Definitions
- the disclosure relates to shaver handles, shavers including such handles and methods of manufacturing the same.
- Shaver handles are usually compact plastic molded parts, molded as a single part or sometimes molded as several parts which are later assembled.
- WO2006081842 shows an example of a known shaver handle.
- One of the purposes of the present disclosure is to improve the shaver handles of the prior art, in particular with regard to material consumption and economy.
- a handle for a wet shaver having:
- the mechanical structure of the handle body can be highly efficient and may save a lot of material compared to compact handles full of solid material, for the same or similar mechanical properties.
- a further object of the disclosure is a shaver comprising a handle with any of the above described features and a shaver head mounted on the head supporting portion of said handle.
- Still another object of the disclosure is a method for reducing the amount of raw material used in manufacturing a handle for wet shaver comprising defining a cell containing structure using a Voronoi diagram, characterized in that the material volume used to manufacture said handle is at least 33% inferior compared to a handle having a similar bending efficiency ratio.
- Figures 1 and 2 illustrate a shaver 1 according to a first embodiment, comprising a handle 2 and a shaver head 3.
- the shaver head 3 may have a guard 4, one or several blades 5 and possibly a cover 6 or similar.
- the handle 2 may be formed in one piece.
- the handle 2 may be formed by a digital fabrication technology such as three dimensional (3D) printing, also called additive manufacturing.
- Said 3D printing may be chosen in particular among additive manufacturing methods such as material extrusion (e.g. fused deposition modelling etc.), material jetting, VAT photopolymerization (e.g. digital light processing and electron beam melting, stereolithography etc.), sheet lamination, direct energy deposition, powder bed fusion (e.g. laser sintering etc.) and binder jetting.
- a second step may follow, having the part shaped using conventional techniques (e.g. milling).
- the handle may be formed in two or more parts which are later assembled together.
- the handle may be manufactured by injection molding or by any known manufacturing method including additive manufacturing.
- the handle 2 may be formed in one or several materials.
- the handle 2 may be formed in one or several of the following materials: plastic materials, metals, mixtures of synthetic and natural materials including wood and paper, etc.
- the handle 2 may comprise an elongated handle body 7 and a head supporting portion 8 supporting the shaver head 3.
- the shaver head 3 may be removably or non-removably attached to the head supporting portion 8.
- the handle body 7 is adapted to be held in hand by a user.
- the handle body 7 extends between a distal end 9 (opposite the head supporting portion 8) and a proximal end 10 (close to the head portion 8), along a central line C.
- the central line C may be curved.
- the central line C may be included in a sagittal plane P0.
- the shaver head 3 may be connected to the head supporting portion 8 by any known way, for instance pivotally around a pivot axis perpendicular to the sagittal plane P0, or otherwise.
- the shaver head 3 may be pivotally mounted on two lateral arms 12 belonging to the head supporting portion 8 and elastically biased to a rest position by an elastic tongue 13 also belonging to the head supporting portion 8. Any other known way of mounting the shaver head 3 to the head supporting portion 8 would be possible.
- the handle body 7 may have a cell structure formed by juxtaposed hollow cells 16, at least partly separated by solid walls 15.
- the solid walls 15 may form a continuous, single solid part.
- the cell structure has an envelope volume Vt, which is the internal volume comprised by an envelope surface S of the handle 2 as shown in Figure 6 .
- the envelope volume Vt encompasses a certain empty volume Ve.
- the ratio Ve/Vt of said empty volume on said envelope volume being between 33% and 90%, preferably more than 65 %.
- the solid walls 15 may form a network of solid threads or arms which are connected together.
- the cell structure 15, 16 may be formed as any structure, such as for example a Voronoi diagram.
- said cell structure 15, 16 is a grid shell structure.
- Such grid shell structure forms a continuous skin or shell which extends substantially on the envelope surface S of the handle body, thus defining the external shape of the handle body 7 and surrounding an inner volume 14 of the handle body.
- the above mentioned hollow cells 16 are formed in the grid shell structure and are open towards the inner volume 14 and at the envelope surface S, and said solid walls 15 are separating said hollow cells 16 parallel the envelope surface S of the handle body.
- the inner volume 14 is empty and free of solid walls.
- the inner volume 14 may include solid walls belonging to the cell structure and defining empty cells, for instance according to a 3D Voronoi diagram.
- the handle body may be produced around any object (e.g. an insert made of any known material) entrapping it and/or enabling it to move freely in the handle body 7.
- the grid shell structure 15, 16 may extend continuously around the central line C.
- the grid shell structure 15, 16 may define a top portion 17, a bottom portion 18 and two side portions 19 all extending along the central line from the distal end to the proximal end, and said grid shell structure forms an apex 20 at the distal end 9 of the handle body ( Figures 4-5 ), continuously joining the top portion 17, bottom portion 18 and side portions 19.
- the grid shell structure 15, 16 may be such that said empty cells 16 represent between 30 % and 60 % of said outside surface.
- the grid shell structure 15, 16 may be such that said empty cells 16 have an average surface density (parallel to the envelope surface S) comprised between 0.3 and 3 cells / cm 2 .
- the grid shell structure 15, 16 may be such that a plane perpendicular to said central line C and intersecting the handle body 7 (for instance the planes P1, P2 shown in Figure 3 ) intersects an average number of empty cells 16 comprised between 3 and 15.
- the grid shell structure 15, 16 may be such that a plane including said distal end 9 and said proximal end 10 (for instance the sagittal plane P0), intersects an average number of empty cells 16 comprised between 3 and 20.
- the thickness e of the grid shell structure 15, 16 may be a few millimeters, for instance between 0,3 and 5 mm; the transverse dimension D of the grid shell structure 15, 16, perpendicular to the central line C, may be for instance between about 8 and 25 mm.
- the length of grid shell structure 15, 16 may be for instance of about 90 to 120 mm and the total length of the shaver handle 2 may be for instance between about 110 to 140 mm. These dimensions may be typical for a normal handle and are not deemed to be limitative.
- the handle can also be smaller, for instance with a length in the range of about 30-80 mm, in which case the length of the grid shell structure 15, 16 would be consequently reduced. Additionally the handle may have the grid shell structure 15, 16 only in a portion of its length and not in the whole volume.
- the shaver handle 2 saves a lot of material compared to existing shaver handles, thus also saving weight and energy.
- Vm volume of solid material
- each handle was covered with a plastic film, simulating that the handle has a compact (full of material) shape and similarly the handle was inserted in the volume measuring tube, again full of deionized water. The water volume coming out of the tube was measured, corresponding to the envelope volume (Vt).
- the invention In addition to saving material and minimizing energy footprint of the product, the invention also enables to improve the mechanical efficiency of the material used.
- This bending efficiency ratio Rbe may be possibly obtained from a theoretical analysis, in particular from a finite element analysis which uses a 3d digital model to calculate the bending efficiency ratio by taking as input the force F applied to a distal end 9 of the handle and calculating the displacement d of the distal end 9 of the handle and the volume Vm of solid material of the handle.
- Table 2 shows the comparison of the calculation of the bending efficiency ratio Rbe in the case of the shaver handle of Figures 1-5 compared to a compact shaver handle having the same envelope surface as shown in Figure 6 :
- Table 2 Volume of solid material Vm [ml] F [N] d [mm] Rbe [N.mm -4 ] Handle of Figures 1-5 58, 73 2.08 2.57 1.38 10 -4 Corresponding compact handle 19,537 5 2.61 0.98 10 -4
- Table 2 shows that the mechanical efficiency, measured by the ratio Rbe, is higher in the case of the invention compared to a compact handle of the same external shape.
- the bending efficiency ratio of a handle according to the invention is preferably more than 1.20 10 -4 N.mm -4 , even more preferably larger than 1.30 10 -4 N.mm -4 .
- the invention also provides better gripping for the user, increasing the comfort and the feeling of safety while shaving.
- the handle body 7 may be for instance injection molded and the head supporting portion 8 may be formed as a separate part and fixed to the proximal end 10 of the handle body, for instance by fitting and / or ultrasound welding or by any other way.
- the handle body 7 may include a central empty channel 21, obtained by using a slider in the mold if the handle body is manufactured by injection molding.
- the central channel 21 may be axially open at the proximal end 10 of the central body.
- the central channel 21 may extend along the central line C of the handle, which is curved in the example of Figures 7-8 .
- the central channel 21 and the central line C of the handle may also be straight, as illustrated in the variant of Figure 9 .
- the grid shell structure 15, 16 may have a larger and/or variable thickness compared to the first embodiment, the maximum width of channel 21 being defined by the neck of the handle body 7.
- the handle body 7 may be for instance injection molded on an insert 22 and the head supporting portion 8 may be formed as a separate part and fixed to the handle body 7 and / to the insert 22 at the proximal end 10 of the handle body, for instance by fitting and / or ultrasound welding or by any other way.
- the insert 22 may have a hole 23 at the proximal end 10 of the handle body and the head supporting portion 8 may have a lug 24 fitted into said hole 23.
- the insert 22 may advantageoulsy be hollow, defining the empty inner volume 14.
- the insert 22 may be blow molded.
- the thickness of the insert 22 may typically range from a few tens of millimeters to a few millimeters.
- the material of the insert may be PCTG (Glycol-modified Poly-Cyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate), for instance a PCTG with high optical transparency.
- PCTG Gel-modified Poly-Cyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate
- the grid shell structure 15, 16 may be injection molded from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) on the insert 22.
- TPE thermoplastic elastomer
