Two-edge shaving blade unit having anti-clogging means

Abstract

A two-edge shaving blade unit having a member for ejecting shaved hair particles and other matter deposited in and clogging a space between the leading and following cutting edges. The upper and lower blade elements are fixed between a platform and a cap portion in a parallel and spaced relation with a spacer interposed therebetween. The ejecting member is retained between the upper and lower blade elements and is loosely fitted around the spacer in a manner displaceable between an advanced and a retracted positions. The cap portion has a resilient rear wall having a knob at its laterally intermediate portion, and to this knob is connected the ejecting member. The ejecting member can be displaced forwardly into the advanced position when the knob is pushed manually so as to eject the hair particles and other matter deposited in and clogging the space between the leading and following cutting edges. Further, when the pushing force on the knob is removed, the knob and thus the ejecting member are displaced to the original retracted position with the resilient force of the resilient rear wall.
