Razor

摘要

A razor head (2) has mutually spaced blade members (7) with straight front cutting edges (8) which are mutually parallel and lie in a cutting plane (12). The blade members (7) are curved. Imaginary median surfaces (16) of the blade members (7) are continuously curved in the same sense away from the cutting plane (12), from the cutting edges (8) toward the rear edges. The handle (1) has a pair of fork arms (6), the distal ends of which are connected to the head at positions adjacent the respective ends of the head (2). Each fork arm (6) has a groove (49) allowing pivoting of the distal end about a pivot axis parallel to the head axis, the grooves (49) being mutually aligned on the same side of the forked end portion (4) of the handle (1). Each groove (49) is filled with a resiliently deformable material (54) which is deformed when a pivoting force is applied to the razor head (2) during shaving and which restores the razor head (2) to a normal position when the force is removed. The head (2) has undercut apertures (42) in rear abutment surfaces (43), and the distal ends of the fork arms (6) have detent elements (44) projecting forwardly from front abutment surfaces (46). The front and rear abutment surfaces (46,43) abut against one another and the detent elements (44) engage in the undercut apertures (42) in such a manner that the head (2) is fixed relative to the distal ends of the fork arms (6), the distal ends being movable toward one another to disengage the detent elements (44) from the undercut apertures (42) and allow the head (2) to be removed from the handle (1).
