Abstract

A personal care system with a stand having an outer perimeter defining a handle mounting surface extending from a top surface of the stand toward a bottom surface of the stand. A handle with an elongated body mounted to the stand. At least one magnetic element retains the elongated body of the handle within the recessed handle mounting surface.

Claims (30)

1 . A personal care system comprising:

a stand having an outer perimeter defining a recessed handle mounting surface extending from a top surface of the stand toward a bottom surface of the stand; and

a handle having an elongated body mounted to the stand; wherein at least one magnetic element retains the elongated body of the handle within the recessed handle mounting surface.

2 . The personal care unit of claim 1 wherein the recessed handle mounting surface extends along a support plane that is not parallel to a center axis of the stand.

3 . The personal care unit of claim 2 wherein the support plane intersects the center axis of the stand at an included angle of about 2 degrees to about 6 degrees.

4 . The personal care unit of claim 1 wherein the bottom surface of the stand lies on a resting plane that is spaced apart from a distal end of the handle.

5 . The personal care unit of claim 4 wherein the bottom surface of the stand lies on a plane that is spaced apart from a distal end of the handle by a horizontal distance of about 1 mm to about 10 mm.

6 . The personal care unit of claim 1 wherein less than 60% of a bottom surface of a distal end portion of the handle is supported by the stand.

7 . The personal care unit of claim 1 wherein a distal end portion of the handle mounting surface is curved in more than one direction.

8 . The personal care unit of claim 1 further comprising a magnetic element positioned within a pocket between of frame facing an inner wall of the handle mounting surface.

9 . The personal care system of claim 1 wherein the handle mounting surface toward the bottom surface has a partially subtracted hemispherical end.

10 . The personal care system of claim 1 wherein the handle mounting surface is a curved recess.

11 . The personal care system of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of a bottom surface of the handle contacts the handle mounting surface.

12 . A stand for a personal care product comprising

a top surface;

a bottom surface positioned on a resting plane transverse to a center axis;

an outer perimeter defining handle mounting surface configured to receive a handle, the handle mounting surface extending from the top surface toward the bottom surface; and

a magnetic element positioned within the stand and adjacent the handle mounting surface.

13 . The stand of claim 12 wherein the handle mounting surface lies on a resting plane that is not parallel to a center axis of the stand.

14 . The stand of claim 13 wherein the resting plane intersects the center axis of the stand at an included angle of 2 degrees to 6 degrees.

15 . The stand of claim 12 wherein the handle mounting surface toward the bottom surface has a partially subtracted hemispherical end.

16 . The stand of claim 15 wherein the partially subtracted hemispherical end is subtracted greater than 40%.

17 . The stand of claim 12 wherein the handle mounting surface is curved in more than one direction.

18 . The stand of claim 12 wherein the magnetic element is positioned between an inner wall of the handle mounting surface and a frame.

19 . A stand for a personal care product comprising

a top surface;

a bottom surface positioned on a resting plane transverse to a center axis;

an outer perimeter between the top surface and the bottom surface that defines an handle mounting surface configured to receive a handle, the handle mounting surface extends about 50% to about 90% of a length from the top surface to the bottom surface; and

a magnetic element facing an inner wall of the handle mounting surface, wherein the handle mounting surface intersects the center axis at an angle of 2 degrees to 6 degrees.

20 . The stand of claim 19 wherein the handle mounting surface has a partially subtracted hemispherical end.
