Abstract
Abstract The pack is folded from a card having a generally rectangular panel forming the front of the pack joined to a generally rectangular panel forming the back of the pack via a spine. The edges of the panel, remote from the spine are adhered together, if necessary with the assistance of a flap, to lock the staggered stack of razors within a slot in the edge of the panel, the back panel of the pack having one or more cut-outs or flaps with which portions of the razor handles engage thereby holding the handles in position.

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A package of razors including a pack, and a nested stack of razors retained within said pack in a side-by-side staggered array, said pack comprising a first panel for forming one side of the pack and having a slot therein for receiving part of each handle of said stack of razors, and for supporting the heads of the razors, and a second panel secured along one side thereof to one side of the first panel for forming the opposite side of the pack, and adapted to be secured along its opposite side to the adjacent side of the first panel to close the pack and extend across the handles of the razors so that the handles are held between the two panels, and means being provided on at least one of said panels to limit the lateral movement of said handles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A package of razors including a pack, and a nested stack of razors retained within said pack in a side-by-side staggered array, said pack comprising a first panel for forming one side of the pack and having a slot therein for receiving part of each handle of said stack of razors, and for supporting the heads of the razors, and a second panel secured along one side thereof to one side of the first panel for forming the opposite side of the pack, and adapted to be secured along its opposite side to the adjacent side of the first panel to close the pack and extend across the handles of the razors so that the handles are held between the two panels, and means being provided on at least one of said panels to limit the lateral movement of said handles.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
70 words
A package according to claim 1 wherein the second panel is formed with an opening, the opening having two opposite edges which are aligned with the outer sides of the outermost razor handles of the stack of razors such that, in the assembled pack, the stack of handles projects into the opening and the said edges form abutments which constitute said means to limit the lateral movement of the handles.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A package according to claim 1 wherein said slot opens on to one edge of the first panel, and the second panel carries a flap for engagement with said adjacent side of the first panel to close said slot.

A package according to claim 7 wherein the second panel has a portion which can be bent out of the plane of the second panel to form a stop, said stop and said flap cooperating to limit lateral movement of the razor handles in opposite directions.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
62 words
A package according to claim 1 wherein one of said panels has two flaps, each formed by a three-sided slit in said one panel, said flaps being bendable out of the plane of said one panel to form stops for engaging the outer sides of the outermost razors of the stack and constitute said means for limiting lateral movement of the handles.

Dependent Claim
108 words
A package of razors having a pack, and a stack of razors assembled in a side-by-side staggered array within said pack, each razor having a handle and a head attached to said handle, the pack having front and back panels held together to define a space therebetween in which the handles of the stack of razors are received, the heads of the razors being arranged on the front of the panel, the handles extending from the heads through a slot in the front panel, and means on at least one of the panels which engage the outermost handles of the stack and limit lateral movement of the handles.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
108 words
A package of razors having a pack, and a stack of razors assembled in a side-by-side staggered array within said pack, each razor having a handle and a head attached to said handle, the pack having front and back panels held together to define a space therebetween in which the handles of the stack of razors are received, the heads of the razors being arranged on the front of the panel, the handles extending from the heads through a slot in the front panel, and means on at least one of the panels which engage the outermost handles of the stack and limit lateral movement of the handles.
