SPACER FOR RAZOR BLADE WITH VIBRATION
A razor blade assembly with a vibration feature includes a head having a blade assembly having one or more cutting blades connected to a handle. The head has a spacer to space the cutting blades from a user's skin and to create and maintain a 5 o'clock shadow beard or a stubble beard. The handle houses a vibration mechanism which is operated by a motor to cause vibration of at least one of the head and the handle.
1 . A razor blade assembly with a vibration feature comprising:
a head comprising a blade assembly comprising one or more cutting blades connected to a handle;
wherein said head comprises a spacer to space said one or more cutting blades from an associated user's skin and to create and maintain a 5 o'clock shadow beard in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm in thickness;
wherein said handle houses a vibration assembly to cause vibration of at least one of said head and said handle; and a motor for operating said vibration assembly.
2 . The razor blade assembly of claim 1 , wherein said handle further comprises an activator button which selectively powers said motor to cause said vibration assembly to spin thus causing vibration.
3 . The razor blade assembly of claim 2 , wherein said vibration assembly comprises a first vibration member which spins during operation and a second vibration member which is in contact with said head.
4 . The razor blade assembly of claim 3 , wherein said first vibration member contacts a portion of said handle thereby said vibrating said handle.
5 . The razor blade assembly of claim 1 , wherein said spacer comprises a cap which is adapted to space cutting edges of said blades from the associated user's skin.
6 . The razor blade assembly of claim 5 , wherein said cap is removably attached onto said head.
7 . The razor blade assembly of claim 6 , wherein said cap comprises a first side wall, a second side wall, a top wall and a bottom wall, wherein said side walls are parallel to each other and said top and bottom walls are perpendicular to said side walls.
8 . The razor blade assembly of claim 7 , wherein said cap further comprises a plurality of ribs extended between said top wall and said bottom wall wherein said ribs space said blades from an associated surface to the shaved.
9 . The razor blade assembly of claim 8 , wherein said cap is tapered between said top wall and said bottom wall.
10 . The razor blade assembly of claim 5 , wherein said cap comprises a first member and a second member hingedly connected to said first member.
11 . The razor blade assembly of claim 8 , wherein said ribs have a thickness in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm and are adapted to create and maintain a beard thickness in a range of 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm.
12 . The razor blade assembly of claim 8 , wherein said ribs have a thickness in the range of 0.45 mm to 1.25 mm and are adapted to create and maintain a beard thickness in a range of 0.45 mm to 1.25 mm.
13 . A method of creating and maintaining a shave appearance on the skin of a user using vibration; comprising the steps of:
providing a manual razor blade assembly having a head comprising blades;
providing a spacer which is mounted to and positioned over said head to space said blades from said skin to create and maintain a 5 o'clock shadow shave appearance in the range of 0.1 mm thickness to 0.4 mm thickness; and
providing a handle having a vibration mechanism housed therein for providing vibration to at least one of said head and said handle.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein said spacer comprises a first side wall, a second side wall, a rear wall and a front wall, wherein said side walls are parallel to each other and said rear and front walls are parallel to each other.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein said spacer further comprises a plurality of ribs extended between said rear wall and said front wall wherein said ribs space cutting edges of said blades from and the skin of the user.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein said ribs have a thickness in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm.
17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein said ribs have a thickness of 0.45 mm to 1.25 mm.
18 . The method of claim 13 , wherein said spacer is hingedly mounted to said head.
19 . The method of claim 13 , wherein said vibrating mechanism comprises a first vibrating member which is operated by a motor actuated by a switch wherein said first vibrating member rotates thereby vibrating said handle.
20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein said vibrating mechanism comprises a second vibrating member connected to said first vibrating member which contacts said head thereby vibrating said head.
