The handle has a central longitudinal plane that, starting from the razor head, has an essentially S-shaped curved configuration. The rear end of the handle is provided with a tongue-like widened portion. To improve the ergonomic properties of the razor, on the longitudinal underside of the handle 1 the tongue-like widened portion has a flattened portion.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Naßrasierapparat bestehend aus einem Handgriff, an dessen vorderem Ende an einem Rasierappa­ratekopf eine Rasierklingeneinheit angeordnet ist und der in seiner Längsmittelebene ausgehend vom Rasierapparatekopf im wesentlichen S-förmig geschwungen ausgebildet ist und dessen hinteres Ende eine knebelartige Verdickung aufweist. Unter einer Rasierklingeneinheit ist dabei ein Kunststoffkörper zu verstehen, in dem eine Einfach- oder Doppelrasierklinge unlös­bar eingebettet ist.The invention relates to a wet shaving apparatus consisting of a handle, at the front end of which a razor blade unit is arranged on a razor head and which is essentially S-shaped in its longitudinal center plane, starting from the razor head, and whose rear end has a gag-like thickening. A razor blade unit is to be understood as meaning a plastic body in which a single or double razor blade is embedded in a non-detachable manner.

Naßrasierapparate, welche aus einem Handgriff bestehen, an dessen vorderem Ende an einem Rasierapparatekopf eine Rasier­klingeneinheit durch einen entsprechenden Befestigungsmecha­nismus angeordnet ist, sind in vielen Ausführungsformen be­kannt. Eine spezielle Ausführungsform ist aus dem DE-GM 72 18 104 bekannt, bei der zur Verbesserung der ergonomischen Eigen­schaften der Handgriff in seiner Längsmittelebene ausgehend vom Rasierapparatekopf im wesentlichen S-förmig geschwungen ausgebildet ist. Darüber hinaus weist das hintere Ende des Handgriffs eine knebelartige Verdickung auf. Im Vergleich zu den Naßrasierapparaten, bei denen der Handgriff in Form eines geraden Stabes ausgebildet ist, weist dieser geschwungene Handgriff eine verbesserte ergonomische Form auf. Allerdings ist bei dem bekannten Naßrasierapparat die hintere knebelarti­ge Verdickung des Handgriffes derart massiv und voluminös aus­gebildet, daß sie vom Benutzer als störend empfunden wird, da ein optimales ergonomisches Umgreifen dieser knebelartigen Verdickung immer noch nicht gewährleistet ist. Insbesondere die Fingerspitzen finden keinen richtigen Halt, was die Füh­rung des Rasierapparates im Hinblick auf ein optimales Rasier­ergebnis beeinträchtigt.Wet razors, which consist of a handle, at the front end of which a razor blade unit is arranged on a razor head by means of a corresponding fastening mechanism, are known in many embodiments. A special embodiment is known from DE-GM 72 18 104, in which to improve the ergonomic properties of the handle in its longitudinal center plane, starting from the razor head, is designed to be essentially S-shaped. In addition, the rear end of the handle has a gag-like thickening. Compared to the wet shavers, in which the handle is in the form of a straight rod, this curved handle has an improved ergonomic shape. However, in the known wet shaver, the rear gag-like thickening of the handle is so massive and voluminous that it is perceived by the user as annoying, since an optimal ergonomic grip around this gag-like Thickening is still not guaranteed. In particular, the fingertips do not find a proper grip, which affects the guiding of the shaver in terms of an optimal shaving result.

Die derzeit bekannten Rasierapparate erlauben es einem Benutzer nachteiligerweise, eine beliebige Griffhaltung und Fingeranordnung am Handgriff vorzunehmen. Hierdurch ist eine optimale Führung des Rasierapparates während der Rasur nicht gewährleistet. Die individuelle Haltung erlaubt zu große Frei­heiten beim Greifen und Positionieren des Rasierapparates, so daß es dem Benutzer in der Regel nicht gelingt, den optimalen Rasierwinkel während der Rasur einzustellen. So läßt sich ins­besondere mit im Querschnitt zylindrischen oder im wesentlichen viereckig ausgearbeiteten Rasierapparate-Hand­griffen die richtige Lage der Klinge zur rasierenden Oberfläche mit der Aufnahme des Rasierapparates nicht bestimmen. Auch die herkömmlichen Schwingkopf-Apparate lassen ein Schwingen der Rasierklinge und somit ein Anpassen an die Gesichtskonturen nur in vertikaler Richtung (Schwenkachse horizontal) zu. Für das optimale Rasierergebnis ist jedoch auch die im Hinblick auf den Rasierwinkel richtige Anlage der Rasierklinge in horizontaler Richtung (Schwenkachse vertikal) wichtig.The currently known shavers disadvantageously allow a user to carry out any grip posture and finger arrangement on the handle. As a result, optimal guidance of the shaver during shaving is not guaranteed. The individual posture allows too much freedom when gripping and positioning the shaver, so that the user usually does not succeed in setting the optimal shaving angle during shaving. For example, the correct position of the blade in relation to the shaving surface with the mounting of the shaving apparatus cannot be determined, in particular with razor handles which are cylindrical or essentially quadrangular. Even the conventional oscillating head devices allow the razor blade to swing and thus adapt to the contours of the face only in the vertical direction (horizontal swivel axis). For the best shaving result, it is also important to position the razor blade in the horizontal direction (swivel axis vertical) with regard to the shaving angle.

Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zu­grunde, die ergonomischen Eigenschaften des Handgriffs bei einem Naßrasierapparat der eingangs angegebenen Art weiter zu verbessern und eine eindeutige, optimale Positionierung des Apparates bzw. der Rasierklingeneinheit zur Gesichtsfläche bzw. zur rasierenden Fläche sicherzustellen.Proceeding from this, the object of the invention is to further improve the ergonomic properties of the handle in a wet shaving apparatus of the type specified at the outset and to ensure a clear, optimal positioning of the apparatus or of the razor blade unit in relation to the face or the shaving surface.

Die Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß in dem Bereich des Handgriffs zwischen Rasierapparatekopf und der Verdickung die seitliche Kontur im Querschnitt konkav und die dazu um 90° liegende Ober- und Unterseite in ihrer Kontur konvex ausgebildet sind. Vorzugsweise bilden die im Querschnitt konkav nach innen gewölbten Seitenflächen des Handgriffs eine längliche ergonomische Griffmulde für Daumen­und Mittelfinger des Benutzers, so daß eine größere Angriffs­fläche für die Finger durch großflächige Anlage der konvex gekrümmten Fingerkuppen am Handgriff gewährleistet ist. Auch bei Feuchtigkeit der Finger und Verschmutzung des Apparates durch Rasierhilfsmittel ist ein sicherer Griff gewährleistet und es dadurch dem Benutzer in äußerst einfacher Weise ermöglicht, den Rasierapparat zur Einstellung des optimalen Rasierwinkels richtig zur rasierenden Fläche zu halten.The object is achieved in that in the region of the handle between the razor head and the thickening, the lateral contour is concave in cross section and the for this purpose, the upper and lower sides are convex in their contours. The side surfaces of the handle, which are concavely curved in cross section, preferably form an elongated, ergonomic recessed grip for the thumb and middle finger of the user, so that a larger contact surface for the fingers is ensured by the convexly curved fingertips resting on the handle over a large area. Even when the fingers are damp and the device is contaminated by shaving aids, a secure grip is guaranteed, thereby making it extremely easy for the user to hold the shaver correctly against the shaving surface in order to set the optimal shaving angle.

Gemäß einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vor­gesehen, an der Längsunterseite des Handgriffs die knebel­artige Verdickung mit einer Abflachung zu versehen. Durch diese Abflachung an der Unterseite der knebelartigen Verdickung werden die ergonomischen Eigenschaften des Hand­griffs weiter verbessert, da die den Handgriff umgreifenden Fingerspitzen in dieser Abflachung zur Anlage kommen. Gerade die Fingerspitzen sind verantwortlich für eine optimale Führung des Rasierapparates, so daß durch diesen Vorschlag die Zielsetzung gefordert wird, ein optimales Rasierergebnis zu erhalten.According to an expedient embodiment of the invention, the gag-like thickening is provided with a flattened portion on the longitudinal underside of the handle. This flattening on the underside of the gag-like thickening further improves the ergonomic properties of the handle, since the fingertips that grip the handle come to rest in this flattening. The fingertips in particular are responsible for optimal guiding of the shaving apparatus, so that this proposal calls for the objective of obtaining an optimal shaving result.

In einer Weiterbildung des Naßrasierapparates wird vorge­schlagen, daß im Bereich zwischen dem vorderen Rasierapparate­kopf und der hinteren knebelartigen Verdickung der Handgriff auf jeder Seite jeweils eine quer zur Längsmittelebene sich erstreckende Verdickung aufweist, wobei zwischen diesen Ver­dickungen und der hinteren knebelartigen Verdickung am Hand­griff Griffmulden ausgebildet sind. Ein derart ausgebildeter Naßrasierapparat zeichnet sich durch einen Handgriff mit opti­malen ergonomischen Eigenschaften aus, die eine einfache und sichere Handhabung des Naßrasierapparates mit einem bestmögli­chen Rasierergebnis gewährleisten.In a further development of the wet shaver it is proposed that in the area between the front shaver head and the rear gag-like thickening the handle has a thickening extending transversely to the longitudinal median plane on each side, with grip recesses being formed on the handle between these thickenings and the rear gag-like thickening. A wet shaver designed in this way is characterized by a handle with optimal ergonomic properties, which ensure simple and safe handling of the wet shaver with the best possible shaving result.

In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Abflachung weist diese wenigstens ein Polster aus flexiblem Material auf, welches mit seiner Oberfläche im wesentlichen in der Oberfläche der Ab­flachung liegt. Diese Polster haben den Vorteil, daß während der Benutzung des Rasierapparates die Fingerspitzen darauf zu liegen kommen, so daß die Halteeigenschaften des Handgriffs dadurch verbessert werden. Die Polster bestehen dabei aus einem weichen, flexiblen Material, so daß sich die Finger­spitzen in dieses Material muldenartig eingraben. Für die Pol­ster sind die verschiedensten Materialien denkbar, welche die an die Polster gestellten Anforderungen erfüllen. Es kann sich dabei um Schaumgummi, aufgeschäumter Kunststoff etc. handeln. Die Polster können dabei als separates Bauteil in den Hand­griff eingesetzt oder in diesem formschlüssig gehalten sein.In a preferred development of the flattening, the flattening has at least one cushion made of flexible material, the surface of which is essentially in the surface of the flattening. These pads have the advantage that the fingertips come to rest on them during use of the shaving apparatus, so that the holding properties of the handle are thereby improved. The cushions are made of a soft, flexible material, so that the fingertips dig into this material like a trough. A wide variety of materials are conceivable for the upholstery, which meet the requirements placed on the upholstery. It can be foam rubber, foamed plastic, etc. The cushions can be inserted as a separate component in the handle or can be held in a form-fitting manner in this.

In einer Weiterbildung sind zwei Polster vorgesehen, die in Längsrichtung des Handgriffs gesehen hintereinander liegen und von denen das zum Rasierapparatekopf hin näherliegende Polster kleiner ist als das andere Polster. Diese beiden Polster bil­den die Auflageflächen für die Fingerspitzen des kleinen Fin­gers sowie des Ringfingers, so daß mit diesen eine optimale Führung des Naßrasierapparates während der Rasur möglich ist.In a further development, two cushions are provided which, as seen in the longitudinal direction of the handle, lie one behind the other and of which the cushion closer to the razor head is smaller than the other cushion. These two pads form the contact surfaces for the fingertips of the little finger and the ring finger, so that an optimal guidance of the wet shaver during shaving is possible with them.

Vorzugsweise sind die Polster rund ausgebildet, um so eine optimale Auflagefläche für die Fingerspitzen zu schaffen.The pads are preferably round in order to create an optimal contact surface for the fingertips.

Zur einfacheren Herstellung des Handgriffs besteht dieser vor­zugsweise aus zwei miteinander verbundenen Formteilen, die ein Oberteil und ein Unterteil des Handgriffs bilden. Diese beiden Formteile insbesondere in Form von Halbschalen können mitein­ander verrastet oder durch Reibschluß miteinander verbunden werden. Im letzteren Falle weist das eine Formteil angeformte Stifte auf, die bei der Montage des Handgriffs in dazu kor­respondierende Löcher des anderen Formteiles greifen.To simplify the manufacture of the handle, it preferably consists of two interconnected molded parts which form an upper part and a lower part of the handle. These two molded parts, in particular in the form of half shells, can be locked together or connected to one another by friction. In the latter case, one molded part has molded-on pins which, when the handle is assembled, engage in corresponding holes in the other molded part.

Schließlich wird in einer Weiterbildung des Rasierapparates vorgeschlagen, daß dessen Schwerpunkt im Bereich zwischen dem vorderen Drittelpunkt und der Hälfte des Handgriffs liegt, das heißt daß der Schwerpunkt sich im Bereich der anliegenden Daumen-, Zeige- und Mittelfinger befindet. Der Schwerpunkt liegt somit im Bereich derjenigen Stelle, wo der Benutzer den Handgriff mit dem Daumen, dem Mittel- und dem Zeigefinger um­greift, so daß der Rasierapparat in diesem Griffbereich ausba­lanciert ist. Dadurch wird eine weitere Verbesserung des Ra­sierergebnisses durch eine optimale Handhabung des Handgriffes erzielt. Eine insgesamt großvolumige Ausbildung im Knebel­bereich dient zur Abstützung der gekrümmten Handdaumenfläche, wobei die symetrische Ausbildung des Apparates eine Benutzung mit der rechten und der linken Hand zuläßt.Finally, it is proposed in a further development of the shaving apparatus that its center of gravity lies in the area between the front third point and half of the handle, that is to say that the center of gravity is in the area of the adjacent thumb, index and middle fingers. The focus is therefore on the area where the user grips the handle with the thumb, middle and index finger, so that the shaver is balanced in this area of the handle. This results in a further improvement in the shaving result through optimal handling of the handle. An overall large-volume design in the gag area serves to support the curved palm of the hand, the symmetrical design of the apparatus permitting use with the right and left hands.

Die drei Ausführungsformen eines Naßrasierapparates weisen je­weils einen einstückigen Handgriff 1 aus Kunststoff auf, an dessen vorderem Ende an einem Rasierapparatekopf 2 eine Ra­sierklingeneinheit 3 in herkömmlicher Weise angeordnet ist. Bei der Rasierklingeneinheit 3 ist dabei eine Einfach- oder Doppelrasierklinge in einem Kunststoffkörper unlösbar einge­bettet.The three embodiments of a wet razor each have a one-piece plastic handle 1, at the front end of which a razor blade unit 3 is arranged in a conventional manner on a razor head 2. In the razor blade unit 3, a single or double razor blade is embedded in a plastic body so that it cannot be detached.

Die in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte erste Ausführungsform des Naßrasierapparates weist einen Handgriff 1 auf, der ausgehend vom Rasierapparatekopf 2 in seiner Längsmittelebene im wesent­lichen S-förmig geschwungen ausgebildet ist. Am rückwärtigen Ende weist dabei der Handgriff 1 eine knebelartige Verdickung 4 auf, von der aus sich der Handgriff 1 zum Rasierapparatekopf 2 hin taillenartig verjüngt. Die knebelartige Verdickung 4 ist dabei an der Längsunterseite des Handgriffs 1 mit einer Ab­flachung 5 versehen, während an der Längsoberseite des Handgriffs 1 die knebelartige Verdickung 4 im wesentlichen kugelförmig ausgebildet ist.The first embodiment of the wet shaving apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a handle 1 which, starting from the shaving apparatus head 2, is designed to be essentially S-shaped in its longitudinal center plane. At the rear end, the handle 1 has a gag-like thickening 4, from which the handle 1 tapers like a waist toward the shaver head 2. The gag-like thickening 4 is provided on the longitudinal underside of the handle 1 with a flattened portion 5, while on the longitudinal top of the handle 1 the gag-like thickening 4 is essentially spherical.

Die zweite Ausführungsform in Fig. 3 und 4 zeigt ebenfalls einen Naßrasierapparat, dessen Handgriff 1 im wesentlichen S-förmig in der Art eines Schwanenhalses geschwungen ausgebildet ist. Auch hier weist das rückwärtige Ende eine knebelartige Verdickung 4 mit einer unterseitigen Abflachung 5 auf. Im Gegensatz zur ersten Ausführungsform weist jedoch diese Ausführungsform zusätzlich noch im Bereich zwischen der hinteren knebelartigen Verdickung 4 und dem vorderen Rasier­apparatekopf 2 des Handgriffs 1 seitliche Verdickungen 6 auf, die in der Draufsicht gemäß Fig.4 erkennbar sind. Diese seitlichen Verdickungen 6 bilden zusammen mit der hinteren knebelartigen Verdickung 4 Griffmulden 7.The second embodiment in FIGS. 3 and 4 also shows a wet shaving apparatus, the handle 1 of which is designed to be essentially S-shaped in the manner of a gooseneck. Here too, the rear end has a gag-like thickening 4 with a flattening 5 on the underside. In contrast to the first embodiment, however, this embodiment additionally has lateral thickenings 6 in the region between the rear toggle-like thickening 4 and the front shaving head 2 of the handle 1, which can be seen in the top view according to FIG. These side thickenings 6 together with the rear gag-like thickening 4 form recessed grips 7.

Die dritte Ausführungsform in den Fig. 5 bis 10 zeigt schließ­lich ebenfalls einen Naßrasierapparat, dessen Handgriff im we­sentlichen S-förmig geschwungen ausgebildet ist, wobei die Schwingungsform im wesentlichen der der ersten Ausführungsform in Fig. 1 und 2 entspricht. Auch hier weist das rückwärtige Ende ein knebelartige Verdickung 4 mit einer unterseitigen Ab­flachung 5 auf.The third embodiment in FIGS. 5 to 10 finally also shows a wet shaving apparatus, the handle of which is designed to be essentially S-shaped, the shape of the oscillation essentially corresponding to that of the first embodiment in FIGS. 1 and 2. Here too, the rear end has a gag-like thickening 4 with a flattening 5 on the underside.

Im Unterschied zu den vorherigen beiden Ausführungsformen be­steht bei dieser Ausführungsform der Handgriff 1 aus zwei mit­einander verbundenen Formteilen, die jeweils ein halbschalen­förmiges Oberteil 1′ sowie Unterteil 1˝ des Handgriffs 1 bil­den. Dies ist insbesondere in den Schnittdarstellungen gemäß Fig. 8 bis 10 zu erkennen. Diese beiden Formteile können in herkömmlicher Weise miteinander verbunden sein, beispielsweise durch Reibschluß.In contrast to the previous two embodiments, in this embodiment the handle 1 consists of two interconnected molded parts, each of which forms a half-shell-shaped upper part 1 'and lower part 1˝ of the handle 1. This can be seen in particular in the sectional representations according to FIGS. 8 to 10. These two molded parts can be connected to one another in a conventional manner, for example by friction.

In der Schnittdarstellung gemäß Fig. 8 ist weiterhin erkenn­bar, daß im Bereich A zwischen der hinteren knebelartigen Ver­dickung 4 und dem vorderen Rasierapparatekopf 2 die Längs­seiten im Querschnitt konkav gekrümmt sind und eine Art Längs­mulde bilden, deren Ausbildung und Zweck bereits oben beschrieben worden ist.8 that in the area A between the rear gag-like thickening 4 and the front shaver head 2 the longitudinal sides are concavely curved in cross section and form a kind of longitudinal trough, the design and purpose of which has already been described above.

Im wesentlichen Unterschied zu den bisherigen Ausführungsfor­men weist diese dritte Ausführungsform im Bereich der Ab­flachung 5 der knebelartigen Verdickung 4 Polster 8,8′ aus einem weichen, flexiblen Material auf, beispielsweise aus Gummi oder Kunststoff. Diese Polster 8,8′ sind rund mit unter­schiedlichen Durchmessern ausgebildet, wobei das Polster 8 am hinteren Ende einen größeren Durchmesser aufweist als das Pol­ster 8′, welches zum Rasierapparatekopf 2 näher liegt. Bei den Polstern 8,8′ handelt es sich dabei um kappenartige Formteile, welche in den Handgriff 1 formschlüssig eingesetzt sind. Zwi­schen der Oberseite der Abflachung 5 und der Oberseite der Polster 8,8′ besteht dabei ein stetiger Übergang, d.h. die Polster 8,8′ fügen sich harmonisch in den Handgriff 1 ein. Sie bilden dabei Auflageflächen für die Fingerspitzen des Benut­zers während der Rasur und werden dabei leicht nach innen ge­drückt. Dadurch werden Griffmulden gebildet.In essence, in contrast to the previous embodiments, this third embodiment in the area of the flattening 5 of the gag-like thickening 4 has pads 8, 8 'made of a soft, flexible material, for example made of rubber or plastic. These pads 8,8 'are round with different diameters, the pad 8 at the rear end having a larger diameter than the pad 8', which is closer to the razor head 2. The upholstery 8, 8 'is a cap-like molded part which is inserted in the handle 1 in a form-fitting manner. There is a continuous transition between the top of the flattened portion 5 and the top of the pads 8, 8 ', i.e. the upholstery 8.8 'fit harmoniously into the handle 1. They form contact surfaces for the fingertips of the user during shaving and are pressed slightly inwards. This creates recessed grips.

In sämtlichen Ausführungsformen weist der Handgriff 1 des je­weiligen Naßrasierapparates eine optimale ergonomische Form auf, welche eine optimale Handhabung durch den Benutzer ge­währleistet. Dies geht einher mit einem optimalen Rasierergeb­nis, da durch die geschwungene Ausbildung des Handgriffes mit der knebelartigen Verdickung an der Rückseite mit der unter­seitigen Abflachung der Benutzer den Handgriff sicher und fest umgreifen kann. Durch die S-Form ist dabei auf dem Handgriff­rücken ein Sattel ausgebildet, in dem während des Rasierens der Vorderbereich der Handfläche sicher zu liegen kommt. Der Handgriff ist somit in optimaler Weise der geschlossenen Hand angepaßt, wobei die knebelartige Verdickung in der geschlosse­nen Faust des Benutzers zu liegen kommt und dabei eine groß­flächige Abstützung innerhalb der Faust liefert, was insgesamt die Gesamtstabilität des Systems Hand/Naßrasierapparat verbes­sert.In all embodiments, the handle 1 of the respective wet shaver has an optimal ergonomic shape, which ensures optimal handling by the user. This goes hand in hand with an optimal shaving result, since the curved design of the handle with the gag-like thickening on the back with the flattening on the underside of the user can grip the handle securely and firmly. Due to the S-shape, a saddle is formed on the back of the handle, in which the front area of the palm comes to rest safely during shaving. The handle is thus optimally adapted to the closed hand, the gag-like thickening coming to rest in the closed fist of the user and thereby providing extensive support within the fist, which improves the overall stability of the hand / wet shaver system.
