Patent number: 7721451Abstract: A razor that includes a handle having an axis, at least a first and a second shaving head, and a drum that includes the first and second shaving head. The drum is pivotally mounted onto the handle about an axis substantially perpendicular to the edges of the blades, the pivoting of the drum allowing at least a first configuration in which the first shaving head projects at a front end of the handle to allow shaving while the second shaving head is at least partly covered by the handle. In a second configuration, the positions of the first shaving head and second shaving head are reversed.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2004Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Bic-Violex S.A.Inventors: Yiannis Psimadas, Spiros Gratsias, Yiannis Bozikis

Publication number: 20070180699Abstract: A razor that includes an elongated hollow handle extending longitudinally along an axis X, the handle having a front end and a back end opposite to the front end. The razor also includes a first razor head and a second razor head, which are both mounted on a support the support being mounted in the handle and slideable in the same direction substantially parallel to the handle of the axis X between the first use position and second use position. The use position allows the first razor head to project outward from the front end of the handle to allow shaving, while the second razor head is retracted in the hand; the second use position allows the second razor head to project outward from the back end of the handle to allow shaving, while the first razor head is retracted in within the handle; the use positions are preferably operated by a manually operable actuator mounted on the support for moving the razor head from one position to the other.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2005Publication date: August 9, 2007Inventors: Yiannis Psimadas, Ioannis Bozikis, Dimitris Efthimiadis
