Razor Drying Container

Abstract

A razor container is provided having a first and second portion hingedly attached and securable in an air tight configuration that prevents moisture from entering the container interior when closed. Within the container is an insert that supports a razor along the length of the container and separates the container into an upper and lower chamber. The blades of the razor are suspended by the insert above a plurality of apertures through the insert, wherein the apertures allow air movement across the insert boundary and into the lower chamber created thereby. Further provided in the lower chamber is a removably attached and formed desiccant gel pack that is adapted to draw in moisture from the container interior and from the blades of the razor. A moisture indicator is further disposed along the underside surface of the lower chamber for monitoring the freshness of the desiccant pouch to determine replacement intervals.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) A razor drying device, comprising:
 a container having an upper portion and a lower portion;   said lower portion having a base surface, upstanding sidewalls, an upper edge, and an interior volume;   said upper portion having a lower edge that aligns with said lower portion upper edge;   said upper portion and lower portion adapted to connect and form a moisture sealed container interior volume;   an insert positionable within said container lower portion and adapted to separate said lower portion into an upper chamber and a lower chamber;   said insert comprising a first and second end, upstanding sidewalls, an upper surface, a longitudinal channel along said upper surface;   said second end of said insert further comprising a lowermost surface and an elevated surface joining said longitudinal channel with said lowermost surface;   at least one aperture through said elevated surface;   a desiccant pouch having a first and second enclosed desiccant material pouch portion, said pouch portions comprising moisture-permeable material, said pouch portions being connected by a material bridge;   said material pouch portions of said desiccant pouch adapted to fit into said insert below said insert upper surface and along opposing sides of said longitudinal channel.   
     
     
         2 ) The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a moisture indicator within said container interior that is adapted to monitor the humidity therein. 
     
     
         3 ) The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a gasket along said container lower portion upper edge, wherein said gasket seals said connection between said upper and lower container portion. 
     
     
         4 ) The device of  claim 1 , wherein said container upper and lower portion are hingedly connected along a side thereof, and removably fastened together along an opposite side by way of a hinged latch. 
     
     
         5 ) The device of  claim 1 , wherein said insert upper surface further comprises an underside surface having a pouch attachment means adapted to connect to corresponding attachment means on said pouch portions. 
     
     
         6 ) The device of  claim 1 , wherein said container upper and lower portion is transparent. 
     
     
         7 ) The device of  claim 1 , wherein said insert second end is adapted to support the razor blade end of a razor adjacent to said apertures, and said longitudinal channel is adapted to support a razor handle. 
     
     
         8 ) A razor drying device, comprising:
 a container having an upper portion and a lower portion;   said lower portion having a base surface, upstanding sidewalls, an upper edge, and an interior volume;   said upper portion having a lower edge that aligns with said lower portion upper edge;   said upper portion and lower portion adapted to connect and form a moisture sealed container interior volume;   an insert positionable within said container lower portion and adapted to separate said lower portion into an upper chamber and a lower chamber;   at least one aperture through said insert;   a desiccant pouch adapted to fit below said insert;   a moisture indicator within said container interior that is adapted to monitor the humidity therein.   
     
     
         9 ) The device of  claim 8 , wherein said insert further comprises:
 a first and second end, upstanding sidewalls, an upper surface, a longitudinal channel along said upper surface;   said second end of said insert further comprising a lowermost surface and an elevated surface joining said longitudinal channel with said lowermost surface.   
     
     
         10 ) The device of  claim 8 , wherein said desiccant pouch further comprises:
 a first and second enclosed desiccant material pouch portion, said pouch portions comprising moisture-permeable material, said pouch portions being connected by a material bridge.   
     
     
         11 ) The device of  claim 8 , further comprising a gasket along said container lower portion upper edge, wherein said gasket seals said connection between said upper and lower container portion. 
     
     
         12 ) The device of  claim 8 , wherein said container upper and lower portion are hingedly connected along a side thereof, and removably fastened together along an opposite side by way of a hinged latch. 
     
     
         13 ) The device of  claim 8 , wherein said insert upper surface further comprises an underside surface having a pouch attachment means adapted to connect to corresponding attachment means on said desiccant pouch. 
     
     
         14 ) The device of  claim 8 , wherein said container upper and lower portion is transparent. 
     
     
         15 ) The device of  claim 8 , wherein said insert second end is adapted to support the razor blade end of a razor adjacent to said apertures, and said longitudinal channel is adapted to support a razor handle.
