SEGMENTED PROTECTIVE BAR FOR SHAVING MACHINE AND SHAVING MACHINE CABIN THAT CONTAINS IT

摘要

Segmented guard bar wherein segments of adjacent guard bars are tapered such that the skin flow through spaces between the segments is reduced. According to one preferred, illustrated embodiment, the distance between the rearward portion of adjacent segments is less than the space between the forward portions of those segments. Though not limited to any specific type of razor, the present invention is particularly suited for use with a flexible razor head having a cap member, at least one and preferably two blades separated by a spacer, a blade seat having a plurality of blade support portions separated by corrugations, and a segmented guard bar with each segment independently connected to the blade support portions.
