Abstract

Presently, men's shaving cartridges come in one regular size with two blades on each. However, this size is not practical for shaving the delicate and parts of a man's face, such as the mustache and sideburn regions. Thus, in this proposed invention the shaving cartridges will have two different sizes of shaving cartridges, each with one or two blades, attached to a connecting middle cartridge at an inclined angle to facilitate shaving. Further, the handle used to attach the cartridges will no longer be inclined at the attachment edge and use the traditional methods of attachment. The improved straight handle will be placed and fixed within each new cartridge's middle connecting cartridge. using a rotation type of installment procedure.

Specificdtion This illvention relates to the modern sh~ving systems k~r mell which COllSiS~ of a handle a?ld sll~vtllg cat~ridge with the blades. The invention discussed ill1rod~lces a ne~T~
cartrtdge ~ h its own handle for attacl ment i~he presen~ shaving cartridges are c)f one size, witl~ olle ol two moullted hlades, attacl~ed to a llandle witll an inclined attachment e~ge. The cartridges are incon~enient to use f~r plaGes such as the mustache and side burns due eo their size, usually leading th~
user to cut himself and risk in~ection. As ~ ell, the handles attach to the cartridges using mech~nism~ that require the handles ~e placed in position so that the connecting pies~es move into place and are removed by pressing on a release mechanism hutton The attachment procedure of present handles is too problematic since it is complex to use and easily dall~aged.

The invention proposes a new cartridge be used with two sizes of cartridges be attached to the middle connecting piece at an inclination. The cal~idge will h~ve a short and long cartridge attached at an inclined angle to the middle connecting pie&e. Thus, a man can shave his beard using the long side for the accessible areas and just turn the handle around and use the shorter cartridge for the mustache and other dit'~lcult areas.
The new cartridge will be attached to a handle that attaches to the middle cormecting pieces, by being placed in its opening. Subsequently, the user needs to rotate the handle clock wise to fix it in place or counterc~ockwise to remove it. Thus, the new handle is easier to install and is more reliable for long teml use compared to other used mech~ni~m~.

The following embodiments illustrate the invention: Figure 1 is the front elevation view~ Figure 2 is the side cross sectional cartridge view within handle placement space, Figure 3 is the top rear plan view of the comlecting mechanism~ Figure 4 is the side cross sectional view of cartridge in the region outside handle space ~Section B-B), Figure 5 is the 3 - Dimensional cross section of Small and Large cartridge ~Section C-C~ Figure 6 is the plane cross section of Small and Large cartridge with blade arrangement and Figure 7 is the side elevation of the entire cartridge.

The cartridge proposed in thi~ invention can be seen in ~Fig.l~. The smaller ca~tridge (2) and the larger cartridge (3), will be inclilled at 60~ to the axis of the middle cartridge~ seen in ~:Fig.2). Each inclined side cartridge will have either one or two blades, the length of which will be proportional to the cartridges size since they shall extend (~ 3 '7 from edge to edge. The handle will be square in cross section. The handle's head, top com1eGting part, will have protruding side rectangular boxes (5a~ along the length of two opposlte sides only, as seen in (Fig.2). The handle will be rotated so that the protludillg boxes come under the hollow part of the middle cartridge (1), referring to the dotted portion (7~ in (Fig. 3~. Further~ from ~Fig.3~ it can be seen that the handle can't ~e removed without turning counterclockwise. The dotted position (7) Gan not ~e passed by more clockwise turning due to the presence of the Position Walls (8) and ~). Th~
Position Walls ~8~ and (~ prevenls fiurther tumillg, it consists of a r~ctangula~ box extending from across the thickl1ess of the middle &om~ecti1lg cal~ridge (1), seel1 in (Fig.
4). The middle cartridge~1~ shall be hollow on the interior except t'or the Position Walls 18) and (g), seen in (Fig. 4). Within each shaving cartrid~e the blades have a Blade Embedded Bends ~12~, whiGh are at g0~ to the blades ~4} and on either end. The Blade Embedded E~ends (12) of each blade (4~ will ~lt into both sides of the middle ca~tridge tixing the blades into place, illustrated in (Fig. 5).The Blade Embedded End shall extend along the entire width of the shaving cartridges (2&3)~ seen in (Fig.7). The blades shall be mounted on Flexible Plastic Arches (11) that shall allow vertical movement, seen in IFi~. 4 & 5).

Claims

1) The SLIK system has a unique double shaving cartridge, which means that it has two shaving cartridges with different or same dimensions attached at an inclined angle to the longitudinal axis of the middle connecting piece.

2) The attached shaving cartridges of different sizes will consist of a smaller inclined cartridge, which has all the same dimensions as the longer cartridge except for having a different longitudinal length dimension.

3) The cartridges will be attached at different inclinations to the connecting piece, whereby the entire cartridge with all three piece will be produced as a whole or in separate with appropriate assemblage, depending on industrial and economic capability and government requirements for such production.

4) The inclined cartridge will have the same interior blade system, where the each blade is rested upon an extended plastic arch capable of movement up and down perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cartridge and with some tilting capacity.

5) The two inclined cartridges will have interior arches, exterior casings and other pieces made of plastic or polymer based products or other government required or acceptable materials.

6) The blades will be made of metallic based or other government required or acceptable materials, will satisfy all requirements concerning their sharpness along their protruding length.

7) The connecting piece between the two cartridges will be made of plastic or polymer based products or other government required or acceptable materials.

8) The handle will be a separate piece of the shaving system with the described turning system attachment procedure, where by it can only be turned in one different direction to attach or disconnect from the middle hollow connecting piece of the described cartridge.

9) The entire cartridge will be made of any plastic based, polymer based or other acceptable material in accordance to government industry standards of required or acceptable materials.
