Abstract:
A case and contents thereof comprising:a first object which is an electric personal care appliance;a second object which is a sower supplying element which during use delivers power to the appliance;a supporting structure made of a first flexible material;a hinge portion subdividing the supporting structure into a first section and a second section, wherein when the case is in a fully open condition, the first and second sections lie next to each other in a common plane with the hinge portion between them and when the case is in a fully closed position, the first and second said sections lie superimposed on one another, thereby forming a closed case;a first retaining structure provided on the first section and which holds the first object onto the first section and oriented parallel to the hinge portion; anda second retaining structure provided on the second section and which holds the second object onto the second section and oriented parallel to the hinge portion,wherein said first and second retaining structures are arranged on the supporting structure so that the first and second objects lie in a single layer and separated by the hinge portion when the case is fully open and lie immediately adjacent to one another in said single layer when the case is fully closed, with the second object located between the first object and the hinge portion, and with the separation of the first section from the second section being substantially equal to the thickness of the first object, wherein when the case is in the fully open condition both first and second retaining means face in a first direction and in the fully closed condition the first and second retaining means face in opposite directions to each other,and wherein the first and second retaining structures are both made of flexible materials which are fixedly attached respectively to the first and second sections of the support structure so as to define openings through which during use the corresponding first and second objects are inserted into and withdrawn at will from held positions defined by the said first and second retaining structures, respectively.
