Abstract The specific embodiments provide a system for dispensing a plurality of razor blade cartridges comprising at least one dispenser having a longitudinal row of transverse cartridge chambers. Elements are provided in each one of the chambers for releasably maintaining a razor blade cartridge therein with engageable surfaces of the cartridge positioned for engagement by supporting surfaces on a holder. Guide elements are formed in a side wall of the dispenser unit to one side of each of the chambers for guiding the supporting surfaces of the holder into or out of engagement with the engageable surfaces of the cartridge. One of the cartridge chambers is empty, and the next successive chambers have unused cartridges therein. When an initial cartridge on the holder is no longer suitable for use, it is placed in the empty chamber, and the unused cartridge in the next successive chamber is used. Thereafter, each cartridge, when no longer suitable for use, is replaced in the chamber from which the cartridge was removed and the cartridge from the next successive chamber is removed for use until all the cartridges are successively removed from the dispenser unit. One of the specific embodiments provides for a second dispenser unit which is releasably connected to the first dispenser unit such that the guide means are inaccessible to the supporting surfaces of the holder until the first dispenser unit is disconnected therefrom.
A system for dispensing razor blade cartridges comprising: a plurality of razor blade cartridges, each one of said cartridges including slidably engageable surfaces formed transversely thereof; a holder having a plurality of supporting surfaces formed transversely thereof for selective sliding engagement with the slidably engageable surfaces of said plurality of cartridges;
