Abstract: A utility knife includes a handle base and a neck connected to the handle base for pivotal movement relative to the handle base between a closed position and an open position. The knife also includes a utility blade holder slidingly carried by the neck for sliding movement relative to the neck between a retracted position and an extended position. A utility blade is carried by the blade holder such that movement of the utility blade holder between its extended and retracted positions moves the utility blade between an exposed position in which a cutting edge of the blade is exposed, and a protected position in which the cutting edge of the blade is protected by the neck.

Abstract: A shaving foil for a dry shaver has a plurality of perforation arranged in an array. The shaving foil is formed in its skin contact surface with a plurality of recesses which define a thin section of reduced thickness at the recesses, while leaving thick sections at the remainder of the foil. Each perforation is configured to have its circumference defined partly by the thin section and partly by the thick section. Both of the thin and thick sections can come into contact with a user's skin for smoothly guiding hairs into the perforations to make close shaving without irritating the skin, while the shaving foil is moved across the skin. Especially, the thin sections act to cut the hairs shorter than the thick section, as wall as to raise flattened hairs into the perforations for successfully cutting the flattened hairs.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a plurality of circular shaped, slotted foils or cutting heads are simultaneously produced using electroforming production techniques followed by passage of each slotted foil or cutting head through either a single die or a progressive die to form the slotted foil or cutting head into the desired three-dimensional circular or annular shape required for a rotary shaver. Furthermore, in order to produce a slotted foil or cutting head which is extremely thin, to attain a close, comfortable shave, each of the fully formed slotted foils or cutting heads is passed through an insert molding operation, wherein a supporting rim or ring is affixed to the outer edge of the slotted foil or cutting head, thereby imparting rigidity or stiffness thereto. As a result, slotted foils or cutting head are able to be manufactured at a substantially reduced cost, and with precisely desired and controlled configurations.
