Magnetic razor holder for mounting safety razors
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11871830B2) discloses a unique combination of a safety razor and a surface-mountable razor holder. The safety razor features one or more blades housed within a razor head that is detachably connected to a handle containing a ferrous material. The razor holder comprises a rear-facing component with a rear surface for mounting to an external surface, a front-facing component to engage the handle, and a magnet in a cavity between the components. The safety razor is securely attached to the holder through magnetic attraction between the magnet and the ferrous material in the handle. The rear-facing component includes protruding clips that interconnect with receiving members on the front-facing component, ensuring a secure attachment.
Furthermore, the patent details variations of the combination, including different configurations of the interior surface of the handle, methods of securing the holder to the external surface, and additional features such as a cylindrical member forming the cavity for the magnet. The front surface of the holder is designed to hold the safety razor in an upright position without any part of the razor touching the external surface. The ferrous material in the handle can be affixed, implanted, or co-molded, providing flexibility in manufacturing. Overall, the patent highlights an innovative solution for securely storing a safety razor using magnetic technology, enhancing convenience and safety for users.
