. This is to ensure that razor 101 is completely enclosed within lining 105, when casing 104 is in a closed position. This structure can also allow razor 101 be placed anywhere within casing 104.
Various changes in the details of the illustrated operational methods are possible without departing from the scope of the following claims. Some embodiments may combine the activities described herein as being separate steps. Similarly, one or more of the described steps may be omitted, depending upon the specific operational environment the method is being implemented in. It is to be understood that the above description is intended to be illustrative, and not restrictive. For example, the above-described embodiments may be used in combination with each other. Many other embodiments will be apparent to those of skill in the art upon reviewing the above description. The scope of the invention should, therefore, be determined with reference to the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled. In the appended claims, the terms “including” and “in which” are used as the plain-English equivalents of the respective terms “comprising” and “wherein.”
