Patent number: 8931380Abstract: A skin engaging member for a razor cartridge includes an erodible first layer and an erodible second layer below the first layer. Each layer includes a lubricious water soluble polymer and can include a water insoluble polymer. The second layer includes a fragrance that can be in the form of microcapsules or a suitable additive of the polymeric material(s). As the first layer erodes during normal use of the razor cartridge the second layer is eventually exposed dissolving or fracturing the microcapsules or otherwise releasing the fragrance. The fragrance is malodorous indicating to e.g. a vision impaired user that the optimal life of the razor cartridge is at or nearing its end. The first layer can also be provided with a non-malodorous fragrance. A third erodible layer can be provided between the first and second layer and can also include a fragrance. End-of-optimal-life indication can be rapid or gradual.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2011Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Eveready Battery Company Inc.Inventor: David Coffin

Publication number: 20080034593Abstract: A razor cartridge is provided that includes a frame, at least four razor blades, a guard that includes a contact surface, and a cap that includes a contact surface. The razor blades are supported by the frame. The guard is disposed forward of the razor blades and the cap is disposed aft of the razor blades. The razor blades are arranged so that the cutting edge of each razor blade is adjacent a plane that tangentially intersects the contact surfaces of the guard and the cap. As a result, each stroke of the razor exposes the surface being shaved to at least four razor blade cutting edges in succession. A unitary razor assembly that includes a head characterized in the same manner as the above-described cartridge is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2007Publication date: February 14, 2008Applicant: Eveready Battery Company, Inc.Inventor: David Coffin

Patent number: 7210229Abstract: In a razor cartridge, a frame has an opening defined in part by a leading surface and a trailing surface. Positioned within the opening are a plurality of cutting edges, each cutting edge defined by a blade. In a shaving operation, a hirsute surface contacts in turn the leading surface, cutting edges, and the trailing surface. A contact plane is defined between the leading surface and the trailing surface that provides a reference for determining whether a cutting edge has a neutral, positive, or negative exposure. All of the cutting edges within the razor cartridge have an exposure relative to the contact plane that is one of all positive or all negative.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2003Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Eveready Battery Company, Inc.Inventor: David Coffin

Publication number: 20070068014Abstract: A razor assembly is provided that includes a razor cartridge with one or more razor blades, a shaving aid body, a handle, and a linkage pivotally connected to the handle. The linkage is connected to the razor cartridge and the shaving aid body in a manner such that the razor cartridge and the shaving aid body are moveable relative to the handle. Movement of one of the razor cartridge or the shaving aid body in a first direction causes the other of the razor cartridge or the shaving aid body to move in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction. As a result, the positions of the shaving aid body and the razor cartridge are continuously adjusted to maintain the contact surface of the shaving aid body approximately co-planar with the cutting edges of the razor blades within the razor cartridge.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2006Publication date: March 29, 2007Applicant: Eveready Battery Company, Inc.Inventor: David Coffin
