Abstract
An ultraviolet razor blade treatment system for providing a cleaning treatment to a shaving razor is disclosed. The ultraviolet razor blade treatment system can include a shaving razor cleaning unit that has at least one ultraviolet radiation source and sensor to clean surfaces of the shaving razor for purposes of disinfection, sterilization, and/or sanitization.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a housing to receive a razor blade assembly having at least one bladed member;
- at least one ultraviolet radiation source located within the housing to emit ultraviolet radiation towards a front portion and a rear portion of the bladed member;
- and
- a control unit to initiate a cleaning treatment of the razor blade assembly with the at least one ultraviolet radiation source in response to the razor blade assembly being placed within the housing, the control unit specifying a plurality of operating parameters for the cleaning treatment of the razor blade assembly, the plurality of operating parameters including a cleaning treatment time that the ultraviolet radiation source emits the ultraviolet radiation towards the front portion and the rear portion of the bladed member, a dosage of ultraviolet radiation delivered by the ultraviolet radiation source, a power setting for operating the ultraviolet radiation source, and a maximum operating temperature.
1 more element
A shaving razor assembly, comprising:
- a razor handle;
- a razor blade unit having at least one bladed member for shaving a surface that is detachably coupled to the razor handle;
- and
- a shaving razor cleaning cover unit removably coupled to the razor blade unit that is configured to provide an ultraviolet cleaning treatment to the razor blade unit, wherein the shaving razor cleaning unit comprises a bifurcated cap having a main body portion, a first bifurcated element and a second bifurcated element opposing the first bifurcated element and separated therefrom, the first bifurcated element and the second bifurcated element each having a first end rigidly fixed to the main body portion and a second end that is flexibly unattached, the main body portion, the first bifurcated element and the second bifurcated element forming an opening that is configured to receive the razor blade unit.
1 more element
A shaving razor cleaning unit, comprising:
- a housing having a container with a surface opening into a cavity formed in the container;
- a cleaning fluid reservoir formed in a bottom portion of the cavity, wherein the opening in the container is configured to limit placement of the razor blade assembly within the cavity to a suspended state held over the cleaning fluid reservoir without immersion therein;
- at least one ultraviolet radiation source located about an interior surface of the housing to direct ultraviolet radiation towards the razor blade assembly;
- and
- a cleaning fluid nozzle operating in conjunction with the ultraviolet radiation source to direct pressurized cleaning fluid from the cleaning fluid reservoir to the razor blade assembly.
