Claim 11
Dependent Claim 88 words
The arrangement as claimed in claim 8 wherein a support surface is provided in said well on which a lateral portion of said razor head rests and said complementary razor retaining structure includes two upstanding spaced apart portions at the outer edge of said well and extending above said support surface, said upstanding portions defining a gap in which the upper end of said razor handle is disposed, and said skirt portion having a surface portion extending below said gap against which the razor handle rests in storage.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 116 words
A container cover for storing a razor that has an elongated handle and a head at one end of the handle, said head having portions that extend laterally on either side of the handle for support of a transversely extending shaving edge, comprising a molded plastic member that includes an upper surface, a skirt portion with container coupling structure at the base of said skirt portion, a recess in the cover for receiving the head of the razor with the razor handle extending downwardly below the cover, and structure integral with the cover and complementary with the razor for releasably retaining the razor in supported relation on the container when the cover is on the container.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 116 words
