Handle is provided for battery operated razors. In some implementations, the handle includes a simple, efficient mechanism for both securing a battery cover to the handle of a razor and at the same time providing a high reliability electrical contact between the battery and electronics of the razor. The mechanism includes a closing system, including a first conductive component slidably attached within the battery cover and biased toward a predetermined axial position, and a second conductive component secured to the interior wall of the grip portion. The first conductive component is configured to interact with the second conductive component and move axially within the battery cover during engagement of the battery cover with the grip portion.

Battery operated razor

Razor handles are provided for razors having a battery-powered functionality. Methods of manufacturing such handles are also provided. In one implementation, the handle includes a unitary grip portion constructed to receive a razor head at one end thereof, and a battery cover, mounted on the grip portion. The razor handle allowing for varying vibration settings.

A combination shaving and trimming device includes a handle having an upper end and lower end, a powered trimmer disposed adjacent the upper end, a wet-shaving razor attachment adapted for mounting over the trimmer onto the upper end of the handle. The combination shaving and trimming device includes alignment guides providing one way attachment of the wet-shaving razor attachment to the trimmer.

Combination shaving and trimming device

Razor handles are provided for razors having a battery-powered functionality. Methods of manufacturing such handles are also provided. In one implementation, the handle comprises: a load comprising a motor coupled to a power source; a user-operable switch for controlling energy flow between the power source and the load; a control logic; an arming circuit to prevent the user-operable switch from causing drainage of the power source; and a locking circuit that receives a switch signal from the user-operable switch and an arming signal from the arming circuit, wherein the locking circuit outputs a motor control signal to the control logic in response to the states of the switch signal and the arming signal, wherein the arming circuit comprises a timer for changing the state following lapse of a time interval and an arming switch having a first state and a second state.

A combination shaving and trimming device includes a handle having an upper end and lower end, a powered trimmer disposed adjacent the upper end, a wet-shaving razor attachment adapted for mounting over the trimmer onto the upper end of the handle. The wet-shaving razor attachment is removably connected to the trimmer via a releasable locking mechanism.
