Patent number: 6514445Abstract: A process for forming a grooming implement is provided. The steps include providing a blank having a head and a handle, wherein the head has one or more void spaces which divide said head into at least two segments, and injecting an elastomer into the void space at a temperature of at least about 245° C. thereby fusing the elastomer to the segments and forming a resiliently flexible joint. The elastomer is the sole mechanical link between the segments such that the segments can flex relative to each other and the elastomer can be stretched to about 120% of its unstressed length without separation of the elastomer from the segments.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1999Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: David Victor Cann, Kilian John O'Neill, Roland Stark
