Abstract
Abstract A device for rinsing a razor blade head fits on to a faucet and receives tap water at line pressure. The device then channels the tap water to provide a high pressure source of directed water jets for cleaning shaving razor blades, especially of the multi-blade variety. The razor blade is inserted into a bottom cavity of the device where it is cleansed of debris by tap water channeled at high pressure through a series of conduits into the cavity. The water then exits out the body through the bottom of the cavity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
209 words
A body with a cavity formed therein for removably receiving a razor head, comprising: a) at least two side walls; b) means for sealing attachment of the body to a directed fluid source; 1) the means for attachment being formed within the body, 2) the means for attachment having: i) a semi-circular side surface open to at least one body side wall; ii) a bottom surface; iii) the semicircular surface and the bottom surface forming a receiving aperture for receiving the fluid source; iv) the means for attachment having an annular gasket on the bottom surface to opposingly mate with and seal a terminus of the fluid source; c) a first conduit formed within the body in fluid communication with the receiving aperture the first conduit having a receiving end and a discharge end, the receiving end having a diameter larger than that of the discharge end; d) a second conduit formed within the body in fluid communication with the discharge end of the first conduit, the second conduit having at least one fluid outlet; e) the cavity formed within the body being sized for receiving a razor blade, the cavity being in fluid communication with the outlet of the second conduit and an exterior surface of the body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
209 words
A body with a cavity formed therein for removably receiving a razor head, comprising: a) at least two side walls; b) means for sealing attachment of the body to a directed fluid source; 1) the means for attachment being formed within the body, 2) the means for attachment having: i) a semi-circular side surface open to at least one body side wall; ii) a bottom surface; iii) the semicircular surface and the bottom surface forming a receiving aperture for receiving the fluid source; iv) the means for attachment having an annular gasket on the bottom surface to opposingly mate with and seal a terminus of the fluid source; c) a first conduit formed within the body in fluid communication with the receiving aperture the first conduit having a receiving end and a discharge end, the receiving end having a diameter larger than that of the discharge end; d) a second conduit formed within the body in fluid communication with the discharge end of the first conduit, the second conduit having at least one fluid outlet; e) the cavity formed within the body being sized for receiving a razor blade, the cavity being in fluid communication with the outlet of the second conduit and an exterior surface of the body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The body according to claim 1, wherein: the outlet comprises a plurality of jets having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the second conduit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The body according to claim 2 wherein: the jets are arranged in parallel rows.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
160 words
A device for removably receiving a razor head, comprising: a) a body, the body having: 1) at least one side wall, (2) means for releasable sealing attachment of the body to a directed fluid source, the means for attachment having: i) at least two side surfaces, ii) a bottom surface, iii) the side surfaces and the bottom surface forming a receiving aperture for receiving the fluid source, iv) the side surfaces being open to at least one body side wall, v) the side surfaces having undercut rims thereon for frictionally engaging the fluid source, vi) the bottom surface having an annular gasket therein for opposingly mating with and sealing the terminus of the fluid source; b) a conduit formed within the body and in fluid communication with the receiving aperture; c) a cavity formed by the body located in fluid connection with the conduit, the cavity being sized to receive a razor blade; and, d) means for draining the cavity.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
160 words
A device for removably receiving a razor head, comprising: a) a body, the body having: 1) at least one side wall, (2) means for releasable sealing attachment of the body to a directed fluid source, the means for attachment having: i) at least two side surfaces, ii) a bottom surface, iii) the side surfaces and the bottom surface forming a receiving aperture for receiving the fluid source, iv) the side surfaces being open to at least one body side wall, v) the side surfaces having undercut rims thereon for frictionally engaging the fluid source, vi) the bottom surface having an annular gasket therein for opposingly mating with and sealing the terminus of the fluid source; b) a conduit formed within the body and in fluid communication with the receiving aperture; c) a cavity formed by the body located in fluid connection with the conduit, the cavity being sized to receive a razor blade; and, d) means for draining the cavity.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
138 words
A device for rinsing razor blades, comprising: a body; a fluid delivery conduit; the fluid delivery conduit having a nozzle forming an annular flange with a flat terminus; means for attaching the body to the fluid delivery conduit, the means for attaching being formed within the body, the means for attaching having a semi-circular side surface and a bottom surface, the semicircular surface and the bottom surface forming a mating void for the nozzle, the means for attaching comprising an annular gasket on the bottom surface to opposingly mate with and seal the flat terminus of the nozzle; a conduit within the body in fluid communication with the means for at-aching; a cavity formed in the body f or receiving a razor blade, the cavity being in fluid communication with the conduit and means for draining the cavity.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
138 words
A device for rinsing razor blades, comprising: a body; a fluid delivery conduit; the fluid delivery conduit having a nozzle forming an annular flange with a flat terminus; means for attaching the body to the fluid delivery conduit, the means for attaching being formed within the body, the means for attaching having a semi-circular side surface and a bottom surface, the semicircular surface and the bottom surface forming a mating void for the nozzle, the means for attaching comprising an annular gasket on the bottom surface to opposingly mate with and seal the flat terminus of the nozzle; a conduit within the body in fluid communication with the means for at-aching; a cavity formed in the body f or receiving a razor blade, the cavity being in fluid communication with the conduit and means for draining the cavity.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
The body according to claim 1, wherein: the semicircular side surface of the means for attachment has an undercut rim thereon for frictionally engaging the fluid source.
