In another embodiment, the light creates a visible line on a surface to be shaved, and the visible line acts as a guide for shaving.
In still another embodiment, the top portion of said housing further comprises at least two pins and the blade cartridge further comprises at least two apertures for receiving the pins and securing the blade cartridge to the housing. In yet another embodiment, the blade cartridge is pivotally attached to the pins of the housing during the use position.
In still yet another embodiment, the top portion of the housing is angled to provide for optimal shaving. In a further embodiment, a portion of the housing comprises grips.
In another further embodiment, the present invention provides for a lighted shaving apparatus comprising: a housing having opposing ends, a first bottom end forming a handle and a second top end having a connecting member, and the top end of the housing has at least one pin; and a lighting device pivotally attached to the connecting member, the lighting device has a front and back side, the front side comprising at least one light, and the pin is designed to hold at least one blade cartridge.
In yet another embodiment, the apparatus further comprises at least one blade cartridge having at least two blades, space between the blades and at least one aperture for receiving the pin, the blade cartridge designed to be attachable to and detachable from the pin, when in a use position, the lights are activated and illuminates through the space between the blades to thereby illuminate a user's face when shaving.
In a further embodiment, the top end of the housing has at least two pins and the blade cartridge has a back side with at least two apertures for receiving the pins, and the blade cartridge is pivotally attached to the two pins on the top end of the housing.
In another further embodiment, the present invention relates to a lighted shaving apparatus comprising: a housing having opposing ends, a first bottom end forming a handle and a second top end having a connecting member; a lighting device pivotally attached to the connecting member, and the lighting device has a front and back side, the front side comprises at least one light; and at least one blade cartridge has at least two blades and space between the blades, the blade cartridge is designed to be attachable to and detachable from the lighting device, when in a use position, and the lights are activated and illuminates through the space between the blades to thereby illuminate a user's face when shaving.
In yet another further embodiment, the apparatus further comprises at least one button that moves in one direction to move the connecting member and in an opposite direction to detach the attached blade cartridge.
In another embodiment, the present invention relates to a lighted shaving apparatus comprising: a housing having a first bottom end forming a handle and an opposing second top end having a connecting member configured to secure a blade cartridge; and a lighting device configured to illuminate a user's face when shaving.
In a further embodiment, the apparatus further comprises a vibration device and the blade cartridge further comprises a blade and the light projects a line on the user's face.
In another further embodiment, the apparatus further comprises at least one button that moves in one direction to move the connecting member and in an opposite direction to detach the attached blade cartridge.
In yet another further embodiment, the present invention relates to a lighted shaving apparatus for holding a blade cartridge comprising: a housing having a first bottom end forming a handle and an opposing second top end having a lighting device and a connecting member configured to secure the blade cartridge, wherein the lighting device is configured to shine between two blades of the blade cartridge.
The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the present invention. These drawings are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate one or more embodiments of the present invention and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present invention.
Among those benefits and improvements that have been disclosed, other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The drawings constitute a part of this specification and include exemplary embodiments of the present invention and illustrate various objects and features thereof.
As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention that may be embodied in various forms.
