Abstract
A razor head or cartridge is provided on its skin engaging surfaces (T, 8), e.g. caps and/or guard surfaces with an array of closely spaced projections (11, 14) which, in use, produce a pleasant tactile sensation tending to reduce shaving discomfort. The projections may be formed by closely packed flexible filaments, or by moulded fins (11) or pillars (14).
Description
IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO SAFETY" RAZORS
This invention relates to razors having one or more blades and skin engaging surfaces arranged ahead of and/or behind the blade edge or edges.
The invention is applicable to razors of various forms, such as so-called 3-piece razors, one- piece, or disposable razors and to razors in which the head is formed by a replaceable blade cartridge.
In conventional razors, the skin engaging surfaces are formed as cap and guard members, the cap member being positioned behind the blade edges(s) and the guard member ahead of the edge(s).
The present invention resides broadly in providing the skin engaging cap and/or guard surfaces with configurations or textures designed to promote pleasant tactile sensations, in use of the razors, which tend to mask the sensations caused by contact of the blade edge(s) with the skin and more significantly with the facial hairs as they are severed.
It is known that small discrete regions of the skin, approximately 1mm across on the face, are served by separate nerve networks so that it is not possible subjectively to distinguish between two separate points of pressure applied to the skin less than about 1mm apart. These areas can be stimulated repeatedly
by a succession of pressure points moving across them. By controlling the pressure to a low but adequate level it can be assured that the sensation is pleasant, but it has been found, surprisingly, that this raises the threshold stimulus level for discomfort.
In the embodiments of the invention described below, the skin engaging surfaces of the razor head or cartridge are provided in one form or another with projections whose function is to provide frequent stimulation of the individual .nerve zones at a low but adequate pressure level. The pressures are controlled by making the projections flexible and by varying their density to achieve sufficient but not excessive stimuli.
The present invention provides a safety razor having one or more blades and a skin engaging surface (such as a cap member or a guard member) wherein the said surface is formed by a plurality of upstanding straight filaments present at a density of at least
100 per sq. mm, the filaments having a uniform length of 0.3 to 2.00 mm and diameters in the range of (1.5 to 3.2)x10~2 mm.
The invention also provides a safety razor having a skin engaging surface (such as a cap member or a guard member), wherein the said surface is composed of an array of projections comprising a plurality of rows extending generally parallel with the blade edge(s), the said projections being flexible under normal shaving forces in directions transverse to the blade edge(s), and wherein the said projections have a height in the range of 0.5 to 2.5 mm, a ratio of height to base thickness in the range of 2:1 to 5:1 and a spacing between adjacent longitudinal rows of 0.3 to 1.5mm.
j, Some embodiments of the invention will now be described in detail, by way of example, with reference J to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a conventional 5 form of replaceable razor cartridge to which the invention may be applied;
Figs. 2 to 8 each comprise a fragmentary view, on a greatly enlarged scale, of a skin engaging surface in accordance with the invention. 10 A cartridge of conventional form is illustrated in Figure 1 , which is a perspective view illustrating a cartridge body 1 of moulded construction (usually composed of a number of individual mouldings) in which are permanently secured 15 a pair of blades 2, 3 whose cutting edges are disposed to act in tandem upon the skin. The body is formed to provide a guard member 4 and a cap member 6 having skin engaging surfaces 7 and 8, respectively, to engage the skin ahead of and behind the blade edges. 20 In accordance with the invention, one or both of the surfaces 7 and 8 is or are provided with a configured surface essentially comprising a plurality of spaced projections.
All linear dimensions specified herein are in 25 mm.
In one embodiment of the invention, the surfaces are formed by spray flock coatings, e.g. of nylon, acetate or acrylic filaments having lengths of 0.3 to 2.00, and diameters of (1.5 to 3.2) x 10-2. 30 The filaments are applied at a density of 100 to 500 ι per sq. mm. The filaments may be disposed perpendicular to the skin engaging surface in question, or may be inclined up to 60° from the perpendicular, either forwardly or rearwardly relative 35 to the shaving direction, and they may be orientated differently in different regions of the skin engaging surfaces.
Examples of various possible forms of moulded configurations are illustrated in Figs. 2 to 8, respectively.
In Fig. 2, the surface is formed with a square grid pattern of mutually transverse walls 11 , each tapering to a very thin edge. Each square cell 12 thus formed may be some 0.3 to 1.0 across, with its walls 0.5 to 2.5 high and with an "aspect ratio" of height to thickness of base in the range of 2:1 to 5:1. The structure may be completely open, as shown in Fig. 2 or, as illustrated in Fig. 3, it may have a continuous base 13.
In-Fig. 4, the individual- projections 11A are spaced apart in respective, mutually transverse rows to form rectangular cells open at their corners and the base 3 has apertures 14 at the intersection of each group of four adjacent projections to facilitate clearance of shaving debris.
In Figs. 5 and 6, the corresponding projections are formed as continuous longitudinal fins 11B. The fins may be spaced apart by 0.3 to 1.0, with a height of 0.5 to 2.5 and an aspect ratio in the range 2:1 to 5:1.
In Fig. 5 the fins are perpendicular to the base 13 but in Fig. 6 they are shown inclined at an angle of about 30° or more to the perpendicular, and forwardly relative to the shaving direction, indicated by the arrow 'S' .
The fins may alternatively be set to slope rearwardly relative to shaving direction at an angle of up to 30° beyond the perpendicular.
Fig. 7 illustrates a variant of Fig. 5 in which the fins 11C, instead of being continuous, are interrupted at intervals along their lengths. They may also be inclined, either forwardly or rearwardly, as described in relation to Fig. 6.
The action of the above described fins is as follows. Those arranged parallel to the blade edges interact with the skin either directly or through contact with facial hair to produce pleasant masking sensations, while those arranged perpendicular to the edges help to control the pressure of the parallel fins on the skin.
In each of the cases illustrated in Figs. 2 to 7, the skin engaging surfaces are formed by mouldings of synthetic elastomeric materials. They may be formed integrally with the basic cap or guard structures, or as separate mouldings which are then attached to underlying cap and guard structures. This latter approach lends itself particularly well, but not exclusively, to incorporation in razor cartridges of the conventional form currently marketed widely in the UK and elsewhere.
Fig. 8 illustrates another form of the invention in which the skin engaging surfaces are formed with individual pillars 14. The pillars may have a height in the range of 0.5 to 2.5 with an aspect ratio of height to base diameter of 2:1 to -5:1 and with a spacing between adjacent pillars in each row and between adjacent rows of pillars of 0.6 to 1.5. The base 13 and pillars 14 may be integrally moulded in one material which is relatively flexible, or "the pillars might be made of a more rigid material set in an elastomeric base 13 which permits flexure of the individual pillars about their lower ends. With all of the above described moulded con¬ structions, the precise arrangement and dimensioning of the fins, walls, pillars or other projections will be dependent in part on the flexibility of the particular materials selected, which will normally have a hardness of less than 90 Shore A.
It will also be possible to combine different surfaces on different regions of the razor, say one type on the cap member and another on the guard member as well as to combine different surfaces on different regions of either member.
