Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a razor which supports a razor head and, more particularly, to a razor which permits a razor head to swivel and pivot relative to a shaving stroke.
- Shaving systems have been proposed which provide a razor head having a housing with relatively movable skin engaging elements, including a guard element, one or more blades and a cap member. It has also been suggested to provide various degrees of movement of the entire razor head relative to the razor which supports the razor head.
- the various embodiments of the present invention are directed to improvements in razors which permit a razor head to swivel and pivot in response to forces encountered during shaving.
- 5,535,518 discloses a four bar linkage system which allows pivoting and swivelling, but does not show springs or biasing elements for returning the razor head to a neutral position after the removal of shaving forces.
- the present invention is directed to improvements to shaving systems which allow a razor head to swivel and pivot relative to a razor during shaving.
- a razor as defined in Claim 1.
- a shaving system as defined in Claim 2.
- a razor as defined in Claim 4.
- a razor as defined in Claim 15.
- Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to razors adapted to support a razor head during shaving while permitting the razor head to move relative to the razor in response to forces encountered during shaving.
- the various embodiments described herein allow a razor head to swivel and also to pivot about an axis normal to a central axis of the razor and normal to an imaginary axis defined by the points of attachment of the razor to a razor head.
- Preferred embodiments of the present invention restrict the movement of the engagement arms of a razor head to paths substantially parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the operative part of the razor. In this manner, no lateral component of blade movement is permitted along an axis defined by the engagement points of the engagement arms.
- the engagement arms are also preferably restricted to movement within a single plane.
- the various embodiments provide shaving systems with improved blade-to-skin contact independent of wrist movement, while simultaneously reducing the amount of lateral movement of the razor head relative to the shaving path.
- the term "razor head” is meant to include cartridges adapted to be connected to a separate razor as well as the operative cutting portion of a disposable razor wherein the handle and cutting portion are formed as a single unit.
- razors are provided with a plunger for returning a swivelling razor head to a predetermined position when shaving forces have been removed, a pair of engagement arms for providing pivoting motion, and an actuator for moving the engagement portions of the engagement arms closer together for loading and unloading a razor head.
- a first biasing member e.g. a coil spring
- a second biasing member e.g. a torsion spring
- both the first biasing member and the second biasing member urge the actuator rearwardly to the "at rest” position.
- Figure 1 is a top perspective view with sections removed of one embodiment of the present invention.
- Figures 2A and 2B collectively show an exploded bottom view of the razor shown in Figure 1.
- Figures 3-5 are top views showing the engagement arms of the razor shown in Figure 1 in various positions.
- Figure 1 is a top view of one razor of the present invention with sections removed. This illustrated embodiment is designed to engage a razor head (not shown) with a pair of engagement arms 10a, 10b which permit the razor head to swivel and pivot relative to the razor in response to forces encountered during shaving.
- the illustrated razor head of the present invention comprises a pair of engagement arms 10, a plunger 30, an actuator 50, a compression spring 60, a torsion spring 65, a top cover 70, a base 80, and a slidable cross beam 90.
- the fork members (engagement arms 10) are pivotally connected to the cross beam 90 and slidably guided by the base 80 and top cover 70.
- the plunger 30 is provided to return a razor head which has swivelled to a predetermined position while the engagement arms are also biased to return the razor head to a predetermined position, preferably normal to the central longitudinal axis of the razor, after shaving forces have been removed.
- the engagement arms 10 comprise engagement pins 12 adapted to be received within recesses of a razor head in a manner which permits the razor head to swivel about an axis substantially parallel to an imaginary axis defined by pins 12.
- the plunger 30 comprises a plunger base 35 having a pair of opposing slots 37 adapted to slidingly receive the sidewalls 75 of a cut out in top cover 70. Slots 37 in plunger base 35 thereby guide plunger 30 forwardly and rearwardly relative to cover 70 along a central longitudinal axis L of the razor. (See Fig.1)
- the forward portion of plunger 30 which engages a ramped surface of a razor head extends through an opening 72 of cover 70.
- Rearward movement of the plunger relative to cover 70 can be limited by a pair of detents (not shown).
- Plunger 30 is forwardly biased and comprises a pin 33 which engages the forward end of coil spring 60.
- the rearward end of coil spring 60 engages a pin 53 of actuator 50.
- This arrangement advantageously utilizes a single coil spring to provide forward biasing forces on plunger 30 and rearward biasing forces on an actuator 50 described in further detail below.
- the razors of the present invention advantageously permit pivoting of the entire razor head on the razor.
- the term “pivoting” is used to define movement of the razor head about an imaginary axis normal to an axis defined by pins 12 of engagement arms 10 and also normal to a central, longitudinal axis L of the razor defined by the forward-rearward movement of plunger 30.
- pivoting of a razor head is distinguished from the "rocking" motion of previously suggested systems which included a lateral component relative to the direction of the shaving stroke.
- the engagement arms are maintained in a path which is substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis L of the razor by guide walls of the top cover 70 and base 80 which slidingly engage sidewalls of the engagement members.
- a first pair of outer, guide walls 74 of top cover 70 engage rear outer sidewalls 14 of engagement arms 10.
- a pair of downwardly depending ridges 86 of bottom cover 80 slidingly engage rear inner sidewalls 16 of engagement arms 10.
- the outer surfaces of abutments 77 of top cover 70 slidingly engage the inner, forward surfaces 17 of engagement arms 10. Therefore, engagement arms 10 are guided forwardly and rearwardly along paths substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis L of the razor within their range of motion experienced during shaving.
- the forward portions of cover sidewalls 74 are each provided with inwardly sloping cam surfaces 78 and the engagement arms are also each provided with corresponding cam surfaces 18.
- the cam surfaces 18 provided on the outer sidewalls of the engagement arms 10 engage the inwardly sloping cam surfaces 78 of side wall 74 while sloped recesses 19 on the inner sidewalls of the engagement arms permit the engagement arms to move inwardly when moved sufficiently forward to align with the abutments 77. Therefore, when engagement arms 10 are advanced forwardly relative to cover 70 to a point where cam surfaces 78 engage cam surfaces 18 of attachment arms 10, the attachments arms pivot inwardly reducing the space between opposing pins 12 to facilitate loading/unloading of a razor head.
- the advancement of the engagement arms 10 is selectively performed by simply advancing an actuator button (shown in phantom in Fig. 1) provided on the top of the razor.
- the actuator button securely engages a recess 51 of actuator 50 which, in turn, engages the cross beam 90 which, in turn, engages the engagement arms 10.
- a pin 55 of actuator 50 passes through a torsion spring 65 and into a pivot recess 91 in cross beam 90.
- the bottom of cross beam 90 is provided with a pair of laterally spaced pins 93 which are received within elongated pivoting recesses 13 of the engagement arms 10.
- actuator 50 will cause the advancement of cross beam 90 and the advancement of the engagement arms 10 to a point where they will be moved together by cam surfaces 78.
- the engagement arms 10 are returned to the retracted, spread-apart position by the cooperation of two biasing members in this illustrated embodiment.
- Coil spring 60 positioned between plunger 30 and actuator 50 urges the actuator 50 rearwardly.
- torsion spring 65 which is positioned over actuator pin 55 and engages the rearward ends of sidewall 74 supplies additional rearwardly directed biasing force on actuator 50 in order to return the engagement arms to the "at rest" position.
- torsion spring 65 As shown in Figs. 1, 2A and 2B the linear segments of torsion spring 65 are also positioned in contact with or very close proximity to pins 93 of cross beam 90. Therefore, when one of the engagement arms is urged rearwardly during shaving causing the cross beam 90 to pivot about pivot recess 91, the pin 93 on that side of the cross beam 90 which moves rearwardly will engage the corresponding linear segment of torsion spring 65. When the shaving force is removed, torsion spring 65 will return cross beam 90 to its equilibrium position, thereby restoring engagement arms 10 to their "at rest" position.
- Figure 5 illustrates the razor with both engagement arms positioned forwardly, having been advanced by advancing the actuator button thereby drawing the engagement portions of the engagement arms inwardly for loading or unloading a razor head
