Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
Shaving apparatus, comprising, in combination: a shaving head; handle means secured to the shaving head, including chamber means for receiving material to be dispensed, and bottom means closing one end of the chamber means remote from the shaving head through which the material is dispensed, including aperture means through which the material is dispensed, and cap means secured to the handle means and pivotally movable between a closed position closing the aperture means and an open position for dispensing the material through the aperture means; and piston means movable in the chamber means for dispensing the material through the aperture means, including a piston movable in the chamber means against the material to be dispensed, a rod connected to the piston, and arm means connected to the rod and extending outwardly from the handle means, and movement of the arm means moves the piston.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
