| 20110293872 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF RAZOR HEAD COMPONENT, AND COMPONENTS THUS MANUFACTURED - A method of manufacturing a razor head component that includes the steps of: providing a strip of material elongated along a first direction, the strip having first and second edges parallel with the first direction; having a first portion that includes a first edge, a second portion having a second edge, and an intermediate portion intermediate the first and second portions; bending the intermediate portion of a part of the strip about a bending axis parallel to the first direction; and fixing a razor blade onto the second portion of the part. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110252646 | RAZOR HANDLE HAVING A PIVOTABLE RETRACTABLE SHAVING HEAD CARRIER AND RAZOR HAVING SUCH A HANDLE - A razor handle that includes a housing having a recess, and a razor head carrier which is pivotally mounted in the housing between a first position in which the razor head carrier is retracted inside the recess, and a second position in which the razor head carrier is extended out of the recess. A biasing mechanism biases the razor head carrier in the direction of the shaving position and a retaining mechanism is able to retain the razor head carrier in the non-shaving position. The razor handle includes a damping arrangement that is able to limit the speed of a movement of the razor head carrier from the non-shaving position to the shaving position. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110239475 | RAZOR HANDLES TO BE RELEASABLY CONNECTED TO SHAVING CARTRIDGES AND RAZORS INCLUDING SUCH HANDLES - A razor handle including an elongated handle body that terminates in a flexible yoke for receiving and releasably retaining a shaving cartridge. The razor handle further includes a slide element that cooperates with the yoke and is connected to the handle body, where the slide element is movable relative to the handle body between a rest position (in which the yoke is open and can releasably retain a shaving cartridge received in the yoke) and a release position (in which the yoke is flexed and can receive a shaving cartridge or release a shaving cartridge received in the yoke). Further, the razor handle includes a spring member to return the slide element from the release position to the rest position. Additionally, the razor handle includes a stop element to prevent the yoke from inadvertently flexing when the slide element is in the rest position. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110119922 | PROCESS AND STATION FOR MANUFACTURING A SAFETY RAZOR CARTRIDGE, AND SAFETY RAZOR CARTRIDGE - A process for manufacturing a safety razor cartridge that includes providing an assembly having a platform having a top face, the platform including a cap portion and two lateral side portions, at least one cutting member extending between the lateral side portions of the platform, the cutting member being supported by the platform, the cutting member being movable with respect to the platform, the platform and cutting member cooperating to guide a movement of the cutting member with respect to the platform, a cover having a bottom face facing the top face of the platform. The cover includes a cap portion that covers the cap portion of the platform and two lateral side portions that cover the lateral side portions of the platform. The cover is welded to the platform by applying an ultrasonic beam to a plurality of discrete locations of the assembly. | 05-26-2011 |
