Description
V. ARRA SHAVING CUP July 10, 1956 Filed Dec. 16, 1952 I N VENTOR United States Patent SHAVING CUP Vincent Arra, Brooklyn, N. Y.
Application December 16, 1952, Serial No. 326,243
7 Claims. (Cl. 132-81) The invention relates to improvements in shaving cups; whereas, the shaving cups until now have been used to keep the soap and brush in them, thus the soap remained wet and got soggy, and the bristles of the brush remained wet and became bent from the weight of the brush-handle.
Attempts to remedy this objectionable condition have been made by patents. My invention gives unique and different remedy in that, it permits the containment of the soap and brush in the cup, and in addition, it also provides for the containment of a safety razor and razorblades. Thus all the tools and items for shaving are kept together with the lathering cup. Furthermore they are kept by my invention orderly, convenient and clean.
The prime object of the invention is to devise a shaving cup in which, besides lathering the soap, the soap, brush, razor and razor blades can be stored away in addition therein.
Another object is to provide ventilation in the interior of the cup and to aerate and dry the cup and contents.
Still another object is to provide the shaving cup with angles, corners, notches, and slits in the cup and on the cover in order to place the tools and items for shaving therein in an orderly and convenient manner; and in order to make the shaving cup handy, stable, compact, easily cleansed and cheap to manufacture, plastic or other material may selectively be used.
One form of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Fig. l is a perspective view of the cup;
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the cups cover;
Fig. 3 is a perspective plan view of the cup;
Fig. 4 is a perspective plan view of the cups cover, showing the manner in which it covers the cup, razor, razor-blade package and brush.
The cup consists of the walls 8, 9, 10, and 11 attached to the base 7 at right angles to each other. Notches 3 and 4 cut out of walls 8 and 10 respectively are to cradle a razor handle with the razor head on the outside of either notch and below the brim. The conventional razor has a long neck and a groove around it near its end that permits it to be fixed therein. The cover is constructed that the sides 21 and 23 hug the sides 9 and 11, respectively, but the sides 22 and 24 extend beyond the cups sides 8 and 10, respectively, enough to permit it to cover the razorhead and razor end outside of wall 8 and 10, thereby securing the razor in the notches 3 and 4. From the walls 8 and 9, notch is made to cradle the brush handle, fixing its position over but away from the soap in the corner 6, and bringing the bristles to the opposite corner between the vent slits 1 and 2. Notches 3, 4, and 5 also function as vents. Eyeholes 12 and 13 provide means of further securing a quarter piece of conventional size shaving soap; in corner 6 a thread or a toothpick is run, through these eyeholes and through the soap, thus binding the soap to the corner. The cover consists of the surface 25 and the sides 21, 22, 23, and 24. The notch 27 is made of the surface 25 and the sides 21 and 22 where they all meet to provide for the protrusion of the brush handle "ice 2 through the sides and surface of the cover; it also functions as a vent. 26 is a vent in the surface 25. Space for a conventional package of razor blades is provided adjacent to wall 11 in the cup.
It is obvious that minor changes in the details of construction and shaping of the parts may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
Thus, it has been shown that the soap, the brush, the razor and the razor-blades are all contained in the cup; and
I claim:
1. A device for holding shaving articles, said .device comprising a receptacle having a bottom wall and upstanding side walls on said bottom wall, the upper end of said receptacle being open, said side walls having a pair of upwardly opening opposed notches for receiving and supporting a safety razor, at least one of said side walls having a first upwardly opening cutout portion for receiving and supporting a portion of a shaving brush, and a removable closure having a depending skirt and adapted to cover the open end of said receptacle with said skirt surrounding said side walls and said razor, said closure being provided with a cutout portion complementary to said first-named cutout portion and combining therewith, when said closure is in said covering relation, to define an aperture permitting the outward extension therethrough of said shaving brush.
2. A device according to claim 1, said receptacle being substantially rectangular in configuration, said first named cutout portion being located at said one meeting edge of said side walls, whereby said shaving brush may be removably cradled in the corner region adjacent to said one meeting edge.

5. A device with means for holding a shaving brush and a safety razor comprising a generally rectangular receptacle having a bottom wall and upstanding side walls on said bottom wall, the upper end of said receptacle being open, there being a pair of upwardly opening notches formed in an opposed pair of said side walls for receiving and supporting the safety razor, there being an upwardly opening cutout portion formed in at least one of said side walls for receiving and supporting a portion of a 3 shaving brush, said razor, when extending across the top of the receptacle in said notches serving as a support for at least a part of the brush when part of the brush is cradled in said cutout portion.
6. The combination of a device for holding shaving articles and a shaving article, said device comprising a generally rectangular receptacle having a bottom wall and upstanding side walls on said bottom wall, the upper end of the receptacle being open, there being an upwardly opening cutout portion formed in at least one of said side walls for receiving and supporting a portion of a shaving brush, said shaving article constituting means extending across the top of the receptacle serving as a support for at least part of the brush when another part of the brush is cradled in said cutout portion.
7. The combination of a shaving cup and a support member comprising a receptacle having a bottom wall and side walls extending upwardly from said bottom wall,
