The resilient front flap is generally parallel to a rear wall of the baffle in the neutral position and generally transverse to the rear wall in the forward position.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing shaving razor having a fluid interconnect member with a fluid port extending from a base member at a first end. A cartridge housing mounted to the fluid interconnect member. A fluid applicator is mounted to a second end of the fluid interconnect member. A handle has a first end with a resilient member defining an opening. The fluid port is releasably engaged within the opening of the resilient member.

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 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 fluid dispensing razor with a handle defining a cavity configured to receive a fluid reservoir. A fluid dispensing cartridge is mounted to the handle. A fluid connector is pivotably coupled to the handle. The fluid connector has a neutral position and a biased loading position. The fluid connector in the biased loading position is inclined at an angle of about 10 degrees to about 60 degrees relative to the fluid connector in the neutral 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. The fluid reservoir has a frangible seal that is spaced apart from the fluid connector. A cover is mounted to the handle over the cavity.

Abstract: A cartridge with a housing having a cap, a guard having a base, and at least one blade mounted to the housing. The blade has a blade edge between the cap and the guard. The guard has an elongated recessed region and one or more trailing projections between the blade edge and the elongated recessed region. The elongated recessed region has one or more leading projections positioned below a tangent line extending from the cap to one of the trailing projections.

Abstract: A cartridge biasing handle having an elongated body, a head at a first end of the body, a pair of integral resilient arms extending outward from the head to a distal end, and a slot between the head and each integral resilient arm. Each integral resilient arm has a rest position with a slot width and pivot position with a slot width. The integral resilient arms flex inwardly and the slot width of the rest position is greater than the slot width of the pivot position.

Abstract: A shaving razor includes a handle having a body with a head and a pair of integral resilient arms extending outward from the head to a distal end. Each integral resilient arm defines a slot having a slot width. A cartridge is mounted to the handle. The cartridge has a top surface and an opposing bottom surface. The top surface has a guard, a cap, at least one blade between the cap and the guard. The bottom surface has a pair of cam faces each slidingly engaging one of the integral resilient arms. The cartridge has a rest position and a pivot position wherein each of the cam faces forces the respective integral resilient arm inward toward the opposing integral resilient arm biasing the cartridge from the pivot position back to the rest position.

Abstract: A shaving razor with a handle having an elongated gripping section with a pair of spaced apart integral arms defining a slot having a slot width extending into the elongated gripping section. A cartridge support member is integral with and extends outwardly from each of the spaced apart arms. A cartridge has a housing with a guard, a cap, and at least one blade between the cap and the guard. A bottom surface of the housing has a cam face under the guard. Each cam face defines an open space and slidingly engages one of the cartridge support members for receiving forces from the handle to bias the cartridge in a rest position. The cartridge pivots relative to the handle between the rest position and a pivot position. The slot width is greater in the rest position than the slot width in the pivot position.

Abstract: A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a guard at a front of the housing. One or more blades are behind the guard and each blade has a blade edge. A cap is secured to the housing and comprises a water leachable shaving aid. The cap has a front face extending parallel to the blade edge. The front face of the cap is unsupported by the housing.

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 shaving cartridge with a housing having a guard and a cap that define a shaving plane tangential thereto. The housing has a first blade with a blade edge positioned between the guard and the cap. A second blade has a blade edge positioned between the cap and the blade edge of the first blade. The first blade defines a plurality of rinse-through openings positioned between the blade edge of the first blade and the blade edge of the second blade.
