5 Claims, 10 Drawing Figures RAZOR BLADE CARTRIDGE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to safety razors of the type having at least one blade permanently bonded in a replaceable cartridge. More particularly, the present invention relates to means for aligning the cartridge components.
A critical step in assembling razor blade cartridges is to properly align the blade cutting edges with respect to guard surfaces. US. Pat. No. 3,724,070 provides for loosely fitting, blades on posts extending from a cap member through a blade seat member. The blades are then moved forwardly to abut notches in the cap member, and the cartridge is thereafter bonded together by deforming the lower ends of the posts. Such movement of the blades during assembly raises a degree of risk in not properly aligning the blades. Further, there is a danger that the deformed posts will not maintain the blade in a desired location during shipment and use.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a razor blade cartridge comprising a plastic seat member, a blade and a cap member. The seat and the blade have transversely spaced and transversely elongated apertures. The cap has at least two posts extending downwardly through the apertures. The posts initially have an outer longitudinal dimension equal to or greater than the longitudinal dimensions of the apertures, and an outer transverse dimension less than the transverse dimensions of the apertures to provide a longitudinal interference fit of the posts in the apertures. The longitudinal interference fit aligns the blade cutting edge with respect to a transversely elongated guard surface on the seat.
The invention is also suitable for aligning more than one blade and spacing means between the cap member and the blade seat member.
Thus, it is clear that the present invention avoids the need for longitudinal movement of the blade(s) after they are located between the cap member and the blade seat member. Further, the blade(s) cannot longitudinally move after the components are bonded together.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS A razor blade cartridge 10 has a pair of tandemly mounted blades l4, l8 bonded permanently between a cap member and a blade seat member 12. The
The cartridge 10 has a T-shaped channel 69 (FIG. 8) formed by inwardly directed flange members 70, 71 for releasably securing the cartridge on a holder (not shown).
The spacer member 16 has a rearwardly extending flange 59, and seven spacer elements 55, 58 joined to the flange 59 by vertically extending members 60. The inner spacer elements 55 have beveled forward surfaces 56, 57 which may extend outwardly a slight distance from the top blade cutting edge 38. The spacer elements 55, 58 form shaving residue channels 61 (FIG. 2) which extend rearwardly from between the cutting edges 38, 39 to exit ports 47 49 (FIG. 3) formed at the rear 46 of the cartridge 10. The spacer member 16 also has transversely elongated outer holes 28, 31, and circular inner holes 29, 30.
With reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the cap member 20 has four posts 22 25 extending downwardly from recesses 50 in the underside of the cap member 20. The cap member 20 also has opposing downwardly extending side walls 53, 54, and a pair of spaced downwardly extending front walls 51, 52.
With reference to FIG. 5, the outer posts 22, 25 have a beveled lower portion 40, an intermediate cylindrical portion 41, an upper cylindrical portion 43, and an upwardly and outwardly beveled intermediate portion 42 interconnecting the intermediate and upper cylindrical portions 41, 43. The inner posts 23, 24 are cylindrical at 45 and have a beveled lower end 44.
With reference to FIG. 1, the blades 14; 18 have a pair of spaced and transversely elongated slots or apertures 26, 27; 32, 33. As clearly shown in FIG. 8, the top blade 18 has a shorter longitudinal length than the bottom blade 14.
Referring now to FIGS. 6 and 7, the blade seat member 12 has a pair of transversely elongated outer holes or perforations 34, 37, and a pair of circular inner perforations 35, 36. Each one of the perforations 34 37 has a beveled upper portion 82 for guiding the lower beveled portions 40, 44 of the posts 22 25 therein.
The blade seat member 12 also has a plateau 62 for seating the bottom blade 14, and a rear step 63 for receiving the flange 59 of the spacer member 16. A guard bar 64 is supported forwardly of the blade seat member 12 by spaced support elements 65. Surfaces 66, 67 extend upwardly from the outer ends of the guard bar 64 to cover the outer corners of the bottom blade cutting edge 39. A boss 68 extends rearwardly from the blade seat member 12, and functions to maintain the cartridge 10 in a dispenser (not shown). The T-shaped channel 69 has a notch 72 formed in the flange member 71 for receiving a holder spring (not shown). Stop members 80, 81 are provided at one end of the T- shaped channel 69 for preventing a holder (not shown) from passing therethrough. US. Pat. No. 3,783,510 discloses a holder and a dispenser suitable for use with the specific embodiment described hereinabove.
The cartridge 10 can be assembled by inverting the cap member 20, and sequentially placing the top blade 18, the spacer member 16, the bottom blade 14 and the blade seat member 12 on the cap member 20 with the posts 22, 23 passing through the aperture or slot 26, the holes 28, 29, the aperture or slot 32 and the perforations 34, 35, and with the posts 24, 25 correspondingly passing through the aperture or slot 27, the holes 30, 3 l, the aperture or slot 33 and the perforations 36, 37. The lower ends of the posts 22 25 are stacked or otherwise deformed at the lower ends thereof as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 to permanently bond the components together. The cap member 20, the blades 14, 18 and the spacer member 16 have cut-out portions for receiving alignment members (not shown) during assembly. After the cartridge is stacked, the alignment members are removed.
The intermediate cylindrical portions 41 of the outer posts 22, 25 are dimensioned to have a close longitudinal fit in the blade apertures 26, 27, 32, 33, the spacer outer holes 28, 31 and the blade seat outer perforations 34, 37. The intermediate cylindrical portions 41 may have a longitudinal dimension equal to the longitudinal dimension of the bottom blade apertures 32, 33 to provide an interference fit.
The intermediate beveled portions 42 of the outer posts 22, 25 serve to gradually increase the longitudinal dimensions of the posts 22, 25 such that the upper cylindrical portions 43 have a longitudinal interference fit in the blade apertures 26, 27, 32, 33 and the blade seat perforations 34, 37, and a very close fit in the outer spacer holes 28, 31. The inner posts 23, 24 have a close fit through the blade apertures 26, 27, 32, 33, the inner spacer holes 29, 30 and the inner blade seat perforations 35, 36.
