    摘要: A blade storage system for a refillable shaving head including a guard and a cover movable with respect to the guard between a retaining position, in which the cover and guard are able to retain a blade between them and a releasing position. The blade storage system including: a dispensing portion configured to retainably connect the blade to the cover of the head, and a removing portion configured to disconnect the blade from the cover. The removing portion is configured to disconnect the blade from the cover by moving the blade with respect to the cover along a bearing direction, along which the cover is configured to bear on the blade during retention of the blade to the head, and/or the dispensing portion is configured to connect the blade to the cover by moving the blade with respect to the cover opposite to the bearing direction.

    摘要: A smart shaving system with a three-dimension (3D) camera assists the user of a shaving razor. The 3D camera is communicatively connected to the shaving razor and to a razor cartridge vendor platform via an Internet-of-Things (IoT) gateway. The 3D camera can be incorporated into the shaving razor. The razor has hardware/software capabilities to function as a stand-alone Internet-of-Things (IoT) device. The 3D camera can assist the user to determine whether a particular skin surface area has been adequately shaved, and/or (ii) assist the user regarding the type of shaving cartridge and/or razor suited for the particular user's physical characteristics (e.g., skin and/or hair).

    摘要: A shaving blade assembly and a method of using a shaving blade assembly may include a blade, a first resilient element, and a first movable member. The first resilient element may support the blade and be arranged to urge the blade in a first direction substantially orthogonal to a cutting edge of the blade. The first movable member may selectively engage the first resilient element, in the first direction in at least one position, to impede deformation of the first resilient element.

    摘要: A shaving system including a shaver having a handle, a razor cartridge, and one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors may be configured to detect a characteristic of at least one of the shaver or a body part of a user and to generate a sensor signal representative of the characteristic. A processor may be operably coupled to the one or more sensors and may have at least one algorithm stored thereon for analyzing the sensor signal to determine a status of the shaving session. An indicator may be operably coupled to the processor, and the indicator may be configured to provide feedback to the user regarding the status of the shaving session.

    摘要: A shaving system including a dispenser having a plurality of slots, a first of which is configured to releasably receive a cartridge having at least one razor blade. An electrical circuit associated with the first slot including first and second electrically conductive elements, which are spaced apart from one another to form a gap therebetween. The electrical circuit is configured to switch between an open configuration in which the gap is unbridged and a closed configuration in which an electrically conductive material spans the gap, electrically connecting the first and second electrically conductive elements. The system is configured to detect removal of a first cartridge from the first slot based on whether the electrical circuit is in the open or the closed configuration. The system is configured to generate a signal when removal of the first cartridge is detected.
