A subassembly for a shaving razor cartridge with a base having a front wall with a top surface and a rear wall with a top surface. At least one blade is mounted to the base between the front wall and the rear wall. The at least one blade has a cutting edge positioned at least 0.5 mm below a plane tangent to the top surface of the front wall and the top surface of the rear wall.

Razor cartridge

A shaving cartridge with a housing having a primary guard and a secondary cap. A bridge member is integrally molded with the housing. The bridge member has a plurality of spaced apart parallel ribs. The plurality of spaced part ribs define a primary cap surface and a secondary guard surface. A first blade having a cutting edge is mounted to the housing between the primary guard and the primary cap surface. A second blade having a cutting edge extending in a same direction as the cutting edge of the first blade is mounted to the housing between the secondary guard surface and the secondary cap. The cutting edge of the first blade and the cutting edge of the second blade define an interblade span greater than 3.0 mm. The plurality of spaced apart parallel ribs define a plurality of rinse openings extending through the bridge member.

Shaving razor cartridge

A razor cartridge including a housing; a trailing blade assembly mounted to the housing and including a trailing blade with a blade tip; a leading blade assembly mounted to the housing in front of the trailing blade assembly and including a leading blade with a blade tip; and a skin support element affixed to the leading blade assembly and extending towards the blade tip of the trailing blade assembly. A horizontal length of the skin support element may be greater than a distance from a trailing part of the skin support element to the blade tip of the trailing blade assembly.

Razor cartridge with one or more skin support elements

A subassembly for a shaving razor cartridge with a base having a front wall with a top surface and a rear wall with a top surface. At least one blade is mounted to the base between the front wall and the rear wall. The at least one blade has a cutting edge positioned at least 0.5 mm above a plane tangent to the top surface of the front wall and the top surface of the rear wall.

Method of assembling a razor cartridge

A shaving razor cartridge having a housing with a primary guard and a secondary cap. A bridge member is integrally molded as part of the housing. A plurality of spaced apart parallel ribs of the bridge member extend transverse to the cutting edge of the first blade. The plurality of spaced part ribs define a primary cap surface and a secondary guard surface. A first blade mounted to the housing between the primary guard and the primary cap surface. A second blade having a cutting edge extends in a same direction as the cutting edge of the first blade and is mounted to the housing between the secondary guard surface and the secondary cap. The plurality of spaced apart parallel ribs define a plurality of rinse openings extending thru the bridge member.

An adapter for coupling each of a razor handle and a razor cartridge together is provided. The adapter includes a cartridge engaging portion and a handle engaging portion. The handle engaging portion comprises at least one wall that defines a receptacle for receiving a razor handle and at least one handle protrusion extending from the at least one wall and configured to engage a central recess of a razor handle. The cartridge engaging portion is coupled with the handle engaging portion. The cartridge engaging portion comprises a stem that defines a first recess and a second recess for selectively engaging a first cartridge protrusion and a second cartridge protrusion and a tongue member slidably coupled with the stem and configured to contact a cartridge.

Adapter for a handle and a cartridge of different razor systems

A handle for a personal care system with a first end having a head configured to engage a shaving cartridge, a second end with a partially enclosed ring having a first arm with a first end facing a first end of a second arm to defines a gap having a width. The first and second arms define an undercut region below the gap. A lower surface extends between the partially enclosed ring and the head, wherein the lower surface and the partially enclosed ring are configured to receive a container.

Shaving razor system

Combined shaving razor cartridge and cover

In one aspect, the invention features, in general, a method of assembling a shaving razor cartridge by providing a housing having a primary guard and a secondary cap. A first blade having a cutting edge is mounted to the housing. A second blade having a cutting edge is mounted to the housing. A bridge member having a pair of spaced apart legs is mounted to the housing immediately between the first blade and the second blade. The first blade, the second blade and the bridge member are secured to the housing with at least one clip.

Method of assembling a shaving razor cartridge

A shaving cartridge with a housing, having a primary guard at a front of the housing and a secondary cap at a rear of the housing. A bridge member having a primary cap surface and a secondary guard surface is positioned between the primary guard and the secondary cap. The bridge member has a plurality of spaced apart ribs extending transverse to the cutting edge of the first blade and defining a plurality of openings. A first blade has a cutting edge. The first blade is mounted to the housing between the primary guard and the primary cap surface. A second blade having a cutting edge extending in the same direction as the cutting edge of the first blade is mounted to the housing between the secondary guard surface and the secondary cap. A width of the bridge member is about 2.5 mm to about 4 mm.

Shaving razor cartridge cover

A shaving cartridge with a housing, having a primary guard at a front of the housing and a secondary cap at a rear of the housing. A bridge member having a primary cap surface and a secondary guard surface is positioned between the primary guard and the secondary cap. A first blade has a cutting edge. The first blade is mounted to the housing between the primary guard and the primary cap surface. A second blade having a cutting edge extending in the same direction as the cutting edge of the first blade is mounted to the housing between the secondary guard surface and the secondary cap. A width of the bridge member is greater than 50% of an interblade span between the cutting edge of the first blade and the cutting edge of the second blade and the interblade span is greater than 3 mm.

In one aspect, the invention features, in general, a shaving razor cartridge with a housing having a primary guard at a front of the housing, a secondary cap at a rear of the housing and at least one spring member positioned between the primary guard and the secondary cap. A bridge member is positioned between the primary guard and the secondary cap. The bridge member has a primary cap surface and a secondary guard surface. A first blade having a cutting edge is mounted to at least one of the spring members between the primary guard and the primary cap surface. A second blade having a cutting edge is mounted to at least one of the spring members between the secondary guard surface and the secondary cap. The bridge member is mounted on a plurality of the spring members.
