Abstract
A disposable safety razor is provided with coupling means by which a plurality of such razors can be assembled into a stack, one behind another. Each razor handle is formed with a downwardly directed hook and an upwardly directed hook on its front and rear faces, respectively, and with a resilient latch member formed by a resilient arm extending downwardly and rearwardly of the handle and spaced from the hooks and terminating at a catch. The handle also has a ledge formed at the same level as the catch. Two adjacent razors are firmly but releasably coupled together by interengagement of the respective hooks and of the catch with its ledge. The resilient arm yields to permit deliberate disengagement of the catch from the ledge, permitting, in turn, disengagement of the hooks.
