Razor cartridges (also known as safety razor cartridges) are permanently or removably attached to a razor handle that, in use, is oriented in shaving direction. Razor cartridges typically comprise one or more cutting members, each supporting a blade, mounted perpendicular to the shaving direction. Razor cartridges are also typically provided with a guard (at a leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge in the shaving direction) and a cap (at a trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge in the shaving direction). A skin care element is also often provided at the trailing longitudinal side. In use, a user holds the razor handle in the shaving direction and brings the razor cartridge into contact with a portion of skin defining a shaving plane. Typically, the shaving plane is defined as the tangential line intersecting the first and second skin contact points of, for example, cutting edges of the shaving head. More simply, the shaving plane may be approximated as a line between the highest points on the skin-contacting surfaced of a razor cartridge—for example, the flat plane between the top of a guard and the top of a cap of the shaving head. Movement of the razor handle causes the blades of the razor cartridge to be moved across the shaving plane in the shaving direction, enabling the blades to remove unwanted hair.
The performance of razor cartridges may be further improved.
According to a first aspect, a razor cartridge is provided. The razor cartridge comprises three or more substantially parallel cutting members disposed between a leading longitudinal side, and a trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge.
Each of the cutting members comprises a blade support comprising a blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane SH (shaving surface), and a blade attached to the blade mounting portion.
The cutting members are disposed to define a plurality of inter-blade spans between cutting edges of the blades.
A leading inter-blade span that is closer to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than a trailing inter-blade span is different to the trailing inter-blade span that is closer to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than the leading inter-blade span.
In embodiments, a leading inter-blade span that is closer to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than a trailing inter-blade span is smaller than the trailing inter-blade span that is closer to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than the leading inter-blade span.
In embodiments, a leading inter-blade span that is closer to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than a trailing inter-blade span is greater than the trailing inter-blade span that is closer to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge than the leading inter-blade span.
According to an example, a razor cartridge is provided. The razor cartridge comprises three or more substantially parallel cutting members disposed between a leading longitudinal side, and a trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge.
Each of the cutting members comprises a blade support comprising a blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane SH (shaving surface), and a blade attached to the blade mounting portion.
The cutting members are disposed to define a plurality of inter-blade spans between cutting edges of the blades.
In an example, a leading inter-blade span that is closer to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge is different to a trailing inter-blade span that is closest to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge.
A leading inter-blade span that is closest to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge is smaller than a trailing inter-blade span that is closest to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge.
In other examples, a leading inter-blade span that is closer to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge is greater than a trailing inter-blade span that is closest to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge.
According to a second aspect, a method of manufacturing a razor cartridge comprises:
obtaining a razor cartridge housing, and three or more cutting members, wherein each of the
cutting members comprises a blade support comprising a blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that in use faces away from a shaving plane SH and a blade attached to the blade mounting portion; and
disposing the cutting members between a leading longitudinal side and a trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge housing in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge, wherein in use, the inner surface of the respective blade support faces away from a shaving plane SH.
The cutting members define a plurality of inter-blade spans between cutting edges of the blades.
A leading inter-blade span that is closer to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge is different to a trailing inter-blade span that is closer to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge.
According to a third aspect, there is provided a shaving razor assembly comprising:
a razor handle; and
a razor cartridge according to the first aspect. The razor cartridge is either releasably attached to the razor handle via a pivotable, or non-pivotable connection, integrally formed with the razor handle via a non-pivotable connection, or is integrally formed with the razor handle via a pivotable connection.
In an example, the razor handle may be re-used by changing the razor cartridge, or the razor cartridge is fixedly attached to the razor handle, via a pivotable, or non-pivotable connection.
According to a fourth aspect, there is provided a kit of parts, comprising a razor handle and a razor cartridge holder comprising a plurality of razor cartridges according to the first aspect.
Further embodiments are presented in the dependent claims, and the detailed description, to which the reader should now refer.
An effect of a razor cartridge according to these aspects is that when shaving, the blade supports of the cutting members are brought into contact with the skin (shaving plane) in addition to the cutting edges of the blade. Therefore, the number of contact points between the razor cartridge and the skin is increased, up to being doubled. The amount of pressure exerted on a portion of skin by each cutting edge is significantly reduced, leading to fewer incidents of skin injury (“nicking”) and a more comfortable shave.
The blade is mounted on an inner surface of the blade support to enable the blade support to simultaneously contact the skin at the same time as the cutting edge of the blade, in use. This means that the portions of the blade support in contact with the skin reduce or minimize the “skin bulge”, thus reducing the risk of nicks and cuts occurring.
Another effect is that durability of the blades is prolonged, since less pressure is applied to the skin thus resulting in a less aggressive shaving and therefore the blades wear at a lower rate.
The provision of a smaller to larger variable inter-blade span from the leading longitudinal side to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge means a less aggressive and smoother shaving, thus resulting in the user suffering from fewer nicks and cuts and skin irritation. A smaller inter-blade span towards the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge enhances glideness of the shaver along the shaving plane and improves the support of the skin at the leading edge of the razor cartridge with the same number of blades as compared to a conventional razor.
This makes the razor cartridge suitable for frequent (daily) shavers. Daily shavers do not need to remove such a large amount of hair compared to infrequent shavers. Therefore, a large gap in proximity to the leading edge of the razor cartridge is less important for frequent shavers. However, the advantages of the skin support concept using blades mounted on an inner surface of the blade support still enables a shave having better glideness. And this effect is provided at the same time that the rinsability of the cartridge is enhanced owing to the increased gap in proximity to the trailing edge of the razor cartridge.
In an example where the leading inter-blade span between cutting edges towards the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge is greater than a trailing inter-blade span between cutting edges towards the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge, another effect is that the larger gap between the cutting members at the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge enables more removed hair to pass through, and a greater flow of debris and foam during shaving as well as a greater degree of rinsability. Infrequent razor users wait several days between shaving, leading to a requirement for a greater degree of hair removal compared to the case of a user who shaves daily. Therefore, a razor cartridge according to this example is better adapted to users who shave less frequently, because the increased inter-blade span (or spans) towards the leading longitudinal edge of the razor cartridge can accommodate the denser and/or longer hair clippings characteristic of users who shave less frequently.
An inter blade span is defined, in an example, with reference to a plane intersecting the cutting edges of at least two blades of a razor cartridge. A line between the cutting edges of first and second blades and perpendicular to the first and second cutting edges is an inter blade span (or space). In the following application, the fact that a first inter-blade span and a second inter-blade span are “different” to each other means that a first distance defining the first inter-blade span in the transverse direction of the razor cartridge, and a second distance defining the second inter-blade span in the transverse direction of the razor cartridge have a different length. In other words, the first distance is, in an example, greater than the second distance. In another example, the first distance is smaller than the second distance. In other words, a first distance defining the parallel separation of the first inter-blade span is greater than, or smaller than, a second distance defining the parallel separation of the second inter-blade span.
In general, a razor cartridge according to the present specification provides a razor cartridge wherein each of the cutting members comprises a blade support comprising a blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane, where the inter-blade spacing may be customized to provide a range of razor cartridges to suit a variety of shaving habits.
Other characteristics will be apparent from the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this disclosure. The drawings are intended to further explain the present disclosure and to enable a person skilled in the art to practice it. However, the drawings are intended as non-limiting examples. Common reference numerals on different figures indicate like or similar features.
The mounting of the razor cartridge 20 to the distal portion 6 of the handle 2 in the illustration is via a pivotable bearing member 8a enabling a frame of reference of the handle 2 to vary relative to a frame of reference of the razor cartridge 20, to thus enable the angle of the razor cartridge against the skin of a user to vary and adapt to changes during use.
In particular, the razor cartridge 20 pivots relative to the handle 2 about the longitudinal axis L of the razor cartridge 20, in use. The pivoting enables the user to adapt to contours of the body, for example. The longitudinal axis L of the razor cartridge 20 is substantially perpendicular to the shaving direction along the handle 2. Another example of a connection mechanism for connecting the razor cartridge 20 to the handle 2 is discussed in WO2006/027018 A1. Another alternative is a razor cartridge 20 that may pivot relative to a second pivot axis (a rocking axis), substantially perpendicular to axis L.
In examples, the pivotable bearing member 8a may be omitted (not illustrated) and the handle 2 provided as an integrally connected part of the support of the razor cartridge 20. In an example, the pivotable bearing member 8a may further comprise, or be replaced by, a release mechanism 5a, 5b, enabling rapid release of an exhausted razor cartridge from the handle 2.
In an example, the handle 2 and the support of the razor cartridge 20 are integrally formed with a pivotable bearing member (not illustrated) such as a plastic spring member.
In an example, the handle 2 is provided with a handle grip 9 formed of a rubber, or rubber-like material to improve gripping friction. In an example, the handle is provided with a thumb-rest to enable a more secure grip of the handle 2 by a user.
The phrase “top of the blade support” for the purposes of this specification means a side of a blade support of a razor cartridge that is closest to a shaving plane SH (skin) of a user when the razor cartridge is in use, as illustrated in
According to a first aspect, there is provided a razor cartridge 20 comprising: three or more substantially parallel cutting members disposed between a leading longitudinal side 24 and a trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge.
Each of the cutting members comprises a blade support comprising a blade mounting portion disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane SH, and a blade attached to the blade mounting portion.
The cutting members are disposed to define a plurality of inter-blade spans between cutting edges 30 of the blades.
A leading inter-blade span that is closest to the leading longitudinal side 24 of the razor cartridge is different to a trailing inter-blade span that is closest to the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge.
In other words, according to different examples, the leading inter-blade span is smaller than, or greater than, the trailing inter-blade span. The following disclosure discusses different examples in which the leading inter-blade span is greater than, or smaller than, the trailing inter-blade span.
The shaving direction S is depicted in
A frame 21 may be fabricated partially or completely of synthetic materials, such as plastic, resin, or elastomers. The frame 21 comprises a platform member 22 connectable to a handle 2 of a shaving razor assembly 1 either integrally, or by a connection mechanism such as a pivotable bearing member 8a or by an interconnecting member (not shown).
A guard member 23 is provided as a substantially longitudinal edge of the razor cartridge 20. In use, the guard member 23 is the first portion of the razor cartridge 20 to contact uncut hairs, and it is thus located at a leading longitudinal side 24 of the razor cartridge 20. The side of the razor cartridge 20 opposite to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge 20 and opposite to the shaving direction is the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge 20. The trailing longitudinal side 25 is thus the final portion of the razor cartridge 20 to contact the shaving plane SH, in use.
It will be noted that the terms “leading longitudinal side 24” and “trailing longitudinal side 25” are used to denote specific locations on the razor cartridge 20, and do not imply or require the absence or presence of a particular feature. For example, a guard member 23 may in one example be located at the “leading longitudinal side 24”, and in another example a trimming blade (not shown in
The guard member 23, in an example, comprises an elastomeric member (not shown in
The razor cartridge 20 may, in embodiments, further comprise a cap member at, or near to, the trailing longitudinal side 25 but this is not illustrated in the embodiment of
The razor cartridge 20 further comprises a group of cutting members 29 accommodated in a blade receiving section 31 of the frame 21. The group of cutting members 29 comprises a plurality of cutting members 28a-d. The group of cutting members 29 is disposed in the frame 21 longitudinally and parallel to the shaving direction SH such that in use, blades of the cutting members 28a-d contact a shaving plane SH and cut hair present on the shaving plane SH as the razor cartridge 20 is moved across the shaving plane SH in the shaving direction S. The particular design of the group cutting members 29 will be discussed in detail subsequently.
In an example, a razor cartridge is provided with three cutting members. In an example, a razor cartridge is provided with four cutting members. In an example, a razor cartridge is provided with five cutting members. In an example, a razor cartridge is provided with six cutting members. In an example, a razor cartridge is provided with seven or more cutting members.
The group of cutting members 29 defines a plurality of substantially parallel inter-blade spans. The number of inter-blade spans is one fewer than the number of cutting members.
The frame 21 further comprises first retainer 26 and second retainer 27 configured to hold the razor blades within razor cartridge 20 housing. The frame 21 further comprises first 16 and second 18 side portions. When the razor cartridge 20 is in an assembled state, the first and second side portions 16, 18 are configured to fixedly confine the longitudinal ends of the guard member 23, a cap member 29 (if present, not shown in
Although not illustrated, a pivotable bearing member 8b may, in an example be provided on the side of the razor cartridge 20 configured to connect to a pivotable handle 2. Such a pivotable bearing member 8b, in an example, comprises two or more shell bearings configured to connect to the pivotable bearing member 8a of the handle 2.
The cutting members comprised in the group of cutting members 29 are disposed in the razor cartridge such that two cutting edges 30 comprised, respectively, on the two foremost (nearest to the leading side of the razor cartridge) cutting members of the group of cutting members 29 define a leading inter-blade span that is closest to the leading longitudinal side 24 of the razor cartridge 20 and that is greater than a trailing inter-blade span defined between the two cutting edges that are closest to the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge in the variant illustrated in
The each cutting member in the group of cutting members 29 comprises a longitudinal blade support 32. A longitudinal blade is mounted on the blade support 32. The cutting edge 30 of a cutting member 28a-d is oriented forward in the direction of shaving S. The blade support 32 of a cutting member 28a-d is an elongated, bent piece of rigid material. In an example, the blade support 32 is a metal such as austenitic stainless steel.
Each cutting member in the group of cutting members 29 is, in an example, resiliently mounted in a blade receiving section 31 of the razor cartridge 20. The blade receiving section 31 comprises a longitudinal space in the razor cartridge 20 that is sized to accommodate the group of cutting members 29. At least one cutting member of the group of cutting members 29, up to all cutting members in the group of cutting members 29 may be resiliently mounted in the blade receiving section 31. In the illustrated example of
Between the blade receiving section 31 and the handle (in a part adjacent to a handle 2 connection, for example) there are, in examples, provided one or more cross members 35 that are integrally formed with the frame 21. The cross members 35 may comprise a plurality of blade support guides 36 provided as a plurality of protuberances aligned with the holding slot 34 on the transverse inner sides of the frame 21. The blade support guides 36 function to regulate the parallel inter-blade span in a longitudinal direction.
As explained above, a razor cartridge 20 according to the first aspect has a variable inter-blade span IBS. Therefore, in the illustrated variant of
The razor cartridge 20 of
In total, the eight resilient fingers each exert a bias force against respective cutting members of the group of cutting members 29 in the direction of the shaving plane SH such that the cutting members of the group of cutting members 29 are in a rest position, when assembled. In the rest position, the cutting edges 30 of the blades 33, at each lateral end of the blades 33 near the first 26 and second 27 retainers, bear against corresponding stop portions, for example In an example, the stop portions may be the first 26 and second 27 retainer.
Accordingly, the rest position of the cutting members 28a-d is well defined, enabling a high shaving precision. Of course, the illustrated biasing arrangement has many variations. For example, a further plurality of resilient fingers may be provided on one or more of the cross members 35. In a simplified razor cartridge design (such as for low cost, disposable razors), the resilient fingers may be omitted. A skilled person will appreciate that the number of resilient fingers 38 to be provided is related to the number of cutting members 28a-d in the group of cutting members 29, and that fewer or more than eight resilient fingers 38 can be provided.
In addition to the features illustrated in partial exploded view
In particular, the longitudinal trailing assembly 49, in examples, comprises a longitudinal skin care element 50 (e.g. a lubricating strip) for applying a compound, such as a lubricating compound, to the shaving plane after the cutting edges 30 of the blades have passed over the shaving plane.
The longitudinal trailing assembly 49, in examples, comprises a longitudinal trimming blade 53 disposed on the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge 20. The trimming blade 53 may, for example, be used for trimming hairs that are awkward to reach using the blades 33 of the group of cutting members 29, such as extraneous nasal hairs. In an example, the trimming blade 53 only extends across a proportion of the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal trailing assembly 49, such as up to three quarters, up to one half, or up to one quarter.
As illustrated, the trimming blade 53 is mounted on a trimming blade support 54. The assembly of the trimming blade 53 mounted on a trimming blade support 54 is, in an example, identical to the design of the blade receiving section 31, blade support 32, and blade 33 comprised in the group of cutting members 29 to reduce parts variation. Alternatively, the trimming blade 53 and trimming blade support 54 are produced to a different design to the design of the blade receiving section 31, blade support 32, and blade 33 comprised in the group of cutting members 29.
For the purposes of this specification, the trimming blade 53 is not comprised within the group of cutting members 29 intended to contact the shaving plane. For the purposes of this specification, an inter-blade span is defined between cutting edges 30a-d of the blades 33a-d of the group of cutting members 29, however a span between a cutting edge 53 of the trimming blade and one of the cutting edges 30a-d of the blades 33a-d of the group of cutting members 29 is not considered to be an inter-blade span.
In an example, the longitudinal trailing assembly 49 comprises a retractable cover 52 as a safety feature, and to keep the trimming blade 53 sharp when not in use.
In common with the frame 21 of the razor, the longitudinal trailing assembly 49 and/or the retractable cover 52 may be provided as a plastic or resin material. In an example the longitudinal trailing assembly 49 is formed integrally with the frame 21. In an example, the longitudinal trailing assembly 49 is glued or ultrasonically welded to the frame 21, for example. In an example, a razor cartridge 21 is provided without a longitudinal trailing assembly 49 such that the trailing edge of the frame 21 in the shaving direction is the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge 20. In an embodiment where the razor cartridge 20 comprises the longitudinal trailing assembly 49, the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the longitudinal trailing assembly 49 in the shaving direction is considered to be the trailing edge of the frame 21 in the shaving direction.
Of course, the provision of a succession of holding slots 34 in the first 26 and second 27 retainers to support the cutting members of the group of cutting members 29 is not essential. The group of cutting members 29 could also be supported using a plurality of blade support guides 36 (protuberances) positioned on one or more cross members 35, for example, where the plurality of blade support guides 36 provide a progressively increasing inter-blade span in the longitudinal direction from the leading longitudinal side 24 to the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge 20. In an example, a plurality of blade support guides 36 and a succession of holding slots 34 may be used in combination to provide progressively increasing span in the longitudinal direction between the leading and the trailing side of the razor cartridge.
A leading blade 33a to frame 21, span 44 is the transverse span (substantially aligned with the shaving direction S) that is perpendicular to the longitudinal orientation of the blades of the group of cutting members 29 that spans the space between the internal leading longitudinal wall of the blade receiving section 55 that is closest to a shaving plane SH in use (the origin) and the cutting edge 30a of the leading blade of the group of cutting members 29.
A leading inter-blade span 40 that is the closest inter-blade span to the leading longitudinal side 24 of the razor cartridge is a transverse span (substantially aligned with the shaving direction S in use) that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal orientation of the blades of the group of cutting members 29. The leading inter-blade span 40 begins at a point on cutting edge 30a and ends on to a corresponding point on the cutting edge 30b of the first intermediate blade 33b.
A first intermediate inter-blade span 41 is a transverse span (substantially aligned with the shaving direction S in use) that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal orientation of the blades of the group of cutting members 29. The first intermediate inter-blade span 41 begins at a point on cutting edge 30b and ends on a corresponding point on the cutting edge 30c of the second intermediate blade 33c.
A trailing inter-blade span 42 is a transverse span (substantially aligned with the shaving direction S in use) that is perpendicular to the longitudinal orientation of the blades of the group of cutting members 29. The trailing inter-blade span 42 begins a point on cutting edge 30c and ends on a corresponding point on the cutting edge 30d of the blade 33d that is closest to the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge 20.
A trailing blade to frame span 45 that is a transverse span (substantially aligned with the shaving direction S in use) that is perpendicular to the longitudinal orientation of the blades of the group of cutting members 29 the cutting edge 30a and a corresponding point on the internal trailing longitudinal wall of blade receiving section 56.
Thus, the total span of the blade receiving section 31 corresponds to the sum of spans 44, 40, 41, 42, and 45. In practice, the total span of the blade receiving section may be in the range of 7 to 15 mm.
As will subsequently be discussed, each blade mounting portion 71 is disposed on an inner surface 66 of a respective blade support 32 that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane SH. The cutting edge 30 extends forward from the front of the blade support 32. However, the blade support 32 has a non-negligible thickness. For example, the blade support 32 has a thickness in the range 0.12 mm-0.21 mm, and more specifically in the range 0.155 mm-0.185, and most specifically 0.17 mm.
Consequently, a non-negligible span defined as the transverse span (substantially aligned with the shaving direction S in use) that is perpendicular to the longitudinal orientation exists between each cutting edge 30 and the blade-mounting end of each blade support 32 of each cutting member of the group of cutting members 29. This may be referred to as a cutting edge to blade span 43 of a respective cutting member. The edge support span may be derived using trigonometry based on the thickness of the blade support 32 and the tilt angle relative to the shaving plane of the blade receiving section 31 of the blade support 32.
In an example, each blade support 32 of the group of cutting members 29 is identical and has the same thickness T2 and the same tilt angle A. In this case, the cutting edge to blade span 43a, 43b, 43c, and 43d are identical.
In an example, one or more of the cutting edge to blade spans 43a, 43b, 43c, and 43d are in the range 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm, and specifically 0.5 mm.
In an example, at least one blade support 32 of the group of cutting members 29 has a different thickness and/or tilt angle to the remainder of the blade supports 32. In this case, at least one a cutting edge to blade span 43a will differ from the remainder. An effect is that individual cutting edge to blade spans 43a-43d may be tuned to provide further fine control over skin bulge effects. For example, the cutting edge to blade span 43a-43d may be designed to progressively increase or decrease. A leading blade to frame span 44 is a transverse span (substantially aligned with the shaving direction S in use) that is perpendicular to the longitudinal orientation of the blades of the group of cutting members 29. The leading blade to frame span begins at a point on the internal leading longitudinal wall 55 that is, in an example, closest to the shaving plane SH. The leading blade to frame span ends at a corresponding point on the cutting edge 30d of the blade 33 of the leading cutting member 28d that is in an example, closest to the shaving plane SH.
In an example the leading frame to blade span 44 is 0.5 mm to 0.9 mm, and specifically 0.7 mm. A trailing blade to frame span 45 is a transverse span (substantially aligned with the shaving direction S in use) that is perpendicular to the longitudinal orientation of the blades of the group of cutting members 29. The trailing blade to frame span begins at a point on the cutting edge 30a of the blade 33a of the trailing cutting member 28a-d. The trailing blade to frame span 45 ends at a corresponding point on the internal trailing longitudinal wall 56 that is, in an example, closest to the shaving plane SH.
In an example, the trailing frame to blade span 45 is 1.6 mm to 2.0 mm, and specifically 1.8 mm. In an example, the leading blade to frame span 44 is greater than the trailing blade to frame span 45. In an example, the leading blade to frame span 44 is smaller than the trailing blade to frame span 45.
In an example, the leading blade to frame span 44 is substantially equal to the trailing blade to frame span 45. In an example, the leading blade to frame span 44 is greater than the leading inter-blade span 40. In an example, the leading blade to frame span 44 is substantially equal to the leading inter-blade span 40. In an example, the leading blade to frame span 44 is smaller than the leading inter-blade span 40. In an example, the trailing blade to frame span 45 is greater than the trailing inter-blade span 42. In an example, the trailing blade to frame span 45 is substantially equal to the trailing inter-blade span 42. In an example, the trailing blade to frame span 45 is smaller than the trailing inter-blade span 42. In an example, the first intermediate inter-blade span 41 and the second intermediate inter-blade span are each substantially equal to the leading inter-blade span 40. In an example, the first intermediate inter-blade span 41 and the second intermediate inter-blade span are each substantially equal to the trailing inter-blade span 42. In an example, the first intermediate inter-blade span 41 is greater than the leading inter-blade span 40 and smaller than the second intermediate inter-blade span.
In an example, the second intermediate inter-blade span is equal to the trailing inter-blade span 42. In an example, a leading inter-blade span that is closest to the leading longitudinal side of the razor cartridge is smaller than a trailing inter-blade span that is closest to the trailing longitudinal side of the razor cartridge.
Design of the size of the leading blade to frame span 44 and/or the trailing blade to frame span 45 is optional. The leading blade to frame span 44 may be larger than, equal to, or smaller than the leading inter-blade span 40. The trailing blade to frame span 45 may be larger than, equal to, or smaller than the trailing inter-blade span 42.
In an example, the leading inter-blade span 40 is smaller than the trailing inter-blade span 42.
In an example, the first intermediate inter-blade span is equal to, or greater than, the leading inter-blade span. In an example, the first intermediate inter-blade span is equal to, or smaller than, the trailing inter-blade span. Although a razor cartridge with four blades 33a-d has been illustrated, the present specification also includes a razor cartridge comprising three blades, or greater than four blades.
For example, five substantially parallel cutting members 28a-d may be disposed in a shaving direction of the razor cartridge 20, wherein a second intermediate inter-blade span is defined adjacent to the trailing inter-blade span 42. In an example, the first intermediate inter-blade span 41 and the second intermediate inter-blade span are each substantially equal to the leading inter-blade span.
In an example, the first intermediate inter-blade span 41 and the second intermediate inter-blade span are each substantially equal to the trailing inter-blade span 42. In an example, the first intermediate inter-blade span is greater than the leading inter-blade span 40 and smaller than the second intermediate inter-blade span. In an example, the second intermediate inter-blade span is equal to the trailing inter-blade span 42. In an example, consecutive inter-blade spans of the razor cartridge successively increase between the leading longitudinal side 24 and the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge in the shaving direction.
In an example, each of the blade supports 32a-d comprises a shaving plane contact portion 58 that is configured, in use, to contact the shaving plane SH in addition to the cutting edges 30 of the blades, thereby reducing the pressure at each cutting edge contact point with the shaving plane. The pressure at the cutting edge contact points may therefore be reduced, compared to a conventional razor head, but glideness performance remains improved.
Turning briefly to
Returning to
Conventionally, a blade is mounted on the outer surface of a blade support, such that in use, no part of the blade support comes into contact with shaving plane SH.
Notably, in the present aspects and embodiments, a blade mounting portion 71 of the blade support 32 is disposed on an inner surface of the respective blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane SH, and a blade attached to the blade mounting portion 71 as shown in
According to the present approach, the blade 33 is mounted on an inner surface of the respective blade support and projects from underneath the inner surface defining a cutting edge to blade span 43 between a cutting edge 30 of the blade 33 and the end of the blade support 32 towards the shaving plane SH. In use, as the cutting member 28 contacts the shaving plane SH, both the cutting edge 30 of the blade 33 and the end of the blade support 32 contact the shaving simultaneously, leading to a reduction in the force exerted on the shaving plane SH exerted by a single cutting edge, for example.
In other words, the position of a blade 33 on a blade support 32 when a cutting member 28a-d is mounted in the razor cartridge is defined by the fact that an imaginary tangent provided from the surface of the blade 33 that is directed away from the shaving plane SH does not pass through any point of the blade support 32 that the blade 33 is mounted on.
A further definition of the position of a blade 33 on the blade support is that when a cutting member 28a-d is mounted in the razor cartridge, an imaginary tangent provided from the portion of the blade 33 in contact with the blade mounting portion 71 that is directed towards the shaving plane SH in use passes through the blade support 32 that the blade 33 is mounted on.
As discussed, the blade support 32 may be made from a flat sheet metal part which is bent before welding of the blade 33 on the inner surface 66 of the blade support 32. The cutting member 28 thus comprises a blade 33 (razor blade).
The blade 33 has, in its flat portion, a thickness T1 about 0.1 mm (for example, between 0.04 and 0.11 mm). The total length L2 of the blade 33 between the cutting edge 30 of the blade 33 and the opposite back edge of the blade 33 is about 1 mm (for example, between 0.8 mm and 1.3 mm). The portion of the blade 33 that is in contact with the inner surface 66 of a blade support that, in use, faces away from a shaving plane SH has a length L1 that is about 0.49 mm +/−0.1 mm long. In this way, a good retention of the blade on the underside of the blade support 32 (the inner surface of the blade support 32) is ensured.
In an example, the height H of the cutting member 28 is between 2.53 mm and 2.63 mm, particularly 2.58 mm.
In an example, the front end 72 of the blade support is rounded or chamfered to improve glideness properties of the cutting member.
In an example, the blade 33 may be positioned on the inner surface 66 of the blade support 32 to adjust the exposure E of the cutting edge 30 positively or negatively compared to the shaving plane SH. The exposure is a measure of how prominently the cutting edge 30 of a blade protrudes above or sinks below the end 72 of its blade support.
In an example, the blade 33 may be positioned to have an exposure relative to the shaving plane SH in the range −80 um to +80 um, specifically an exposure of about −75 um, −65 um, −60 um, −55 um, −50 um, −45 um, −40 um, −35 um, −30 um, −25 um, −20 um, −15 um, −10 um, −5 um, 0 um, 5 um, 10 um, 15 um, 20 um, 25 um, 30 um, 35 um, 40 um, 45 um, 50 um, 55 um, 60 um, 65 um, 70 um, or 75 um.
The length L3 of the cutting member 28, between the cutting edge 30 and the outer face of the lower portion of the blade support 32 is about 1.0 mm (for example, between 0.9 mm and 1.6 mm)
The blade 33 is fixed on the inner surface 66 of the blade support by any known means, such as by laser spot welding. In examples, the blade 33 is fixed on the inner surface 66 of the blade support by a plurality of spot welds (for example, between ten and sixteen spot welds) distributed along the longitudinal dimension of the blade support 32. Each of the spot welds may be performed on the inner face 70 of blade 33. Alternatively, each of the spot welds may be carried out on the outer surface 68 of the blade support 32, or a mixture of the two.
In
Specific measurements of the separation distance ranges inter-blade spans will now be discussed. A skilled person will appreciate that many choices and combinations of inter-blade spans may be made that satisfy the above-discussed features of the razor cartridge 20, and that the following discussion is not limited to the disclosed values.
In an example, the trailing inter blade span 42 is within a range of 1.6 mm to 2.2 mm, 1.70 mm to 2 mm, or 1.75 mm to 1.95 mm.
When three cutting members 28a-c are present, the trailing inter blade spans defined above may still apply, in combination with a leading inter-blade span 40 in a range of 1.6 mm to 2.2 mm, 1.70 mm to 2.00 mm, or within 1.75 mm to 1.95 mm.
When four cutting members 28a-d are present, the leading inter-blade span 40 is in a range of 1.6 mm to 2.2 mm, 1.70 mm to 2.00 mm, or within 1.75 mm to 1.95 mm.
In an example, the trailing inter blade span 42 is within a range of 1.7 mm to 2.2 mm, 1.8 mm to 2.0 mm, or is 1.85 mm.
In an example, the first intermediate inter blade span 41 is within a range of 1.55 mm to 1.95 mm, 1.60 mm to 1.80 mm, or is 1.70 mm.
In an example, the leading inter-blade span 40 is within a range of 1.4 mm to 1.8mm, specifically 1.50 mm to 1.65 mm, or is 1.55 mm.
In an example, the leading blade to frame span 44 is within a range of 0.4-1.0 mm, 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm, or is 0.7 mm.
In an example, the trailing blade to frame span 45 is within a range of 1.7 mm to 2.2 mm, 1.8 mm to 2.0 mm, or is 1.85 mm.
The ranges discussed above are generally increased as compared to conventional razor cartridges. The rinsability of a cartridge as discussed herein is generally improved, because more space is available between the trailing cutting members 28a-d for debris to flow off closer to the trailing edge of the razor cartridge 20. The size of skin bulges is also reduced, resulting in an improved shaving performance.
According to the embodiment in which the leading inter blade span 40 is larger compared to the first intermediate inter blade span 41 or the trailing inter-blade span 42, the first two blades that cut the highest amount of hair are far enough apart to ensure that the debris can be removed easily. Therefore, a safer shaving experience is provided. Providing the blade support “on top” of the blade provides an additional skin-contacting element (as well as the cutting edges 30 of the blades) which supports the skin during shaving.
In an embodiment where the trailing inter blade span 42 is greater than the leading inter blade span 40, consecutive inter-blade spans of the razor cartridge successively decrease between the leading longitudinal side 24 and the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge in the shaving direction.
In an example, any possibly combination of inter-blade spans is possible, provided a leading inter-blade span that is closest (or closer) to the leading longitudinal side 24 of the razor cartridge is smaller than a trailing inter-blade span that is closest (or closer) to the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge.
In another example, the leading inter blade span 40 is within a range of 1.6 mm to 2.2 mm, 1.70 mm to 2 mm, or 1.75 mm to 1.95 mm.
When three cutting members 28a-c are present, the leading inter blade spans defined above may still apply, in combination with a trailing inter-blade span 42 in a range of 1.6 mm to 2.2 mm, 1.70 mm to 2.00 mm, or within 1.75 mm to 1.95 mm.
When four cutting members 28a-d are present, the trailing inter-blade span 42 is in a range of 1.6 mm to 2.2 mm, 1.70 mm to 2.00 mm, or within 1.75 mm to 1.95 mm.
In an example, the leading inter blade span 40 is within a range of 1.7 mm to 2.2 mm, 1.8 mm to 2.0 mm, or is 1.85 mm. In an example, the first intermediate inter blade span 41 is within a range of 1.55 mm to 1.95 mm, 1.60 mm to 1.80 mm, or is 1.70 mm. In an example, the trailing inter-blade span 42 is within a range of 1.4 mm to 1.8mm, specifically 1.50 mm to 1.65 mm, or is 1.55 mm. In an example, the leading blade to frame span 44 is within a range of 0.4-1.0mm, 0.5mm to 0.8mm, or is 0.7 mm. In an example, the trailing blade to frame span 45 is within a range of 1.7 mm to 2.2 mm, 1.8 mm to 2.0 mm, or is 1.85 mm.
However, in this example, any possibly combination of inter-blade spans is possible, provided a leading inter-blade span that is closest (or closer) to the leading longitudinal side 24 of the razor cartridge is smaller than a trailing inter-blade span that is closest (or closer) to the trailing longitudinal side 25 of the razor cartridge.
According to the embodiment in which the leading inter blade span 40 is smaller compared to the first intermediate inter blade span 41 or the trailing inter-blade span 42, the blades towards the front of the razor cartridge 20 accordingly have a narrower IBS, that further reduces the risk of nicks and cuts. Therefore, a safer shaving experience is provided. Providing the blade support “on top” of the blade provides an additional skin-contacting element (as well as the cutting edges 30 of the blades) which supports the skin during shaving. Because frequent shavers do not generate as much debris when shaving, it is not as critical that a large amount of debris needs to be conducted away from the inter-blade gap that is closer to the leading edge of the razor cartridge.
