  • Patent number: 10562199
    Abstract: A novel connecting member of razor is shown to have a plurality of chamfers on at least one finger disposed at an end of an arm. Desirably, both arms have two chamfers on each finger. Each chamfer is disposed having an angle to a top surface of the finger. Though any angles are contemplated in the present invention, the angle of the first chamfer is desirably smaller than the angle of the second chamfer. The bearing length of the finger and the first chamfer angle are together desirably balanced to provide an optimal clearance for the fingers into openings on either end of the back of the housing and improve the pivot operation and control for the user.
