Abstract: A method of manufacturing a component from a high-strength blank metal strip or sheet (MS) having a tensile strength of at least 850 MPa. The method comprises reducing the thickness (T) of the strip or sheet (MS) in a folding section (FS) so that a shaped section (SS) having a predetermined shape is obtained in at least a part of the folding section (FS). The strip or sheet (MS) is then folded along the shaped section (SS), so that a surface of a first section (1S) becomes arranged adjacent and parallel to a surface a the second section (2S) of the metal strip (MS). Finally, the first and second sections (1S,2S) are joined, so that the strip or sheet (MS) remains folded. With this method, it is possible to use high-strength steel, e.g. AISI 301 stainless steel, and still fold a thin strip or sheet (MS) without undesired cracks in the folding section. For example, the invention is applicable for manufacturing of plate-shaped hair-pulling elements (HPE) for a cutting unit (CU) of a shaving apparatus.

Abstract: A flat pallet for handling and storing articles includes two identical boards. Each board has at least one length side which is provided with a coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism includes a grip element and a receiving element of a configuration complementing the grip element. The grip element is spaced from a first transverse side of the board by a distance which corresponds to a distance of the receiving element from a second transverse side of the board, wherein the grip element of one board is constructed for engagement in the receiving element of the other board.
