Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 123 words
A shaving system comprising a handle and a blade assembly, the handle comprising a grip portion, a neck portion extending from said grip portion, a first handle connecting means extending from a free end of said neck portion, and a second handle connecting means extending from said free end of said neck portion, the blade assembly comprising a body portion having blade means permanently fixed therein, a first blade assembly connecting means disposed on said body portion and engaged with said first handle connecting means to form a pivotal connection therebetween, and a second blade assembly connecting means disposed on said body portion and fixedly interconnected with said second handle connecting means, said second handle connecting means being reciprocally moveable in said handle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 123 words
A shaving system comprising a handle and a blade assembly, the handle comprising a grip portion, a neck portion extending from said grip portion, a first handle connecting means extending from a free end of said neck portion, and a second handle connecting means extending from said free end of said neck portion, the blade assembly comprising a body portion having blade means permanently fixed therein, a first blade assembly connecting means disposed on said body portion and engaged with said first handle connecting means to form a pivotal connection therebetween, and a second blade assembly connecting means disposed on said body portion and fixedly interconnected with said second handle connecting means, said second handle connecting means being reciprocally moveable in said handle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 60 words
The invention in accordance with claim 1 in which said first blade assembly connecting means is disposed on a first portion of said blade assembly body portion and said second blade assembly connecting means is disposed on a second portion of said blade assembly body portion, said first and second blade assembly body portions being pivotally joined to each other.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
The invention in accordance with claim 1 in which said reciprocally moveable second handle connecting means is spring biased and is moveable upon application of pressure sufficient to overcome the force exerted by said spring bias.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 36 words
The invention in accordance with claim 2 in which said reciprocally moveable second handle connecting means is spring biased and is moveable upon application of pressure sufficient to overcome the force exerted by said spring bias.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 62 words
The invention in accordance with claim 4 in which movement of said second handle connecting means causes pivotal movement of said blade assembly about said first handle connecting means and pivotal movement between said first portion of said blade assembly body portion and said second portion of said blade assembly body portion, to reduce exposure and blade tangent angle of said system.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 110 words
A shaving system comprising a handle and a blade assembly, the handle comprising first and second connecting means extending from an end thereof, the blade assembly comprising a first body portion having thereon a first blade assembly connecting means and an second body portion having thereon a second blade assembly connecting means, said blade assembly first body portion being pivotally joined to said blade assembly second body portion, said first blade assembly connecting means being pivotally connected to said first handle connecting means, and said second blade assembly connecting means being fixedly connected to said second handle connecting means, said second handle connecting means being reciprocally movable in said handle.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 110 words
A shaving system comprising a handle and a blade assembly, the handle comprising first and second connecting means extending from an end thereof, the blade assembly comprising a first body portion having thereon a first blade assembly connecting means and an second body portion having thereon a second blade assembly connecting means, said blade assembly first body portion being pivotally joined to said blade assembly second body portion, said first blade assembly connecting means being pivotally connected to said first handle connecting means, and said second blade assembly connecting means being fixedly connected to said second handle connecting means, said second handle connecting means being reciprocally movable in said handle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 145 words
A shaving system comprising a blade assembly and a handle, said blade assembly comprising a platform, a cap, blade means permanently disposed between said platform and said cap, a guard disposed forwardly of said platform, web means interconnecting said guard and said platform, pivot connecting means extending from said blade assembly and engaged with complementary pivot connecting means on said handle, and assembly mounting means extending from said guard and interconnected with complementary mounting means on said handle, said assembly mounting means comprising first slide means and said handle mounting means comprising second slide means, said second slide means being disposed in and retained by said first slide means, said handle mounting means being movable in directions generally normal to the plane of said slide means, said web means facilitating pivotal movement between said platform and said guard upon movement of said handle mounting means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 145 words
A shaving system comprising a blade assembly and a handle, said blade assembly comprising a platform, a cap, blade means permanently disposed between said platform and said cap, a guard disposed forwardly of said platform, web means interconnecting said guard and said platform, pivot connecting means extending from said blade assembly and engaged with complementary pivot connecting means on said handle, and assembly mounting means extending from said guard and interconnected with complementary mounting means on said handle, said assembly mounting means comprising first slide means and said handle mounting means comprising second slide means, said second slide means being disposed in and retained by said first slide means, said handle mounting means being movable in directions generally normal to the plane of said slide means, said web means facilitating pivotal movement between said platform and said guard upon movement of said handle mounting means.
