According to an aspect, a writing instrument is provided. The writing instrument includes a reservoir for storing writing ink, a nib arranged distally to the reservoir and in fluid communication with the reservoir, a porous membrane or mesh surrounding at least a distal portion of the nib, wherein, in a writing position, the porous membrane or mesh is configured to contact the nib, thereby allowing ink to penetrate through the porous membrane or mesh.

A coupling mechanismcomprising a first coupling elementhaving a first engagement surfaceconfigured to pivot about a pivot axis located external to the coupling mechanism, a second coupling elementincluding a second engagement surfaceconfigured to come into contact with the one or more first engagement surface, the second coupling element being capable of moving from a first position to a second position and from the second position to the first position, a third coupling elementconfigured to support the first coupling element and the second coupling element, a stoppositioned inwardly of the first coupling element configured to impede pivoting of the first coupling element. The stop impedes pivoting of the first coupling element when the second coupling element is in the first position and the stop no longer impedes movement of the first coupling element when the second coupling element is in the second position.

A blade storage system for a refillable shaving head including a guard and a cover movable with respect to the guard between a retaining position, in which the cover and guard are able to retain a blade between them and a releasing position. The blade storage system including: a dispensing portion configured to retainably connect the blade to the cover of the head, and a removing portion configured to disconnect the blade from the cover. The removing portion is configured to disconnect the blade from the cover by moving the blade with respect to the cover along a bearing direction, along which the cover is configured to bear on the blade during retention of the blade to the head, and/or the dispensing portion is configured to connect the blade to the cover by moving the blade with respect to the cover opposite to the bearing direction.

A handle for razor is made of polylactic acid (PLA) and another bioplastic polymer such as polybutylene adipate terephtalate (PBAT), bio-polyethylene (bio-PE), and polybutylene succinate (PBS), combined with mineral fillers selected from the group of calcium carbonate and shells of shellfish, such as oyster shells or scallop shells.

A shaving blade cartridge may include a housing and at least one cutting blade mounted in a blade receiving section of the housing between first and second lateral sides of the housing, wherein the at least one cutting blade is movably supported by fingers such that the at least one cutting blade can move from a first position to at least one second position, wherein one or more fingers is designed such that the cutting blade is supported by at least one first contact point or area of the finger when the at least one cutting blade is in the first position, and in that the at least one cutting blade is supported by at least one second contact point or area of the finger when the at least one cutting blade is in the second position.

A shaving blade cartridge may include a housing and at least one cutting blade mounted in a blade receiving section of the housing between first and second lateral sides of the housing, wherein one or more cutting blades is movably supported by fingers such that the at least one cutting blade can move from a first position to at least one second position, wherein one or more fingers are designed such that the at least one cutting blade is supported by at least one first contact point or area of the finger when the at least one cutting blade is in the first position, and in that the at least one cutting blade is supported by at least one second contact point or area of the finger when the at least one cutting blade is in the second position.

A cartridge for a razor comprises at least one blade and a first blade support configured to attach the at least one blade to the cartridge. The first blade support includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, a first optical feature provided on one or more of the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion. The first optical feature is selected from one or more of a color, a coating, a texture, a perforation, a transparency of the blade support, a light emitting source, a protrusion and a sticker.

A writing instrument according to the present disclosure comprises a main body, a writing tip and a cap, wherein the cap is designed to be secured tightly on the main body such that the writing tip is covered by the cap. The cap comprises of an inner core and an outer layer, wherein a material of the outer layer is softer compared to a material of the inner core. With that, it is possible to design an air-tight (or almost air-tight) fitting cap for a writing instrument. With the softer outer layer of the cap, it is achieved that a user chewing on the cap has a reduced risk of damaging his/her teeth. In addition, although a membrane within the cap may still be present, such membrane is no longer necessary. The membrane may be an additional barrier contributing further to the air-tight effect of the cap that is present within the cap.

Writing instruments

A shaving system has a shaver having a handle, a razor cartridge including at least one blade, at least one sensor associated with the at least one blade and configured to detect a pressure applied to the at least one blade, and at least one resilient element associated with the at least one blade. The at least one resilient element is configured to deform in response to the pressure applied to the at least one blade and/or the at least one resilient element has an adjustable modulus of elasticity. The shaving system further including a processor operably coupled to the at least one resilient element; and a controller operably coupled to the processor that is configured to generate a signal to adjust the modulus of elasticity of the at least one resilient element.

Adjustable shaver cartridges and methods thereof

The disclosure deals with a lubricative skin engaging member with progressive release of lubricating polymer from a water-insoluble matrix containing thermoplastic elastomer compound and maleic anhydride copolymer and lubricating polymer in concentration less than 30%. The disclosure lies in the use of the maleic anhydride in grafted form on polyethylene and the incorporation of water-soluble lubricating polymer in concentration less than 30% in the thermoplastic elastomer compound, leading to a lubricative mixture, and to a skin engaging member, with increased homogeneity and water absorption ability that assist in the lubricating polymer release in a progressive and controllable manner.
