Razor handle with strong, hard material for durability
A patent application (Publication Number: US20240033961A9) discloses a handle for a razor designed with specific material characteristics to enhance durability and performance. The handle includes an elongated body portion made from a material with a flexural strength greater than 500 MPa and a Mohs hardness greater than 5. The material can have a flexural strength ranging from 900 MPa to 1350 MPa and a Mohs hardness between 6 to 9, providing a sturdy and long-lasting construction. Additionally, the handle may feature a grip portion at the proximal end, with the material having a higher density than the grip portion material, ideally exceeding 2 g/cm3.
Furthermore, the handle can be made from materials like zirconia, alkali-aluminosilicate glass, or a mixture thereof, with zirconia being the preferred choice. The elongated body portion is designed as a unitary piece, hollow with a wall thickness of less than 4.5 mm, and a total weight ranging from 20 to 30 grams. The handle's length and center of gravity are optimized for balance and control, with a decorative or textured element on the front surface. The patent also covers a method for manufacturing the handle, involving the use of an outer member, a primary structural structure, and an insert to form the elongated body portion. Additionally, a method for assembling a replaceable blade cartridge to the handle to create a complete razor is detailed, ensuring a secure attachment for efficient shaving performance.
