  • Publication number: 20030079348
    Abstract: A razor assembly is provided that includes a handle, a replaceable cartridge, one or more clip members, and a substantially rigid pivot member. The replaceable cartridge includes a frame and one or more razor blades. The pivot member is attached to the handle. The one or more clip members are attached to the replaceable cartridge. When loading the replaceable cartridge onto the handle, the one or more clip members deflect to receive the substantially rigid pivot member and thereby pivotally mount the replaceable cartridge on the pivot member. The replaceable cartridge is selectively detachable from the pivot member to enable replacement of the cartridge by the user. The term “substantially rigid” is used to describe the fact that the pivot member will not appreciably move (e.g., deflect, translate, etc.) relative to the replaceable cartridge during the loading or unloading of the replaceable cartridge.
