Abstract

A dispenser for razor cartridges is proposed. The dispenser may include a base unit and a pair of cartridge fixing units formed on both sides of the base unit. The base unit and the cartridge fixing units may be made of a bendable sheet of an eco-friendly material. Each fixing unit may include: a first side wall bent from the base unit and having a predetermined height, an upper wall bent and extending from one end of the first side wall, and a second side wall extending from one end of the upper wall toward the base unit and configured to contact the base unit. Each fixing unit may also include at least one cutout portion formed across the upper wall and the second side wall by cutting at least a portion of the upper and second side walls and configured to fix a razor cartridge at an inclined angle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A dispenser for razor cartridges, comprising:
a base unit; and a pair of cartridge fixing units formed on both sides of the base unit, wherein the base unit and the cartridge fixing units are made of a bendable sheet of an eco-friendly material, and wherein each of the pair of cartridge fixing units includes:
a first side wall bent from the base unit and having a predetermined height relative to the base unit;
an upper wall bent and extending from one end of the first side wall;
a second side wall extending from one end of the upper wall toward the base unit and configured to contact the base unit; and
at least one cutout portion formed across the upper wall and the second side wall by cutting at least a portion of the upper wall and the second side wall and configured to fix a razor cartridge at an inclined angle with respect to the base unit,
wherein the cutout portion includes a slide portion formed by cutting at least a portion of the second side wall and guides insertion of the razor cartridge to allow the razor cartridge to move obliquely toward the base unit, and wherein the cutout portion further includes a hooking portion configured to extend from the slide portion in a direction different from an extension direction of the slide portion.

2 . The dispenser for razor cartridges of claim 1 , wherein the cutout portion includes an inlet portion formed by cutting at least a portion of the upper wall and configured such that a width in a longitudinal direction of the upper wall is equal to or greater than a thickness of the razor cartridge.

3 . The dispenser for razor cartridges of claim 1 , wherein on the second side wall, a width in a direction perpendicular to an extension direction of an end portion of the hooking portion adjacent to the slide portion is greater than a width in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the slide portion.

4 . The dispenser for razor cartridges of claim 1 , wherein the slide portion is formed such that an angle between an extension direction of the slide portion and the base unit is 20° to 40°.

5 . The dispenser for razor cartridges of claim 1 , wherein the first side wall is formed such that an angle between an extension direction of the first side wall and the base unit is 90° to 110°.

6 . The dispenser for razor cartridges of claim 1 , wherein the second side wall is configured to fit into a gap formed between a connector protruding from a rear surface of the razor cartridge and a protective cap configured to surround at least a portion of a front surface and the rear surface of the razor cartridge.

7 . The dispenser for razor cartridges of claim 1 , further comprising:
an adhesive wall bent and extending from one end of the second side wall and to adhere to the base unit.

8 . The dispenser for razor cartridges of claim 1 , wherein the pair of cartridge fixing units are formed to be spaced apart by a distance between a pair of handle coupling portions included in a connector protruding from a rear surface of the razor cartridge.

9 . The dispenser for razor cartridges of claim 2 , wherein the inlet portion is configured such that a first width of a region adjacent to the first side wall is wider than a second width of a region adjacent to the second side wall.

10 . The dispenser for razor cartridges of claim 9 , wherein one end of the region having the second width is configured to engage with a protective cap configured to surround at least a portion of a front surface and a rear surface of the razor cartridge when the razor cartridge is moved in a direction opposite to an insertion direction of the razor cartridge after being fixed to the pair of cartridge fixing units.

11 . A dispenser for razor cartridges, comprising:
a base unit; and a pair of cartridge fixing units formed on both sides of the base unit, wherein the base unit and the cartridge fixing units are made of a bendable sheet of an eco-friendly material, and wherein each of the pair of cartridge fixing units includes:
a first side wall bent from the base unit and having a predetermined height relative to the base unit;
an upper wall bent and extending from one end of the first side wall;
a second side wall extending from one end of the upper wall toward the base unit and configured to contact the base unit; and
at least one cutout portion formed across the upper wall and the second side wall by cutting at least a portion of the upper wall and the second side wall and configured to fix a razor cartridge at an inclined angle with respect to the base unit,
wherein the base unit includes:
a first perforated portion configured to be cut between the pair of cartridge fixing units; or
an opening portion formed between the pair of cartridge fixing units, and
wherein the first perforated portion or the opening portion has a predetermined area through which at least a portion of a razor handle to be coupled with the razor cartridge penetrates.

12 . A dispenser for razor cartridges, comprising:
a base unit; and a pair of cartridge fixing units formed on both sides of the base unit, wherein the base unit and the cartridge fixing units are made of a bendable sheet of an eco-friendly material, and wherein each of the pair of cartridge fixing units includes:
a first side wall bent from the base unit and having a predetermined height relative to the base unit;
an upper wall bent and extending from one end of the first side wall;
a second side wall extending from one end of the upper wall toward the base unit and configured to contact the base unit; and
at least one cutout portion formed across the upper wall and the second side wall by cutting at least a portion of the upper wall and the second side wall and configured to fix a razor cartridge at an inclined angle with respect to the base unit,
the dispenser further comprising:
a second perforated portion formed across at least a portion of the pair of cartridge fixing units and the base unit, and configured to be cut when after a handle is coupled with the razor cartridge, the handle is moved in a direction opposite to the coupling direction.
