## Background
BACKGROUND
1. Field
The information disclosed in this patent relates to a toiletries travel kit that may include a toothbrush and a razor.
2. Background Information
Toiletries include items that may be used for personal hygiene or grooming, such as toothbrush and razor articles and toothpaste and shaving cream preparations. Typically, these items are used at least one a day. Often, they are stored in a household bathroom cabinet ready for use.
Travelers also need to use toiletries at least once a day. However, it often is troublesome for travelers to carry bulky toothbrushes, razors, toothpaste, and shaving cream. Often, these items are forgotten or left behind. Moreover, the articles themselves are difficult to use and do not account for the individual user's features or desires. Thus, there is a need for a toiletries travel kit that includes items that provide more convenience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a toothbrush kit 100. FIG. 2 is an exploded isometric view of toothbrush kit 100. Toothbrush kit 100 may support the hygienic activity of a person brushing that person's teeth. Toothbrush kit 100 may include a brush head 102, a neck 104, a cap 106, a handle 108, and a tooth paste container 110.
Brush head 102 may be that portion of toothbrush kit 100 configured to enter a person's mouth. Brush head 102 may include bristles 112 and may be attached to neck 104. In one example, brush head 102 and neck 104 may be a solid piece of plastic.
Neck 104 may extend brush head 102 away from cap 106 to allow a person to reach their back teeth with brush head 102. Cap 106 may be a round top having cap threads 114 on one end and be connected to neck 104 on another end.
Handle 108 may be configured to fit comfortably within a person's hand. Handle 108 may include a cylinder 118 having a first end 120 that may be closed and a second end 122 that may be open. Second end 122 of handle 108 may include handle threads 124 that may be configured to mate with cap threads 114. In one example, handle 108 may be configured to glow in the dark where brush head 102 and neck 104 may not be configured to glow in the dark. This may have a benefit during manufacturing while still allowing toothbrush kit 100 to be viewed at night. In another example, handle 108 may be configured to glow at least one of fluorescent orange, pink, blue, and green.
Tooth paste container 110 may be a container having toothpaste and configured to fit within handle 108. In other words, handle 108 may be large enough in circumference to accommodate the storage of a supply of toothpaste or gel that may rest within an interior of handle 108.
In operation, brush head 102 may be removed from handle 108 to allow the stored paste or gel in tooth paste container 110 to be applied to bristles 112 of brush head. Next, handle 108 may be secured in place to cap 106.
Different people have different dental structure. In addition, some have large mouths and some have small mouths. To accommodate the different dental structures, it may be desirable to permit brush head 102 to bend at least 90 degrees for ease and thoroughness in brushing.
FIG. 3 is a section view of toothbrush kit 100 generally taken off of line 3-3 of FIG. 1. Toothbrush kit 100 additionally may include a steel support 126. Steel support 126 may include an elongated portion 128 and a disk 130 attached at one end to the elongated portion 128. Elongated portion 128 may extend through a length of neck 104 and cap 106. In one example, elongated portion 128 may extend into brush head 102. Disk 130 may be a round plate positioned in cap 106.
FIG. 4 is an elevated view of toothbrush kit 100 illustrating movement 132 of toothbrush kit 100. Both neck 104 and steel support 126 (FIG. 3) together may be configured to bend between an angle 134 of at least 90-degrees and retain that angle within plus/minus five degrees. In this sense, neck 104 may be thought of as a flexible neck.
FIG. 5 is an elevated view of a razor kit 500. Razor kit 500 may include a shaver head 502, a neck 504, a cap 506, a handle 508, and a shaving cream container 510.
Shaver head 502 may be that portion of razor kit 500 configured to interact with a person's face. Shaver head 502 may include blades 512 and may be attached to neck 504. In one example, shaver head 502 and neck 504 may be a solid piece of plastic.
Neck 504 may extend shaver head 502 away from cap 506 to minimize interference from a user's hand while shaving. Cap 506 may be a round top having cap threads 514 (hidden in view)) on one end and be connected to neck 504 on another end.
Handle 508 may be configured to fit comfortably within a person's hand. Handle 508 may include a cylinder 518 having a first end 520 that may be closed and a second end 522 that may be open. Second end 522 of handle 508 may include handle threads 524 (hidden in view) that may be configured to mate with cap threads 514. In one example, handle 508 may be configured to glow in the dark where shaver head 502 and neck 504 may not be configured to glow in the dark. This may have a benefit during manufacturing while still allowing razor kit 500 to be viewed at night. In another example, handle 508 may be configured to glow at least one of fluorescent orange, pink, blue, and green.
Shaving cream container 510 may be a container having shaving cream and configured to fit within handle 508. In other words, handle 508 may be large enough in circumference to accommodate the storage of a supply of shaving cream that may rest within an interior of handle 508.
In operation, shaver head 502 may be removed from handle 508 to allow the stored cream in shaving cream container 510 to be applied to blades 512 of shaver head. Next, handle 508 may be secured in place to cap 506.
Different people have different facial structure. To accommodate the different facial structures, it may be desirable to permit shaver head 502 to bend at least 90 degrees for ease and thoroughness in shaving. Razor kit 500 additionally may include a steel support 526. Steel support 526 may include an elongated portion 528 and a disk 530 attached at one end to the elongated portion 528. Elongated portion 528 may extend through a length of neck 504 and cap 506. In one example, elongated portion 528 may extend into shaver head 502. Disk 530 may be a round plate positioned in cap 506.
FIG. 6 is an elevated front view of a toiletries travel kit 600. Toiletries travel kit 600 may include toothbrush kit 100 and razor kit 500 in a bag 602. Each of toothbrush kit 100 and razor kit 500 may have their respective necks bent to at least 150-degrees to compact these items in as small of volume as possible.
The toiletries travel kit may include an oral care product that may combine a toothbrush together with toothpaste in one compact unit. While this oral care product may be of use to a wide array of individuals, it may be of particular appeal to travelers and members of the labor force, as well as college students. The toiletries travel kit may be produced in a wide array of sizes and colors appropriate for use by all.
The toiletries travel kit may fulfill a need for a more convenient device through which to brush one's teeth and shave one's face. The toiletries travel kit may eliminate the need to employ a toothbrush and separate tube of toothpaste and a razor separate from a shaving cream can. In addition, it may simplify the tooth brushing activity while in the home and when traveling or at work. Appealing features of the toiletries travel kit include its convenience, two-in-one design, portability, and compact size.
The toiletries travel kit may contain the toothbrush and toothpaste in one easy-to-transport unit. This may be used in the home or while traveling, working, or at school. The toiletries travel kit may eliminate the need to carry a full-sized toothbrush and tube of toothpaste separately. The use of the toiletries travel kit may reduce the mess commonly associated with using a separate tube of toothpaste including toothpaste landing upon every surface but the bristles of the brush head. In addition, the toiletries travel kit may eliminate mess associated with the cap coming off the tube of toothpaste while traveling. The toiletries travel kit may also provide the user with peace of mind that his breath was fresh and his teeth clean. In addition, the toiletries travel kit may reduce the chances of forgetting to pack oral hygiene products, and it may take up less space in a suitcase or overnight bag. This hygiene care product may be easily stored and transported.
