The present disclosure pertains to a shaving head comprising a frame and one or more cutting members arranged between a leading longitudinal side and a trailing longitudinal side of the frame. One or more of the cutting members are movable in a direction orthogonal to a shaving plane. The shaving head comprises an actuator member, which is configured to retract one or more cutting members relative to the shaving plane in response to a pressure exerted on the actuator member.

A handle for a shaving razor in which the handle comprises a frame and a movable member assembly operably coupled to the frame such that the frame is disposed between the movable member assembly and where the movable member assembly upper and lower portions are configured to move both above and below the frame. The movement can be linear or rotational. The movable member assembly comprises one or more springs.

A shaving device comprising a head assembly having a support member and a blade cartridge. The support member is configured to be detachably coupled to a handle. The blade cartridge has a first and a second face wherein at least one of the first or second faces comprises at least one razor blade. The blade cartridge is configured to be rotatably coupled to the support member about a pivot axis such that the blade cartridge is pivotable by a user to select one of the first or second faces.

The present invention describes a novel spring mechanism for a razor. In the razor, the spring member may be disposed in a movable member assembly, portions of which may be used for ejection or pivoting. The spring may be fully encompassed within the assembly and be placed within supporting structures therein. The spring is a loop-shaped element having overlapping end portions with free distal ends. Alternately, the spring member is tear drop shaped loop shape with distal ends that are spaced apart. The spring may be disposed within a first and/or second movable member such as an eject button or a pivot member. A retarding structure on the spring provides a retarding force which is based on the interaction of the retarding structure with a protrusion on an assembly portion to keep the spring orientation intact. The spring is desirably comprised of stainless steel and is a flat wire.

A safety razor is provided having a blade head capable of having an adjustable angle relative to a grasping handle and an adjustability of tension of a pivot to the blade. The blade head is connected by an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the blade head that is substantially enclosed within a conduit formed within the grasping handle. The blade head is angularly adjustable between an angle >95° from a linear centerline of the handle to about 22° from the linear centerline of the handle. A blade head adapter may be further provided to allow for attachment and use of alternate existing blade head cartridges.

A razor cleaning assembly includes a razor that has a head and a handle. The head has a plurality of razor blades being disposed within the head. A cleaning unit is movably integrated into the head of the razor. The cleaning unit has a plurality of pushing elements that is each positioned between respective pairs of the razor blades. The cleaning unit is actuatable into a cleaning position having each of the pushing elements traveling between the respective pair of razor blades. In this way each of the pushing elements can push hairs out from between the respective pair of razor blades. The cleaning unit is biased into a retracted position having each of the pushing elements being retracted from between the respective pair of razor blades.

A grooming device. The grooming device includes a handle having a neck portion, a displacement sensor positioned within the neck portion, a housing portion, a coupling mechanism securing the neck portion and the housing portion to one another, and a power source positioned within the handle. The neck portion includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the neck portion having an implement connecting structure. The housing portion includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a location element. The proximal end of the housing portion is pivotably connected to the distal end of the neck portion about a handle pivot axis. As the neck portion pivots about the handle pivot axis relative to the housing portion, the displacement sensor detects displacement of the location element. A grooming implement is connected to the implement connecting structure.

A shaving razor having at least two independent blade assemblies coupled to substantially rigid linkages. The linkages each defining a pivot point between the two independent blade assemblies. A bridge spans between the linkages such that movement of the bridge causes pivoting about the pivot point enabling reciprocating motion of the blade assemblies where assemblies on opposite sides of the pivot point reciprocate in opposite directions.

A manual skiver (10) for precise removal of outside material from an elongated device, such as a medical catheter or the like, includes a longitudinal recess (11) in a planar bottom surface (24) at the front end, a transverse replaceable blade (28) therein, a removable cover (32), and a handle (22) extending from the back end thereof. A second embodiment (66) is also disclosed.

A connector for a razor handle having first and second arms, each arm including a fixed end, a terminal end where the terminal end has a razor cartridge engagement member movable from a capture position to a release position, a first surface and an opposed second surface. An activator having an activation element acts on each arm for moving the arms toward each other into the release position when the activator is activated, and a biasing member that acts on each arm for biasing the arms outwardly into the capture position. The activation element acts on the arms between the fixed end and the terminal end on the first surface of the arms and the biasing member acts on the arms between the fixed end and the terminal end on the second surface of the arms.
