Abstract: A storage and display assembly for a shaving razor system. The assembly comprising has a case with a top portion and a bottom portion. The top and bottom portions being coupled together so as to be movable relative to one another between a closed position and an open position. The top and bottom portions, when in the closed position, define an inner cavity sized to receive the shaving razor system. A securement cover associated with the top and bottom portions to maintain the top and bottom portions in the to be moved to the open position. The securement cover comprises at least one of product indicia closed position. The securement cover being removable from the case to allow the top and bottom portions or product imagery.

Abstract: An apparatus for demonstrating at least a first shaving razor, having a first shaving surface with a first lubrication member, may include a first sheet of paper, a liquid composition, and a light source transmitting ultraviolet light onto the first sheet of paper. The liquid composition may include water and an ultraviolet dye. The apparatus may position the shaving razor to engage the first sheet of paper and to allow relative motion between the first lubrication member and the first sheet of paper such that the first lubrication member deposits the liquid composition onto the first sheet of paper.
Abstract: A shaving cartridge with a housing having a primary guard and a secondary cap. A bridge member is integrally molded with the housing. The bridge member has a plurality of spaced apart parallel ribs. The plurality of spaced part ribs define a primary cap surface and a secondary guard surface. A first blade having a cutting edge is mounted to the housing between the primary guard and the primary cap surface. A second blade having a cutting edge extending in a same direction as the cutting edge of the first blade is mounted to the housing between the secondary guard surface and the secondary cap. The cutting edge of the first blade and the cutting edge of the second blade define an interblade span greater than 3.0 mm. The plurality of spaced apart parallel ribs define a plurality of rinse openings extending through the bridge member.
Abstract: A method is provided for transporting components using a gripping apparatus. The gripping apparatus includes a body defining a chamber and includes an exhaust at a first end of the body. The gripping apparatus also includes an air conveyor positioned within the chamber. The method includes attaching a gripper head to a second end of the body opposite to the first end. The gripper head defines one or more openings and a nest. The method further includes generating an air flow through an inlet of the air conveyor and out through the exhaust. The method further includes applying suction via the one or more openings in the gripper head to locate and releasably hold one of the components with the gripper head at the first location based on the generating step. The method further includes transporting the component from the first location to a second location.
Abstract: A manual toothbrush, having a front side and a back side, includes a disposable head comprising a head material and a reusable handle comprising a handle material that is different from the head material. The head is to be repeatedly attached to and detached from the handle by being moved relative to the handle in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis. The head includes a head material having a head-material density, and the handle includes a handle material having a handle-material density, wherein the handle-material density is greater than the head-material density. The toothbrush is structured and configured so that when the toothbrush is placed on its back side on a substantially planar surface, the toothbrush remains on its back side in a balanced position—and when the toothbrush is thereafter moved out of said balanced position, the toothbrush automatically returns to the balanced position.
