    摘要: The invention relates to a cutting member (7) for use in a device for shaving hair. The cutting member comprises a metal substrate (15) which is provided with a cutting edge (9). At least a portion of the substrate including the cutting edge is provided with a protective coating (19). According to the invention the coating (19) comprises a plurality of stacked pairs (21) of layers, wherein each pair of layers comprises a first layer (23) mainly comprising carbon (C) and a second layer (25) mainly comprising a metal, and wherein each pair of layers has a thickness (TP) between 1 and 10 nm. The second layer preferably comprises Cr, Nb, Mo, Ti, V, or W. As a result, the coating has a superlattice structure which provides the coating with physical properties which are superior to the properties of the individual materials of the layers. In an embodiment wherein the second layer comprises Cr and each pair (21) of layers has a thickness of 1.8 nm, the coating (19) has a hardness that is approximately four times the hardness of Cr and provides a coefficient of friction between the cutting member (7) and the hair to be shaved which is considerably lower than the coefficient of friction which would be obtained without the coating.

    摘要: Methods of manufacturing razor cartridges are provided. One method includes loading a support portion of a supported blade into an elongated blade slot defined by a core member, the core member being configured to define a portion of a molding cavity defining the shape of the cartridge housing; and delivering a resin to the molding cavity to form the housing and capture a portion of the blade in the resin. In another method, a plurality of razor cartridges are manufactured substantially simultaneously by (a) removably mounting each blade on a core member; (b) placing each core member in a molding cavity; and (c) delivering a resin to the molding cavities to form at least a portion of the cartridge housing and capture a portion of the blade in the resin. In other methods a flexible region is provided adjacent the blade ends by: (a) delivering a compliant material to the molding cavity to capture at least the ends of the blade; (b) placing the blade and molded compliant material in a second molding cavity defining the shape of the molded housing; and (c) delivering a resin to the second molding cavity to form the molded housing, or by (a) providing coring areas in the molding cavity beyond each of the blade ends, configured to provide a flexible region of plastic adjacent each blade end in the finished product; and (b) delivering a resin to the molding cavity. In some methods, the resin is delivered through a gate that is positioned so that a substantial portion of the resin flow goes by the blade ends before the molding cavity is filled.

    摘要: A conductive, non-stick coating (62) is provided using a ceramic material which is conductive, flexible and provides a surface which exhibits the property of lubricity. A room or near room temperature manufacturing process produces a coating of titanium nitride on a substrate, where the coating is amorphous if the substrate is a solid material including plastics, composites, metals, magnets and ceramics, enabling the substrate to bend without damaging the coating. The coating can also be applied as a conformal coating on a variety of substrate shapes, depending upon the application. The coating is biocompatible and can be applied to a variety of medical devices.
