摘要:
Monofilament gel dental flosses and methods for their fabrication are provided. The gel flosses comprise a core material in combination with a gel material, where both the core and gel materials comprise thermoplastic elastomeric polymers and are sufficiently adherent to one another so as not to separate under conditions of hygienic use.

The present invention is directed to a shaving system of the wet shave type comprising a blade member (one or more) and a structure which supports or holds the blade member and which has an external skin engaging portion in proximity to the blade member. The skin engaging portion includes an improved shaving aid composite (or lubricating strip) which contains an inclusion complex of a skin-soothing agent, such as menthol, with a cyclodextrin. Preferably the shaving aid composite comprises a matrix of a water-insoluble polymer, an effective amount of a skin lubricating water-soluble polymer dispersed within the matrix, and an inclusion complex of a skin-soothing agent with a cyclodextrin. Alternatively, the shaving aid composite may comprise a sheath of water-insoluble polymer that surrounds a core which includes a skin-lubricating water-soluble polymer and an inclusion complex of a skin-soothing agent with a cyclodextrin. The improved shaving aid composite is capable of retaining during normal storage conditions substantially all of the skin-soothing agent included during fabrication of the composite and delivering an effective amount of the skin-soothing agent during use.
摘要:
A shaving system that includes a housing, one or more blades mounted on the housing, a cap behind the blades on the housing, and a guard structure in front of the blades on the housing, the guard structure including flexible skin-engaging protrusions that engage a user's skin in front of the blades and a water leachable shaving aid composite positioned to deliver a shaving aid to the skin behind the flexible skin-engaging protrusions.
摘要:
Improved dental flosses include two or more components selected to provide desired properties to the floss. The improved flosses may comprise one or a plurality of multicomponent filaments, each filament including an inner core selected to provide strength to the floss, and an outer layer selected to provide a desired surface property. The improved flosses also may comprise one or a plurality of core filaments embedded in a single body sheath. The filament component provides desirable physical properties to the floss, such as tensile strength, while a floss body sheath component provides desirable surface properties.

This relates to an improved skin engaging member for use in razor blade; cartridge assemblies and shaving systems of the wet shave type. In an embodiment, there is provided a two-component, control-release shaving device consisting of(a) a sheath layer made from thermoplastic resins with openings therein and (b) a core region containing internal shaving aids. Potentially, the device can maintain surface appearance, control-release the shaving aids, minimize the degradation of the shaving aids, and prevent the shaving aids from being trapping in a strip. Furthermore, the addition of low-melt additives to the shaving aids becomes feasible and the compatibility between the shaving aids and the shaving aid carrier such as polystyrene in the lubricating strip composite becomes less critical.
