Razor blade assembly

Claim 2

A razor blade assembly including in combination: a base member having a substantially planer blade mounting surface and having a front wall; resilient mounting means attached to said base member; a guard member attached to said resilient mounting means for movement toward and away from the front wall of said base member; at lease one blade means mounted on the blade mounting surface of said base member for limited movement thereon parallel to the plane of said blade mounting surface; and resilient spring biasing means for biasing said blade means toward the front wall of said base member to a first predetermined position, said blade means movable in response to shaving forces rearwardly away from said first predetermined position.

Claim 3

The combination according to claim 1 wherein said resilient mounting means and said resilient spring biasing means comprise independent means.

Claim 4

The combination according to claim 2 further including means for maintaining the relative alignment of the front wall of said base member, the guard member and said blade means with one another.

Claim 5

The combination according to claim 3 wherein said means for maintaining alignment includes a cap with mounting posts extending downwardly therefrom, and wherein said base member and said blade means have corresponding apertures therein for receiving said mounting posts.

Claim 6

The combination according to claim 4 wherein said resilient mounting means is attached to the front wall of said base member and causes said guard member to move toward and away from said front wall in a plane parallel to the plane of said blade mounting surface.

Claim 7

The combination according to claim 5 wherein said base member, said resilient mounting means and said guard member are integrally formed with one another.

Claim 8

The combination according to claim 6 wherein said blade means comprises first and second blade means, each having a cutting edge, with a spacer between said first and second blade means, with the cutting edge of said second blade means spaced upwardly of the cutting edge of said first blade means by said spacer, and rearwardly of the cutting edge of said first blade means.

Claim 9

The combination according to claim 1 further including means for maintaining the relative alignment of the front wall of said base member, the guard member and said blade means with one another.

Claim 10

The combination according to claim 8 wherein said means for maintaining alignment includes a cap with mounting posts extending downwardly therefrom, and wherein said base member and said blade means have corresponding apertures therein for receiving said mounting posts.

Claim 11

A razor blade assembly including in combination: a base member having a substantially planer blade mounting surface and having a front wall; at least one blade means mounted on the blade mounting surface of said base member for limited movement thereon, parallel to the plane of said blade mounting surface; a cap with mounting posts extending downwardly therefrom, and wherein said base member and said blade means have corresponding apertures therein for receiving said mounting posts; and resilient spring biasing means integrally formed with said cap and extending downwardly from the rear thereof toward said base member for biasing said blade means toward the front wall of said base member to a first predetermined position, said blade means movable in response to shaving forces rearwardly away from said first predetermined position.

Claim 12

A razor blade assembly including in combination: a base member having a substantially planer blade mounting surface and having a front wall; at least one blade means mounted on the blade mounting surface of said base member for limited movement thereon, parallel to the plane of said blade mounting surface; a cap with mounting posts extending downwardly therefrom, and wherein said base member and said blade means have corresponding apertures therein for receiving said mounting posts; and resilient spring biasing means integrally formed with said cap and extending downwardly from the rear thereof toward said base member for biasing said blade means toward the front wall of said base member to a first predetermined position, said blade means movable in response to shaving forces rearwardly away from said first predetermined position.

Claim 13

The combination according to claim 10 wherein said blade means comprises first and second blade means, each having a cutting edge, with a spacer between said first and second blade means, with the cutting edge of said second blade means spaced upwardly of the cutting edge of said first blade means by said spacer, and rearwardly of the cutting edge of said first blade means.

Claim 14

The combination according to claim 10 further including a guard member attached to said base member.

Claim 15

The combination according to claim 10 wherein the apertures in said blade means are elongated to permit said limited movement with respect to said mounting posts.

Claim 16

The combination according to claim 10 wherein said blade means has a rear edge and a front cutting edge and said spring biasing means engages the rear edge of said blade means to resiliently bias said blade means to said first predetermined position.

Claim 17

The combination according to claim 14 further including a guard member attached to said base member.

Claim 18

The combination according to claim 15 wherein the apertures in said blade means are elongated to permit said limited movement with respect to said mounting posts.
