Definitions

  • This invention relates to a shaving aid strip (or composite) for a razor cartridge.
  • the shaving aid strip generally comprises a water-insoluble polymer matrix, typically polystyrene, and a water-soluble shaving aid, typically polyethylene oxide, which leaches out of the composite during shaving to enhance shave comfort.
  • conventional shaving aid strips suffer from the disadvantage that they release an insufficient amount of the shaving aid, particularly after the first four or five shaves where release of the shaving aid may drop off to negligible quantities.
  • the amount of shaving aid that may be included in the shaving aid strip may be limited because high levels of shaving aid are difficult to process and can adversely affect the structural integrity of the strip. Accordingly, recent efforts have been made to improve shaving aid strips so as to enhance and prolong release of the shaving aid.
  • improved shaving aid strips which include the following features: incorporation of a low molecular weight release enhancing agent, such as polyethylene glycol, into the matrix (U.S. 5,113,585); the use of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer as the matrix material (U.S. 5,349,750); incorporation of a compatibilizer material such as polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide copolymer (e.g. Poloxamer 182) (U.S. 5,454,164); incorporation of a water-swellable polymer such as Salsorb 84, a cross-linked polyacrylic (U.S.
  • a compatibilizer material such as polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide copolymer (e.g. Poloxamer 182) (U.S. 5,454,164)
  • a water-swellable polymer such as Salsorb 84, a cross-linked polyacrylic (U.S.
  • the present invention is directed to a razor cartridge with a solid polymeric shaving aid strip.
  • the razor cartridge has a blade (one or more) and a skin engaging portion in proximity to the blade.
  • the skin-engaging portion includes a solid polymeric shaving aid strip having an upper exposed surface which contacts the skin during shaving.
  • the shaving aid strip includes a first exposed lengthwise extending portion containing a lubricous water-soluble polymer and an adjacent, second exposed lengthwise-extending portion containing a lubricous water-soluble polymer.
  • the first portion contains a greater amount of the lubricous water-soluble polymer than the second portion, and the first portion is adapted to wear at a faster rate than the second portion during shaving. This construction enables the strip to release more of the lubricous water-soluble polymer for a longer time period (i.e., for more shaves) than conventional shaving aid strips.
  • the shaving aid strip is typically located at the rear (or cap) portion of the cartridge (i.e. behind the blade or blades), but may also be located at the front (or guard) portion of the cartridge (i.e., in front of the blade or blades), or a shaving aid strip may be placed at both positions on the cartridge.
  • the razor cartridge is generally affixed to a handle for use in shaving.
  • the razor cartridge may be designed to be removably affixed to a handle in the case of razor systems in which the handle is reused and the cartridge is disposed of after one or more uses.
  • the razor cartridge may be permanently affixed to a handle (or integral with the handle) in the case of disposable razors in which the handle and cartridge are disposed of together as a unit after one or more uses.
  • the term razor cartridge is thus intended to apply to both types of cartridge.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a razor cartridge which includes a shaving aid strip of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the shaving aid strip included in the razor cartridge depicted in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 4 is a side elevation view of the shaving aid strip of Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 5 is a sectional view of a razor cartridge identical to Fig. 2, but depicting a second embodiment of the shaving aid strip of the present invention.
  • Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the shaving aid strip depicted in Fig. 5.
  • Fig. 7 is a side elevation view of the shaving aid strip of Fig. 6.
  • the razor cartridge 14 includes housing 16, which carries three blades 18, a finned elastomeric guard 20, and a solid polymeric shaving aid strip 22 (or 22') located on a skin-engaging portion (in this case the cap) of the cartridge.
  • the shaving aid strip (or composite) is locked in an opening in the rear of the cartridge and includes a lubricous water-soluble polymer shaving aid that is released by the strip during shaving to improve shave attributes.
  • the shaving aid strip may be located at any skin-engaging portion of the cartridge and may be fabricated in any size or shape deemed appropriate.
  • the strip can be incorporated into razor cartridges such as the Mach 3®, Sensor Excel®, Atra Plus® and Custom Plus® razors sold by The Gillette Company, as well as in other commercial razor cartridges.
  • shaving aid strip 22 includes a first exposed lengthwise-extending portion 24 and an adjacent, second exposed lengthwise-extending portion 26, each portion being approximately in the shape of a rounded lobe with a lengthwise-extending exposed surface.
  • Second portion 26 preferably extends at least partially under first portion 24 and provides support for first portion 24. The boundary between first portion 24 and second portion 26 may approximate an inclined plane as shown.
  • Strip 22 also includes connecting portion 28, which extends below portions 24 and 26 and also optionally serves to lock the strip into a mating receiving portion of the cartridge. Second portion 26 and connecting portion 28 preferably have the same composition.
  • the upper surface of first portion 24 preferably comprises about 55% to about 85%, more preferably about 60% to 80%, of the surface area of the upper surface of the shaving aid strip.
  • first portion 24 preferably extends slightly above the uppermost surface of second portion 26. It is also preferred that first portion 24 comprises a greater amount (in percent by weight) of shaving aid than second portion 26.
  • the shaving aid strip typically may be about 2.5 cm to about 3.7 cm in length, and about 0.15 cm to about 0.35 cm in width.
  • shaving aid strip 22' includes a first exposed lengthwise-extending portion 24' and an adjacent, second exposed lengthwise-extending portion 26', each portion being approximately in the shape of a rounded lobe with a lengthwise-extending exposed surface.
  • Second portion 26' extends substantially under first portion 24' and provides support for first portion 24'.
  • the boundary between first portion 24' and second portion 26' is curvilinear (approximately S-shaped) as shown. Of course, the boundary may also be arcuate, either convex or concave.
  • Strip 22' also includes connecting portion 28', which extends below portions 24' and 26' and also optionally serves to lock the strip into a mating receiving portion of the cartridge.
  • Second portion 26' and connecting portion 28' preferably have the same composition.
  • the upper surface of first portion 24' preferably comprises about 55% to about 85%, more preferably about 60% to 80%, of the surface area of the upper surface of the shaving aid strip.
  • the uppermost surface of first portion 24' preferably extends slightly above the uppermost surface of second portion 26'. It is also preferred that first portion 24' comprises a greater amount (in percent by weight) of shaving aid than second portion 26'.
  • the shaving aid strip typically may be about 2.5 cm to about 3.7 cm in length, and about 0.15 cm to about 0.35 cm in width.
  • a shaving aid strip constructed as described above may be inserted into a razor cartridge with first portion 24 (or 24') facing forward (i.e., in the direction of shaving) as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the strip may be inserted with first portion 24 (or 24') facing rearward as shown in Fig. 5.
  • first portion 24 (or 24') contains a greater proportion of shaving aid than the rest of the strip, and optionally contains other ingredients that may contribute to its faster wear characteristics, it will tend to wear away slightly faster than second portion 26 (or 26'). This faster wear tends to present a fresh surface of shaving aid, which is present in high proportion in that portion, and thus provides more lubrication over a longer period of time.
  • portion 26 (or 26') wears more slowly and maintains the proper shaving geometry.
  • Each portion of the shaving aid strip will include a lubricous water-soluble polymer as the main shaving aid and, optionally, a water-insoluble polymer to serve as a matrix in which the water-soluble polymer is dispersed.
  • the first portion will comprise about 0% to about 30%, more preferably about 10% to about 25%, by weight water-insoluble polymer, and about 65% to about 95%, more preferably about 65% to about 90%, lubricous water-soluble polymer.
  • the second portion will preferably comprise about 10% to about 40%, more preferably about 20% to about 35%, water-insoluble polymer, and about 50% to about 80%, more preferably about 55% to about 75%, lubricous water-soluble polymer.
  • Typical lubricous water-soluble polymers include polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyacrylamide, modified hydroxyalkyl cellulose, polyvinyl imidazoline, polyvinyl alcohol, polysulfone and polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate.
  • the preferred lubricous water-soluble polymer is polyethylene oxide.
  • the more preferred polyethylene oxides generally are known as POLYOX (available from Union Carbide Corporation) or ALKOX (available from Meisei Chemical Works, Kyoto, Japan). These polyethylene oxides will preferably have molecular weights of about 100,000 to 8 million daltons, most preferably about 300,000 to 5 million daltons.
  • a blend of polyethylene oxides typically a blend having at least one polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight in the range of 100,000 to 500,000 and at least one polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight in the range of 3 million to 8 million.
  • the most preferred polyethylene oxide comprises a blend of about 40% to 80% by weight of polyethylene oxide having an average molecular weight of about 5 million (e.g. POLYOX COAGULANT) and about 60% to 20% of polyethylene oxide having an average molecular weight of about 300,000 (e.g. POLYOX WSR-N-750).
  • a 60:40 blend of these two polyethylene oxides (5 million: 300,000) is especially preferred.
  • Suitable water-insoluble polymers which can be used include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, butadiene-styrene copolymer (e.g. medium and high impact polystyrene), polyacetal, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, polyurethane and blends thereof such as polypropylene/polystyrene blend or polystyrene/impact polystyrene blend.
  • the more preferred water-insoluble polymer is polystyrene, preferably a general purpose polystyrene, such as NOVA C2345A, or a high impact polystyrene (i.e. polystyrene-butadiene), such as BASF 495F KG21.
  • the strip or any portion should contain a sufficient quantity of water-insoluble polymer to provide adequate mechanical strength, both during production and use.
  • the first portion of the shaving aid strip will also preferably include a material which allows it to wear more quickly than the second portion and/or which facilitates the inclusion of relatively high levels of water-soluble polymer.
  • a material which allows it to wear more quickly than the second portion and/or which facilitates the inclusion of relatively high levels of water-soluble polymer.
  • One such material is polycaprolactone, as described in copending application U.S. Ser. No. 09/506,628 (Docket No. 8070) filed on February 18, 2000.
  • the polycaprolactone will be included in an amount of about 1% to about 10% by weight.
  • Polycaprolactones are available from Union Carbide Corporation under the name TONED® polymers (e.g., P-737, P-767, P-787, and polyol 1270).
  • the polycaprolactone will have a molecular weight between about 1000 and about 80,000 daltons, more preferably between about 30,000 and 60,000 daltons, and most preferably about 50,000 daltons.
  • the shaving aid strip may contain other conventional shaving aid ingredients, such as low molecular weight water-soluble release enhancing agents such as polyethylene glycol (MW ⁇ 10,000; e.g., 1-10% by weight PEG-100), water-swellable release enhancing agents such as cross-linked polyacrylics (e.g., 2-7% by weight), colorants, antioxidants, preservatives, botanical oils, vitamin E, aloe, cooling agents, essential oils, beard softeners, astringents, medicinal agents, etc.
  • Portions that contain a colorant can be designed to release the colorant (e.g., by leaching or abrasion), and thereby cause the strip to change color during shaving.
  • a portion may contain, for example, between about 0.1% and about 5.0% (preferably between about 0.5% and 3%) colorant by weight.
  • the first portion contains a colorant so as to contrast with the second portion, whereby wear of the first portion during shaving provides a visual indication to the user that the shaving aid strip and/or the razor cartridge has reached the end of its effective life or the end of its optimum performance.
  • Shaving aid strips of the present invention may be fabricated by any appropriate method, including injection molding and extrusion, the latter being preferred. All of the components of the strip are blended prior to molding or extrusion. For best results, it is preferred that the components are dry.
  • the blended components may be extruded through a Haake System 90, 3/4 inch diameter extruder with a barrel pressure of about 1000-2000 psi, a rotor speed of about 10 to 50 rpm, and a temperature of about 150°-185°C and a die temperature of about 170°-185°C.
  • a 1 1/4 inch single screw extruder may be employed with a processing temperature of 175°-200°C, preferably 185°-190°C, a screw speed of 20 to 50 rpm, preferably 25 to 35 rpm, and an extrusion pressure of 1800 to 5000 psi, preferably 2000 to 3500 psi.

  • the pellets are then molded in either a single material molding or multi-material molding machine, which may be single cavity or multi-cavity, optionally equipped with a hotrunner system.
  • the process temperature can be from 165° to 250°C, preferably from 180° to 225°C.
  • the injection pressure should be sufficient to fill the part completely without flashing. Depending on the cavity size, configuration and quantity, the injection pressure can range from 300 to 2500 psi.
  • the cycle time is dependent on the same parameters and can range from 3 to 30 seconds, with the optimum generally being about 6 to 15 seconds.
  • Shaving aid strips with a cross-section like that of strip 22 shown in Fig. 4 are fabricated from the blends of components indicated below by coextruding the blends in the following manner.
  • the components for each portion may be supplied by two separate melting/pumping (plastics extruders), each consisting of a heated barrel, a pumping screw, a motor drive for that screw and a control system for the entire system.
  • the materials are fed in powder form into their respective extruders (e.g., single screw type manufactured by Davis Standard).
  • the extruders can operate at the same or different speeds and the same or different temperatures.
  • the barrel temperature for each extruder can be ramped in three zones from 165°C to 190°C; a fourth heater at the die/barrel connection can also be set to 190°C, and a fifth heater at the die can range from 190°C to 205°C.
  • a rugged weldments the molten streams of the components are brought together to form the strip.
  • Portion 24 can be precisely located on portion 26,28 through accurately machined pathways in the die head. Because they have different compositions, the two molten materials are brought together at the last possible moment before exiting the die. Both materials exit the die head in a size and shape approximating that of the final product.
  • the final dimensions are achieved using a series of forming rollers as the extrudate is cooled.
  • the strip is typically extruded at a rate of about 50 feet per minute.
  • the combined molten materials are drawn from the die head into the sizing/cooling device at a constant speed such that its cross section is always constant. Under a bath of cool dry air the molten material is cooled until no longer pliable. Once cooled, the strips can be cut to the appropriate length and attached to razor cartridges like cartridge 14.
  • Shaving aid strips with a cross-section like that of strip 22' shown in Fig. 7 are fabricated from the blends of components indicated below by coextruding the blends in the manner described above with respect to Examples 1 to 4. Once cooled, the strips are cut to the appropriate length and attached to razor cartridges like cartridge 14.
