Patent number: 8166661Abstract: A shaving system comprises a bifurcated razor handle (1,90) comprising a unitary, two-shot plastics molding having a pair of hinges (4) with elastomeric springs (11) joined by a cartridge mounting portion (30,91) which receives the bottom side of a generally flat, multi-blade cartridge (60) in fixed, snap-fit relation. The cartridge is retained in a dispenser (80) beneath a resilient leaf (84) and pressed onto the mounting portion along an engagement axis E normal to the shaving plane, the leaf being received in a recess (48) between the mounting portion and the cartridge. The cartridge is then retracted from the dispenser along a retraction axis R generally parallel with the shaving plane. The mounting portion includes digit-receiving regions (40) for pressing the mounting portion onto the cartridge, an ejection element (41,141) for disengaging the cartridge from the handle, and an elastomeric skin-engaging platform (51) arranged in advance of the shaving plane.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2008Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Knowledge & Merchandising Inc.

Publication number: 20110283539Abstract: A manual razor comprising an elongate handle and a disposable razor blade head removeably located substantially at one end of said handle. The razor blade head includes a rotatable head body and a plurality of elongate blades mounted from said head body. Both together are rotational about an axis parallel to the elongate direction of the blades. The blades can be sequentially presented to present at least one of said blades in an operative manner for shaving. An adjuster is provided that is operatively engaged with said head body and includes an input actuator located by said handle body to allow a digit of a user to actuate the rotation of the head body and plurality of elongate blades.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2009Publication date: November 24, 2011Applicant: CLOSE CUT CO LIMITEDInventor: Richard Wayne Bryan

Patent number: 8056238Abstract: The invention relates to a shaving head (5) comprising at least two bladeshaped cutting members (7, 7?, 7?) each having a straight cutting edge (9, 9?, 9?) extending parallel to a longitudinal direction (Y) of the shaving head. Each cutting member is supported in a cartridge (11) of the shaving head by means of a supporting member (17) which supports the respective cutting member in a supported area (23) on the respective cutting member. Said supported area extends over a predetermined distance (D) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Each supporting member has a first portion (25) in contact with the supported area at a location remote from the cutting edge of the respective cutting member and a second portion (27) in contact with the supported area at a location near the cutting edge of the respective cutting member. The first portion has a basic cross-sectional area, seen perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction, and the second portion has a reduced cross-sectional area.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2005Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Robert Alexander Van Eibergen Santhagens, Ype Bernardus Brada, Willem Auke Westerhof, Hette Akkerman

Patent number: 6499595Abstract: Sealed package that includes a formed plastic container, a shaving cartridge (or other stored unit) in a storage region in the container, and a removable film that covers and is sealed to a sealing surface around an entrance to the storage region. Side walls of the container have retaining structure that protrudes inward and retains the shaving cartridge (or other stored unit). The container has a lip adjacent to and extending from a side wall of the container at an entrance to the storage region to space a user's finger or thumb from the entrance during removal of the cartridge. The removable film has deadfold characteristics which facilitate removal of the cartridge when the film is still partially connected at the rear of the container. A plastic tab is attached to a portion of the film extending beyond the sealing surface of the container to initiate peeling of the film from the sealing surface. The plastic tab is spaced from the formed plastic container by a gap.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1999Date of Patent: December 31, 2002Assignee: The Gillette CompanyInventor: John D. Petricca
