  • Patent number: 12134202
    Abstract: Coupling for a razor, comprising a first component, a second component rotatable relative thereto about a rotational axis extending therebetween, and a rotation limit, a male part thereof extending along the rotational axis into a female part thereof. The male and female parts are shaped to define one or more rotational stops to the rotation of one of the first and second components about the rotational axis relative to the other. A resilient protrusion of the second component, receivable in a recess of the first component, bends elastically in response to a force applied during shaving that rotates the one component about the rotational axis relative to the other component, and biases them towards a neutral position once the force is stopped. Fabrication of the coupling. Razor and handle comprising the coupling.

  • Patent number: 12049016
    Abstract: A razor cartridge comprising three or more substantially parallel cutting members disposed between a leading longitudinal side and a trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge. Each of the cutting members comprises a blade support comprising a blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane, and a blade attached to the blade mounting portion. The cutting members are disposed to define a plurality of inter-blade spans between cutting edges of the blades. A leading inter-blade span that is closer to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than a trailing inter-blade span is different to the trailing inter-blade span that is closer to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than the leading inter-blade span.
