Specific embodiment

Referring to Fig. 1, the perspective view of razor system 10 is shown.Razor system 10 may include with first end 14 and second The shank 12 of end 16.In certain embodiments, shank 12 may include for accommodating liquid (such as pre- shaving aid composition Or rear shaving aid composition) flexible tottle 18.Tottle is a kind of bottle (commonly used in catsup, shampoo etc.) Industrial word is uprightly placed in such a way that the top cover of end is directed downwardly.For example, " bottle " is upright with its mode of " bottom " under It places and distributes liquid from the opposed end (top) with top cover, " tottle " is uprightly put in such a way that its " top " is directed downwardly It sets, being somebody's turn to do " top " is to distribute liquid and the end with end cap.Shank 12 may also include the first end for being mounted to shank 12 14 connector 20 and the end cap 22 (for example, removable covering or flip lid) at the second end 16 of shank 12, with Prevent fluid from leaving shank 12.Razor cartridge 24 can be mounted to connector 20.Razor cartridge 24 may include top cover 26, prevent Guard 28 and blade 30, the blade have the cutting edge 32 being located between top cover 26 and protector 28.Top cover 26 and protector 28 can establish shaving plane P1 (i.e. the plane tangent with top cover 26 and protector 28).

Connector 20 may include the thumb pad 34 on the top surface 36 of shank 12 (for example, tottle 18), to be used for Receive and be properly located the finger or thumb of user.Thumb pad 34 can be circular and there is big radius to be used with receiving The finger of user is preferably maintained on thumb pad 34 by the thumb of person.For example, thumb pad 34 can have about 5mm to about 15mm's Radius.Thumb pad 34 can also have concave top surface 38 and leading edge 40.Razor cartridge 24 can be positioned on the leading edge 40 of thumb pad 34 Before (for example, to be conducive to the laying for direction during shaving by razor cartridge 24 towards another person's face).Spill table Face 38 can have the radian of upward direction and the radius with about 7mm to about 25mm.In certain embodiments, thumb pad 34 can Opening 42 is limited, which extends completely through the top surface 36 that thumb pad 34 arrives shank 12 (for example, tottle 18), thus The finger or thumb for allowing user are shelved on the deeper inside in thumb pad 34.The top of tottle 18 at the bottom of opening 42 Surface 36 may also provide for improving the cushion of comfort level.Although connector 20 is shown as razor cartridge 24 being attached to down Head bottle 18, but connector 20 can be used for for other personal care products being attached to tottle 18 or other fluid body distributors.

During the movement of the face of shaving another person, when nursing staff relocates shaved people, razor must It must be laid down repeatedly.When a people is in shaving oneself, they seldom put down razor between stroke.In general, user only exists Just razor is put down when they complete shaving oneself.Conventional razor system is designed to be sit horizontally on flat surfaces. However, this can lead to the pollution of razor.Used razor cartridge can carry blood-borne pathogens, and to nursing staff or Cross-infection risk is presented in other neighbouring individuals.This is particularly hazardous for the individual that immunity is suppressed.In addition, nursing Personnel are usually not necessarily at bathroom sink or table top shaving by nursing staff in the room by nursing staff.Therefore, Razor system, which may need to be shelved on, to be not easy on clean surface.

A referring to fig. 2 shows the razor system 10 of Fig. 1 in upright vertical position.When overturning for razor system 10 Bottle 18 be completely filled with when, razor system 10 can have mass centre " CM ".Mass centre " CM " can be located at razor system 10 Central longitudinal axis 44 (that is, along razor system 10 length extend approximate centre line) on.It can be complete in tottle 18 Entirely be full of or dummy status under calculate mass centre " CM ".For example, central longitudinal axis 44 can be by extending line from mass centre It is calculated to the center of bottom surface 50.It should be appreciated that mass centre " CM " is displaceable when removing liquid from tottle 18, So that razor system 10 is easier to tumble.In addition, the increased weight at the first end 14 of shank 12 is (for example, connector 20 With blade holder 24) it also may make razor system 10 to be easier to tumble.Tottle do not have generally be added to it is opposite with fluid openings The component of end, and therefore will not encounter tilt problem.

B referring to fig. 2 shows the razor system 10 in obliquity.The second end 16 of shank 12 can be shelved on flat On smooth surface, such as table top or desk.It such as will be described in greater detail below, razor system 10 is designed to allow to have about 10 degree to about 15 degree of inclination angle " α ", to prevent the contact of razor cartridge 24 from can shelve the surface of shank 12 thereon.In certain realities It applies in scheme, inclination angle " α " can be confirmed as across the central longitudinal axis 44 of mass centre " CM " and from the bottom of shank 12 The outer edge 48 (for example, end cap 22) on surface 50 extends through the angle between the line 46 of mass centre " CM "." α " can at inclination angle Be calculated as tottle 18 be completely filled with or dummy status under average value.In certain embodiments, razor system 10 can be Be completely filled with or dummy status under with about 10 grams to about 40 grams of quality.

The bottom surface 50 of shank 12 can be conducive to the stand up position that razor system 10 is maintained to setting.Bottom surface 50 It can be amplified to allow the anti-inclination of razor system 10 (for example, enabling bigger inclination angle).Razor system is typically not designed to Stand up position is erected in the case where not utilizing external support component (such as bracket).In addition, tottle is typically below down The bottom surface of the cross-sectional area of head bottle main body.For example, Fig. 3 A and 3B are shown with overturning with smaller bottom surface 56 The razor system 52 of bottle 54.Therefore, the inclination angle " β " of razor system 52 shown in Fig. 3 A and 3B is much smaller than shown in Fig. 2A and 2B The inclination angle " α " of razor system 10.As shown in Figure 3B, the inclination angle " β " of razor system 52 can be about 7 degree, such as from pass through overturn The central longitudinal axis 58 of mass centre " CM2 " and the outer edge 62 from bottom surface 56 of bottle 54 extend through mass centre What the line 60 of " CM2 " measured.The razor system (such as, razor system 10) of single use with tottle is more likely to due to phase To lesser tottle size (for example, accommodate less fluid and therefore quality is lower) and relatively bigger razor cartridge It tumbles with the weight of attachment component.In addition, lesser tottle usually has lesser bottom surface.

A and 4B referring to fig. 4 respectively illustrates the rearview and viewgraph of cross-section of razor system 10.End cap 22 can pass through pressure Conjunction, threaded connection, ultrasonic welding or other commonly known assemble methods are mounted to the second end 16 of tottle 18.It overturns Bottle 18 can limit the cavity 64 for accommodating such as pre- shaving composition of liquid or rear shaving composition.Tottle 18 can have positioned at one The fluid flow port 66 of a end and the sealing element 68 at opposed end.Tottle 18 can have in sealing element 68 and fluid flow port The maximum cross-section area between 66.The maximum cross-section area of tottle 18 is generally directed toward fluid flow port 66, because near sealing element 68 Cross-sectional area usually flatten and become smaller with allow tottle 18 seal.(for example, end cap 22) bottom surface 50 can have Greater than the contact area of the maximum cross-section area of tottle 18, to provide improved stability (obliquity resistance).Contact area can To be the projection occupied area of bottom surface 50.Therefore, recessed even if a part of bottom surface is not physically contacted with static surface Sunken, concave surface and opening may also will not reduce the contact area of bottom surface.

In certain embodiments, the ratio of the maximum cross-section area of the contact area of bottom surface 50 and tottle 18 can Greater than 1.0.For example, the ratio of the contact area of the maximum cross section and bottom surface of tottle 18 can be about 1.1 to about 9.0, And more preferably about 1.1 to about 2.0.It should be appreciated that contact area can indicate the overall occupied area of bottom surface 50.Cause This, opening or groove in bottom surface 50 can not change contact area.In certain embodiments, the contact of bottom surface 50 Area can be about 0.28cm²To about 14cm²。

Tottle 18 can have the edge 70 for the small cross sectional for being tapered to fluid flow port 66.End cap 22 can be positioned on edge To capture the larger lengths of tottle 18 and provide improved stability on 70.For example, end cap 22 can limit groove 72, the groove Be dimensioned so as to receive tottle 18 edge 70.Groove can have depth " d1 ", which is the height of end cap 22 At least the 20% of " h1 ".For example, depth " d1 " can be about the 50% to 75% of the height " h1 " of end cap 22.End cap 22 can have gradually It is reduced to the shoulder 74 of top edge 76.Shoulder 74 can provide grip area, so that user positions when keeping razor system 10 Their finger.In certain embodiments, shoulder 74, which can have, extends at least 1mm around tottle 18 (or end cap 22), and And the height h2 of more preferably at least 3mm.Razor system 10, which can have from the end of blade holder 24 25, extends to bottom surface 50 Overall length " L1 ".End cap 22 can be positioned in the length of tottle, which is the overall length " L1 " of tottle 18 At least 10%.For example, end cap 22 can be positioned in the length of tottle, which is the overall length " L1 " of razor system 10 About 10% to about 25% to further prevent tilting.
