Abstract
A razor handle and an exchangeable razor blade cartridge and method for releasing the exchangeable razor blade cartridge from the razor handle. The razor handle includes an elongated body, a connector, and a release mechanism. The connector is configured to connect an exchangeable razor blade cartridge to the razor handle and the release mechanism is configured to release the exchangeable razor blade cartridge from the razor handle. The razor handle further includes a release trigger, offset from the connector in a longitudinal direction of the elongated body, and a transmission mechanism connecting the release trigger to the release mechanism.
Claims20
A method for releasing an exchangeable razor blade cartridge from a razor handle, wherein the razor handle includes a body extending in a longitudinal direction between a front and a rear end, a connector for connecting an exchangeable razor blade cartridge to the razor handle, a release mechanism for releasing the exchangeable razor blade cartridge from the razor handle, a release trigger being offset longitudinally from the connector and being located in a middle segment of the body between the front and rear ends, the release trigger being movable in a direction transverse to the body, and a transmission mechanism connecting the release trigger to the release mechanism, the transmission mechanism being configured to convert a motion of the release trigger in the direction transverse to the body into a motion in the longitudinal direction of the body, wherein the transmission mechanism includes a push rod, the method comprising the steps of:
- actuating the release trigger by moving the release trigger in the direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the body;
- transmitting a motion from the release trigger to actuate the release mechanism;
- and
- converting a motion of the release trigger in the transverse direction into a motion in the longitudinal direction of the body to release the exchangeable razor blade cartridge from the razor handle.
A razor handle comprising:
- a body extending in a longitudinal direction between a front and a rear end;
- a connector for connecting an exchangeable razor blade cartridge to the razor handle;
- a release mechanism for releasing the exchangeable razor blade cartridge from the razor handle;
- a release trigger being offset longitudinally from the connector and being located in a middle segment of the body between the front and rear ends, the release trigger being movable in a direction transverse to the body;
- and
- a transmission mechanism connecting the release trigger to the release mechanism,
- the transmission mechanism being configured to convert a motion of the release trigger in the direction transverse to the body into a motion in the longitudinal direction of the body,
- wherein the transmission mechanism includes a push rod.
A razor comprising:
- a razor handle including:
- a body extending in a longitudinal direction between a front and a rear end;
- a connector for connecting an exchangeable razor blade cartridge to the razor handle;
- a release mechanism for releasing the exchangeable razor blade cartridge from the razor handle;
- a release trigger being offset longitudinally from the connector and being located in a middle segment of the body between the front and rear ends, the release trigger being movable in a direction transverse to the body;
- and
- a transmission mechanism connecting the release trigger to the release mechanism,
- the transmission mechanism being configured to convert a motion of the release trigger in the direction transverse to the body into a motion in the longitudinal direction of the body, and
- an exchangeable razor blade cartridge connected by the connector of the razor blade handle.
