Abstract
Abstract A travel cap 10 for a T shaped safety razor 11 is designed to be slid on to the razor head 12 from one end of the latter, and comprises a first tubular portion 10a which fits around the heat to one side or the razor handle 13, and a second wrap-around portion 10b integral with the first portion and extending over the remaining length of the razor head, the longitudinal sides 10c,10d of the wrap-around portion being spaced apart to define a slot 10e along which the razor handle 13 can slide.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A travel cap device for a plurality of T-shaped safety razors of the type having a razor head containing one or more blades and a handle extending away from said razor head, the device comprising a plurality of caps each shaped to fit over a respective razor head, each cap comprising a generally tubular wall having an opening extending along said wall from an open end of the cap up to a position beyond the mid length position of the cap to enable the head of its associated razor to be inserted into the cap until the handle is equidistant from the opposite ends of the cap said device further comprising means securing said caps together to receive said plurality of razors therein, the securing means between adjacent caps being frangible.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
A travel cap device for a plurality of T-shaped safety razors of the type having a razor head containing one or more blades and a handle extending away from said razor head, the device comprising a plurality of caps each shaped to fit over a respective razor head, each cap comprising a generally tubular wall having an opening extending along said wall from an open end of the cap up to a position beyond the mid length position of the cap to enable the head of its associated razor to be inserted into the cap until the handle is equidistant from the opposite ends of the cap said device further comprising means securing said caps together to receive said plurality of razors therein, the securing means between adjacent caps being frangible.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
136 words
A travel cap device for a plurality of T-shaped safety razors of the type having a razor head containing one or more blades and a handle extending away from said razor head, the device comprising a plurality of caps each shaped to fit over a respective razor head, each cap comprising a generally tubular wall having an opening extending along said wall from an open end of the cap up to a position beyond the mid length position of the cap to enable the head of its associated razor to be inserted into the cap until the handle is equidistant from the opposite ends of the cap said caps being secured together by a common supporting strip integral with the end of each cap opposite said open end and forming an end closure of each cap.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
136 words
A travel cap device for a plurality of T-shaped safety razors of the type having a razor head containing one or more blades and a handle extending away from said razor head, the device comprising a plurality of caps each shaped to fit over a respective razor head, each cap comprising a generally tubular wall having an opening extending along said wall from an open end of the cap up to a position beyond the mid length position of the cap to enable the head of its associated razor to be inserted into the cap until the handle is equidistant from the opposite ends of the cap said caps being secured together by a common supporting strip integral with the end of each cap opposite said open end and forming an end closure of each cap.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A travel cap device according to claim 1 wherein each cap is staggered with respect to the next adjacent cap.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
A travel cap device according to claim 2 further comprising a mounting plate adapted to be fitted to a wall surface and having a slot therein shaped to receive therein said common supporting strip thereby to support said plurality of caps.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
51 words
A travel cap device according to claim 4 wherein the common supporting strip is secured to one end of each cap to extend perpendicular to the length of each cap so that the caps are supported in a position in which they extend from the mounting plate in a cantilever manner.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
114 words
A pack of disposable razors, each of substantially T shape comprising a head and a handle perpendicular thereto, each razor having a travel cap fitted thereon, the caps being secured together by frangible connections between adjacent caps, each cap having a first tubular portion fitted over the razor head to one side of the handle and a second wrap-around portion integral with the first portion and extending over the razor head alongside the handle and to the opposite side of the handle from the first portion, the wrap-around portion having edges extending along the razor head and spaced apart sufficiently to permit the razor head to be slid into and out of the cap.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
114 words
A pack of disposable razors, each of substantially T shape comprising a head and a handle perpendicular thereto, each razor having a travel cap fitted thereon, the caps being secured together by frangible connections between adjacent caps, each cap having a first tubular portion fitted over the razor head to one side of the handle and a second wrap-around portion integral with the first portion and extending over the razor head alongside the handle and to the opposite side of the handle from the first portion, the wrap-around portion having edges extending along the razor head and spaced apart sufficiently to permit the razor head to be slid into and out of the cap.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
151 words
A pack of disposable razors, each of substantially T shape comprising a head and a handle perpendicular thereto, each razor having a travel cap fitted thereon, the caps being secured together by a common supporting strip secured to the caps, each cap having a first tubular portion fitted over the razor head to one side of the handle and a second wrap-around portion integral with the first portion and extending over the razor head alongside the handle and to the opposite side of the handle from the first portion, the wrap-around portion having edges extending along the razor head and spaced apart sufficiently to permit the cap to be slid on to and off the razor head, and a mounting plate adapted to be fitted to a wall surface and having a slot shaped to receive therein said common supporting strip and thereby to support the caps on the wall plate.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
151 words
A pack of disposable razors, each of substantially T shape comprising a head and a handle perpendicular thereto, each razor having a travel cap fitted thereon, the caps being secured together by a common supporting strip secured to the caps, each cap having a first tubular portion fitted over the razor head to one side of the handle and a second wrap-around portion integral with the first portion and extending over the razor head alongside the handle and to the opposite side of the handle from the first portion, the wrap-around portion having edges extending along the razor head and spaced apart sufficiently to permit the cap to be slid on to and off the razor head, and a mounting plate adapted to be fitted to a wall surface and having a slot shaped to receive therein said common supporting strip and thereby to support the caps on the wall plate.
