Abstract
Abstract An internally hollow package includes front, rear and side panels. A pair of aligned openings are cut in the front and rear panels leaving corresponding flaps contiguous with an end panel. The flaps and the end panel abut and secure the heads of a set of razors. The razor handles are positioned between the front and rear panels and extend toward an opposite end panel having an opening formed therein through which the razor handles pass and remain secured. Two sets of razors are oppositely positioned in symmetrical relation to each other thus permitting the package to be hung straight from a central mounting hole located equidistant from the end panels.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
177 words
A hollow package for safety razors, each razor having a head and a handle, the package comprising: front, rear and side panels articulated together; first means formed in the front and rear panels for securing the heads of a first plurality of razors therein; second means formed in a first side panel, opposite the first means, for supporting the handles of the first plurality of razors therein; third means formed in said front and rear panels substantially identical to and formed diammetrically opposite the first means and adjacent said second means for securing the heads of a second plurality of razors therein; and fourth means substantially identical to the second means and formed adjacent said first means in a second side panel, opposite the first side panel, for supporting the handles of the second plurality of razors therein so that said second plurality of razors are in an opposite symmetrical relationship and vertically aligned with respect to said first plurality of razors to thereby provide symmetrically distributed weight relative to the central longitudinal axis of the package.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
177 words
A hollow package for safety razors, each razor having a head and a handle, the package comprising: front, rear and side panels articulated together; first means formed in the front and rear panels for securing the heads of a first plurality of razors therein; second means formed in a first side panel, opposite the first means, for supporting the handles of the first plurality of razors therein; third means formed in said front and rear panels substantially identical to and formed diammetrically opposite the first means and adjacent said second means for securing the heads of a second plurality of razors therein; and fourth means substantially identical to the second means and formed adjacent said first means in a second side panel, opposite the first side panel, for supporting the handles of the second plurality of razors therein so that said second plurality of razors are in an opposite symmetrical relationship and vertically aligned with respect to said first plurality of razors to thereby provide symmetrically distributed weight relative to the central longitudinal axis of the package.

38 words
The subject matter of claim 1 wherein the first and third means each includes aligned apertures formed in the front and rear panels; and flap members extending laterally outwardly from the aligned apertures for abutting the razor heads.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The subject matter set forth in claim 2 together with aligned openings formed in the front and rear panels, equidistant from the side panels for permitting level hanging of the package.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
225 words
A package for holding articles and having front, rear, first and second side panels, the package comprising: a first pair of flaps cut out from the front and rear panels, each flap connected to a first side panel and resulting in the formation of aligned openings in the front and rear panels for receiving an end portion of a first article, said first pair of flaps and first side panel restraining outward article displacement from the package; a first opening formed in the second side panel, opposite said first pair of flaps, for receiving an opposite end of the first article; a second pair of flaps positioned diametrically opposite said first pair and likewise cut out from the front and rear panels, said second pair of flaps being connected to the second side panel adjacent said first opening and resulting in the formation of aligned openings in the front and rear panels for receiving an end portion of a second article; and a second opening formed in the first side panel adjacent said first pair of flaps and opposite said second pair of flaps, for receiving an opposite end of the second article, whereby the first and second articles are in an opposite symmetrical relationship vertically aligned with respect to each other and symmetrically distributed in weight relative a central longitudinal axis of the package.
