Abstract: A safety razor head including a guard member, a platform member fixed to the guard member, a leading blade fixed to the platform member, a cap member, a following blade fixed to the cap member, and flexible bridge portions interconnecting the guard and cap members, the bridge portions extending transversely to cutting edges of the blades and being adapted to permit resilient flexing of the cap member relative to the guard member during a shaving operation.

Abstract: A safety razor head, which may be a replaceable cartridge or part of a disposable razor, has leading and following tandem blades fast with a guard member and a cap member, respectively. The members are pivotally mounted for angular movement independently of each other about spaced axes parallel with the blade edges. Alternatively, the members may be interconnected by flexible bridge portions to provide for the relative angular movement of one member and blade relative to the others.

Abstract: A disposable razor has its head formed with a rearwardly directed pocket to receive the forward portion of the head of a second razor to its rear, so as to protect the cutting edge or edges of the second razor. The razors are firmly but releasably interengaged with each other by co-operating projections and recess.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel process for the preferential chlorination of alumina over silica in the carbo-chlorination of kaolinitic ores to produce aluminum chloride. The process comprises introducing small amounts of alkali metal compounds with oxyanions into the carbo-chlorination process. Preferred embodiments are directed to particular compounds of alkali metals with oxyanions selected from the group consisting of carbonates, sulfates, hydroxides, oxides, phosphates, and the like. The present invention results in significantly reduced energy, manufacturing, and equipment costs and thus represents a breakthrough in the utilization of domestic ores such as kaolinitic clay for the production of aluminum chloride or alumina through oxidation of the aluminum chloride.

Abstract: A safety razor comprises an elongated handle that has a pair of arcuate, laterally spaced guide rails; a support member that has a pair of elongated guide means for sliding cooperation with the respective guide rails; a spring that acts between the handle and the support member to bias the support member towards a medial position of pivotal adjustment relative to the handle; and a shaving unit for detachable interengagement with the support member to position its cutting edge parallel to the pivotal axis.
