Patent number: 11780105Abstract: A razor handle. The razor handle can have a main body and a pivoting head pivotally coupled with the main body about a first axis of rotation. A severable benefit delivery member can extend from a main body connection on the main body to a pivoting head connection on the pivoting head, the benefit delivery member providing a first biasing torque on the pivoting head to affect an angular deflection about the first axis of rotation of the pivoting head relative to the main body. A spring member can extend from a spring-main-body connection on the main body to a spring-pivoting-head connection on the pivoting head, the spring member applying a second biasing torque to affect an angular deflection about the first axis of rotation of the pivoting head relative to the main body.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: The Gillette Company LLCInventors: Ashok Bakul Patel, Steven Francis Quigley, Jin Kyung Kim, Eric Glenn Siegmann, Zachary Oliver Veugen, Regan Marie Fiascone, Steven Michael Bourque, Matthew Frank Murgida

Publication number: 20190368565Abstract: The present invention describes a novel spring mechanism for a razor. In the razor, the spring member may be disposed in a movable member assembly, portions of which may be used for ejection or pivoting. The spring may be fully encompassed within the assembly and be placed within supporting structures therein. The spring is a loop-shaped element having overlapping end portions with free distal ends. Alternately, the spring member is tear drop shaped loop shape with distal ends that are spaced apart. The spring may be disposed within a first and/or second movable member such as an eject button or a pivot member. A retarding structure on the spring provides a retarding force which is based on the interaction of the retarding structure with a protrusion on an assembly portion to keep the spring orientation intact. The spring is desirably comprised of stainless steel and is a flat wire.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2019Publication date: December 5, 2019Inventors: Matthew Frank Murgida, Jessy Lee Cusack, Kelly Daniel Bridges, Marco Fontecchio
