Abstract
Anti-clogging manual razor cartridge equipped with an arrangement of rollers and cutting blades arranged in an alternating manner with each other, namely, a leading roller, a leading cutting blade, a trailing roller, a trailing cutting blade and a final cutting blade. Each of the cutting blades are bent to obliquely angle two portions thereof with one of the two portions terminating into a sharpened edge. The arrangement is such that the sharpened edge of the leading cutting blade is over the leading roller, the sharpened edge of the trailing cutting blade is over the trailing roller, the sharpened edge of the final cutting blade is over the trailing cutting blade.
Claims11
An anti-clogging razor device, comprising:
- a razor cartridge having an alternating arrangement of rollers and cutting blades, the cutting blades each having a respective bend that forms an acute angulation between a respective base portion and a respective inclined portion, the respective base portion of each of the cutting blades extending in respective parallel planes that are parallel with each other, the respective inclined portion of each of the cutting blades terminates at respective sharpened edges that are within confines of a common shaving plane whose orientation is perpendicular to each of the respective parallel planes, the cutting blades including a leading cutting blade and a trailing cutting blade, the rollers including a leading roller and a trailing roller, the respective base portion of the leading cutting blade being situated between the leading roller and the trailing roller;
- a housing supporting the alternating arrangement of the rollers and the cutting blades;
- wherein the leading roller and the respective sharpened edge of the leading cutting blade are arranged relative to each other so that a plane that is parallel to the respective parallel planes and passes through the respective sharpened edge of the leading cutting blade also passes through the leading roller,
- wherein the trailing roller and the respective sharpened edge of the trailing cutting blade are arranged relative to each other so that an additional plane that is parallel to the respective parallel planes and passes through the respective sharpened edge of the trailing cutting blade also passes through the trailing roller,
- wherein the leading roller and the trailing roller each has an associated axis and an exterior surface with lengthwise ridges that are circumferentially separated from each other by respective ones of intervening lengthwise grooves, the lengthwise ridges of the leading roller extending parallel to the associated axis of the leading roller, the lengthwise ridges of the trailing roller extending parallel to the associated axis of the trailing roller,
- wherein the leading and trailing rollers are arranged relative to neighboring ones of the cutting blades to define paths between,
- wherein rotation of the leading and trailing rollers helps prevent clogging of the paths of debris because the rotation moves the debris further away from the respective sharpened edges,
- whereby the debris is cut hair, cut skin, and shaving cream or lather.
