SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR A FLEXIBLE RAZOR BLADE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A support structure (3) for a safety razor blade assembly (2) that is capable of flexing along its length to follow convex or concave curvatures includes a subframe (15) and end mounts (17) for attachment to the blade assembly at opposite ends thereof coupled to the subframe by respective suspension arm structures (16) each having two arms (21, 22) interconnected by a first pivotal connection (21) and connected to the subframe by a second pivotal connection (23). A restraining device, such as a pin (26) arranged between the blade assembly and the subframe (15) or a torsion bar connected between the subframe (15) and one of the end mounts (17), may be provided to prevent longitudinal displacement of the blade assembly (2)..
