  • Publication number: 20190308336
    Abstract: A shaving blade cartridge includes a housing having first and second longitudinal sides extend longitudinally along a longitudinal axis. A primary cutting blade with a cutting edge is mounted on the housing, and a primary cap is located rearward of the cutting edge. A trimming element having a trimming edge is mounted on the housing, and the trimming edge and cutting edge are disposed opposite from each other. A trimming guard bar edge corresponds to an intersection between an apex of the trimming guard bar and an upper horizontal surface of the trimming guard bar. The trimming edge, trimming guard bar, and an external surface of the trimming guard bar define a theoretical limit trimming curve (TLTC). The TLTC passes through the trimming edge and through the trimming guard bar edge such that the TLTC encloses the trimming guard bar and the primary cap.

  • Patent number: 10377051
    Abstract: A shaving blade cartridge includes a housing having first and second longitudinal sides extending between top and bottom sides. A primary cutting blade is mounted on the housing and has a cutting edge. A primary cap is located rearward of the cutting edge. A trimming element includes a trimming edge, the trimming edge and the cutting edge being opposite. A trimming guard bar includes a trimming guard bar edge. The trimming edge, the trimming guard bar edge, and a tangent to the trimming guard bar in the vicinity of the trimming guard bar edge define a theoretical limit trimming curve which is concave when viewed in relation to the trimming guard bar. The trimming guard bar is disposed behind and/or tangential to the theoretical limit trimming curve toward the second longitudinal side, such that the trimming guard bar does not project beyond the theoretical limit trimming curve.
