Electric shaver with imaging capability
System and method for improving the shaving experience by providing improved visibility of the skin shaving area. A digital camera is integrated with the electric shaver for close image capturing of shaving area, and displaying it on a display unit. The display unit can be integral part of the electric shaver casing, or housed in a separated device which receives the image via a communication channel. The communication channel can be wireless (using radio, audio or light) or wired, such as dedicated cabling or using powerline communication. A light source is used to better illuminate the shaving area. Video compression and digital image processing techniques are used for providing for improved shaving results. The wired communication medium can simultaneously be used also for carrying power from the electric shaver assembly to the display unit, or from the display unit to the electric shaver.
Shaving razor handle
A shaving razor handle includes, a main body, a pair of arms extending from the main body, and a pivoting head. The pivoting head includes a base member and a biasing member. The base member is pivotally coupled with the pair of arms to facilitate pivoting of the pivoting head about a pivot axis between a home position and a fully pivoted position. The base member includes a front wall and a rear wall. The front wall includes a front exterior surface. The rear wall includes a rear exterior surface. The biasing member is operably coupled with the main body and is configured to bias the pivoting head into the home position.
Shaving razor cartridge and method of manufacture
A shaving razor cartridge with a housing molded from a first polymeric material and having a top surface and an opposing bottom surface. The housing has a wall partially defining an opening extending from the top surface to the bottom surface. The wall has a pair of arms each with a distal end extending toward each other defining a gap. A guard is toward a front of the housing. A cap is toward a rear of the housing. At least one blade is mounted between the guard and the cap. A bridge interconnects the distal ends. The bridge is molded from a second polymeric material that is different than the first polymeric material.
Nape hair shaving device
A nape hair shaving device for allowing a user to shave hair on a nape located behind the user's neck, comprising an arcuate shaving bar and a plurality of razors projecting therefrom to form a curved shaving arc which conforms to the shape of the user's neck. The user employs the shaving device by grasping the shaving device via a pair of grips with the arcuate shaving bar horizontally positioned therebetween, positioning the shaving arc above the nape, and making a shaving motion by drawing the shaving arc downwardly over the nape to cut the hair growing thereon. The arcuate shaving device is further flexible and is adapted to be bent inwardly or outwardly to selectively vary the size of the shaving arc. The plurality of razors are selectively detachable, allowing dulled razors to be removed and replaced.
SYSTEM FOR MEASURING PIVOT ANGLE OF SHAVER HEAD AND RELATED METHODS
A shaving system, comprising a shaver including a handle a cartridge having at least one blade, the cartridge pivotably connected to the handle about a transverse axis of the handle; and a biasing element connected to the handle and connected to the cartridge, the biasing element being configured to move along a longitudinal axis of the handle in response to the cartridge pivoting about; a sensor configured to determine a pivot angle of the shaver cartridge relative to the handle; and a processor configured to receive information about the movement of the biasing element and determine an angle between the cartridge and the handle about the transverse axis based on the information.
SHAVING DEVICE
The present invention is directed to a shaving device including a housing with a skin contacting surface and at least one cutting blade mounted in the housing, wherein the at least one cutting blade has an asymmetric cross-sectional shape with a first face, a second face opposed to the first face as well as a cutting edge at the intersection of the first face and the second face. The blade is mounted in the housing such that the clearance angle α between the skin contacting surface and the primary bevel of the first face or the secondary bevel of the second face is ≤11°, the effective cutting angle ε between the skin contacting surface and the bisecting line of the first wedge angle θ.sub.1 between the first surface and the primary bevel is ≥10° and θ.sub.1>second wedge angle θ.sub.2 between the first surface and secondary bevel.
HAIRCUTTER FOR TRIMMING AND STYLING HAIR OF THE HEAD
A haircutter (1) comprises a blade head (2), a grip, (10) and a haircutting blade (4) comprising a cutting edge (14) accommodated in the blade head (2). The blade head (2) comprises two blade head sections (201, 202) removably coupled to one another by means of a blocking device (200). The blocking device (200) comprises a locking mechanism (203) operable by an operating member (204). The operating member (204) is provided by at least part of the grip (10). Actuating the operating member (204) causes the locking mechanism (203) to shift from an operating position to an off position, to allow releasing the coupled blade head sections (201, 202) from one another.
RAZOR HEADS, KITS, RAZORS & METHODS COMPRISING THE SAME
A razor head comprises a frame. The frame comprises a leading longitudinal member and a trailing longitudinal member. The razor head further comprises a plurality of substantially parallel cutting members disposed between the leading longitudinal member and the trailing longitudinal member, and a cutting member support arranged in the frame, wherein the cutting member support is coupled to the plurality of cutting members. The cutting member support is configured to displace at least one cutting member of the plurality of cutting members from a default position to at least one predetermined deviating position based on an external stimulus.
Razor With Adjustable Blades
A razor for grooming purposes that differs from other razors by having adjustable blades, which allow for shaving in an up direction where a non-adjustable razor would have to be physically positioned to shave in an up direction or any other direction. Additionally, the adjustable blades allow for faster cleaning as opposed to current razors.
Shaving blade assemblies
The present disclosure is related to shaving blade assemblies comprising a housing having at least one cavity; a shaving aid support having one or more lubricating elements thereon, the shaving aid support being rotatably attached to the housing about a center axis, wherein at least a shaft portion of the shaving aid support is disposed in the at least one cavity of the housing.
