BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A razor according to one embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments and examples described below are merely examples of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the technical scope of the present invention. In addition, in each drawing, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same component.

A razor 1 according to this embodiment includes a grip portion 2, a head support portion 3, a cover member 4, and a razor head 5, as shown in FIGS.

The grip portion 2 and the head support portion 3 are integrally formed of paper having a certain or more rigidity. The gripping portion 2 is formed to extend in the longitudinal direction, and the head support portion 3 is connected to the upper end portion of the gripping portion 2 . The head support portion 3 is formed to extend in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in which the grip portion 2 extends.

Each drawing shows an x-axis, a y-axis, and a z-axis. The longitudinal direction in which the grip portion 2 extends is defined as the x-axis. The direction perpendicular to the x-axis, which is the longitudinal direction of the grip portion 2, and the direction in which the head support portion 3 extends is defined as the y direction. A direction perpendicular to the x-direction and the y-direction is called the z-direction. Although the z-direction is sometimes referred to as the "thickness direction", the "thickness direction" does not necessarily correspond to the x-axis and the y-axis because the head support section 3 is provided so as to be inclined in the z-axis direction with respect to the grip section 2, as shown in the figure. not exactly along the z-axis perpendicular to both , but at some angle.

In this specification, the x-axis direction is called the vertical direction, the side on which the head support portion 3 is provided with respect to the grip portion 2 is called the upper side, and the opposite side is called the lower side. That is, the upper side corresponds to the + side of the x-axis, and the lower side corresponds to the - side of the x-axis. Also, the y-axis direction is called the width direction. The side on which the razor head 5 is arranged with respect to the head supporting portion 3 is called the ventral side, and the opposite side is called the dorsal side. That is, the ventral side corresponds to the + side of the z-axis and the dorsal side corresponds to the - side of the z-axis, but as described above, the ventral side and the dorsal side may have a certain angle with respect to the z-axis.

As shown in FIG. 2, the grasping portion 2 has a shape of only the outer shell portion, and has a shape in which the ventral side is depressed and the inside thereof is hollow. As a result, resources such as paper used for the grip portion 2 are reduced. The grip part 2 has a longitudinally extending relatively wide recess 21 on its ventral side. The recess 21 is large enough to accommodate any one or more of shaving aids such as shaving agent, lotion or cream used after shaving, razor heads used as replacement blades, and the like. The grip portion 2 has a curved outer periphery without any corners, thereby creating a shape that does not burden the user's hand.

The head support portion 3 is positioned above the grip portion 2 and is continuous with the grip portion 2 at a portion below the center in the width direction. The head support part 3 has a shape in which the ventral side is depressed only at the substantially outer shell part, similarly to the grip part 2 . A razor head 5 is mounted on the ventral surface of the head support portion 3 . Since the head supporting portion 3 is recessed on the ventral side, the razor head 5 sinks toward the dorsal side as shown in FIG. In other words, the ventral surface of the razor head 5 protrudes more to the ventral side than the imaginary plane connecting the ventral end surfaces of the head support portion 3 . As a result, the blade body of the razor head 5 is shaped so as to be in contact with the skin without difficulty. The head support portion 3 may be configured to be swingable with respect to the grip portion 2 .

The razor head 5 is supported by the head support 3 as described above. The razor head 5 is secured to the head support 3 by, for example, gluing, fitting, or friction locking. The razor head 5 may be arranged so as to be detachably supported by the head support portion 3 . The razor head 5 includes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped substantially box-shaped frame 51 and a blade 52, and is entirely made of metal such as stainless steel. The frame 51 has an opening 53 on the ventral surface that comes into contact with the user's skin. The cutting edge of the blade body 52 is exposed through the opening 53 .

Two rectangular holes 54 are formed in the back surface of the frame 51 of the razor head 5, as shown in FIG. Two through holes 31 are provided in the head support portion 3 at positions facing the two holes 54 of the razor head 5 . Before use, an adhesive sealing member (not shown) is attached so as to cover these through holes 31 . This seal member is removed by the user before use. Body hair shaved off by the blade body 52 of the razor head 5 flows out from the hole 54 and the through hole 31, so that the shaved body hair does not remain inside the razor head 5. . That is, the hole 54 of the razor head 5 and the through hole 31 of the head support portion 3 are configured to enhance the rinsing property of the razor 1 .

It should be noted that the number of holes 54 in the razor head 5 may not necessarily be two, and the positions shown in the drawings may not be necessary. Similarly, the number of through-holes 31 in the head support portion 3 may not necessarily be two, and the positions shown in the drawings may be different. However, it is preferable that the holes 54 and the through-holes 31 are provided at positions facing each other at least partially in order to efficiently flow out body hair shaved off by the blade body 52 .

The cover member 4 is arranged so as to face the ventral surfaces of the grip portion 2 and the head support portion 3, and together with the grip portion 2 and the head support portion 3, forms a distribution package. That is, the grip portion 2, the head support portion 3, and the razor head 5 are entirely covered with the cover member 4 arranged on the ventral side thereof. The cover member 4 has a concave portion 4a extending in the longitudinal direction at a position facing the concave portion 21 of the grip portion 2. As shown in FIG. A space is formed between the grip portion 2 and the cover member 4 by the concave portion 21 of the grip portion 2 and the concave portion 4 a of the cover member 4 . This space, as described above, can be a containment space for containing items that are used in conjunction with the razor, such as shaving powder. It should be noted that the cover member 4 may have a planar configuration without the concave portion 4a, and the concave portion 21 of the grip portion 2 may form the accommodation space as described above. Alternatively, the grip portion 2 may be planar, and the concave portion 4a of the cover member 4 may form a housing space.

The cover member 4 does not necessarily have to cover the entire surface of the grip portion 2, the head support portion 3, and the razor head 5. For example, the cover member 4 may not cover the lower portion of the grip portion 2. good too.

The cover member 4 is connected to the grip part 2 and the head support part 3, but a reconnectable connection method or a non-reconnectable connection method may be adopted.

In the case where the cover member 4 is reconnectably connected to the grip portion 2 and the head support portion 3, the cover member 4 is removed during use and the state shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 is obtained. When the cover member 4 is attached, the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 can be restored. In this case, the cover member 4 may be configured to be connectable and reconnectable to the gripping portion 2 and the head supporting portion 3 at the positions of the lower end of the gripping portion 2 and the upper end of the head supporting portion 3 . is not limited to

Moreover, the cover member 4, the grip portion 2, and the head support portion 3 may be connected by a sealing member or the like. Further, when the razor 1 is discarded, the cover member 4 may be reconnected to the grip portion 2 and the head support portion 3 by the sealing member. The cover member 4, the grip portion 2, and the head support portion 3 may be detachable by fitting.

On the other hand, when the cover member 4 is connected to the grip part 2 and the head support part 3 in a non-reconnectable manner, after the cover member 4 is removed during use and the state shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 is reached. cannot return to the state shown in FIGS. Even in this case, the razor 1 without the cover member 4 may be used repeatedly. In this case, the cover member 4 is connected to the grip portion 2 and the head support portion 3 at the positions of the lower end of the grip portion 2 and the upper end of the head support portion 3 before use. However, it is not limited to such a configuration.

The grip portion 2, the head support portion 3, and the cover member 4 are preferably made of the same material, such as paper or resin. Forming the grip portion 2, the head support portion 3, and the cover member 4 from paper is preferable because the structure is easy to reproduce. The grip portion 2, the head support portion 3, and the cover member 4 may be formed by pulp molding, for example.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cover member 4 is provided on the side opposite to the side on which the gripping portion 2 is arranged at the portion of the cover member 4 facing the head support portion 3, that is, on the upper end or near the end. Suspension means 41 formed continuously from . A through hole 41 a is provided in the center of the suspension means 41 . A rod-shaped member for hanging display is inserted through the through-hole 41a when the razor 1 is sold at a store in the shape of a distribution package consisting of the grip portion 2, the head support portion 3, and the cover member 4. to stabilize the razor 1 in a suspended state.

The suspending means 41 may be provided on the opposite side of the cover member 4 in the vertical direction, that is, on the lower end. Further, for example, a through hole may be provided in the grip part 2 and the cover member 4, and a configuration may be adopted in which the rod-shaped member for hanging display can be inserted through the through hole.

[Modification]
The razor of this embodiment may be configured like the razor 1a shown in the conceptual diagram of FIG.

In the modified razor 1a, before use, the head support portion 3, the grip portion 2, and the cover member 4 are connected at the lower end 22 of the grip portion 2 and the lower end 43 of the cover member 4. The cover member 4 is detached from the grip portion 2 by breaking the portion. After the cover member 4 is detached from the grip part 2, reconnection becomes impossible. Note that even after the cover member 4 is detached from the gripping portion 2 by breaking the connection portion in this way, the cover member 4 is not fitted to the gripping portion 2 and the head support portion 3 other than the broken connection portion, for example. It may be configured to be reconnectable by joining.

In the razor 1a, a hanging means 42 formed continuously from the cover member 4 is provided at the upper end of the cover member 4. As shown in FIG. The suspension means 42 has a through hole 42a extending in the width direction.

In the razor 1a as well, the shaving agent 6 can be stored in the storage space formed by the recess 21 of the grip portion 2 and the cover member 4. As shown in FIG.

[Features of Razor]
The razor 1 of the present embodiment and the modified razor 1a have, for example, the following features.

The razors 1 and 1a have a grip portion 2, a head support portion 3, a cover member 4, and a razor head 5. The grip portion 2, the head support portion 3, and the cover member 4 form a distribution package. Further, on the ventral side of the gripping portion 2, an accommodation space is formed by the concave portion 21 of the gripping portion 2 and the cover member 4 to accommodate items used together with the razor. When used, the cover member 4 is removed to release the covered state of the razor head 5 so that the razor head 5 is exposed, and the razor head 5 can be brought into contact with the skin. Such razors 1 and 1a can be distributed as they are without preparing a separate razor package. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the use of resources such as resin and paper that are normally used for the package, and it is possible to provide an environmentally friendly razor.

In addition, since the device can be used immediately by removing the cover member 4, user convenience can be enhanced. In addition, the storage space can accommodate any one or more items such as shaving aids such as shaving agent, lotion or cream used after shaving, and razor heads used as replacement blades.

In addition, it is good also as a structure which encloses a moisture absorbent in the said accommodation space. Such a moisture absorbent is temporarily removed during use, but by storing it again in the storage space after use, it absorbs moisture from the portion formed of paper material and suppresses deterioration. It is possible to prevent the razor head 5 from being oxidized and rusted. Moreover, it is possible to suppress deterioration of the paper material due to moisture during circulation.

Moreover, the razors 1 and 1a are configured so that the cover member 4 covers the entire head support portion 3 and the grip portion 2, so that the razors 1 and 1a are suitable as distribution packages.

Moreover, in the razors 1 and 1a, the grip portion 2 has the concave portion 21 and the cover member 4 has the concave portion 4a as described above. widely secured. Note that the cover member 4 may be configured so as not to necessarily have the concave portion 4a.

In addition, since the razor heads 5 of the razors 1 and 1a are entirely made of metal, the metal razor heads 5 are removed from the grip portion 2, the head support portion 3, and the cover member 4 made of paper and separated. Can be discarded. The grip portion 2, the head support portion 3, and the cover member 4 may be made of resin other than paper, and even in this case, the metal razor head 5 can be separately discarded.

Further, the head support portion 3 of the razor 1 has a through hole 31 at a position facing the hole 54 of the razor head 5 to allow shaved body hair to flow out, and the through hole 31 is closed before use. It may be configured to have a removable sealing member to cover. As a result, it is possible to achieve a structure in which the shaved body hair can be effectively flowed out during use while maintaining a sealed state or a near-sealed state during distribution.

Moreover, since the razors 1 and 1a are configured to have the hanging means 41 or 42, the razors 1 and 1a can be stored in a distribution package formed by the grip portion 2, the head support portion 3, and the cover member 4. It can be configured to be easy to display.

Further, in the razors 1 and 1a, the hanging means 41 and 42 are provided near the end of the cover member 4 opposite to the side on which the grip portion 2 is arranged, at the portion facing the head support portion 3 of the cover member. 4 is continuously formed. With this configuration, the razors 1 and 1a can easily be displayed in a store without any sense of incongruity.

Moreover, in the razors 1 and 1a, a configuration in which the cover member 4 is connected to the grip portion 2 may be employed. With this configuration, the razors 1 and 1a have a stable configuration as distribution packages. The cover member 4 and the head support portion 3 may be connected to each other, or the cover member 4 and both the head support portion 3 and the grip portion 2 may be connected to each other.

Further, the razor 1a is configured such that the cover member 4 can be separated from the grip portion 2 by breaking the connecting portion between the cover member 4 and the grip portion 2. As shown in FIG. As a result, a user-friendly configuration can be achieved.
