Abstract
A blade assembly includes a housing having a recess defining a first wall on a first side of the housing and a second wall on a second side of the housing, an elongated body that is attached to the first and second walls and is rotatable about a longitudinal axis (S-S), the elongated body having two or more facets, at least one of the facets has a lubricating element disposed thereon, and a locking mechanism for releasably locking the body in a use position.
Claims20
A blade assembly comprising:
- a housing having a first wall on a first side of the housing and a second wall on a second side of the housing, wherein the first wall and the second wall define a recess;
- at least one blade within the housing;
- an elongated body that is attached to the first and second walls and is rotatable about a longitudinal axis (S-S) of the elongated body, the elongated body having opposing ends and two or more facets between the opposing ends, wherein at least one of the facets has a lubricating element disposed thereon;
- and
- a locking mechanism configured to releasably lock the elongated body in a use position, wherein one of the facets faces a same direction as the at least one blade in the use position,
- wherein the second side of the housing includes a retaining portion formed on an interior surface of the second wall, wherein the locking mechanism is disposed within the retaining portion, and
- wherein the locking mechanism is configured to slide relative to the retaining portion of the housing.

A blade assembly comprising:
- a housing having a first wall on a first side of the housing and a second wall on a second side of the housing, wherein the first wall and the second wall define a recess;
- at least one blade within the housing;
- an elongated body disposed within the recess and attached to the first wall and the second wall, wherein the elongated body is rotatable about a longitudinal axis (S-S) of the elongated body and the elongated body is rotatable relative to the at least one blade, wherein the elongated body includes a first end and a second end, and a plurality of facets between the first end and the second end, wherein at least one of the plurality of facets has a lubricating element disposed thereon;
- and
- a locking mechanism disposed in the housing between the elongated body and a surface of the housing, the locking mechanism being configured to releasably lock the elongated body in a use position in which one of the facets faces a same direction as the at least one blade.

- at least one blade within the housing;
- an elongated body disposed within the recess and attached to the first wall and the second wall, wherein the elongated body is rotatable about a longitudinal axis (S-S) of the elongated body, wherein the elongated body includes a first end, a second end, and a plurality of facets between the first end and the second end, and at least one of the plurality of facets has a lubricating element disposed thereon;
- and
- a locking mechanism disposed in the housing between the elongated body and a surface of the housing, the locking mechanism being configured to releasably lock the elongated body in a use position in which one of the facets faces a same direction as the at least one blade,
- wherein the second end comprises a plurality of protuberances that are formed offset from the longitudinal axis (S-S) of the elongated body, and the locking mechanism is configured to slide between and against each of the plurality of protuberances.
