ABSTRACT:
A handle with interchangeable and releasably attachable implements, such as a razor-blade shaving head or a toothbrush head. The handle has a body portion and a head portion. The head portion has retaining structure formed thereon. Each implement has engaging structure formed thereon. The engaging structure of the implement releasably attaches to the retaining structure of the head portion of the handle. The retaining structure may include a pair of recesses oppositely disposed in the head portion. Each of the recesses may have a slot formed in a respective side of the head portion. The engaging structure may include a pair of projections disposed in a spaced relationship on the implement. Each of the projections may including a resilient tab projecting outwardly therefrom. The recesses and the projections are configured such that when the head portion of the handle is positioned diagonally between the projections of the implement and rotated, each of the resilient tabs snaps into a respective one of the slots, thereby attaching the implement to the handle. To detach, the implement is rotated in an opposite direction to snap the tabs out of the slots.
