Abstract

A shaving blade member may include a first portion disposed in a first plane, wherein an end of the first portion includes a tapered cutting edge; a second portion extending from the first portion and disposed in a second plane, the second plane being at an angle with the first plane; wherein the second portion comprises one or more protrusions, the one or more protrusions being movable relative to the second portion.

Claims (26)

1. A shaving blade member, comprising:

a blade disposed in a first plane, wherein an end of the blade includes a tapered cutting edge;

a blade support extending from the blade and disposed in a second plane being at an angle with the first plane, the blade support including a bottom edge that is substantially parallel to the tapered cutting edge, wherein the blade support is formed from a first material; and

a second material integrally formed with at least a portion of the bottom edge, wherein the second material has a greater elasticity than the first material.

2. The shaving blade member of claim 1 , wherein the first material is metal, and the second material is a rubber or a polymer.

3. The shaving blade member of claim 1 , wherein the second material is integrally formed with an entirety of the bottom edge.

4. The shaving blade member of claim 1 , wherein the second material is formed on at least a portion of the bottom edge via an adhesive.

5. The shaving blade member of claim 1 , wherein the second material is overmolded onto at least a portion of the bottom edge.

6. The shaving blade member of claim 1 , wherein the blade support further includes a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, wherein the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge are substantially perpendicular to the bottom edge, and wherein the second material is formed on at least a portion of the first lateral edge and/or at least a portion of the second lateral edge.

7. The shaving blade member of claim 1 , wherein a length of the second material is parallel to a length of the bottom edge.

8. The shaving blade member of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the second material in a shaving direction is the same as a thickness of the blade support in the shaving direction.

9. The shaving blade member of claim 8 , wherein the second material is integrally formed with an entirety of the bottom edge of the blade support.

10. A shaving blade member, comprising:

a blade disposed in a first plane, wherein an end of the blade includes a tapered cutting edge;

a blade support extending from the blade and disposed in a second plane being at an angle with the first plane, the blade support including a bottom edge that is substantially parallel to the tapered cutting edge, wherein the blade support is formed from a first material; and

a second material extending along a substantial entirety of the bottom edge, wherein the second material has a greater elasticity than the first material.

11. The shaving blade member of claim 10 , wherein a length of the second material is parallel relative to the bottom edge.

12. The shaving blade member of claim 10 , wherein a thickness the second material in a shaving direction is the same as a thickness of the blade support in the shaving direction.

13. A shaving blade member, comprising:

a blade disposed in a first plane, wherein an end of the blade includes a tapered cutting edge;

a blade support extending from the blade and disposed in a second plane being at an angle with the first plane, the blade support including a bottom edge that is substantially parallel to the tapered cutting edge, wherein the blade support is formed from a first material; and

a second material extending along at least a portion of the bottom edge,

wherein the second material has a greater elasticity than the first material and the second material is configured to remain attached to the bottom edge upon removal of the shaving blade member from a shaver head.

14. The shaving blade member of claim 13 , wherein the second material extends along an entirety of the bottom edge of the blade support.

15. The shaving blade member of claim 13 , wherein a length of the second material is parallel relative to the bottom edge.

16. The shaving blade member of claim 13 , wherein a thickness the second material in a shaving direction is the same as a thickness of the blade support in the shaving direction.
