Description

The invention relates to a razor for wet shaving with a single or double razor having a razor head which is arranged at the front end of a handle, wherein a plurality of razor blades are arranged on a common blade carrier rotatable about an axis evenly over its circumference, the cutting edges of the razor blades run parallel to this axis and the blade carrier with the razor blades can be rotated into the shaving position and locked there by means of a rotary knob located in the axis and arranged on the blade carrier.

Such a shaver with a so-called turret is known from DE-OS 19 49 400. It consists of a shaving head, which is arranged at the front end of a handle. In this shaving head, a blade support is rotatably mounted between the end walls of the housing and is distributed over its circumference with razor blades, the cutting edges of which run parallel to the axis of rotation of the blade support. The raiser blades can be either single razor blades or double razor blades. In order to be able to rotate the blade carrier with the razor blades about its axis of rotation, one of the axes of the blade carrier is extended outwards through the housing of the razor head and provided with a rotary knob at the free end. When a razor blade has been used up, the blade carrier is turned using the rotary knob until an unused razor blade is in the shaving position. In order to protect the blade carrier in the razor head, a catch is provided which consists of a spring which is arranged on the housing of the razor head and which engages in corresponding recesses corresponding to the positions of the razor blades in the blade carrier.

A disadvantage of this known razor is that the rotary knob is very difficult to operate, since it lies very close to the outer end wall of the housing of the razor head, so that the user's fingers cannot properly grasp the rotary knob. Only the fingertips can actuate the rotary knob and thus rotate the blade carrier, which is particularly difficult due to the relatively small diameter of the rotary knob. In addition, the latching of the blade carrier requires a relatively large amount of force in order to turn the blade carrier into a different position, so that the operation of the rotary knob is additionally made more difficult. A further disadvantage of the known razor is that the blade carrier can be rotated in both the one and in the other direction of rotation, so that the user does not know whether he is rotating in the correct direction of rotation when changing the razor blade. If it rotates in the wrong direction of rotation, it receives an already used razor blade instead of an unused one. A further disadvantage is that the user, even if he rotates in the correct direction of rotation, does not know when he has used up all the razor blades and is again at the beginning of the cycle.

Another disadvantage of the known razor is that it is very difficult to replace a used blade holder with a new one that has not yet been used. For this purpose, the front side walls of the housing must be removed from the known razor head, so that the blade carrier comes to rest and can be replaced with a new one. This is very difficult, particularly in view of the small dimensions of the shaving head and thus the side walls, and can only be carried out with a great deal of skill. In addition, when replacing the blade carrier, it must be handled so that there is a high risk of injury. In addition, the blade carrier is not protected when the razor is not in use, so that the cutting edges of the razor blades are free at all times, which is also the cause of the accident drive very much increased. For example, unintentional touching the razor head can result in very serious cuts.

Based on this, the object of the invention is to improve the handling of the known turret shaving apparatus and to simplify its construction.

The object is achieved according to the invention in that the rotary knob can be pulled out.

This has the advantage that after pulling out the rotary knob, it can be actuated very easily, since the user's fingers can grip it very well without only the fingertips being available. When the rotary knob is not in use, it is in its inserted position, so that it does not particularly interfere with the shaving process.

The rotary knob is preferably arranged at the free end of an actuating rod, which is displaceably mounted in a through-hole in the blade carrier and the other end of the actuating rod is provided within the blade carrier with a stop which is secured against rotation in the blade carrier. In this way, the knob can be pulled out very easily and is also able to transmit the entire torque to the blade carrier for the turning process.

With the invention it is further proposed that the blade carrier can only be rotated in a single direction of rotation.

This has the advantage that there is no risk that a razor blade that has already been used will turn back in due to incorrect rotation reaches the shaving position. Due to the possibility of turning only in one direction, the unused blade carriers are rotated one after the other into the shaving position. In this case, the first razor blade can be marked so that the user knows when the marking reappears that all razor blades have been used up and that he has to replace the blade carrier with a new one. Such a marking can be a color marking, for example.

In order to prevent the razor blades from running through again, a stop preventing further rotation after reaching the last razor blade that is still to be used can be provided instead after full rotation. In this way, the user is automatically signaled that he has just used up the last razor blade, since turning is no longer possible.

With the invention it is further proposed that the shaving head has an axis of rotation fastened only at one end and cantilevering freely at the other end, onto which the blade carrier can be attached.

In this way, a very simple exchange of a used blade holder for an unused one is possible. The used blade carrier only needs to be pulled off the axis of rotation and the new, unused blade carrier plugged on. This can be done in a very short time.

In a preferred development it is proposed that the axis of rotation has a spring projecting over the circumferential surface, that the spring engages in a circumferential recess in the interior of the blade carrier and that the circumferential recess has an essentially polygonal inner cross section in accordance with the arrangement of the razor blades on the blade carrier. Through the interaction of the spring with the polygonal inner cross section the blade carrier is first created in a very simple manner, which fixes the razor blades perfectly in their shaving position. In addition, the engagement of the spring in the circumferential recess in the interior of the blade carrier ensures that the latter is axially fixed on the axis of rotation. Nevertheless, after overcoming the spring resistance, the blade carrier can be removed from the axis of rotation in a very simple manner and a new, unused blade carrier can be attached.

In a preferred development, it is proposed that the shaving head or the blade carrier can be pivoted around the axis of rotation of the shaving head in areas around a fixed zero position. In this way an oscillating head effect is achieved which improves the shaving properties and the handling of the shaving apparatus.

Furthermore, a cover cap that can be plugged onto this in the longitudinal direction of the blade carrier is proposed in a preferred development. This serves to protect the razor blades from unintentional contact, for example.

The cover cap preferably has a latching lug that can be snapped into the corresponding blade holder by finger pressure. This has the advantage that the cover cap on the one hand serves to cover the blade carrier and thus the razor blades, and that on the other hand, by means of the cover cap, a blade carrier with used razor blades can be removed from the razor head in a simple manner without the blade carrier having to be touched directly, which is too Cuts can result. To replace the blade carrier, only the cover cap needs to be pushed onto it and the latching lug of the cover cap is snapped into the corresponding recess in the blade carrier by finger pressure. In this state it is Blade holder fixed within the cover cap and can be removed from the shaving head by means of this. In a corresponding manner, new and unused blade carriers can still be stored in cover caps. In this case, then only the cover cap with the blade carrier needs to be plugged onto the axis of rotation and the cover cap is then removed after the catch has been released, so that the new blade carrier is already in its final position in the shaving head.

With the invention it is further proposed that the blade carrier is wrapped with wire together with the razor blades.

The wire wrapping ensures very good protection against injuries if the cutting edge is touched unintentionally or if misfortune happens to the user during shaving, which would otherwise lead to a cut injury without the wire wrapping. Despite this wire wrapping, the shaving properties of the razor blades remain virtually unaffected. The wire also improves the attachment of the parts of the shaving head, which increases the accuracy of the assembled parts and results in a more uniform shaving quality.

The wire is preferably a metal wire and consists of copper, silver or stainless steel. Instead of the metal wire, the wire can also be a plastic fiber and is in particular a polyamide, polyethylene, polystyrene, vinylidene-vinyl chloride copolymer, acrynitrile copolymer, rubber-elastic polyurethane or polyterephthalic acid ester.

In a further preferred embodiment, the wire can be provided with a coating which reduces friction and serves as a lubricant. This coating can in particular consist of a water-soluble polymer, in particular polyethylene oxide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, methyl cellulose or poly vinyl methylene ether exist. Instead of the water-soluble polymer, the coating can also consist of a water-absorbing but not water-soluble material, for example polyvinyl alcohol fibers or PUR-polyvinyl interpolymer. The use of such a lubricant to reduce the friction of the wires ensures that they slide over the skin of the user without resistance during shaving and thus do not impair the shaving process. When using a water-soluble polymer as a lubricant, the adhesion and the cohesion of this water-soluble polymer must be adjusted so that water and pressure must come together for the detachment. The water is used to release the water-soluble polymer, while the pressure ensures the necessary abrasion and thus realizes the lubrication.

The wire preferably has a diameter of less than 0.1 mm.

In order to hold the wire securely in position, it is proposed according to a further feature of the invention that recesses are provided in the blade carrier or in the razor blades, in which the wire runs. Lateral displacement is prevented by guiding the wire in the recesses. The wire can also be glued to the razor blade body.

Furthermore, the application of this wire wrap is generally proposed for razor blades with the invention. This wire wrap is therefore not only limited to the so-called turret razors, but can generally be used for any type of razor, i.e. also for the so-called disposable razors, where the razor blade is firmly embedded in the blade body, and also for the so-called reuse razors, in which the used ones Razor blades against new unused ones are exchanged. All of these shavers have the same benefits as just described.

With the invention it is further proposed that the blade carrier is equipped with narrow razor blades. Such narrow blades have a width of more than 2 mm and are a prerequisite for a turret size which allows four shavable units to be accommodated without the dimensions of the razor head making it difficult to shave even hard-to-reach places.

Since the unused razor blades are still exposed to the water and the shaving aids while the razor blade is in use, the quality of the razor blades must be such that their shaving performance is ensured. This is achieved according to a further feature of the invention in that the razor blades are made of a stainless material, especially stainless steel. In addition, the razor blades can also be hardened. The cutting edges of the razor blades are preferably also provided with a coating of noble metal, in particular chromium, and / or plastic, in particular PTFE. Finally, it is proposed in this connection that the metal open surfaces of the razor blades are surface-treated to reduce the adhesion for shaving aids and beard residues.

Finally, the invention proposes a dispenser for blade carriers for a razor of the type described above, which has compartments in which a blade carrier is arranged in each case, and which is characterized according to the invention in that the blade carriers in the compartments are only in a single position by means of the Shaving head are removable. To this This ensures that the correct position is set when a blade carrier that is still unused is removed from the dispenser without the blade carrier having to be rotated into the correct starting position. It is also possible to slide the blade carrier in use into the temporary protective position in the corresponding compartment in the dispenser without the risk that another position is set when the blade carrier is removed from its compartment.

In a preferred embodiment of the dispenser, it is proposed that the compartments are sleeve-shaped with an end-side compartment opening from which the blade carriers can be pulled out along their axis, and that at least one protruding web that prevents the razor head from being pushed open in this position is formed around the compartment opening is. The integrally formed web prevents the shaving head of the shaving apparatus from being pushed open in this specific position and the blade holder from being able to be removed from the compartment. Only one side of the compartment opening is provided without a web, so that this side allows the razor head to be pushed on.

Instead of this or also in addition, it is possible that the shaving head is angled with respect to the handle of the shaving apparatus in order to pull out the blade carriers from the compartments of the dispenser. By angling the shaving head can also be ensured by a suitable geometric arrangement of the compartments that the shaving head can only be pushed open in a very specific position and that the shaver abuts adjacent compartments at other positions and thus prevents being pushed onto the blade carrier.

Finally, with regard to the dispenser, it is proposed that one side wall of the compartments is each formed from a spring tongue. This ensures that the blades allow units to be removed from the compartments in a simple manner.

Various technical solutions have just been described which improve the handling of the so-called turret shavers. The technical solutions can be used individually. However, they can also be used in any combination with one another.

The turret shaver shown in Fig. 1 consists of a handle 1 and a shaving head 2, which is arranged at the front end of the handle 1.

On an L-shaped extension 3 of the handle 1, an axis of rotation 4 is mounted extending transversely to the longitudinal extent of the handle 1, this axis of rotation 4 projecting freely, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 2. The handle 1, the continuation 3 and the axis of rotation 4 can be formed in one piece and consist, for example, of plastic or metal. A spring 5 is arranged in the axis of rotation 4 and projects beyond the circumferential surface of the axis of rotation 4 through a slot. This can also be seen in FIG. 2. This spring 5 can be pressed transversely to the longitudinal extent of the axis of rotation 4 into its interior.

A blade carrier 6 (in the drawing from the right) is attached to the axis of rotation 4. This blade carrier 6 has an essentially square cross section, a razor blade 7 in the form of a double razor blade being welded firmly onto each side surface. The cutting edges 8 of the razor blades 7 run parallel to the central axis of rotation 4.

An axis A is defined by the axis of rotation 4, about which the blade carrier 6 can be rotated with the razor blades 7, which is indicated by the arrow D.

To fix the blade carrier 6 on the axis of rotation 4 both in the axial direction of the axis of rotation 4 and in the rotational position, the blade carrier is provided with a circumferential recess 9 on the inside provided with a square cross section (FIG. 3), as can be seen in FIG. 2. This circumferential saving 9 abuts the end face of the spring 5 of the axis of rotation 4, so that the blade support 6 is thereby fixed in the axial direction. By overcoming the spring force of the spring 5, however, it can be pressed inward into the axis of rotation 4, so that the blade carrier 6 can be pulled off the axis of rotation 4. Accordingly, a new blade carrier 6 can be fixed in position after being pushed onto the axis of rotation 4.

Due to the square cross-sectional shape of the circumferential recess 9, the spring 5 always comes to rest in the corners, so that in addition an angular adjustment of the blade carrier 6 on the axis of rotation 4 is also realized. This latching defines the shaving position of the blade carrier 6 and thus the razor blades 7.

In order to be able to rotate the blade carrier 6 on the axis of rotation 4, a rotating device 10 is provided. This consists of a rotary knob 11 outside the blade carrier 6. This rotary knob 11 lies in the axis A or in the extension of the axis of rotation 4. The rotary knob 11 is provided with an actuating rod 12 which is penetrated through a bore 13 on the end face of the blade carrier 6 protrudes axially. The end of the actuating rod 12 located inside the blade carrier 6 is provided with a stop 14 which has a non-round cross-sectional shape and is square in the exemplary embodiment shown. The inner contour of the blade carrier 6 is adapted to this cross-sectional shape of the stop 14, so that the stop 14 is arranged in the blade carrier 6 such that it cannot rotate.

In the rest position, the rotary knob 11 is in the inserted position (solid line in Fig. 2). If the blade carrier 6 is to be rotated into the next position, the rotary knob 11 is pulled out, which is indicated by the arrow P. is, the drawn position is shown in dashed lines. Due to the non-rotatable arrangement of the stop 14 in the blade carrier 6, the blade carrier 6 can be rotated into the next position of the razor blade 7 by turning the rotary knob 11. When the turning process has ended, the rotary button 11 is pushed in again (from right to left in the drawing).

In Fig. 1 it is indicated that the blade carrier 6 is spirally wrapped by a wire 15, which preferably has a diameter less than 0.1 mm. This wire wrapping serves as protection against injury, the shaving properties of the razor blades 7 being fully retained.

The use of this wire wrap is not limited to the blade carrier 6 in such turret shavers. The wire wrap is equally applicable to any type of razor blades 7. In Fig. 6, a single razor blade 7 is shown purely by way of example, which is provided with such a wire wrap. To fix the wire 15, the razor blade 7 (or the blade carrier 6) can be provided with recesses, not shown, in which the wire 15 runs and thus protects it from displacement. In addition, the wire 15 can also be glued, welded or soldered to the razor blade 7. Such a razor blade 7 can then either be embedded in a razor blade unit, as is the case with the so-called disposable razors. However, the razor blade 7 can instead be replaced as a single piece in a corresponding razor head.

A cover cap 16 shown in FIG. 5 can be pushed onto the blade carrier 6 of the shaving head 2 as protection. This cover cap 16 has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the blade carrier 6 and is tubular, where one end is open and the other end is closed. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover cap 16 has a latching lug 17 which can be pressed down by finger pressure and can snap into a recess 18 in the blade carrier 6. In this way, by pulling off the cover cap 16, a blade carrier 6 with used razor blades 7 can be simultaneously removed from the axis of rotation 4 without the blade carrier 6 needing to be touched. The blade carrier 6 is arranged with its razor blades 7 in the cover cap 16. Conversely, new and unused blade carriers 6 can still be stored in corresponding cover caps 16 and thus pushed onto the axis of rotation 4 of the shaving head 2. By not actuating the latch 17, the cover cap 16 can then be removed from the blade carrier 6, the blade carrier 6 being fixed in its position on the axis of rotation 4.

7 shows a dispenser 19 for receiving individual blade carriers 6. This dispenser 19 consists of sleeve-shaped compartments 20, which only have a compartment opening 21 on one end face, which have a square shape. One side wall of the compartments 20 is designed as a spring tongue 23.

As can be seen in the illustrated embodiment, the compartments 20 of the dispenser 19 are joined together with their longitudinal edges and thus result in a zigzag-shaped outer contour. As can be seen in particular in FIG. 8, the two outer compartments around the compartment opening 21 are provided with webs 24, only the side wall 22 with the spring tongue 23 being left out. In particular, the back of the compartment 20 is provided with a stiffening part 25, which increases the stability of the dispenser 19.

Such a dispenser 19 can be placed on the shaving head 2 of the shaving apparatus only in a very specific position what is achieved by two measures. On the one hand, if the shaving head 2 is put on in the wrong position, the neighboring compartments 22 are in the way. This is the case, for example, in FIG. 8 when the shaving head 2 is to be plugged on by 90 ° counterclockwise, so that the handle 1 of the shaving apparatus then hits the front side of the right compartment 20 of the dispenser 19. The same also applies if the shaving head 2 is rotated 90 ° clockwise. On the other hand, this is achieved by means of the integrally formed webs 24. In this case, the distance between the axis of rotation 4 of the shaving head 2 and the continuation 3 on the handle 1 is too small for the shaving head 2 to be plugged onto the blade carrier 6. In this case, the front end of the handle 1 or the continuation 3 of the handle 1 would strike the web 24 or the stiffening part 25 and prevent it from being pushed open.

In the illustrated embodiment, the compartments 20 of the dispenser 19 are arranged edge to edge with a zigzag-shaped outer contour. Instead of this, other arrangements of the compartments 20 are also possible. It must only always be ensured that the shaving head 2 can only be plugged onto the blade carrier 6 from one side.
