  • Publication number: 20170066149
    Abstract: A shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a guard, a cap, and one or more blades located between the guard and the cap. The guard is positioned in front of the one or more blades and the cap is positioned behind said one or more blades. A heating element is mounted to the housing for transferring heat during a shaving stroke. The heating element includes a skin contacting surface and an opposing bottom surface defined by a perimeter wall. An insulating member is positioned within the perimeter wall. The insulating member has a first surface facing the bottom surface of the heating element and a second surface.

  • Publication number: 20160375596
    Abstract: A method of assembling a heating element for a shaving razor by providing an insulating member having a base with a plurality of spaced apart electrical terminals. A flexible printed circuit board having a plurality of spaced apart electrical terminals is provided. The electrical terminals of the insulating member are soldered to the corresponding electrical terminals of the flexible printed circuit board. A liquid non electrically conductive underfiller encapsulant is dispensed between the base of the insulating member of the base of the flexible printed circuit board forming a water tight seal between each of the spaced apart electrical terminals of the insulating member and between each of the electrical terminals of the flexible printed circuit board by curing the liquid non electrically conductive underfiller encapsulant.

  • Publication number: 20150197018
    Abstract: A shaving razor cartridge having a housing with a guard, a cap, and one or more blades located between the guard and the cap. The guard is positioned in front of the one or more blades and the cap is positioned behind said one or more blades. A heating element is mounted to the housing for transferring heat during a shaving stroke. The heating element has a skin contacting surface. An insulating member is positioned beneath the skin contacting surface for delivering heat to the heating element. An electrical circuit is configured to deliver energy to the insulating member. The electrical circuit includes a control circuit for temperature regulation. A power source in communication with the electrical circuit. A plurality of spaced apart thermal sensors are mounted to the insulating member and positioned below the skin contacting surface. The thermal sensors measure the temperature of the heating element and are in communication with the control circuit.
