  • Patent number: 8365416
    Abstract: The invention features a hand held device that dispenses fluid during operation. The hand held device includes a handle and a device head operably engaged thereto. The handle has a proximal end forming a product dispensing aperture, a distal end forming a cavity for housing a fluid, a supply channel in fluid communication with the cavity and the product dispensing aperture, a peristaltic pump physically engaged with the supply channel, and a flexible barrier that rests between the peristaltic pump and the supply channel preventing direct contact of the supply channel by the peristaltic pump. Actuation of the peristaltic pump displaces fluid from the cavity to the product dispensing aperture.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20100263220
    Abstract: A razor including a shaving cartridge having a pivotal frame with a lower surface and an upper skin contacting surface having a guard and a cap. A blade unit is moveably secured to the pivotal frame. The blade unit carries one or more blades and has a camming surface. An interconnect member having a pivotal support structure pivotally supports the pivotal frame for pivoting about a pivot axis. A handle is secured to the interconnect member. A biasing member has a cam follower surface that extends from the interconnect member to act on the camming surface to bias the blade unit. The blade unit moves within the pivotal frame between a first position and a second position. In the first position the blade unit is nearest the lower surface of the pivotal frame and in the second position the blade unit is nearest the upper surface of the pivotal frame.
