Definitions

  • This disclosure relates generally to wet shaving devices, and more specifically to the form and structure of a razor handle for such a device.
  • the razor may be disposable where the handle and cartridge together are disposed of after use.
  • the razor may be in the form of a so-called system that comprises a longer term use handle that is reused and a removable and disposable cartridge that is disposed after use and can be replaced with a new cartridge.
  • the cartridge includes a housing having razor blade(s) with sharpened cutting edge(s) typically disposed between a guard forward of the cutting edges and a cap aft of the cutting edges.
  • the cartridge can be pivotal about a pivot axis with respect to the handle and a pivot mechanism can permit the cartridge to pivot about the pivot axis.
  • Such safety razors are well known in the art, see for example US 2002/0026720 A or US 6 115 902 A .
  • a shaving aid body which can comprise a shaving aid material that can include a water soluble polymer such as polyethylene oxide.
  • a shaving aid material such as polyethylene oxide.
  • a water soluble polymer such as polyethylene oxide.
  • polyethylene oxide is manufactured by the Dow Corporation under the trade name POLYOXTM.
  • Polyethylene oxide is available in a range of molecular weights from about 100,000 to about 8 million. Higher molecular weight polyethylene oxides are preferred for wet shaving applications as these can be more lubricious when wet which is a desirable characteristic for a shaving aid body on a razor cartridge.
  • a blend of high and low molecular weight polyethylene oxides can also be used.
  • a wetted shaving aid containing portion of a razor cartridge can be rested on or close to a horizontal surface.
  • a film of water can be retained between the shaving aid body and the horizontal surface due to e.g. surface tension effects of the water. This can be exaggerated if the horizontal surface is also wet and/or if the initially wet razor drains by gravity at least partially through the e.g. guard region of the cartridge. This retained film of water increases the wet exposure time of the shaving aid material of the shaving aid body beyond that of the duration of a normal shaving operation and can prematurely deplete a water soluble shaving aid material from the shaving aid body.
  • Extended exposure to water can also soften the shaving aid material, for example if the shaving aid material is a soap-type material, such that its wear rate upon subsequent use is increased and thus the expected life of the shaving aid body and in turn the user-perceived life of the razor cartridge is reduced.
  • the retained film of water between the shaving aid body and the surface will also include some dissolved water soluble shaving aid material. Eventually the water portion of the retained film will evaporate, however the residual shaving aid material at the area of contact can act as weak glue and can leave an undesirable residue on the surface and can undesirably adhere the razor to the horizontal surface.
  • the present disclosure has for its objective to eliminate, or at least substantially alleviate the limitations of the prior art by providing a handle for a safety razor having a form and structure wherein an attached razor cartridge is spaced away from any horizontal surface the razor can be rested upon after use. Retention of any film of water between the razor cartridge and thus any shaving aid body of the razor cartridge and the horizontal surface is avoided.
  • the safety razor according to the invention comprises a razor cartridge having a housing with an upper surface and a shaving aid body including a water soluble shaving aid material connected to a razor handle.
  • the razor handle has a head portion having razor cartridge connecting structure, and a grip portion including an opposed end with a first external surface and a first end including a foot having a terminating surface.
  • the safety razor can be rocked away from the at rest position on the horizontal surface by application of an external force (e.g. by a user's digit) to a rocked position.
  • an external force e.g. by a user's digit
  • the areas of contact of the safety razor to the horizontal surface include an edge portion of the first external surface, an edge portion of the terminating surface of the foot and the upper surface of the razor cartridge.
  • the safety razor defines a center line and a center of mass. When the safety razor is in the rocked position the center of mass is within a region normal to the horizontal surface and bounded at opposed sides by the centerline of the razor in the at rest position and lines connecting sequentially the edge portion of the first external surface, the edge portion of the terminating surface of the foot and the upper surface of the razor cartridge. In this way the safety razor will self-right to its at rest position when released from its rocked position.
  • the safety razor 10 comprises a razor handle 20 and, connected thereto, a razor cartridge 30.
  • the safety razor 10 defines a center line 12 and a center of mass 14.
  • the razor cartridge 30 includes a housing 31 having an upper surface 32 and a guard 34 and cap 36 disposed respectively forward and aft of razor blades 38 mounted in the housing 31.
  • One or both the guard 34 and cap 36 can be provided with a shaving aid body including a water soluble shaving aid material.
  • Some shaving aid bodies can be formed (e.g. extruded) to provide a water soluble polymer in a matrix of a water insoluble polymer.
  • Other shaving aid bodies can comprise a compacted water soluble polymer within a perforated shell or sheath.
  • Typical water soluble polymers include polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyacrylamide, modified hydroxyalkyl cellulose, polyvinyl imidazoline, polyvinyl alcohol, polysulfone and polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate.
  • a preferred lubricious water-soluble polymer is polyethylene oxide.
  • the more preferred polyethylene oxides generally are known as POLYOX (available from Dow Corporation) or ALKOX (available from Meisei Chemical Works, Kyoto, Japan). These polyethylene oxides will preferably have molecular weights (MW) of about 100,000 to 8 million.
  • 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) can be especially preferred.
  • the water soluble shaving aid material can also include a soap-type material, e.g. a synthetic detergent or a saponified material.
  • the water soluble shaving aid material can also include materials that swell when wetted. Some examples of water swellable shaving aid materials are disclosed in U.S.-A-5,626,154 .
  • Other water swellable shaving aid materials include polyethylene oxide particularly with a relatively high molecular weight (e.g. POLYOX COAGULANT) if this material is e.g. provided in a compacted form in a perforated shell.
  • the razor handle 20 includes a head portion 40 including razor cartridge connecting structure (not identified), this structure preferably provides connection to the razor cartridge (30) such that a user may selectively replace the razor cartridge 30 when he or she finds this appropriate.
  • the safety razor 10 may be disposable where the razor handle 20 and razor cartridge 30 together are disposed of after use.
  • the handle 20 also includes a grip portion 50 having a first end 60 adjacent the head portion 40, and an opposed end 70.
  • the grip portion 50 includes a first external surface 80 having laterally opposed edge portions 82, 84.
  • the first external surface 80 is located close to the opposed end of the grip portion 50.
  • the first external surface 80 can alternatively be located away from the opposed end of the grip portion 50 as indicated by dashed lines 86.
  • the first end 60 includes a foot 62 having a terminating surface 64 with laterally opposed edge portions 66, 68.
  • areas of contact of the safety razor 10 to the horizontal surface 90 include the first external surface 80 and the terminating surface 64 of the foot.
  • the razor cartridge 30 is spaced from the horizontal surface 90 preferably by a distance 88 at least 1mm, more preferably at least 3mm and most preferably at least 5mm. The higher value spacing distances are more preferred as some shaving aid materials can swell when wetted which can effectively reduce this spacing for a wet safety razor compared to a dry safety razor.
  • the safety razor 10 on the horizontal surface 90 can be rocked away from the at rest position by to a rocked position, as depicted in Figs. 4-6 .
  • the areas of contact of the safety razor 10 to the horizontal surface 90 include an edge portion (82 or 84) of the first external surface 80, an edge portion (66 or 68) of the terminating surface 64 of the foot 62 and the upper surface 32 of the razor cartridge 30.
  • the centerline of the razor in its at rest position is identified as 12.
  • the center of mass 14 is within a region normal to the horizontal surface 90 and bounded at opposed sides by the centerline 12 of the razor 10 in the at rest position and hypothetical lines connecting sequentially the edge portion 82, 84 of the first external surface 80 and the edge portion 66, 68 of the terminating surface 64 of the foot 62 and the edge portion of the terminating surface 64 of the foot 62 and the upper surface 94 of the razor cartridge 30.
  • the safety razor 10 will self-right to its at rest position when released from its rocked position.
  • one or both the terminating surface 64 of the foot 62 or the first external surface 80 include a flat or concave region (see Fig. 6A ).
  • concave is intended to not be limited to a continuously smoothly curved surface but to include any recessed surface.
  • the razor handle 20 of the safety razor 10 has form and structure such that a retained film of water between a shaving aid material containing element of the razor cartridge 30 and a generally horizontal resting surface 90 the razor 10 can be stored upon between periods of use can be prevented. If the safety razor 10 is disturbed from its at rest position to a rocked position by application of an external force the safety razor 10 will self-right to its at rest position. If the safety razor 10 were to maintain the rocked position a portion of the razor cartridge housing 31 will be in contact with the resting surface 90 and provide an opportunity for an undesirable retained film in the vicinity of the point of contact of the razor cartridge housing 31 to the resting surface 90 that can be caused by e.g. surface tension effects.
