  • Patent number: 11571828
    Abstract: A shaving razor handle includes, a main body, a pair of arms extending from the main body, and a pivoting head. The pivoting head includes a base member and a biasing member. The base member is pivotally coupled with the pair of arms to facilitate pivoting of the pivoting head about a pivot axis between a home position and a fully pivoted position. The base member includes a front wall and a rear wall. The front wall includes a front exterior surface. The rear wall includes a rear exterior surface. The biasing member is operably coupled with the main body and is configured to bias the pivoting head into the home position.

  • Patent number: 10773408
    Abstract: A shaving razor handle includes a main body, a pair of arms extending from the main body, and a pivoting head that extends between an upper end and a lower end. The pivoting head includes a base member and a biasing member. The base member is pivotally coupled with the pair of arms to facilitate pivoting of the pivoting head about a pivot axis between a home position and a fully pivoted position. The base member includes a front wall and a rear wall. The front wall includes a first vertical height. The rear wall includes a second vertical height. The biasing member is operably coupled with the main body and is configured to bias the pivoting head into the home position. The first vertical height is less than the second vertical height.
