Magnetic Storage for Reuse Device

Abstract

A magnetic blade storage for reuse device (or device for magnetically storing blades for their safe reuse). The device includes a recessed feature and a magnet positioned within the recessed feature into which the sharp edge of the blade can be inserted. The magnet assembly is designed to retain the razor blades in place, protecting the sharp edge and ensuring the blades do not fall out accidentally. In specific embodiments, the magnet of this assembly can be positioned in a way to allow secure attachment of the entire storage device to a ferrous object. Furthermore, a pair of opposing walls forming the aforementioned recessed feature can be arranged in a variety of angles relative to one another.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for storing and dispensing razor blades, each said razor blade defining a razor height, comprising:
 a housing, said housing defined by a top and bottom, said top and bottom separated by a housing height;   a cavity formed in said housing to define an opening in said housing top and a bottom opposite thereto;   a magnet device retained by said housing adjacent to said cavity bottom; and   wherein said razor height exceeds said housing height.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said cavity is further defined by a pair of planar walls in relative spaced relation to one another at said opening in said housing top. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein said pair of planar walls are angled away from on another in the direction of said cavity opening at angle Ø, wherein angle Ø is between 0 and 180 degrees. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein said pair of planar walls intersect each other to form a line at said cavity bottom. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein said pair of planar walls intersect at a planar bottom wall. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein said pair of planar walls intersect at a curved bottom wall. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said housing is formed from thin-walled non-ferrous material. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said housing is formed from a block of non-ferrous material. 
     
     
         9 . A razor and dispenser combination, comprising:
 a dispenser, comprising:
 a housing, said housing defined by a top and bottom, said top and bottom separated by a housing height; 
 a cavity formed in said housing to define an opening in said housing top and a bottom opposite thereto; 
 a magnet device retained by said housing adjacent to said cavity bottom; and 
   one or more razors defining a razor height between the sharp and dull edges magnetically retained within said cavity, wherein each said razor height exceeds said housing height.   
     
     
         10 . The combination of  claim 9 , wherein said cavity is further defined by a pair of planar walls in relative spaced relation to one another at said opening in said housing top. 
     
     
         11 . The combination of  claim 10 , wherein said pair of planar walls are angled away from on another in the direction of said cavity opening at angle Ø, wherein angle Ø is between 0 and 180 degrees. 
     
     
         12 . The combination of  claim 11 , wherein said pair of planar walls intersect each other to form a line at said cavity bottom. 
     
     
         13 . The combination of  claim 11 , wherein said pair of planar walls intersect at a planar bottom wall. 
     
     
         14 . The combination of  claim 11 , wherein said pair of planar walls intersect at a curved bottom wall. 
     
     
         15 . The combination of  claim 9 , wherein said housing is formed from thin-walled non-ferrous material. 
     
     
         16 . The combination of  claim 9 , wherein said housing is formed from a block of non-ferrous material.
