Description

The present invention relates to a razor holder for holding a razor.

A razor holder has been developed that holds a razor such as a wet safety razor temporarily or appropriately. As a conventional razor holder, for example, a razor that holds a razor in a suspended manner on a column arranged substantially vertically is known. However, such a suspended cage generally has a problem in stably holding the razor and has a stagnation on stability.
Japanese Patent Registration No. 3250041 Japanese Patent Registration No. 3448832

Various kinds of razors such as a wet safety razor are detachably held in a razor holder (hereinafter referred to as “retainer”). The cage includes an engaging portion as a part of a mechanism for holding the razor. A razor handle (a part of the handle such as the lower end of the handle) is in contact with the engaging portion and engaged with the engaging portion so as to be disengageable. The handle of the razor that comes into contact with and engages with the engaging portion moves while being guided by the engaging portion. The razor is stably held at a predetermined position or the like. An engaging part can be formed from a through-hole, for example, and the handle of a razor can be engaged with the engaging part of a through-hole so that engagement / disengagement is possible. The cage has a base that is a basic component, and a bent portion is formed by bending a part of the base so as to be reversed. The bent portion is formed integrally with the base body, and the engaging portion can be provided in the bent portion. Moreover, an engaging part can be formed with a through-hole, and an engaging part can be taken as an integral structure with a bending part. The bent portion is easily formed by bending a part of the base. Similarly, the engaging portion can be easily formed. The cage also has an opening for introducing (or deriving) a razor handle. The opening is disposed to face the engaging portion. Therefore, when the razor is moved toward the engaging portion for holding the razor, a razor handle can be introduced from the opening (from the lower end of the handle). Since the opening is at a position opposite to the engaging portion, the razor handle (lower end portion) is brought into contact with and engaged with the engaging portion by introduction. The cage includes a first guide portion, and the first guide portion is disposed to face the engaging portion. Therefore, when the razor is moved toward the engaging portion for holding the razor, the razor is guided by the first guide portion and reaches the engaging portion. As described above, the opening also has a function of guiding the razor handle to the engaging portion, but the razor handle is more reliably engaged with the engaging portion by the first guide portion. Accordingly, the razor handle reaches a predetermined position of the engaging portion or a position as close as possible to the engaging portion. When providing a 1st guide part, it is preferable to arrange | position between the opening which is an inlet, and the engaging part used as the reach | attainment objective. By using both guide functions together, the razor handle reaches the engaging portion more reliably and easily. In addition, such an opening and the first guide part facilitate the operation of holding the razor and provide a user-friendly holder. A plurality of ventilation holes are dispersedly formed in the base body constituting the cage. The razor held opposite to the base body has the effect that water adhering after use naturally evaporates from a plurality of air passages during the holding and drying of the water and the like, and is excellent in draining. In this way, a cage that is similarly convenient to use is provided.

Problems to be solved by the invention

The present invention provides a razor holder that is easy to use, such as being able to stably hold and hold a razor.

Means for solving the problem

In order to solve this problem, the present invention adopts the following means. That is, at least an engaging portion that is detachably engaged with a razor handle and an opening for introducing a razor handle that is disposed opposite the engaging portion and moves toward the engaging portion are provided. In addition, an engaging portion that engages at least with a razor handle is provided in a bent portion formed by bending so as to partially reverse the base. In addition, at least an engaging portion that is detachably engaged with the handle of the razor is provided, and a plurality of ventilation holes are dispersedly formed on the base that faces the held razor.

The invention's effect

According to the present invention, a razor holder that is easy to use, such as a razor being stably held, is provided.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described. The razor 50 includes a holder 51 and a replaceable blade 54, and the replaceable blade 54 is attached to the head of the holder via attachment means (not shown in detail, 53 is an operation button) provided on the head 52 of the holder 51. The unit 52 is detachably mounted (a known structure). The razor 50 is detachably held by the razor holder 1 (referred to as “retainer 1” as described above), that is, the razor 50 is appropriately attached to and removed from the razor holder 1. Includes a base body 2, which is a basic component of the cage 1. The base body 2 is a vertically formed flat plate (see a development view of the base body 2), which is made of a synthetic resin. The retainer 1 has a first protrusion 60 and a second protrusion 61 provided on the base 2. The first protrusion 60 and the second protrusion 62 are opposed to each other. The first protrusion 60 is located near the upper edge 63 of the base, and the second protrusion 62 is substantially perpendicular to the base 2 at a position slightly away from the first protrusion 60. Established.

A bulging portion 65 surrounding the central through hole 66 is provided between the first protruding portion 60 and the second protruding portion 61. The through-hole 66 has a ventilation function, and moisture adhering to a wet razor (especially a replaceable blade) is easily dried. The bulging portion 65 reinforces the strength and rigidity of the base 2 and prevents deformation of the base 2. An upright piece 67 in the width direction of the base body 2 is provided in a substantially intermediate portion of the cage 1, that is, between a bent portion 27 described later and the second protruding portion 61. The standing pieces 67 that are inclined so that the tips are close to each other are arranged so as to face each other. A space 62 is formed between the upstanding pieces facing each other, and a spare blade cartridge 55 is mounted in the space 62. The replaceable blade cartridge 55 can be taken in and out from the side of the upright piece 67. Reference numeral 70 denotes a rib formed continuously with the base end portion of the upright piece 67 to reinforce the upright piece 67. The inclined standing piece 67 is lower than the second protrusion 61. The base body 2 has through holes 71 at positions close to the upright pieces 67. The through hole 71 is air permeable, and moisture attached to the razor 50 is easily dried.

The locking piece 6 projects from the base 2 at the rear end 73. The locking piece 6 has a neck portion 9 and ear pieces 5 on both sides protruding at the tip of the neck portion 9. The length of the neck 9 is substantially the same as or slightly larger than the thickness of the base 2. The base body 2 has a through hole 10 at a position slightly apart from the base end portion of one upright piece 67a. The through hole 10 includes an insertion portion 11, an entry portion 12, and a locking portion 13. The insertion portion 11 is a substantially semicircular through hole, and a portion substantially corresponding to the diameter of the insertion portion 11 is a wide portion (AA), and this wide portion is longer than the length between the ear pieces 5 and 5 on both sides of the locking piece 6. large. Moreover, the width (BB) of the connection part with the insertion part 11 is larger than the width | variety of the neck part 9 in the approach part 12 which continues to the insertion part 11. FIG. Further, a locking portion 13 narrower than the width of the neck portion 9 is formed in the entry portion 12, and the locking piece 6 is locked to the locking portion 13 (this will be further described later).

A first guide portion 21 is disposed on the surface of the base 2. The first guide portion 21 has an upward convex curved raised surface. In the developed view of the base 2, the first guide portion 21 is in the range between the parallel skirts XX, and the surface of the raised surface is smooth. The top part 22 of the first guide part is at a position lower than the second protrusion part 61. When the razor 50 is held, the razor 50 is usually moved from the upper end side to the lower end side of the cage 1 substantially in parallel with the base 2. When such movement of the razor 50 in the vertical direction (hereinafter referred to as “movement of the razor in the vertical direction”), the first guide portion 21 guides the razor 50 to the engagement portion 3 a described later while contacting the razor handle 56. To do. Any structure that guides the moving razor handle 56 to the engaging portion 3a may be used, and the first guide portion 21 is not limited to the raised surface.

Side walls 23 facing each other along both side edges 26, 26 of the base body 2 project from both sides of the first guide portion 21. The side wall 23 stands on both sides of the first guide portion 21 so that when the razor 50 moves in the vertical direction, the lower end portion 59 of the razor handle tends to move outward from both sides of the guide portion 21 due to unforeseen circumstances. In such a case, the side wall 23 prevents the movement. The side walls are generally arcuate with edges 25 having no corners as a whole. This substantially corresponds to the arcuate surface of the bent portion 27 formed by bending the lower portion of the base 2. Therefore, when an unexpected external force is applied to the bent portion 27, the edge 25 of the side wall partially abuts on the bent portion 27 to be deformed to prevent the bent portion 27 from being deformed beyond a certain level. .

The base 2 is provided with strip-shaped ribs 72 along the side edges 26 on the back surface. The strip-shaped rib 72 extends from a portion corresponding to the first guide portion 21 (side wall 23) to a portion substantially corresponding to the second projecting portion 61. The strip-shaped rib 72 prevents the base body 2 from being deformed from the back side. A portion of the strip-shaped rib 72 corresponding to the first guide portion 21 reinforces the first guide portion 21 and the standing side wall 23. The first guide portion 21 that is guided in contact with the moving razor handle 56 is likely to be deformed, but even the first guide portion 21 having a convex raised surface effectively prevents the deformation. The other part of the belt-like rib 72 reinforces the peripheral part or the vicinity part of the through hole 10 and the through hole 71 from the back side to prevent partial deformation of the base 2. Since the base body 2 is not deformed, the cage 1 is easy to use.

The substrate 2 has a substantially circular through hole 7 at a position near the rear end edge 73. The through hole 7 is an opening 7 for introducing a razor handle 56 in the bent portion 27 of the cage 1. The opening 7 serves as a lead-out port for the razor handle 56. The base 2 has a through hole 3 that is slightly separated from the through hole 7 and extends in the longitudinal direction. The through-hole 3 has a substantially elliptical shape, and gradually widens from the narrow ends 27, 27 to the center portion 29 having the maximum width, and the change in the width in the vicinity of the center portion 29 is small. One end 27 a of the substantially elliptical through-hole 3 extends beyond the bottom line XX that is a boundary with the raised surface of the first guide portion 21, and extends to approximately the middle between the top portion 22 and the bottom line X. In the case of illustration, the through-hole 3 forms the engaging part 3a mentioned later which can be engaged / disengaged with the razor handle 56. The razor handle 56 is smoothly brought into contact with and engaged with the engaging portion 3a formed by the through-hole 3 by the one end 27a of the through-hole 3 continuing to the skirt line X or beyond the first guide portion 21. .

The razor holder 51 has a head 52 and a handle 56 provided with a pair of claws 52 a for locking the replacement blade 54. The width of the razor handle 56 is not constant, and the razor handle 56 has a lower end 59 that gradually becomes wider from the lower end edge 57. The lower end 59 is tapered and extends from the arc-shaped lower end edge 57 to the wide portion 58, and its side edge 59a is also arc-shaped. When this is compared with the substantially elliptical through-hole 3, the maximum width of the through-hole 3 (the center portion 29 of the through-hole 3) is at least larger than the minimum width of the lower end portion 59 (that is, the lower end edge 57 of the handle) and the lower end. It is smaller than the wide part 58 of the part 59. Such a lower end 59 engages with the engaging portion 3 a, but does not necessarily have to be the lower end 59. At least a part of the razor handle 56 having such conditions engages with the engaging portion 3a.

A bent portion 27 is formed integrally with the base body 2 by bending the lower portion of the unfolded base body 2 so as to be inverted (see an imaginary line in the developed view). The bent portion 27 has an arcuate surface substantially along both edges 25 of the wall portion 23, and is formed in a canopy shape above the first guide portion 21. When the lower end edge 73 of the base body 2 reversed against the restoring force to be restored before bending is pushed down to the surface 76 of the base body, and the locking piece 6 is locked to the locking portion 13 of the through hole 10, A bent portion 27 is formed. That is, the locking piece 6 is inserted into the insertion portion 11, and the neck portion 9 is advanced to the entry portion 12 continuous with the insertion portion 11 in a state where the ear pieces 5 on both sides protrude from the back surface 75 of the base body. Move to 13. The locking piece 6 that has moved to the locking portion 13 is urged by the restoring force of the bent portion 27 and locked to the locking portion 13 while the ear pieces 5 on both sides abut against the back surface 75 of the base. The locking piece 6 is detachably locked to the locking portion 13 of the hole 10, but once locked, it is usually not necessary to release the locked state. Even in the locked state, a substantial portion of the through hole 10 of the base 2 is maintained as a through hole. As a result, moisture adhering to the razor 50 held by the cage 1 evaporates and is easily dried.

In the canopy-shaped bent portion 27, an opening 7 for introducing a razor handle 56 is formed in the upper portion, and an engaging portion 3a made of the through hole 3 of the base 2 is formed in the lower portion (note that the upper portion, the lower portion, etc. “Up and down” refers to the up and down direction in a state where the cage 1 stands substantially vertically). A razor handle 56 (at least one part) engages with the engaging part 3a. The engaging portion 3a is formed on an arcuate surface including the lower end edge 30 of the bent portion. In the bent portion 27, the lower end edge 30 of the bent portion is preferably located on the fold line ZZ including the central portion 29 which is the maximum width of the through hole 3 forming the engaging portion 3a. The engaging portion 3a is based on the central portion 29 of the through-hole 3, and the back-side through-hole extending to the front-side through-hole 31 and the raised surface (between parallel XX lines) of the first guide portion 21. 32. When holding the razor 50 in the cage 1, the razor handle 56 introduced from the opening 7 toward the engaging portion 3 a by the vertical movement of the razor 50 is at least one part thereof, usually the lower part of the razor handle 56, and In the illustrated case, the lower end 59 is brought into contact with and engaged with the engaging portion 3a. Since the razor is held in a state where the lower part of the razor handle 56 is engaged with the engaging portion 3a, the razor comes off or slides down unlike a conventional suspension type holder that suspends the razor from the head or the like. There is no such thing.

The razor handle 56 that contacts the engaging portion 3a is guided to a predetermined position by the engaging portion a. The predetermined position can be appropriately selected, but is usually set to a position at which the most stable engagement is possible. Therefore, for example, in the bent portion 27 having an arcuate surface, the position of the ZZ line that is the central portion 29 of the maximum width of the through hole 3 is set as a predetermined position. There is no particular problem when the lower end 59 of the handle introduced from the opening 7 directly reaches the predetermined position of the engaging portion 3a. When the razor handle 56 is brought into contact with the engaging portion 3a after moving out of the predetermined position, both edges 59a of the handle 56 are brought into contact with the engaging portion 3a only by moving the razor handle 56 slightly. Guided to a predetermined position. The predetermined position is also a stop position in the engaging portion 3a of the razor handle 56.

When the engaging portion 3a is a through hole, a part of the razor handle 56 that is engaged with the engaging portion 3a protrudes at least from the through hole 3 downward. In the illustrated case, the lower edge 57 of the razor protrudes downward from the through-hole 3 (strictly, the state may remain in the through-hole 3). Since the razor handle 56 in the engaged state does not move in the width direction of the engaging portion 3a, stable holding is maintained. In the bent portion 27 formed by bending a part of the base 2 so as to be reversed, the engaging portion 3 a is formed on the arcuate surface of the bent portion 27. The razor handle 56 that comes into contact with the engaging portion 3a is guided by the engaging portion 3a on the arcuate surface and smoothly moves to a predetermined position or the like.

In the cage 1, when the arrangement relationship between the engaging portion 3 a, the first guide portion 21, and the opening 7 is viewed, first, the opening 7 and the engaging portion 3 a are arranged to face each other. That is, when the razor handle 56 is introduced from the opening 7 toward the engaging portion 3a, the lower end portion 59 of the razor handle is set in contact with and engaged with the engaging portion 3a. It is preferable to set so as to reach a predetermined position in the engaging portion 3a or a position close thereto. The opening 7 also has a function of stably holding the razor 50. In the held razor, since the handle 56 is held loosely in the opening 7, the razor 50 does not come off the cage 1 even if an external force is applied to the handle, razor, cage, etc. due to an unexpected situation. It is. This is particularly effective when the cage 1 is arranged in a vertical state. In the case of the illustration, the opening 7 is formed in the bent portion, but the structure is not limited, and for example, it is variously selected such as providing a ring-shaped opening in a structure without the bent portion (see FIG. Not shown).

Moreover, the 1st guide part 21 is arrange | positioned facing the engaging part 3a. When the razor handle 56 introduced from the opening 7 is moved to the engaging portion 3a, the razor handle 56 is guided toward the engaging portion 3a while the back surface 56a is in contact with the first guide portion 21. That is, the handle of the razor is configured such that the lower end 59 is brought into contact with and engaged with the engaging portion 3a. The first guide portion 21 allows easy introduction of the razor handle 56 and reliable guidance to the engaging portion 3a.
When the first guide portion 21 is formed as a convex curved raised surface, the razor handle 56 moving in the direction orthogonal to the top portion 22 smoothly contacts the top portion 22 of the raised surface toward the engaging portion 3a. Even when the lower edge 57 of the razor handle introduced from the opening 7 is initially in contact with a location slightly deviated from the top 22, the lower edge 57 of the handle is along the raised surface curved in a convex shape. Then, a predetermined guidance is provided from there to the engaging portion 3a.

In the state of being held by the cage 1, the lower end portion 59 of the handle of the razor 50 is engaged with the engaging portion 3 a, and the head portion 52 of the handle is held by the second protruding portion 61. In this case, the razor 50 may have the back surface of the razor handle 56 in contact with the guide portion 21. Further, there may be a slight gap between the first guide portion 21 without contact. It is a problem selected as appropriate. The cage 1 is normally arranged in a vertically standing state so that the head 52 of the held razor holder is positioned above, but it can also be arranged horizontally. That is, the cage 1 can be arranged at any angle as appropriate. In order to arrange it vertically, it can be fixed to a wall surface or the like via a fixture (not shown) such as a hook inserted into the through hole 66 of the base 2. Moreover, although a suction cup can be used as a fixture and it can fix via a suction cup (not shown), in any case, a fixing means and a method are not ask | required. In order to take out the held razor 50, the razor handle 56 may be led out from the opening 7 of the bent portion so as to release the engagement with the engaging portion 3a, contrary to the introduction operation.

The cage 1 has a plurality of through holes formed in the base 2. The through holes are air permeable and are formed dispersed in the substrate 2. Moisture and the like adhering to the razor 50, such as a wet razor held by the cage 1, naturally evaporates from the air-permeable through hole. Looking at the arrangement state of the plurality of through holes, there is a through hole 66 between the first projecting portion 60 and the second projecting portion 61, and there are two through holes 71 close to the base end portions of the pair of upstanding pieces 67. , There is a through hole 10 for inserting the locking piece 6, there is a through hole 3 that forms the engaging portion 3 a (when the engaging portion is constituted by a through hole), and introduction and derivation of the razor handle 56. There is an opening 7 for. For example, like the opening 7, the opening 7 does not function as a through hole in a state where the handle 56 is in the opening 7, but the handle 56 is loosely fitted into the opening 7, leaving a gap functioning as a through hole. Has been. As described above, the upper portion (through hole 66) of the retainer 1 and the substantially intermediate portion (two through holes 71 close to the upright piece 67 and the locking piece 6 are inserted into the base 2 facing the held razor 50. Through holes are formed in the lower portion (engagement portion 3a). The opening 7 of the bent portion is arranged on the front side of the cage 1, and this is also located at a substantially middle portion of the cage 1. These through holes are appropriately dispersed without being concentrated in one place of the cage 1, and moisture and the like adhering to the wet razor 50 to be held are efficiently evaporated and dried.

In addition, when the base | substrate 2 which is a fundamental component of the holder | retainer 1 is made into a synthetic resin flat plate shape, it can be shape | molded with a resin molding metal mold | die, and a metal mold | die structure is also simplified. It can also be formed as one part, which simplifies and simplifies the design work and manufacturing process, and is advantageous in terms of cost.
