  • Publication number: 20110225833
    Abstract: A razor blade protection system includes a body having a top portion and a bottom portion between which the head of a razor blade may be secured, the top portion and bottom portion are biased such that the bias force must be overcome to insert the razor blade between the top portion and bottom portion. A protective material is located within the body such that, when a razor blade is secured between the top portion and bottom portion, the compressive biasing force maintains the protective material in continuous contact with the cutting edge of the razor blade. The protective material may be saturated with a corrosion inhibiting liquid.

  • Patent number: 5893213
    Abstract: A removable protective cover for use with razors and razor cartridges. The cover encloses and protects the razor head, which contains the exposed portion of the sharpened blade or blades. Lateral tabs having hooks for engagement with the razor cartridge on one end and a button area on the other end are affixed to both ends of the cover via hinges. When the button area is depressed by opposing forces, in an X-plane, the hook end disengages from the razor cartridge and the cartridge may be removed from the protective cover with minimal or no force in the Y-direction which is perpendicular to the X-plane.

  • Patent number: 5771592
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of maintaining a cover on the razor head of a wet shave razor. Such a cover is used to prevent damage to the cutting edge of the razor and to prevent accidental contact with the cutting edge when the razor is not in use. The present invention is also directed to a razor unit having a cover which is semi-permanently affixed to the razor head via a protective seal. The cover is affixed to the razor head during manufacture in a position such that it covers the cutting edges of the blades. Preferably, the cover is affixed through the use of an adhesive strip or strips which are attached to the cover and the razor head. The user must manually remove or break the adhesive strip in order to remove the cover to expose the cutting edge and begin shaving.
