Abstract: A liquid dispensing unit for a hair removal device with a reservoir and an applicator in liquid communication with the reservoir. A first and second connector are in liquid communication with the reservoir. The first and second connector each have a respective first and second valve. A resilient tube is disposed between the connectors. The resilient tube has a neutral position with both valves closed and a second position with one valve open and one valve closed.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing razor with a handle defining a cavity. A cartridge mounted to the handle. The cartridge has a cap, a guard and one or more blades between the cap and the guard. A fluid applicator is mounted to the shaving razor cartridge for delivering fluid to a surface to be shaved. A fluid reservoir is at least partially positioned within the cavity of the handle. The fluid reservoir has an inner wall defining an opening and a frangible seal within the opening. A fluid connector is positioned within the cavity. The fluid connector has an angled tip configured to pierce the frangible seal to establish a fluid connection between the fluid applicator and the fluid reservoir. The fluid reservoir has an inner wall with an annular rib that engages the fluid connector.

Abstract: A replaceable fluid dispensing cartridge for a liquid dispensing razor having a fluid interconnect member with a pivotable support member and a base member with a fluid port and an engagement surface for removably and fixedly mating to a corresponding engagement member of a handle. A cartridge housing is mounted to the pivotable support member. The cartridge housing has a guard, a cap, and at least one blade between the cap and the guard. A fluid applicator defining an opening is fixedly joined to the interconnect member.

Abstract: A shaving cartridge with a housing, cap at a rear of the housing, one or more blades mounted to the housing in front of the cap, and a guard at a front of the housing. The guard has a top surface with a plurality of undulating rows extending parallel to the blade. The undulating rows have crests and valleys. The valleys comprise an elastomeric material and are stepped from a front of the guard to a rear of the guard.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing cartridge for a personal care appliance with a fluid applicator having a baffle with a rear wall and an opposing resilient front flap. The baffle defines at least one outlet port. The resilient front flap contacts a portion of the rear wall in a first position and is spaced apart from the portion in a second position.

Abstract: A shaving razor with a handle and a housing mounted to the handle. The housing has a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and at least one blade having a cutting edge. The blade is mounted to the housing with a blade support structure. A guard is at the distal end portion of the housing and has a plurality of projections substantially perpendicular to the blade that define a plurality of slots. A washout cavity beneath the blade is defined by an inner surface of the guard and an inner surface of the blade support structure. The washout cavity has an open area of at least 80 percent for allowing unobstructed passage of water substantially along an entire length of the blade.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing hair removal device having a handle and a cartridge mounted to the handle. The cartridge has at least one blade. A dispensing unit is within the handle. The dispensing unit has a reservoir, a pump in liquid communication with the reservoir, and an applicator in liquid communication with the pump. The applicator has at least one outlet port and a baffle defining an elongated recess with a resilient front wall that flexes from a first position to a second position.

Abstract: A personal-care appliance having a handle defining a cavity. A fluid connector is positioned within the cavity. A fluid reservoir is positioned within the cavity.

Abstract: A hair removal device having a handle with a first interior wall and a second opposing interior wall that has a tapered surface. A cover is mounted to the handle. A dispensing unit having a first and second position is within the handle. The dispensing unit has a reservoir containing a liquid, a pump in liquid communication with the reservoir in the second position, and first and second connectors that are spaced apart. The mounting of the cover to the handle urges at least one of the connectors to slide along the tapered surface forcing the first and second connectors toward each other.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing hair removal device with a cartridge having at least one blade. The liquid dispensing hair removal device has a handle with a pair of opposing movable arms removably engaged to the cartridge. A dispensing unit is disposed within the handle. A cover is removably mounted to the handle. The cover has a closed position with a pair of cartridge retention members positioned between the pair of arms of the handle. The cartridge retention members contact the pair of arms preventing disengagement of the cartridge from the handle.
