Abstract
A double-headed blade razor 1 has a handle 2 on which two shaving heads 10 are detachably mounted at one end. The shaving heads 10 extend parallel to one another and are disposed on opposite sides of a plane containing the longitudinal axis of the handle 2 with each shaving head 10 forming an angle other than 90 DEG with respect to said axis. The handle 2 has a base portion 3 from which four parallel arms 4a extend upwardly, each arm supporting a plate at its upper end, with a double-bladed shaving head 10 pivotally mounted on each cooperating pair of said plates. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Razor
This invention relates to razors and in particularto blade razors.
According to the present invention there is provided a doubleheaded blade razor wherein each shaving head forms an angle other than 900 with the handle axis, the two heads being parallel and angularly spaced apart by 1800 in respect of said axis.
In the razor of the invention each shaving head has the same inclination both if the user is shaving the right side of his face and the leftone.
In comparison with the blade razor at present available on the market, in which the shaving head is at right angles with the handle axis, the razor of the invention has the advantage of allowing quicker, easier and smoother shaving.
The razor handle comprises a body having a short, lower, cylindrical base portion, from the upper end of which four parallel arms extend upwardly.
Each ofthefour arms, defined and separated by two axial cuts crossing at a right angle in the handle body, supports plateformountingtheshav- ing heads, at its upperend. Thefourmounting plates co-operate two by two so that each pair of plates can engage and support a shaving head.
The inclination otherthan 90 oftheshaving heads in respect ofthe handle axis is obtained by arranging each mounting plate atthe desired angle at the upper end of the arm on which the plate is supported. This is achieved by the two arms of each pair of arms intended to support one ofthe shaving heads being of different lengths.
Finally, each pairofmounting plates intended to supportoneshaving head hastwoteeth protruding outwardlyfrom its sides, inteded to en gage, th rough respective end pegs, the notches with which the replaceable shaving heads of the type utilized in the razor ofthe invention are normally provided.
Since the handle is made of a resilient and resistant material, engagement and disengagement of each shaving head with the related pair of mounting plates will be easily obtained by exerting a pressure on and releasing the arms supporting the plates.
The invention will now be described in more detail, by way ofexample only, referring to the drawings, wherein:
Figure lisa side view ofthe razor of the invention with the shaving heads in place;
Figure2 is a similarview, wherein the razor has been turned by 90 ; Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the razor and its inclined mounting plates with the heads removed; Figure 4 is a top view, to a larger scale, ofthe upper portion of the razor.
With reference to Figure 3, razor 1 comprises a handle 2 made of a resilient and resistant material and comprising a body consisting of a short lower cyi indrical base portion 3, from which four parallel arms protrude upwardly. Two arms 4b are ofthe same length and are longer than the othertwo arms 4a which in turn are ofthe same length. Arms 4a and 4b are defined and separated by two axial cuts 5a and 56 crossing at a right angle.
With each arm an integral mounting plate is formed at its upper end, shaped as a triangular prism having one of its faces directed upwardly and outwardly, which faces are referred to by 7'a and 7'b, ,while references 7a and 7b indicatethefour plates.
Adjacent to its outer short side, each face 7'a presents a tooth 8a having a small peg 9a protruding outwardly therefrom. Similarly, each face 7'b presents a tooth Sb having a small peg 9b protruding outwardly therefrom.
The plates are arranged in two pairs, each pair comprising a plate 7a and a plate 76. Each pair of associated plates 7a and 7b is aligned and provides a supportfor a shaving head 10, preferably of the double blade type, that is well known and available on the market.
Each shaving head 10 is detachably mounted on the associated support by the engagement of the pegs 9a, 9b with notches in the shaving head 10.
The arms 4a, 4b are resiliently displaceable to engage and disengage the pegs 9a, 9b of each sup- port witch the notches ofthe associated shaving head lOforfitting and removing the shaving head 10.
The supports and, when mountedthereon,the shaving heads, extend parallel to each other and are disposed on opposite sides of a plane containing the longitudinal axis ofthe handle, i.e., are angularly spaced apart by 1 800 with respect to the longitudinal axis.
The different length ofthe arms4a and 4b causes the common axisofthealigned plates 7a and 7b ofeach supporttoform an angle different from 90" with the handle axis and, as best shown in
Figure 1 , the shaving head 10 mounted thereon forms the same angle with the handle axis 2.
It results therefrom that this angled arrangement of heads 10 in respect of handle 2 allows a much easier,quickerandsmoothershaving.
It is evident that the presence of the two shaving heads so arranged allows the userto shave both cheeks with the same blade inclination, it being sufficient forthat to turn the razor by 1 80" aboutthe handle axis.
As regards the inclination of the shaving heads in respect of the handle axis, it has been found that this inclination should be preferably included between 1 100and 1400 and, more preferably between 1200and 1300.
1. A double-headed blade razor wherein each shaving head forms an angle otherthan 900 with the handle axis, the two heads being parallel and angularlyspaced apart by 1800in respect of said axis.
