Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wet shaver with an elongated handle and a razor blade unit to be attached to the handle by means of a fastening mechanism.
  • a razor blade unit is attached to an essentially elongated handle, usually at one of its ends, by means of a fastening mechanism.
  • Such razor blade units consist in a known manner from a plastic body in which a single razor blade or a double razor blade is embedded. If double razor blades are used, the cutting edges of the two razor blades are offset from one another.
  • Corresponding razor blade units are also known from EP 0 307 710, in which the plastic body, together with the razor blades, is wrapped with a wire having a plurality of helical turns lying next to one another and the wire is at least partially guided in grooves formed in the plastic body. With such newer razor blade units, undesirable skin injuries can be avoided and better shaving results can be achieved.
  • the razor blade units which are themselves elongated bodies represent, placed on an end edge of a handle such that the longitudinal axis of the handle and the longitudinal axis of the razor blade unit intersect perpendicularly.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a wet shave razor, which is in particular more suitable for shaving body surfaces. Furthermore, a razor blade unit that is particularly suitable for a razor according to the invention is to be specified.
  • the invention proposes that the razor blade unit is attached to the handle in such a way that the razor blade cutting edges run essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the handle.
  • Essentially parallel also includes angular deviations from the longitudinal direction of the handle.
  • the razor blade cutting edges are therefore no longer located transversely on an upper edge of the handle, but, for example, laterally on the handle and parallel to its longitudinal direction. Even with a cranked design of the holder, the cutting edges thus run essentially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the holder.
  • the wet razor according to the invention can thus be guided easily and at the desired inclination over the body surfaces to be shaved at any parts of the body.
  • conventional razor blade units are used, the operator is determined to operate the wet shaver in only one direction or with only one hand. Because conventional razor blade units have razor blade cutting edges on one side have, which are aligned only in one direction, the operator may have difficulty shaving uncomfortable parts of the body or after grasping accordingly.
  • razor blade units which have a fastening device for fastening to the handle on one side, and razor blades with cutting edges on the two longitudinal sides lying against this side.
  • the razor blade units should therefore have a double design on two opposite sides. It has proven particularly advantageous to use a razor blade unit in the form of a roof profile, in which the push-in or push-on device is arranged on the inside or on the underside and the razor blades are fastened on the two longitudinal sides parallel to the longitudinal axis.
  • the operator is thus provided with a wet shaving apparatus, with which a shave can be carried out with both hands and in a variety of body areas in a wide variety of directions.
  • the wet shaver 1 shown in Fig. 1 consists of an elongated handle 2 and a razor blade unit 3.
  • the razor blade unit 3 is attached to the handle 2 such that the razor blade cutting edges 4 of the razor blade 5 run parallel to the longitudinal direction of the handle 2.
  • the handle 2 has an essentially elliptical, ergonomically shaped handle part 6, which is provided on its front with an easy-to-grip surface structure 7.
  • the handle has a recess 8 in its front part, in which a guide rail 9 for receiving a razor blade unit 3 is arranged.
  • This guide rail 9 has, for example, a cross section as shown in FIG. 4.
  • a latching cam 10 On the guide rail shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 for fastening the razor blade unit there is a latching cam 10, on which the razor blade unit 3 is locked after being pushed on and can therefore only be removed from the guide rail by a corresponding pull.
  • an ejection button 11 which, when it is moved forward with the thumb of one hand, for example, pushes an attached razor blade unit 3 out of the recess 8 from the guide rail 9 via the latching cams 10.
  • FIG. 5 An embodiment of a new razor blade unit for a wet shaver according to the invention is shown in FIG. 5.
  • This razor blade unit consists of a plastic body 20 which is elongated and has an essentially rectangular cross section. On each side of the plastic body 20, two razor blades 5 are placed with a spacer 21 in between. The plastic body 20 is then wrapped together with the razor blades 5 and the intermediate pieces 21 by means of a wire 22, which forms helical turns that run at a distance from one another. The blade unit 23 thus formed is inserted into a roof-shaped cap 24, whereby a complete blade unit is formed.
  • the plastic body can have notches 25 on its front edge.
  • the underside 26 of the plastic body and the undersides of the side parts 27 of the cap 24 are designed so that the blade unit can be placed on a corresponding guide, for example the guide rail 9 according to FIGS. 2 to 4.
  • the blade unit formed in this way can be provided in a so-called dispenser, the outer shape of which essentially corresponds to the roof shape of the blade unit formed with an oversize, and in which the blade unit can be pushed in laterally. This enables the blade unit to be removed from the dispenser practically with one hand by pushing it onto the guide rail.
