  • the invention relates to novel razor cartridge packaging which includes connected plastic containers having individual removable plastic covers. Each container is capable of storing at least one razor cartridge and at least one cover is removably attached to a top perimeter of each of the connected containers.
  • a quadruple razor cartridge package 10 including formed or molded plastic first, second, third and fourth containers, 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d, respectively, covers or cover sheets 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d for each container respectively capable of covering razor cartridges 16a, 16b, 16c, 16d, respectively which are stored within storage regions inside containers 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d, respectively.
  • Containers 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d may be substantially identical to each other. Containers 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d may also assist in protecting the razor cartridges both mechanically and environmentally as will be described in more detail below. Covers 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d assist in protecting the enclosed razor cartridges from the environment and allow for each individual razor cartridge to be opened individually.
  • the covers may each comprise a separate tab, notch, clip or any type of extension 11a, lib, 11c, l id from the covers on one end or outside corner of the respective cover or container.
  • the cover sheets 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d by peeling back the cover sheets 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d (by use of the tabs 11a, lib, 11c, l id if present) a consumer is able to individually open the containers 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d to access each razor cartridge as it is needed.
  • the razor cartridges are stored such that the blade cutting edge portion (not shown) of each razor cartridge is not at the area of access so as to protect a consumer from unintended contact with the cutting edges of the razor blades.
  • each of the containers 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d outlines the general shape of a razor cartridge. These shapes may be wider than the actual periphery of the razor cartridge within the storage regions such that a consumer can easily access the cartridge once the cover is peeled back or taken off.
  • Covers 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d may be individually adhesively sealed with a material around the top periphery of containers 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d of package 10 via heat and pressure or via any other suitable manner.
  • separability lines 13a, 13b, 13c between the adjacent covers, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • separability line 13a is disposed between covers 14a and 14b; separability line 13b is located between covers 14b and 14c; and separability line 13c is located between covers 14c and 14d.
  • These separability lines may include perforations or continuous slits or any other means to allow for easy removal and to provide the peeling off of one cover at a time.
  • the containers of the present invention may be covered by one cover or cover sheet across the entire package 10 where the cover peel back may still occur to expose individual cartridges at a time along separability lines 13a, 13b, 13c which again may include perforations or continuous slits.
  • An embodiment of the present invention depicting one cover sheet is shown in FIG. 4.
  • Covers 14a, 14b, 14c, and 14d may be made of any generally flexible, impermeable material, multilayered laminate or any type of plastic, such that each cover or cover sheet prevents the contents of the container from coming out while also preventing environmental elements from entering the container.
  • a cardboard type material for the cover sheet might not serve this purpose.
  • the covers should desirably be made of a sturdy and robust material so as to also prevent any stabs or jabs from puncturing or making holes in the covers (e.g., cover sheets or cover seal).
  • the dispenser 20 shown in FIG. 2 includes covers 24a, 24b, 24c, and 24d which may be made of a hard, less flexible plastic while still providing access to each individual cartridge (cartridge 16a shown exposed).
  • the covers in FIG. 2 depending on the material they are made from, may or may not be capable of being peeled back or off as in FIG. 1. If the covers are of a hard plastic as shown in FIG. 2 they may be lifted off or opened (e.g., like a door) rather than peeled off. They may be lifted off from one or more sides and may be mechanically or otherwise attached to the individual containers 21a-d; for instance via hinges 23a-d. As shown in FIG. 2, the covers 24a-d have tabs or clips 22a-d which may be used by the consumer to lift off the cover.
  • the covers of FIGs. 1 and 2 may or may not be taken off completely. Desirably however the opening provided by removing or lifting the cover (whether capable of coming completely off the container or not) should be adequate to allow access to the razor cartridge disposed inside.
  • a less flexible, but not very hard plastic may be used as a cover material, and as such, the covers in FIG. 2 may be formed of such a plastic allowing for the capability of being adhesively sealed. As discussed above in conjunction with FIG. 1, it follows that therefore a peel back may occur for removal that there may or may not be separability lines (e.g., perforations or slits).
  • the covers or cover sheets of the present invention may be transparent, opaque, colored or any combination thereof. With a transparent or partially transparent cover sheet, a user is able to view the razor product at the point of purchase while still providing mechanical and environmental protection to the cartridge simultaneously.
  • the covers of FIGs. 1 and 2 may be formed such that they reseal or close back down (e.g., reclosable) onto the containers of FIGs. 1 and 2, respectively, as a means of storing the razor cartridge within the package for the next shave if desired.
  • a consumer wants to protect the razor cartridge while traveling or when transporting the razor (e.g., to the gym), it may be beneficial for the covers to be reused or closed back down on the individual containers. In this way, the containers are capable of also being used as protective storage for the razor cartridges.
  • an aspect of the tabs may provide a way for tacking the cover sheets 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d or covers 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d back down at each corner or upon any area of the periphery of the container.
  • the underside of the tabs or clips may have a glue, button, snap, or Velcro® fastener or the tab itself may be substantially a button, snap, or Velcro fastener (not shown).
  • the containers in the present invention may be formed or molded using a plastic such as a polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) or any other suitable plastic, elastomer, or derivative thereof.
  • a plastic such as a polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) or any other suitable plastic, elastomer, or derivative thereof.
  • the polypropylene material is generally a thick material and in many instances, thicker than thermoformed PET material and therefore provides both mechanical and environmental protection as described above for the razor cartridges inside the dispenser.
  • a container made of cardboard or paper may not be as effective at protecting mechanical aspects of the razor nor preventing environmental entrants. Accordingly, if the container were made with cardboard it may also need additional materials to make the container more robust, such as combining with plastics or other types of materials.
  • the present invention keeps the natural or neutral position of the pivot point and other mechanical attributes intact after the razor cartridge is placed in its individual storage area in the dispenser.
  • the package can sustain significant outside forces, pressure, drops, etc. and will remain intact, as well as inhibit movement of the razor cartridge inside.
  • the razor cartridge is functional and the consumer is not disappointed at the time of use.
  • the containers in the present invention may be transparent, opaque, colored or any combination thereof. With a transparent or partially transparent container, a user is able to view the razor product at the point of purchase while still providing protection to the cartridge.
  • FIGs. 1 and 2 of the present invention may have packages that are manufactured or integrally molded as a single component such that the individual containers are attached but are not removable or detachable from each other in that there is no capability to detach or tear-off one from the other.
  • the connected razor cartridge containers 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d of package 30 may be removably attached or removably secured to each other along container separability lines 33a, 33b, 33c located for instance between containers 32a and 32b, 32b and 32c, and 32c and 32d, respectively, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the container separability lines allow containers to be individually separated or detached from the other containers. For instance, as shown in FIG. 3, a consumer could tear off or separate container 32a from the remaining connected containers 32b, 32c, and 32d of package 30 by detaching container 32a from container 32b at separability line 33a. In this way, a consumer can travel with one container only if desired, leaving the rest of the containers connected and intact for later use.
  • the separation or detachment at container separability lines 33a, 33b, and 33c of one container from the other may be accomplished via mechanical means, such as with interconnections, interlocking arms or ribs, snap-off connections, hinges, pins, or openings, perforations or continuous slits formed via laser cutting or any other methods, all depending on the material and type of containers to be used. For instance, if containers 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d are made of a thicker polypropylene material, separating the containers via perforations, as discussed above with regard to the cover sheet separability lines 13a, 13b, 13c for cover sheets 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d may not be feasible.
  • cover separability lines 13a, 13b, 13c may or may not be formed at the same time or via the same means as the container separability lines 33a, 33b, and 33c.
  • the cover sheet separability lines 13a, 13b, 13c may be desirably substantially aligned on top of the container separability lines 33a, 33b, and 33c respectively, as shown in FIG. 4, allowing for a cleaner break or separability of one container from the other.
  • FIG. 4 also shows an alternate embodiment of the present invention depicting one cover sheet 34 for covering all the individually connected containers 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d of package 40.
  • the mechanical protection in the present invention includes protecting the mechanical aspects of the razor cartridge, such as the pivot mechanism and/or leaf springs.
  • the mechanical aspects of the razor cartridge such as the pivot mechanism and/or leaf springs.
  • one important mechanical aspect of a non-disposable razor such as the Gillette® Venus® BreezeTM, is its pivot point and/or leaf spring mechanism of the cartridge. It is desirable to keep the natural position of the pivot points intact from the time the products are placed in the package, along the shipping path from the manufacturer to the retail store, and finally to the consumer's home.
  • the natural position is the position of the cartridge pivot point is the position having no pressure or bias.
  • the package of the present invention may sustain significant outside force, pressure, drops, etc. and still remain intact, as well as inhibit movement of the razor cartridge inside. By keeping the razor cartridge intact, it is well protected during transport and storage. If the pivot point is somehow pushed, offset or forced to be disposed in a different position, it may cause the cartridge leaf spring to be compromised or damaged, and hence the razor cartridge may not be functional in turn leading to consumer disappointment at the time of use. Additionally, one important environmental aspect considered in the present invention is keeping any soap or lubricant (e.g., "soap wings" attached at top and bottom portions of a cartridge, such as the Gillette Venus Breeze cartridge) intact. Again, the packaging has to be able to sustain the environment and any weather related elements such that the soap wings are not compromised. For instance, steam, moisture, humidity and other environmental entrants can significantly affect the character or chemistry of the soap wings.
  • any soap or lubricant e.g., "soap wings" attached at top and bottom portions of a cartridge, such as the Gill
  • FIGs. 1-4 described above depict a "serial" type attachment (e.g., four containers in a row) while a "2x2" type cartridge container package 50 shown in FIG. 5 having razor cartridge containers 52a, 52b, 52c, and 52d and a three container package 60 of FIG. 6 with a container 62b opening with cover sheet 64b on an opposing side of the other containers 62a and 62c are also contemplated in the present invention.
