Abstract
Abstract A multiple blade razor in which a plurality of blades are positioned functionally perpendicular to radials extending away from the longitudinal center of a handle such that as a particular blade or set of blades becomes dull, the handle can be rotated around its longitudinal axis allowing the user to select a previously non-functionally a new blade or set of blades. Additionally, the handle of such a multiple blade razor includes a stable base of sufficient size and shape allowing the razor to be placed in a standing or upright position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A razor device, comprising: (a) a handle including a base means, said base means being flat and of sufficient size to provide a stable base when the longitudinal center of said handle is perpendicular to the counter or other support on which said handle rests; said base means for supporting said razor device in a stable and upright position when placed upon a counter top, sink area, or other support surface; (b) a plurality of razor blades protruding outwardly from said handle, said blades being generally perpendicular to radials extending from the longitudinal axis of said handle; (c) means for integrally and non-removably attaching said razor blades to said handle wherein said razor blades are functionally positioned in relation to said handle such that rotation of said handle about its longitudinal axis rotates the previously functional razor blade to a non-functional position and simultaneously rotates a previously non-functional razor blade into a functional position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A razor device, comprising: (a) a handle including a base means, said base means being flat and of sufficient size to provide a stable base when the longitudinal center of said handle is perpendicular to the counter or other support on which said handle rests; said base means for supporting said razor device in a stable and upright position when placed upon a counter top, sink area, or other support surface; (b) a plurality of razor blades protruding outwardly from said handle, said blades being generally perpendicular to radials extending from the longitudinal axis of said handle; (c) means for integrally and non-removably attaching said razor blades to said handle wherein said razor blades are functionally positioned in relation to said handle such that rotation of said handle about its longitudinal axis rotates the previously functional razor blade to a non-functional position and simultaneously rotates a previously non-functional razor blade into a functional position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
The device of claim 1 wherein said handle and said base means comprise a generally hollow handle, said handle being tapered from a generally narrowed position at an interface with means for attaching said razor blades to a generally expanded configuration at said base means, thereby providing a structurally and functionally stable handle for said razor device.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
152 words
A razor device, comprising: (a) a handle including a base means, said base means being flat and of sufficient size to provide a stable base when the longitudinal center of said handle is perpendicular to the counter or other support on which said handle rests, said base means for supporting said razor device in a stable and upright position when placed upon a counter top, sink area, or other support surface; (b) a plurality of razor blades protruding outwardly from said handle, said blades being generally perpendicular to radials extending from the longitudinal axis of said handle; (c) means for slidingly attaching said razor blades to said handle wherein said razor blades are functionally positioned in relation to said handle such that rotation of said handle about its longitudinal axis rotates the previously functional razor blade to a non-functional position and simultaneously rotates a previously nonfunctional razor blade into a functional position.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
152 words
A razor device, comprising: (a) a handle including a base means, said base means being flat and of sufficient size to provide a stable base when the longitudinal center of said handle is perpendicular to the counter or other support on which said handle rests, said base means for supporting said razor device in a stable and upright position when placed upon a counter top, sink area, or other support surface; (b) a plurality of razor blades protruding outwardly from said handle, said blades being generally perpendicular to radials extending from the longitudinal axis of said handle; (c) means for slidingly attaching said razor blades to said handle wherein said razor blades are functionally positioned in relation to said handle such that rotation of said handle about its longitudinal axis rotates the previously functional razor blade to a non-functional position and simultaneously rotates a previously nonfunctional razor blade into a functional position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
57 words
The device of claim 3 wherein said handle and said base means comprise a generally hollow handle, said handle being tapered from a generally narrowed position at an interface with means for attaching said razor blades to a generally expanded configuration at said base means, thereby providing a structurally and functionally stable handle for said razor device.
