A razor blade tool relating to overcoming single use shortcomings of current utility knives allows a user to select multiple razor blade positions. Each razor blade position allows a razor blade tool to be utilized for a different purpose, such as scraping, case cutting, twine cutting, and as a knife. Additional razor blades are stored in a razor blade tool in a manner that prevents the sharpened edges of razor blades from contacting side-walls of the storage area so that stored razor blades remain sharp and undamaged.

Multi-purpose razor blade tool

A razor blade cartridge is disclosed for wet shaving. The razor blade cartridge includes a platform member having a blade seat and a guard member. A plurality of first guard ribs are disposed on the platform member, and a first blade is disposed on the blade seat. A spacer is disposed on the first blade, and a plurality of second guard ribs is disposed on the spacer. A second blade is disposed on the spacer, and a cap member is disposed on the second blade. A plurality of third guard ribs is disposed on the cap member proximate the skin engaging edge of the second blade. The first, second and third guard ribs are arranged in a number of shapes and positions relative to each other, which assist the shaver in controlling blade exposure and shaving angle. Typically, the blade exposure is positive at the trough portion between the guard ribs, and negative at the tip portion an a shaving plane on skin engaging portion of the guard ribs.

Razor blade cartridge with guard ribs

Single edge scraper

A blade cartridge including one or more blades fixed between a platform member and a cap member. The present invention provides a novel blade cartridge including one or more protruding members, or guard ribs, positioned proximate the skin engaging edges of the blades such that a portion of the blade adjacent the guard ribs has a negative exposure. The guard rib preferably has an arcuate contact surface and is narrow in thickness in a direction along the skin engaging edge. Preferably a plurality of guard ribs are evenly positioned along the blade cartridge. In addition to the guard ribs on the platform member, the present invention further includes protruding members, or guard ribs, on the cap member. The guard ribs on the platform member are preferably aligned with and substantially continuous with the guard ribs on the cap member. In a further embodiment, the blade cartridge includes a spacer separating the first blade and a second blade. In this embodiment the spacer has protruding members, or guard ribs, positioned proximate the skin engaging edges of the first and second blades.

Package with holographic image generating decal

In order to depict features such as pivoting and/or the flexure of elements of an article or articles which are enclosed within a package, at least one holographic generating layer is disposed on the package to provide an enlarged highlighted view of a portion of an image which is printed on the surface of the package. In accordance with the invention, it is also possible to have two holographic image generating layers overlaid one on the other and adhered to the surface of a package. The outer layer permit the images produced by the underlying layer to be also viewed, although at different angles from the images produced by the upper or outer layer. This permits the simulation of different movements which are exhibited by the article or articles enclosed within the package.

Flexible surgical razor

A flexible surgical razor for removing organic tissue, such as lesions, moles, corns and the like, at or below the skin's surface. The surgical razor utilizes a flexible blade with a well-honed front edge and left and right gripping extensions formed attached to the left and right side edges of the blade, respectively. Each gripping extension includes an inner segment extending in the same plane as the blade, a middle segment extending at an upward angle away from the plane of the blade, and an exterior segment, with exterior gripping edges, extending at an intersecting angle with the middle segment. The gripping edges include a plurality of teeth in rows asymmetrically angled to the plane of the flexible blade for full and complete control of blade flexing. A flexible sheath is added to regulate the shape and extent of the blade's curvature. The user applies inward finger pressure to both gripping extensions simultaneously which bends the flexible blade in a curved fashion.

The front and rear edges of the gripping extensions run parallel to the front and rear edges of the blade. A flexible sheath is added to regulate the shape and extent of the blade's curvature. The user applies inward finger pressure to both gripping extensions simultaneously which bends the flexible blade in a curved fashion.
