Shaving assembly
View Patent ↗A shaving assembly having plural independent flexibly mounted cartridges. The assembly comprises a cartridge support including two flexible cross members at opposing ends of a bridge member each at one of a pair of attachment points. The cross member is flexible into either a convex or a concave orientation about the respective attached point. The assembly further comprises a plurality of cartridges each including a carrier and at least one blade, each cartridge independently coupled to the cross members in a parallel relation to each other cartridge to the cross members.
1. A shaving assembly featuring a multiplicity of blades, comprising:
a plurality of cartridges each bearing at least one blade;
a handle interconnect having two ends;
a blade cartridge support with two ends, each end of the blade cartridge support engagable with the plurality of cartridges and bridging between the cartridges and the handle interconnect;
the handle interconnect further including at least one resilient member on each end of the handle interconnect engageable with said cartridge support, each pair of resilient members defining a range of motion of a single cartridge of the plurality of cartridges; and
wherein the ends of said cartridge support are articulated facilitating their curving about an axis parallel to a long dimension of the cartridges.
2. The assembly as in claim 1 wherein the plurality of cartridges comprises three cartridges.
3. The assembly as in claim 1 wherein the number of said at least one resilient member on each ends of said handle interconnect equals to the number of the cartridges minus one.
4. An assembly featuring a multiplicity of blades, comprising:
at least one cartridge, with at least one blade, mutually engageable with at least one other cartridge and separately engageable with a cartridge support;
a handle interconnect;
a blade cartridge support having two ends, each end engagable with said at least two cartridges and bridging between said cartridges and the handle interconnect;
wherein the ends of said cartridge support are articulated facilitating their curving about an axis parallel to a long dimension of the blade.
5. The assembly as in claim 4 , wherein said cartridges are made of resilient material.
6. The assembly as in claim 4 , wherein at least one of said cartridges further comprises a lubricating strip, disposed adjacent a blade of said at least one cartridge, in front of said blade.
