RAZOR WITH BLADE HEATING SYSTEM

摘要

In a razor having a handle and a blade cartridge containing one or more blades, a system is provided for selectively heating the blades to a controlled temperature range. The blade heating system includes an electric circuit with a battery power source for controlled direction of current flow through the one or more blades in order to heat the blades. The electric circuit further includes an on/off switch, a visual indicator for indicating on/off status, a heat controller for selectively adjusting the temperature of the blades, and an automatic turn off switch for opening the circuit after an elapsed period for preserving battery life. In one embodiment, all of the components of the electric circuit are housed on the blade cartridge, with the battery power source, switches and heat controller contained within a waterproof casing. In another embodiment, all of the components of the electric circuit, with the exception of the one or more blades, are carried in the handle of the razor and an inductive coupling is provided at the connection of the handle and blade cartridge for electrically connecting the one or more blades to the electric circuit.
