Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved skin engaging member for use in razor blade cartridge assemblies and shaving systems of the wet shave type.
  • the present invention resides broadly in providing the skin engaging cap and/or guard surfaces with configurations which deliver a shaving aid as the razor is dragged across the skin.
  • Suitable shaving aids include lubricants, whisker softeners, razor cleaners, medicinal agents, cosmetic agents or combinations thereof.
  • This invention also relates to a novel method of manufacturing the skin engaging member of the present invention. In shaving systems of the wet shave type, factors such as the frictional drag of the razor across the skin, the force needed to sever hairs, and irritation of pre-existing skin damage can create a degree of shaving discomfort.
  • Shaving aids can be applied prior to, during, or after shaving.
  • a number of problems accompany the use of pre- and post-applied shaving aids.
  • Pre-applied-shaving aids can evaporate or can be carried away from the site PC17US95/13713
  • Post-applied-shaving aids are not present on the skin during shaving and thus their application may be too late to prevent an unwanted affect. Both pre-applied and post-applied shaving aids add additional steps to the shaving process.
  • a shaving aid e.g. lubricant, whisker softener, razor cleanser, medicinal agent, cosmetic agent or combination thereof
  • a shaving aid e.g. lubricant, whisker softener, razor cleanser, medicinal agent, cosmetic agent or combination thereof
  • a water- soluble shaving aid e.g. polyethylene oxide
  • non-water-soluble material e.g., a polystyrene polymer
  • the composite has been mounted on razor and shaving cartridge structures, adjacent the shaving edge or edges, of single or multiple blade shaving systems. Upon exposure to water, the water-soluble shaving aid leaches from the composite onto the skin. These composites tend to release large amounts of shaving aid in the first few shaves and dramatically less shaving aid in subsequent shaves. Furthermore, extruded composites with relatively large amounts of shaving agent material (up to 80% by weight) and relatively low amounts of water insoluble matrix material
  • the selection of the Polyox carrier is limited to a carrier that has a low melting or softening temperature and is at least partially miscible with polyetheneoxide.
  • the strip is made at a high temperature of approximately 180°C, additives such as fragrances and plasticizers are difficult to incorporate in the strips.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,872,263 to Etheredge, III, issued October 10, 1989 discloses a lubricating device comprised of a porous matrix impregnated with a particular acid soap.
  • the impregnated matrix is covered with a water insoluble perforated sheet material in an effort to prevent the lubricant from eroding too quickly and to provide a smooth "massaging" effect on the skin.
  • These lubricating devices have not met with commercial success.
  • These lubricating devices are expensive to manufacture due to the additional assembly required of the sheet-over-matrix design. They also tend to swell and delaminate when affixed to the razor cartridge with glue.
  • the soft porous matrix does not lend itself to economical mechanical means of affixing the strip to the razor cartridge.

Potentially, the device can maintain surface appearance, control-release the shaving aids, minimize the degradation of the shaving aids, and prevent the shaving aids from being trapped in a strip.

Abstract

Elément (64) amélioré venant en contact avec la peau à utiliser dans des ensembles cartouche de lame de rasoir et systèmes de rasage du type mouillé. Selon un aspect de la présente invention, un dispositif de rasage à deux composants et à libération régulée est composé (a) d'une couche fourreau (72) constituée de résines thermoplastiques et dotée d'ouvertures et (b) d'une région centrale (70) contenant des auxiliaires de rasage internes. Potentiellement, ledit dispositif peut maintenir une apparence de surface, libérer de manière régulée les auxiliaires de rasage, réduire au minimum la dégradation desdits auxiliaires et empêcher les auxiliaires de rasage d'être piégés dans une bande. En outre, l'ajout d'additifs à point de fusion bas aux auxiliaires de rasage devient faisable et la compatibilité entre les auxiliaires de rasage et le vecteur desdits auxiliaires de rasage tel que du polystyrène dans le matériau composite de la bande lubrifiante devient moins critique.
