Definitions

  • This invention relates to a razor according to the preamble of claim 1 (see, for example, US-A-5 337 478).
  • GB-A-690828 there is disclosed a razor with a refillable reservoir which is pressurized by a piston actuated by a spring or a manually operated air pump and GB-A-2075406 describes a razor in which liquid is dispensed from a refillable container by operation of a fluid pump.
  • the fluid is discharged at a position ahead of the blade or blades of the razor as they move across the skin during shaving, such as at the position of the guard of the shaving head which is disposed in advance of the blade or blades.
  • the substance is introduced into the reservoir as a predetermined dose and the razor further comprises a dispensing device for delivering a predetermined dose of substance into the water-filled reservoir, the dispensing device being arranged to hold a plurality of doses and being operable to deliver the doses into the reservoir in turn.
  • the substance is a solid and is supplied in predetermined doses in tablet or capsule form.
  • the dispensing device incorporates a magazine which is adapted to hold several tablets and to dispense the tablets one at a time into the reservoir for mixture with liquid therein.
  • the substance can be chosen so that when mixed with water it will produce a fluid which can have a desired effect when applied to the skin in the course of a shaving procedure or in association with a shaving procedure.
  • the prepared fluid may for example have one or more of the following effects:
  • a gas generating substance can be included so that the substance, when mixed with water, will effervesce.
  • the gas which is generated is preferably inert and carbon dioxide is most preferred as it is harmless and can be easily produced.
  • the gas generator could for example be sodium bicarbonate which generates carbon dioxide gas when dissolved in water.
  • the generation of carbon dioxide can, however, be accelerated by a chemical reaction involving neutralization of a carbonate salt by a weak acid, and the preferred gas generating substance is a mixture of dry solids comprising citric and/or tartaric acid with a carbonate salt including one or more selected from sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate and potassium hydrogen carbonate.
  • Other suitable gas generators will occur to those skilled in the art.
  • the substance which is mixed with water in the reservoir may be a solid substance, in which case it can conveniently be provided in tablet form, or as a powder contained within a soluble capsule.
  • a substance other than a powder can be used and supplied, for example, within a soluble capsule or in a sealed sachet from which the substance is discharged into the reservoir.
  • a razor having a shaving head or blade unit 1 including three blades 2 with parallel cutting edges carried within a frame 3 which also supports guard and cap structures 4,5 defined by elastomeric strips which are each shown to have an array of close-packed cylindrical recesses 6, although other configurations of recesses and/or projections could be provided instead as known in the art.
  • guard and cap structures 4,5 defined by elastomeric strips which are each shown to have an array of close-packed cylindrical recesses 6, although other configurations of recesses and/or projections could be provided instead as known in the art.
  • the cap structure 5 incudes a lubricating strip 12 as known per se and which may be as described in US Patent No. 5113585.
  • the blades 2 can be movable independently of each other against the action of return springs under the forces experienced by the blades during shaving as also known in the art. Further details of spring loaded blades may be found in US Patent No. 4492025. Alternatively, the blades 2 can be fixedly mounted in the frame.
  • the shaving head 1 may be fixedly attached to the remaining parts of the razor with the intention that at least the upper part of the razor be discarded in entirety when the blades 2 have become dulled, or the shaving head 1 could be of the replaceable cartridge type so that the shaving head is merely replaced when the blades 2 have lost their sharpness.
  • the razor includes a refillable reservoir in the form of a container 8 which doubles as the razor handle, this container having a generally flat rectangular form enclosing an interior chamber with an inlet/discharge port 7 defined by a neck 9 (Fig. 7) located at the upper end of the reservoir container and by means of which the container is detachably connected, such as by a screw threaded or bayonet type coupling, to a razor neck 10.
  • a lower part of the razor neck 10 forms a cap for co-operation with the container neck 9, and the upper part of the razor neck carries the shaving head 1.
  • the razor neck 10 is equipped with an elongate dip tube 11 (Figs 5 and 7) which is arranged to extend down through the container neck 9 and substantially to the bottom of the container 8 when it is coupled to the razor neck 10. Further details of the dip tube are described below with reference to Figures 8 and 9.
  • the upper end of the dip tube 11 communicates with a fluid delivery passage 13 which in the embodiment illustrated in Figure 7 is formed by a tube 14, but in the modified embodiment shown in Figure 7A a bore 17 through the razor neck 10 defines part of the fluid delivery passage.
  • the downstream end of the delivery passage 13 is connected to an inlet duct 15 in the shaving head.
  • the inlet duct 15 is formed in a manifold member 16 which is attached to the underside of the frame 3 of the shaving head I and includes a socket 15a to which the end of the tube 14 is fitted and with which the duct 15 communicates.
  • the manifold member 16 extends along the underside of the guard 4, parallel with the blades and adjacent the trailing edge of the guard surface, as can be seen in Figure 4.
  • the delivery manifold 16 defines an interior channel 16a and has spaced along its length a series of holes which are aligned with openings 18 in the guard surface.
  • fluid in the container 1 can be delivered, by means of the dip tube 11, the delivery passage 13, the delivery manifold 16, and the openings 18 to the guard surface, it being the intention that such delivery should occur during the process of shaving with the razor.
  • the delivery tube opens into one of the recesses 6 of the guard strip 5 and in this case there is no manifold member, the tube 14 being connected to an opening in the guard structure.
  • the container 8 is disconnected from the razor neck 10 and is filled with water to a depth that may be indicated by an appropriate marking on the container.
  • a tablet 20 (Fig. 5) of a solid substance which on contact with water effervesces to generate gas, preferably carbon dioxide and with the water forms a fluid having a characteristic which makes it desirable for application to the skin during shaving, is dropped into the container 8 through the neck 9, and the container is then immediately reconnected to the razor neck 10.
  • the preferred gas generating substance comprises a mixture of tartaric acid and/or citric acid with a carbonate, bicarbonate or hydrogen carbonate salt of sodium or potassium.
  • the gas generated by the reaction of the tablet substance with the water causes the pressure within the ullage space above the water in the container to rise, and this pressure forces the prepared fluid produced by the solid substance mixing with the water to flow through the dip tube 11 and to the shaving head following the flow path previously described.
  • the amounts of gas generated and fluid prepared are sufficient for continuous delivery to take place for the time taken to complete a shave with the razor, although it will be appreciated that the amounts of carbon dioxide generating substance will depend on the volume of the container 8 and the amount of water it is intended to be filled with. In one test, however, a container having a capacity of 40ml was filled with 30ml of water.
  • the procedure of filling the container 8 and adding a tablet 20 will be repeated for each shave.
  • the delivery passage could be fitted with a valve to allow the user to control the time of delivery and/or the rate of delivery of prepared fluid to the shaving head 1.
  • the dip tube 11 preferable incorporates a valve arrangement to ensure that prepared fluid is always discharged by the gas pressure.
  • the dip tube 11 has openings 23, 23' adjacent its opposite ends for connecting the inside of the tube with the interior of the container, these openings being controlled by respective ball valves 24, 25.
  • Each of the valves is gravity operated with the ball 24, 25 moving under its own weight between open an closed positions as the container is rotated between upright and inverted orientations.
  • the lower valve 24 is open due to its ball having moved away from the valve seat 24a and the upper valve 25 is closed, due to its ball engaging the valve seat 25a and being held against the seat by the pressure in the container.
  • the valve 25 is opened and the valve 24 is closed.
  • FIGs 10-12 there is illustrated a razor according to the invention which is generally similar to that described above but differs in that the razor neck 10 incorporates a tablet magazine and dispenser 30.
  • the shape of the container 8 is adapted to define a forwardly facing neck opening or port to which the lower part of the razor neck 10 is detachably connectable by any suitable means capable of establishing a sealed connection between the razor neck 10 and the container 8.
  • the lower portion of the razor neck 10 incorporates the tablet magazine and dispenser 30 which includes a cylindrical housing 31 within which there is received a rotary member 32 defining a series of pockets 34, five in number as shown, distributed in a circular array and intended to receive respective tablets of solid substance to be mixed with water within the container 8.
  • a detent system is preferably provided to provide some control over the rotation of the member 32 whereby the pockets 34 are easily presented in turn in position to dispense the tablets contained therein into the container interior.
  • the tablet magazine can be rechargeable to allow the pockets to be refilled with tablets after they have been emptied, or the rotary member could be replaceable to allow an emptied member 32 to be replaced by a similar but fully charged one.
  • the magazine may be adapted to hold a sufficient number of tablets for a number of shaves that the blades of the razor are expected to last for before becoming dulled, and the magazine and razor cartridge may then be discarded and replaced together, possibly as a single unit or a cartridge and magazine assembly.
  • the container 8 is detached from the razor neck 10 and filled to a certain level with water, after which the container 8 and razor neck are reconnected.
  • the rotary member 32 is then turned manually to bring a pocket 34 containing a tablet to a rotational dispensing position whereat the tablet 20 is deposited from the pocket into the container where it mixes with the water for generating gas and producing a prepared fluid to be delivered to the shaving head 1.
  • the fluid is conducted to the guard surface of the shaving head in the same way as described above with respect to the embodiment of Figures 1-9, namely through the dip tube, the delivery passage included in the razor neck, the delivery manifold provided in the shaving head, and the openings 18 at the guard surface.
  • the tablet magazine and dispenser is shown only schematically and it would be arranged so that the container is sealed closed after delivering a tablet into the container, which is necessary to create the gas pressure needed for discharging the prepared fluid in the reservoir container.
  • a valve could be included in the fluid passage 13 between the container 8 and shaving head I to allow the user to control when and/or the rate at which fluid is to be supplied to the shaving head.
