Description
EZAZOR CARTfZIDGE WITH METAL CLIP RIrTAINING BLADES
The invention relates to razor cartridges having blades retained by metal clips.
In one type of movable-blade razor cartridge design, as shown for S example in U.S. Patent No. 4,378,634, blades can move up and down in slots in a cartridge housing against resilient arms during shaving. IVIetai c.iips on the housing retain the blades in the slots and determine the positions of tlac cutting edges of the blades in the at-rest position. In manufacture, the blades are first loaded into the housing; then a U-shaped clip is positioned over the housing and blades. and the legs of the clip are bent around tire bottom of the housing.
In one aspect, the invention features. in general. a razor cartridge including a housing, blades mounted on the housing, and. a metallic retaining clip that wraps around the housing and retains the blades on the housing. The housing has a fulcrum portion that extends outward beyond adjacent surface portions of the housing I S on two sides of the fulcrum portion, and the retaining clip is bent over the fulcrum portion beyond the elastic limit of the clip.
Certain implementations of the invention include one or more of the following features. In certain implementations there is a fulcrum portion for each of the two ends of the clip. The fulcrum portion tapers and has a blunt upper surface.
The fulcrum portion is deformed and reduced in height 'by pressure applied to the fulcrum portion during bending of the clip over the fulcrum portion. The clip has a notch that is aligned with a notch post on the housing, and the clip bends at the fulcrum at a narrowed portion of the clip adjacent to the notch. The housing has a raised edge adjacent to an edge of the clip that positions the clip on the housing_ The ~S blades are movably mounted in slots in the housing. The blades are mounted on a top portion of the housing, and the ends of the clip are located at a bottom portion of the housing. The housing is recessed adjacent to the ends of the clip to receive the end portions of the clip during bending.
in another aspect, the invention features, in general a razor cartridge including a housing, blades mounted on the housing and a retaining clip. The housing has a wedge portion that extends outward beyond an adjacent portion and makes an interference fit with an end of the clip so as eo facilitate retaining the clip on the housing.
In certain implementations, the housing has a raised edge adjacent to an edge of the clip that positions the clip on the housing, and the wedge portion extends sideways from the raised edge. The wedge portion has an angled surface at the interference fit, and the end portion of the clip has a mating angled surface.
A portion of the wedge portion overlies a portion of the clip at the interference fit.
In other aspects the invention features housings as already described for use in razor cartridges and methods of assembling razor cartridges using the housings and clips as already described.
Embodiments of the invention may have one or more. of the following advantages. The use of fulcrum portions and wedge portions permits longer clips to be used and thicker clip material to be used without having the ~;nd portions of the clips spring back to too large an extent after forming. The longer and thicker clips facilitate use on cartridge housings chat have been made wider in order to accommodate a third blade.
Other advantages and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiment thereof and from the claims.

Referring to Fig. 1, shaving razor 10 includes handle 12 and replaceable shaving cartridge 14. Cartridge 14 includes molded plastic housing I6, which carries three blades 18, guard 20 and cap 22. Cartridge 14 also includes plastic interconnect member 24 on which housing 16 is pivotally mounted. Interconnect member 24 removably and fixedly attaches to handle 12 and has two acme 26 that pivotally support,housing 16 at its two sides. Cartridge 14 is shown in its spring-biased, upward position in Fig. 1.
Referring to Fig. 2, housing 16 of cartridge 14 has inwardly facing slots 28 in side walls 30 for receiving the ends of base portions 32 of blades 18. Housing 16 also has respective pairs of resilient arnns 36 on which each blade 18 is resiliently supported. Blades 18 are located in a substantially unobstructed region 38 between side walls 30 to provide for ease of rinsing of the cartridge during use.
Cap 22 provides a lubricous shaving aid and is received in slot 40 at the rear of housing I6. Cap 22 may be made of a material comprising a mixture of a hydrophobic material and a water teachable hydrophilic polymer material, as is known in the art and is described, e.g., in U.S. Patents Nos. 5,113,585 and 5,454,164. Guard 20 includes a finned elastomeric unit molded on the front of housing 16 to engage and stretch the user's skin; other skin engaging protrusions, e.g., as described in U. S. Patent No. 5,191,712, can be used.
Metal clips 42 are sect~.red at the respective sides of housing 16 inside of raised edges 44 of side walls 30 in order to retain blades 18 within housing 16 and to Iocate the cutting edges of spring-biased blades 18 at a desired exposure when in the at-rest position. Clips 42 also wrap around the bottom of housing I6 and prevent the removal of the ends of arms 26 of interconnect member 24. Clips 42 are made of O.OIB" thick aluminum material, which is thicker than the material used in the clips of the blade unit of the commercial embodiment of the type of design described in the above-mentioned U.S. Patent No. 4,378,634.
In addition, the arms of the clips that are bent around the bottom of housing 16 are both longer than those employed in the commercial embodiment of the type of design described in the above-mentioned patent, because there are three blades (instead of two) and the housing thus is wider.
-rhe thicker material and the longer arms to be bent cause the arms to tend to elastically return to a larger extent after forces bending the clips around the housing have been released. Housing 16 includes certain features (described below) to maintain the thicker, longer clips in a desired final position.
Referring to Fig. 3, it is seen toat the end portions 5U of clips 42 have notches S2 that are aligned with notch posts S4 (see also Fig. 4) of housing 14. It is also seen that housing 16 has wedge portions S6 that extend in from raised edges 44 and have angled surfaces 58 that contact angled surfaces 60 of end portions SO
of clips 42. Wedge portions 56 (see also Fig. 4) and the contacting surfaces 60 of clips 42 make an interference ftt in order to help retain the ends of clips 42 on housing 16.
Referring to Figs. 4 and 5, it is seen that housing 16 las fulcrums 62 that extend outward beyond the adjacent sur#ace portions of housing 16 on both sides of fulcrums 62. As shown in Fig. 5. fulcrums 62 have a semicircular cross-section and therefore are tapered and have a blunt upper surface.
In manufacture, blades 18 are located on housing l6 by inserting the ends of base portions 32 in slots 28 and depressing the blades downward against resilient arms 36. Prior to assembly, retaining clips 42 are U-shaped. and the portion of the U that joins the two legs has the same contour as the upper portion of housing 16 within raised edges 44. The upper portions of the preassembled clips 42 thus have the same shape of the upper portions of clips 42 as shown in Fig. 2. Prior to assembly, the two legs of the U-shaped clip (which legs correspond to portions 66, 68 in Fig. 2) are directed straight downward and parallel ~o each other_ and leg 66 is shorter than leg 68.
The elip/housing/blade assembly (with the upper portion of clips 42 seated on housing 16 inside of raised hedges 44) is directed downward against forming die 100 shown in Fig. 6. Surfaces 102, 104 of die 100 deflect legs 66 and 68 inward as the housing/biade/clip assembly is brought closer to die 100. This causes the legs 66, 68 of clip 42 to initially bend around the bottom of housing 16 to the position shown in Fig. 7. At this stage in the forming process, the end portions SU of legs 66, 68 have just made initial contact with fulcrums 62. (In Figs. 7-10. the base portions - J -32 of blades 18 and the ends of arms 26 are not shown on housing 16. though they are present during these stages of the manufacturing process and in the final assembly.) Referring to Fig. 8, with further advancement of the housinglblade/clip assembly toward die 100, the end portions 50 of the clips 42 tend to bend around fulcrums 62 at regions nearby notches 52 where clips 42 are thinner.
Simultaneously with bending of clips 42 around fulcrums b2, fulcrums 62 begin to be crushed from the resulting forces, and the crushed material of fulcrums 62 is directed toward recess 72. At the same time, angled surfaces 60 of clips 42 move past angled surfaces 58 of wedge portions 56 (Fig. 3), and notches 52 begin to pass over notch-posts j4 (Figs. 3, 4).
Referring to Fig. 9, further advancemene of the housing/blade/clip assembly toward the forming die causes the ends 70 of the clips to contact the bottom of recess 72 of housing 16 in the position of their most deflected travel. At this point, fulcrums 62 have been crushed flat, with displaced material in recess 72. and ends 50 I S have been permanently bent beyond the elastic limit of the clip material at the regions of the clips oe~erlying fulcrums 62. At the same time. angled surfaces 60 of clips 42 travel further over angled surfaces 5$ of wedge portions 56 (Fig. 3), and the tops of wedge portions 56 are deformed (i.e., swaged) by projection 106 of forming die 100, causing displaced wedge material to slightly overly the ends of clips 42 and to create an interference fit that exerts a normal spring force against wedge portions 56.
When the housing/bladelclip assembly is removed from forming die 100, the ends 50 tend to elastically return slightly to the position shown in Figs.
10 and I l, though such movement is inhibited by the swaged plastic of wedges 56.
The interference fit between angled clip surfaces 60 and angled wedge surfaces 58 and the overlying swaged material (as shown in Fig. 11 ) tend to hold the ends of the clips 42 in place and to inhibit them from moving outward from housing 16. Also, notches 52 of clips 42 receive notch poses ~4, causing end portions SO of clips 42 to be captured between projections 42 and wedge portion surfaces ~8 and to inhibit clip 42 from opening up during use, e.g., when the cartridge is subjected to excessive forces as might arise when the cartridge is dropped.

Referring to Fig. 3, it is seen toat the end portions 5U of clips 42 have notches S2 that are aligned with notch posts S4 (see also Fig. 4) of housing 14. It is also seen that housing 16 has wedge portions S6 that extend in from raised edges 44 and have angled surfaces 58 that contact angled surfaces 60 of end portions SO
of clips 42. Wedge portions 56 (see also Fig. 4) and the contacting surfaces 60 of clips 42 make an interference ftt in order to help retain the ends of clips 42 on housing 16.
Referring to Figs. 4 and 5, it is seen that housing 16 las fulcrums 62 that extend outward beyond the adjacent sur#ace portions of housing 16 on both sides of fulcrums 62. As shown in Fig. 5. fulcrums 62 have a semicircular cross-section and therefore are tapered and have a blunt upper surface.
