Abstract

A circular suction device A, which can take the form of a suction cup with one or more rotating members C that can rotate around the centre of the suction device to correspond to numbered indicia around the circumference of the device. A separate adhesive label E with numbered indicia can be applied to the surface under the suction device.

Description

1 2447870 Shavin2 blade usage counter
Background
This invention relates to a manual rotary counter that indicates the number of times a shaving blade has been used.
When people shave, it often happens that at the time of shaving, it is difficult to recollect how many times that particular blade has been used before.
ft is common practise then, to either discard the blade prematurely, to avoid shaving with a blunt blade, or to continue using the same blade until it is apparent from discomfort experienced during shaving, and subsequent skin irritations, that the blade has become blunt.
Neither of these two situations described is desirable. In the first instance, a user can waste a considerable amount of money by discarding blades prematurely. In the second instance, users who unknowingly shave with a blade that has become blunt from over-usage, risk developing skin irritations, a rash, spots, and at the very least, experience an uncomfortable shave.
The problem lies in the fact that most shavers cannot with confidence be sure how many times a particular blade has been used before.
Statement of invention
To overcome the above problem, the present invention is a suction device having one or more rotating members. Preferably, the rotating member is a pointer and the suction device is a suction cup with indicia on or under its surface.
In particular, the present invention can take the form of a simple rotary counter to keep track of blade usage, consisting of a circular suction device, a rotary pointer to indicate blade usage by corresponding to equally spaced divisions, either on top of the suction device, or on a printed label underneath the suction device. This will enable the user to utilise every blade to its optimum efficiency, thus saving money by not discarding usable blades prematurely, and also to avoid using blunt blades that result in uncomfortable shaves.
Introduction to drawings:
Figure 1 shows a front view of the device, with indicia marked on top of the Suction device surface.
Figure 2 show an front view of the device, with divisions marked on a separate label adhered to the surface underneath the suction device.

Claims (1)

  1. Detailed description:
    The device can consist of a circular suction device A with a pointer C that rotates externally around the centre of the suction device to correspond with equally spaced numbered indicia B around the external circumference of the suction device. The pointer can consist of a rigid wire strand, shaped around the protrusion D at the external centre of the suction device to allow it to rotate around the centre of the suction device. The protrusion D can have a mushroom shaped profile to facilitate the location and action of the pointer. The pointer will rotate with sufficient ease to move manually by hand, but with sufficient resistance to allow it to remain in its adjusted position. The suction device can be made from a plastics and/or rubber material as is well known in the art.
    The suction device, which can be in the form of a suction cup, and can be applied to a smooth, non-porous surface, typically in the bathroom within reach of the user, by pressing firmly in the centre of the suction device. The pointer C can be rotated by one increment with each shave to correspond to the numbered indicia B on the suction device.
    The suction device can have a protrusion on its outer perimeter to facilitate removal from the surface it is adhered to.
    The equally spaced indicia B can be achieved in several ways: By marking the external face of the suction device with equidistantly spaced raised or indented numbered divisions (see figure 1), or on a separate adhesive label E, which is adhered to the surface directly underneath the suction device (See figure 2). The numbered indicia will be visible to the user through the suction device, which can be translucent. Another alternative is to adhere the adhesive numbered label to the surface of the suction device.
    The numbers can commence at 0 and increment by one in a clockwise manner.
    By rotating the indicator/pointer by one division with each shave, the user is able to accurately keep record of how many times that particular blade has been used.
    Claims: 1) A suction device with one or more manually rotating members.
    2) A suction device according to claim I, in which the one or more manual rotating members are in the form of a pointer 3) A suction device according to claim I or 2, with indicia on its surface 4) A suction device according to claim 3, in which the indicia are indented marks 5) A suction device according to claim 3, in which the indicia are raised marks 6) A suction device according to claim 3, 4 or 5, in which the indicia are numbered marks 7) A suction device according to claim I, with indicia on a separate adhesive label applied to its surface.
    8) A suction device according to claim I, with indicia on a separate adhesive label applied to the surface underneath the suction device.
    9) A suction device according to any of the preceding claims, in which the device is in the form of a suction cup 10) A suction device according to claim 1, in which its outer circumference has a protrusion
