Movable blade shaving cartridge

A razor comprising a razor head connected to a handle, said razor head including a body portion defining a guard and a cap, and a blade assembly having a blade disposed therein, said blade assembly mounted by first and second mounting members to said body portion in relation to said guard and cap in a manner to comprise a four-bar linkage, wherein said body portion defines a stationary member of said four-bar linkage, said first and second mounting members each having one end integrally connected to said body portion in a manner to define rotational members of said four-bar linkage about a separate axis of rotation for each of said first and second mounting members;

• and said blade assembly integrally connected to the other end of said first and second mounting members thereto to define a movable four-bar member responsive to rotational movement of said first and second mounting members so that shaving forces acting upon said blade assembly cause said blade assembly to move relative to said body portion.

A body portion for a blade cartridge comprising a cartridge platform mounted to said body portion by a first and second mounting member in a manner to comprise a four-bar linkage, wherein said body portion defines a stationary member of said four-bar linkage, said first and second mounting members each having one end integrally connected to said body portion in a manner to define rotational members of said four-bar linkage about a separate axis of rotation for each of said first and second mounting members;

• and said cartridge platform integrally connected to the other end of said first and second mounting members thereto to define a movable four-bar member responsive to rotational movement of said first and second mounting members so that shaving forces acting upon said cartridge platform cause said cartridge platform to move relative to said body portion.
