Claim 1
Independent Claim
219 words
A single-edge razor blade carrier for carrying a single-edge razor blade, comprising: a first piece of magnetically attractive strip material having inner and outer sides and edges defining a size somewhat larger than said razor blade to be carried; a second piece of magnetically attractive strip material having inner and outer sides and edges defining a size somewhat larger than said razor blade to be carried; a flexible hinge member joining said first and second pieces of magnetically attractive strip with said razor blade being positionable with its blade toward said flexible hinge member and with said second piece of magnetically attractive strip material being closable over said razor blade positioned therein to completely sandwich said razor blade between said inner sides of said first and second pieces of magnetically attractive strip material to form a protective housing for retaining said razor blade securely therein; wherein said hinge member is formed of a tape positioned on the outer sides of said magnetically attractive strip material; and wherein said flexible tape extends around and folds over the edges onto the inner sides of said first and second pieces of magnetically attractive strip material to form a recessed area defined by said tape on the inner sides of said strip material of a size large enough to receive said razor blade.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
219 words
A single-edge razor blade carrier for carrying a single-edge razor blade, comprising: a first piece of magnetically attractive strip material having inner and outer sides and edges defining a size somewhat larger than said razor blade to be carried; a second piece of magnetically attractive strip material having inner and outer sides and edges defining a size somewhat larger than said razor blade to be carried; a flexible hinge member joining said first and second pieces of magnetically attractive strip with said razor blade being positionable with its blade toward said flexible hinge member and with said second piece of magnetically attractive strip material being closable over said razor blade positioned therein to completely sandwich said razor blade between said inner sides of said first and second pieces of magnetically attractive strip material to form a protective housing for retaining said razor blade securely therein; wherein said hinge member is formed of a tape positioned on the outer sides of said magnetically attractive strip material; and wherein said flexible tape extends around and folds over the edges onto the inner sides of said first and second pieces of magnetically attractive strip material to form a recessed area defined by said tape on the inner sides of said strip material of a size large enough to receive said razor blade.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
The razor blade carrier of claim 1 wherein one of said pieces of magnetically attractive strip material extends upward beyond the other and has an aperture defined therein for receipt of objects.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
291 words
A single-edge razor blade carrier for carrying a single-edge razor blade, comprising: a first piece of magnetically attractive strip material having edges defining a size larger than said razor blade to be carried; a second piece of magnetically attractive strip material having edges defining a size larger than said razor blade to be carried; a flexible hinge member joining said first and second pieces of magnetically attractive strip with said razor blade being positionable with its blade toward said flexible hinge member and with said second piece of magnetically attractive strip material being closed over said razor blade positioned therein to sandwich said razor blade between said first and second pieces of magnetically attractive strip material to form a protective housing for retaining said razor blade securely therein; and wherein both of said pieces of magnetic material extend upwards beyond the position of said razor blade therein, the first piece of magnetic strip material having an aperture defined therein in said extending portion, the second piece of strip material having an aperture defined therein corresponding in position to the aperture in said first piece of strip material, said second piece of strip material further including a slot defined therein between said aperture and an edge of said strip material, said apertures adapted for the receipt of objects wherein upon opening, said first piece of strip material from said second piece material said object can pass from said aperture defined in said second piece of strip material through said slot to allow said second piece of strip material to be swung away on its hinge from said first piece of strip material to expose the blade receipt area between said first piece of strip material and said second piece of strip material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
291 words
A single-edge razor blade carrier for carrying a single-edge razor blade, comprising: a first piece of magnetically attractive strip material having edges defining a size larger than said razor blade to be carried; a second piece of magnetically attractive strip material having edges defining a size larger than said razor blade to be carried; a flexible hinge member joining said first and second pieces of magnetically attractive strip with said razor blade being positionable with its blade toward said flexible hinge member and with said second piece of magnetically attractive strip material being closed over said razor blade positioned therein to sandwich said razor blade between said first and second pieces of magnetically attractive strip material to form a protective housing for retaining said razor blade securely therein; and wherein both of said pieces of magnetic material extend upwards beyond the position of said razor blade therein, the first piece of magnetic strip material having an aperture defined therein in said extending portion, the second piece of strip material having an aperture defined therein corresponding in position to the aperture in said first piece of strip material, said second piece of strip material further including a slot defined therein between said aperture and an edge of said strip material, said apertures adapted for the receipt of objects wherein upon opening, said first piece of strip material from said second piece material said object can pass from said aperture defined in said second piece of strip material through said slot to allow said second piece of strip material to be swung away on its hinge from said first piece of strip material to expose the blade receipt area between said first piece of strip material and said second piece of strip material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
171 words
The razor blade carrier of claim 1 wherein both of said pieces of magnetic material extend upwards beyond the position of said razor blade therein, the first piece of magnetic strip material having an aperture defined therein in said extending portion, the second piece of strip material having an aperture defined therein corresponding in position to the aperture in said first piece of strip material, said second piece of strip material further including a slot defined therein between said aperture and an edge of said strip material, said apertures adapted for the receipt of objects wherein upon opening, said first piece of strip material from said second piece of strip material said object can pass from said aperture defined is said second piece of strip material through said slot to allow said second piece of strip material to be swung away on its hinge from said first piece of strip material to expose the blade receipt area between said first piece of strip material and said second piece of strip material.
