Definitions

  • the invention relates to a diffuser for a shaving foam container.
  • a special shaving foam is recommended before shaving in order to reduce razor burn.
  • This foam can be obtained by rubbing a piece of shaving soap, but most commonly it is contained inside a spray can, made up of a container with the soap and a propellant gas inside, and a diffuser that enables activating the valve of the container and obtaining the shaving foam.
  • the purpose of the invention is therefore to develop a diffuser according to the preamble enabling the user to more easily find the various elements needed for manual shaving.
  • the diffuser with means for attaching a razor blade.
  • the container can then serve as a handle for the razor.
  • the diffuser comprises a substantially cylindrical or frustoconical main body, and in that the means for attaching the razor blade are placed inside the extension of the cylinder or cone frustum. This makes it possible to put a cap on the diffuser to protect the blade attachment means, the push button, and the spray nozzle.
  • the diffuser can be equipped with a receptacle in which a removable razor blade can be accommodated.
  • a removable razor blade can be accommodated.
  • the latter is preferably equipped with a longitudinal slot.
  • the receptacle may be provided with means for preventing a razor blade from coming out of its receptacle on its own.
  • the cap in such a way that when it is on the diffuser, the receptacle and, if applicable, the longitudinal slot of the cap are positioned inside the extension of the cylinder or cone frustum that forms the main element.
  • the diffuser of the invention When ready for use, the diffuser of the invention is equipped with a pressurized container of shaving foam.
  • FIG. 1 a perspective view of a diffuser according to the invention, mounted on a container of shaving foam and covered by a cap containing a razor blade;
  • FIG. 2 a cross-section view of the diffuser of FIG. 1 equipped with a razor blade, without the cap;
  • FIG. 3 a front view of the cap without the blade
  • FIG. 4 a top view of the cap without the blade
  • FIG. 5 a perspective view of the cap without the blade
  • FIG. 6 a cross-section view of the diffuser (a) covered by a cap in which a blade is placed and (b) without the cap, and equipped with a blade;
  • FIG. 7 a back view of the diffuser (a) with and (b) without the blade;
  • FIG. 8 a front view of the diffuser (a) with and (b) without the blade;
  • FIG. 9 a top view of the diffuser (a) with and (b) without the blade, and (c) without the blade, but covered with a cap supplied with a blade;
  • FIG. 10 a bottom view of the diffuser (a) with and (b) without the blade;
  • the razor ( 1 ) of the invention is essentially made up of a pressurized container of shaving foam ( 10 ), the diffuser of the invention ( 20 ), and a removable cap ( 30 ).
  • “Diffuser” is defined as a member that cooperates with the valve of the container to enable the product contained therein to go through a channel in the diffuser and come out in the form of a foam.
  • the valve is actuated, releasing the product, which then goes through the diffuser before being discharged as a foam.
  • the diffuser ( 20 ) is equipped in the usual manner with a main body of generally cylindrical shape.
  • This main body comprises in particular a cylindrical skirt ( 26 ) in its lower part, inside which the container fits during use.
  • a push button ( 21 ) under which means ( 22 ) are placed for cooperating with the valve ( 11 ) of a pressurized container of shaving foam ( 10 ), along with an outlet channel ( 23 ) ending in a spray nozzle ( 24 ).
  • the push button ( 21 ) is connected to the main body by a hinge ( 29 ) located on the back thereof, opposite the spray nozzle ( 24 ).
  • the diffuser is also equipped with snap-in means to attach it onto the shaving foam container ( 10 ).
  • the diffuser ( 20 ) also comprises attachment means ( 25 ) for attaching a removable razor blade ( 40 ).
  • attachment means are preferably made up of two sliders ( 25 ) that fit in the usual manner into the attachment grooves ( 41 ) located on the back of the razor blade ( 40 ). Standard blades can thus be used.
  • the latter is placed into a receptacle ( 31 ) provided in the cap ( 30 ).
  • This receptacle ( 31 ) is proportioned so as to receive the blade in its entirety and prevent it from coming out on its own. This can be achieved by providing retaining means in the receptacle ( 31 ), for example.
  • the sliders ( 25 ) of the diffuser are inserted from the side into the grooves ( 41 ) of the razor blade ( 40 ) and are conveyed therein until they reach the desired position. Once they are in the latter position, the user applies traction perpendicular to the blade to extract the blade ( 40 ) from its receptacle ( 31 ). It can be said that the blade is clipped into the receptacle ( 31 ).
  • the receptacle ( 31 ) is preferably arranged with its longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cap ( 30 ), and in the assembled state, to that of the container ( 10 ).
  • the receptacle ( 31 ) has a longitudinal slot ( 32 ) into which the attachment means ( 25 ) on the diffuser can fit in order to grasp the blade ( 40 ) to take it out of its receptacle ( 31 ), or conversely, to pull out again after it has been put back in it after use.
  • the shoulder ( 27 ) can be eliminated so that the cap partly covers the skirt ( 26 ).
  • the skirt and/or the main body can be conical. In this case, the elements to be protected will be placed inside the extension of the cone frustum.
  • the razor of the invention is particularly compact.
  • the skirt ( 26 ) in turn be proportioned so that it stays within the extension of the cylinder that forms the container ( 10 ). This way, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the container ( 10 ), the diffuser ( 20 ), and the cap ( 30 ) have substantially the same outer diameter.
  • the razor according to the invention appears as follows: the blade ( 40 ) is clipped into the receptacle ( 31 ) built into the cap ( 30 ). The cap is placed on the diffuser ( 20 ), which is in turn snapped onto a container of shaving foam ( 10 ).
  • the user removes the cap ( 30 ), takes the quantity of shaving foam he needs in the usual manner, and applies it. Next he inserts the sliders ( 25 ) into the slot ( 32 ) in the cap ( 30 ), and slides them in the attachment grooves until they reach the desired position. Then he extracts the blade with a slight pull.
  • the ready-to-use razor ( 1 ) is thus made up of the container ( 10 ), which serves as a handle, topped by the diffuser ( 20 ), which is in turn equipped with the blade ( 40 ).
  • the user rinses the blade ( 40 ), inserts it into the receptacle ( 31 ) in the cap, where it clips in, slides the attachment means along the grooves ( 41 ) and the slot ( 32 ), and thereby separates the blade from the attachment means ( 25 ). He can then put the cap ( 30 ) back onto the diffuser ( 20 ).
  • the user has not only his shaving foam spray can, but also the razor handle and blade.
  • the whole unit can be stowed compactly, and does not require much space.
