RAZOR PROVIDING PIVOTING AND SWIVELLING RAZOR HEAD SUPPORT

摘要

Razors adapted to support a razor head during shaving while permitting the razor head to move relative to the razor in response to forces encountered during shaving. Preferred embodiments allow a razor head to swivel and also to pivot about an axis normal to a central axis of the razor and normal to an imaginary axis defined by the points of attachment of the razor to a razor head. Preferred embodiments restrict the movement of the engagement arms to paths substantially parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the razor. In this manner, a lateral component of razor head movement along an axis defined by engagement portions of the engagement arms is avoided. According to another aspect, two biasing members are arranged in cooperative engagement to provide restoring forces of three different magnitudes to three different elements.
