The disclosure and prior art relates to razor devices and more particularly pertains to a new razor device for shaving with an open palm.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a grip. The grip may be positioned in a palm of a hand thereby facilitating the grip to inhibit symptoms of tendonitis. A blade unit is removably coupled to the grip. Thus, the blade unit may shave hair.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The grip 12 comprises a panel 20 that has a first surface 22, a second surface 24 and a peripheral edge 26 extending therebetween. The peripheral edge 26 has a first lateral side 28 and a second lateral side 30. Moreover, the panel 20 is concavely arcuate between the first lateral side 28 and the second lateral side 30. Thus, the panel 20 conforms to the palm 14 of the hand 16 thereby enhancing gripping the panel 20.
A pair of horns 32 is provided. Each of the horns 32 is coupled to and extends upwardly from the first surface 22. The horns 32 are spaced apart from each other. Each of horns 32 has a distal end 34 with respect to the first surface 22.
Each of the horns 32 is concavely arcuate between the first surface 22 and the distal end 34. Thus, each of the pair of horns 32 forms an open ring. Each of the horns 32 may engage a finger 36 thereby facilitating the panel 20 to be retained on the palm 14. Moreover, each of the horns 32 is positioned closer to the second lateral side 30 than the first lateral side 28.
The blade unit 18 includes a frame 38. The frame 38 has a pair of first members 40 extending between each of a pair of second members 42. The first members 40 are spaced apart from each other such that the frame 38 forms a rectangle. The pair of second members 42 includes a primary member 44 and a secondary member 46. A plurality of blades 48 is provided. The blades 48 are coupled between each of the second members 42. Each of the blades 48 has a cutting edge 50.
The plurality of blades 48 includes a first set of blades 52 and a second set of blades 54. Each of the first set of blades 52 and each of the second set of blades 54 are spaced from a center 56 of the frame 38. The cutting edge 50 corresponding to the first set of blades 52 is directed toward the center 56 of the frame 38. The cutting edge 50 corresponding to the second set of blades 54 is directed toward the center 56 of the frame 38.
A plurality of lubrication strips 58 is provided. Each of the lubrication strips 58 is coupled between the second members 42. Moreover, the lubrication strips 58 are spaced apart from each other and distributed between the first set of blades 52 and the second set of blades 54. Each of the lubrication strips 58 enhances comfort of the blades 48. A first pin 60 is coupled to and extends away from the primary member 44. A second pin 62 is coupled to and extends away from the secondary member 46.
A first tab 64 is coupled to and extends away from the second surface 24 of the panel 20. The first tab 64 is aligned with the first lateral side 28 of the panel 20. A first opening 66 extends through the first tab 64. The first pin 60 on the blade unit 18 extends through the first opening 66.
A second tab 68 is provided. The second tab 68 is coupled to and extends away from the second surface 24 of the panel 20. The second tab 68 is aligned with the second lateral side 30 of the panel 20. A second opening 70 extends through the second tab 68.
The second pin 62 on the blade unit 18 extends through the second tab 68. Thus, the blade unit 18 is retained on the grip 12. The second tab 68 is comprised of a resiliently bendable material. Thus, the second tab 68 may be urged away from the blade unit 18 thereby facilitating the blade unit 18 to be removed from the panel 20.
In use, the blade unit 18 is coupled between the first tab 64 and the second tab 68. The finger 36 is extended between each of the horns 32 and the panel 20 is positioned on the palm 14. The grip 12 is manipulated thereby facilitating each of the blades 48 to shave hair. The grip 12 facilitates the blade unit 18 to be manipulated with an open palm 14. Thus, the grip 12 inhibits symptoms of carpal tunnel or the like from being aggravated by shaving with a closed hand 16.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, system and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
