  • Patent number: 9687988
    Abstract: A method of forming a functional razor cartridge for repeated shaving comprises rapid prototyping a housing of a razor cartridge. The housing has a front wall, a rear wall and opposing side walls disposed transverse to and between said front and rear walls. The method further comprises loading a metal insert with one or more elongate blade assemblies and disposing the metal insert in the housing such that the one or more blade assemblies extend between the opposing side walls of the housing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9540593
    Abstract: A liquid cleaning and/or cleansing composition comprising non-spherical and/or non-rolling abrasive cleaning particles wherein the abrasive cleaning particles comprise extruded, and/or three-dimensional printed, elements having a longitudinal length “L” extending parallel to a z-axis and a complex cross-sectional shape extending on a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal length “L” and parallel to an x-y plane, wherein the complex cross-sectional shape comprises one or more elongate protrusions projecting in a direction parallel to the longitudinal length “L”, each protrusion having at least one edge, and wherein the complex cross-sectional shape is a predetermined non-random cross-sectional shape.

  • Patent number: 9540594
    Abstract: A liquid cleaning and/or cleansing composition comprising non-spherical and/or non-rolling abrasive cleaning particles wherein the abrasive cleaning particles comprise extruded, and/or three dimensional printed, elements wherein the elements have a longitudinal length L extending parallel to a z-axis and a predetermined cross-sectional shape on a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal length L and projecting along the length L, the predetermined cross-sectional shape having a form factor of from 0.1 to 0.7 as measured according to ISO 9276-6, and wherein the ratio of the length L to perimeter-equivalent diameter of the predetermined cross-sectional shape “ECD PHull” is from 0.5 to 3.
