- wet and dry shaving When shaving an uneven skin it can be needed to exert an intense pressure on the razor and hence through the razor blade onto the skin causing some cuttings and also making the skin to be irritated.
- a reduced pressure put to the razor during the shaving avoids cuttings into the skin and in addition decreases the excessive wear of the blades.
- DE 19514228 introduces a method to stretch the skin at the area to be shaved.
- Two rollers are arranged at both sides of a razor. With the shaving strokes one roller is rolled because of the friction between the roller and the skin. The rotation of the said roller is transmitted to the second roller that is designed to move faster than the first roller. The speed difference of the two rollers and the friction between the rollers and the skin makes the skin to be stretched and making it even. Herewith a better shaving on an even skin is possible.
- the transmission system for transmitting the rotation of one roller to the other one needs several cylindrical means that makes the construction quite complicated and the razor some voluminous.
- US 6032372 , GB 2117304 and DE 3303095 introduce a razor with a plurality of adjacently mounted short blades mounted in the razor head; whereby the blades having a high cutting angle.

- FIG. 2 there is shown a detailed view of the razor head 2.
- a drive belt 23 transmits the rotation of one of the rollers 21, 22 to the other roller 22, 21, wherein one of the rollers 21 (here the upper) is driven by means of friction, i.e. against the skin.
- the drive belt 23 is a flat, twisted belt that transmits rotation in an opposite direction of one of the rollers 22 in relation to the driving roller 21, which in this first embodiment is the upper roller 21, when the direction of movement 25 is downwards.
- the directions of rotation of the rollers 21 and 22 are indicated by arrows.
- the shaving direction is shown by another arrow for the direction of intended movement 25 of the razor head 2.
- the razor blades area 20 comprises a plurality of razor blades 20A with gaps 20B between the razor blades 20A.
- a lower edge 20D of the razor blades area 20, and/or an upper edge 20C of the razor blades area 20, that preferably extend/s perpendicularly in relation to the direction of intended movement 25, may serve as a reference for the definition of the cutting angle ⁇ at the razor blades 20A.
- the razor blades area 20 may have various shapes, e.g. rhomboid).

- a lower edge 20D of razor head housing is indicated that serves as reference for the definition of a preferred cutting angle ⁇ , that may be inclined.
- the angle is shown between the lower edge 20D and the cutting edges of the razor blades 20A, which lower edge, in a preferred embodiment, extends perpendicular to the direction of movement 25.
- the inclined cutting angle ⁇ of the razor blades 20A may be between about 30 - 88 degrees preferably 50-88 degrees and more preferred about 80 degrees.
- the length of the razor blades 20A is preferably about 6-10 mm and the width is preferably about 2-4 mm.
- FIGs. 3 and 4 there are shown schematic views of the rollers 21 and 22, having contact bodies 21A and 22A supported by axles 21C, 22C.
- the upper roller 21 comprises an axle 21C with support surfaces 21B that function as bearings, imbedded in (preferably integral with) the razor head housing 24.
- the lower roller 22 comprises an axle 22C with a support surfaces 22B that function as bearings.
- the diameter of contact bodies 21A and 22A of the rollers 21 and 22 are preferably the same and larger than the diameter of the axles 21C and 22C. A contact part of each contact body 21A and 22A will be in contact with the skin during shaving.
- one contact body can move in an opposite direction in relation to the direction of movement 25, to thereby assist in stretching the skin.
- the belt 23 is taut on drive areas 21D, 22D of the axles 21C and 22C, which according to this embodiment is in the form of the axle surfaces themselves and with different axle diameters, thereby achieving different gear ratios related to axle diameters.
- the drive surface of the belt 23 may be flat interacting with flat surfaces 21D, 22D of the axles 21C, 22C.
- the lower roller 22 will be the driving roll and synchronised with the movement of the razor 1 due to contact with the skin. Thanks to the gear ratio due to the different diameters of the axles 21C, 22C, wherein the diameter of the upper roll 21 is smaller than the diameter of the lower roll 22, the rotation of the upper roll 21 will be faster than the rotation of the lower roll 22. Accordingly, the upper roller 21 will stretch the skin in the area of the razor blade area 20.
- the material of the contact body 22A may be adapted to provide a better grip than the upper roll 21.
- a removal device acting to remove some of the foam to possibly improve the grip of the lower roller 22 against the skin.
- a foam applying device (not shown) is arranged between the razorblade area 20 and the lower roller 22.
- Fig. 4 there is shown the rollers 21, 22 similar to that of Fig. 3 , with the difference that the belt 23 is twisted, and also that the diameter of the axles 21C, 22C are the same, i.e. the two rollers 21, 22 may then be identical. However, also with a twisted drive belt 23, different gear ratios may be used, e.g. by means of different axle diameters.
- the upper roller 21 is used as the driving roller. Accordingly, shaving strokes along the skin in the direction of intended movement 25 will put the upper roller 21 in rotation, due to higher friction of the shaved skin area, above upper edge 20C, than the unshaved skin area, below lower edge 20D.
- the lower roller 22 is then driven by the twisted belt 23 to have the contact part of the contact body 22A moving in the shaving direction 25, which results in the skin to be stretched between the two rollers 21 and 22.
- An advantage of this embodiment is that the counter rotation of the lower roller 22 against the shaving direction 25 may raise the hair up and making it easier for the following razor blades 20A to cut the hairs.
- the diameters of the drive areas 21D, 22D of the axles 21C and 22C can be of the same sizes, but may also be of different sizes if adaption of the rotational speed of the lower roller 22 is desired.
- shaving strokes along the skin in the intended shaving direction 25 may also use the upper roller 21 as drive, by having the surface of the upper roller following the skin and the lower rotating slower than the speed of movement 25.
- the slow rotation of the lower roller 22 against the shaving direction may raise hair up and making it easier for the following razor blades 20A to cut the hairs.
- This inverted principle is also feasible with the twisted belt 23 as shown in Fig. 4 , wherein the lower roller 22 will follow the skin and the contact part of the upper roller 21 rotates slower than the speed of movement 25.
- the contact bodies 21A and 22A may be made in various materials (polymer, metal, etc) and formed in various ways (flat surface, dotted surface, dented surface, etc) that are skin friendly.
- the material is in the form of a soft polymer with good friction against skin.
- axles 21C and 22C having the same diameter, arranged with transmission means (e.g. dented rubber wheels) where the diameter of one drive surface/portion 22D driving the belt 23 is to larger than the other one 21D.
- transmission means e.g. dented rubber wheels
- the belt 23 is furthermore possible to lay out the belt 23 as a toothed belt.
- the portions 21D and 22D of the upper axle 21C and the lower axle 22C engaging to the toothed belt 23 will be laid out as gearwheels. If different diameter is used for the drive surfaces 21D, 22D the gear wheel associated with the larger surface will then have more teeth than the gearwheel associated with the smaller surface.
- the upper roller 21 is the driving roller.
- any of the rollers 21, 22 may be the driving roller, i.e. forced by the design to enable the shaving stroke to drive either the roller 21 or 22 by contact with the skin to simultaneously transmit rotation to the other roller.
- shaving can be performed in a dry condition, in a wet condition and / or in a wet condition with application of foam or similar substances.
- improved function may be achieved by arranging for different frictions coefficients between the skin and the respective roller 21, 22, i.e. to arrange for higher friction at the drive roll 21.
- This may be achieved by using different materials in the roller having different frictions coefficients, and/or by using a means, e.g. a strip, below the non-driven roller, that adds a friction reducing layer on the skin to reduce friction of the non-driven roller, such a layer may be eliminated or at least reduced by the razor blade area 20, if the upper roller 21 is used as the driving roll.
- the latter effect When shaving wetly the latter effect will be "arranged for” automatically, i.e. water and/or foam will reduce friction between the skin and the lower roller 22, if the upper roller 21 is driven by the shaving stroke.
- the razor blades area 20 may wipe a large part of the wetness/foam from the skin so that the following driven roller 21 "automatically” has a better condition regarding the available friction between the skin and the upper roller 21.
- a toothed belt 23 together with engaging dented drive areas 21D, 22D of the upper axle 21C and the lower axle 22C, respectively, may be beneficial to reduce risk of slipping effect of the belt 23.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a mechanical razor head for attachment upon a handle comprising a razor head housing that comprises at least one razor blades area having an intended direction of movement; at least one upper roller and at least one lower roller being positioned at the upper and lower sides respectively of the razor head housing and extending laterally to the said direction of movement.
- Generally, the hair shaving on human body and specially the beard shaving is done in two ways, wet and dry shaving. When shaving an uneven skin it can be needed to exert an intense pressure on the razor and hence through the razor blade onto the skin causing some cuttings and also making the skin to be irritated. A reduced pressure put to the razor during the shaving avoids cuttings into the skin and in addition decreases the excessive wear of the blades.
- For overcoming this problem two different attempts have been made as explained below.
DE 19514228 introduces a method to stretch the skin at the area to be shaved. Two rollers are arranged at both sides of a razor. With the shaving strokes one roller is rolled because of the friction between the roller and the skin. The rotation of the said roller is transmitted to the second roller that is designed to move faster than the first roller. The speed difference of the two rollers and the friction between the rollers and the skin makes the skin to be stretched and making it even. Herewith a better shaving on an even skin is possible. It is to be mentioned that the transmission system for transmitting the rotation of one roller to the other one needs several cylindrical means that makes the construction quite complicated and the razor some voluminous. -
US 6032372 ,GB 2117304 DE 3303095 introduce a razor with a plurality of adjacently mounted short blades mounted in the razor head; whereby the blades having a high cutting angle. The high cutting angle has the advantage of an easier hair shaving with a lower pressure to be exerted to the razor. However, the problem with the uneven skin causing a higher pressure to be exerted to the razor is still present. - It is an object of the present invention to eliminate or at least minimize the above-mentioned problems, which is achieved by a mechanical razor having a razor housing that is mounted upon a handle; whereby the razor housing has an area of razor blades, two rollers, an upper one and a lower one, being positioned at the upper and lower sides of the razor housing; whereby the rotation of one of the rollers is transmitted to the other roller. The shaving stroke puts one of the rollers for example the upper roller in rotation.
- Thanks to the invention the transmission of the rotation from one roller to the other one is done by a simple drive belt so that the razor becomes a very compact and simple one.
- According to a further aspect of the invention, by twisting the drive belt, it is possible to role the two rollers in two different directions making it easier to stretch the skin and so leveling out the skin folds.
The mentioned easier stretching of the skin lowers the pressure to be exerted to the razor, reduces or removes the skin irritation. It reduces also the wear on the razor blades. - According to another aspect of the invention the razor has a razor housing with an area of razor blades encompassing a plurality of razor blades with gaps between them, whereby the razor blades are oblique with reference to the razor housing and having high cutting angle.
The high cutting angle has the advantage of an easier hair shaving with a lower pressure to be exerted to the razor.
It avoids cutting into the skin and reduces or removes the skin irritation. - According to another aspect of the invention the razor has a razor housing with an area of razor blades encompassing a unity razor having a plurality of blade edges with gaps between blade edges, whereby the razor blades are oblique. The unity razor can be a punched and polished foil with a plurality of sharp blade edges.
- According to another aspect of the invention the razor is a powered razor that has only a single roller which is the upper roller, driven by an for example an electrical drive that has an electrical energy source as a battery, an accumulator or an electricity network. It is possible also to use a pneumatic drive with a static pressure as the energy source.
A switch can be employed to turn on and off the drive.
A control system can be used to adjust the needed rotation speed of the roller.
The advantage of the driven roller is that only one roller is enough to provide the skin stretching with a minimum pressure, which is even smaller than needed for the mechanical razor and it works still with some applied shaving lotion. - According to another aspect of the invention the razor is an electrical razor that has only a single powered roller which is a lower roller, rotating in the direction of the shaving stroke drawing the hair to be cut so that the following razor blades cut the hair very shortly.
- According to another aspect of the invention the rollers of the razor are made of soft polymers with good friction against skin to enable a good stretching with a small pressure exerted to the razor.
- According to another aspect of the invention the razor has a transmission means which can be for example a flexible shaft with a gear means that can be a worm gear having a worm that is connected to one end of the said transmission means, and a worm wheel connected to the single roller.
This saves weight and space so that the razor becomes light and slender. - The razor can be used for both wet shaving and dry shaving.

Fig. 1 , there is shown a mechanical razor 1 having arazor head 2 mounted upon ahandle 3. Therazor head 2 has arazor head housing 24 with arazor blades area 20, anupper roller 21 and alower roller 22 being positioned at the upper and lower sides of therazor head housing 24. - In
Fig. 2 , there is shown a detailed view of therazor head 2. Adrive belt 23 transmits the rotation of one of therollers other roller drive belt 23 is a flat, twisted belt that transmits rotation in an opposite direction of one of therollers 22 in relation to thedriving roller 21, which in this first embodiment is theupper roller 21, when the direction ofmovement 25 is downwards. The directions of rotation of therollers movement 25 of therazor head 2. Therazor blades area 20 comprises a plurality ofrazor blades 20A withgaps 20B between therazor blades 20A. Alower edge 20D of therazor blades area 20, and/or anupper edge 20C of therazor blades area 20, that preferably extend/s perpendicularly in relation to the direction of intendedmovement 25, may serve as a reference for the definition of the cutting angle α at therazor blades 20A. (However, it does not limit the invention to that preferred embodiment, i.e. therazor blades area 20 may have various shapes, e.g. rhomboid). As shown preferably therollers movement 25, i.e. preferably also in parallel with the upper edges andlower edge razor blades area 20. - In
Fig. 2 alower edge 20D of razor head housing is indicated that serves as reference for the definition of a preferred cutting angle α, that may be inclined. The angle is shown between thelower edge 20D and the cutting edges of therazor blades 20A, which lower edge, in a preferred embodiment, extends perpendicular to the direction ofmovement 25. The inclined cutting angle α of therazor blades 20A may be between about 30 - 88 degrees preferably 50-88 degrees and more preferred about 80 degrees. The length of therazor blades 20A is preferably about 6-10 mm and the width is preferably about 2-4 mm. - In
Figs. 3 and 4 , there are shown schematic views of therollers contact bodies axles upper roller 21 comprises anaxle 21C with support surfaces 21B that function as bearings, imbedded in (preferably integral with) therazor head housing 24. Similarly, thelower roller 22 comprises anaxle 22C with a support surfaces 22B that function as bearings. The diameter ofcontact bodies rollers axles contact body - Depending on which one of the
rollers belt 23 is arranged to transmit movement to the other roller, one contact body can move in an opposite direction in relation to the direction ofmovement 25, to thereby assist in stretching the skin. - In
Fig. 3 thebelt 23 is taut ondrive areas axles belt 23 may be flat interacting withflat surfaces axles lower roller 22 will be the driving roll and synchronised with the movement of the razor 1 due to contact with the skin. Thanks to the gear ratio due to the different diameters of theaxles upper roll 21 is smaller than the diameter of thelower roll 22, the rotation of theupper roll 21 will be faster than the rotation of thelower roll 22. Accordingly, theupper roller 21 will stretch the skin in the area of therazor blade area 20. - In order to increase friction of the
lower roller 22, that is the driving roller, the material of thecontact body 22A may be adapted to provide a better grip than theupper roll 21. Moreover, it is foreseen that if shaving foam is being used there is arranged a removal device (not shown) acting to remove some of the foam to possibly improve the grip of thelower roller 22 against the skin. Another alternative is that no foam is applied beforehand but that a foam applying device (not shown) is arranged between therazorblade area 20 and thelower roller 22. - In
Fig. 4 , there is shown therollers Fig. 3 , with the difference that thebelt 23 is twisted, and also that the diameter of theaxles rollers twisted drive belt 23, different gear ratios may be used, e.g. by means of different axle diameters. - In the above described embodiments, it is foreseen to possibly employ a plurality of belts, e.g. two
belts 23, one on each side of theaxles - In the embodiment shown in
fig 4 (and alsoFig. 2 ) theupper roller 21 is used as the driving roller. Accordingly, shaving strokes along the skin in the direction of intendedmovement 25 will put theupper roller 21 in rotation, due to higher friction of the shaved skin area, aboveupper edge 20C, than the unshaved skin area, belowlower edge 20D. Thelower roller 22 is then driven by thetwisted belt 23 to have the contact part of thecontact body 22A moving in the shavingdirection 25, which results in the skin to be stretched between the tworollers lower roller 22 against the shavingdirection 25 may raise the hair up and making it easier for the followingrazor blades 20A to cut the hairs. As mentioned above, the diameters of thedrive areas axles lower roller 22 is desired. - In an alternative to the embodiment shown in
Fig 3 , shaving strokes along the skin in the intended shavingdirection 25 may also use theupper roller 21 as drive, by having the surface of the upper roller following the skin and the lower rotating slower than the speed ofmovement 25. Also in this embodiment, the slow rotation of thelower roller 22 against the shaving direction may raise hair up and making it easier for the followingrazor blades 20A to cut the hairs. This inverted principle is also feasible with thetwisted belt 23 as shown inFig. 4 , wherein thelower roller 22 will follow the skin and the contact part of theupper roller 21 rotates slower than the speed ofmovement 25. - The
contact bodies - It is also possible to achieve different gear ratios with
axles portion 22D driving thebelt 23 is to larger than theother one 21D. - It is furthermore possible to lay out the
belt 23 as a toothed belt. In this case, also theportions upper axle 21C and thelower axle 22C engaging to thetoothed belt 23 will be laid out as gearwheels. If different diameter is used for the drive surfaces 21D, 22D the gear wheel associated with the larger surface will then have more teeth than the gearwheel associated with the smaller surface. - In order to achieve the desired effect of the invention of the
mechanical razor head 2 described above, it is necessary to use friction to drive only one of therollers upper roller 21 is the driving roller. However, it is also foreseen that any of therollers roller - Generally, shaving can be performed in a dry condition, in a wet condition and / or in a wet condition with application of foam or similar substances.
- When dry shaving the shaving friction against the skin is with regard to the
rollers respective roller drive roll 21. This may be achieved by using different materials in the roller having different frictions coefficients, and/or by using a means, e.g. a strip, below the non-driven roller, that adds a friction reducing layer on the skin to reduce friction of the non-driven roller, such a layer may be eliminated or at least reduced by therazor blade area 20, if theupper roller 21 is used as the driving roll. - When shaving wetly the latter effect will be "arranged for" automatically, i.e. water and/or foam will reduce friction between the skin and the
lower roller 22, if theupper roller 21 is driven by the shaving stroke. In this case therazor blades area 20 may wipe a large part of the wetness/foam from the skin so that the following drivenroller 21 "automatically" has a better condition regarding the available friction between the skin and theupper roller 21. - A
toothed belt 23 together with engaging denteddrive areas upper axle 21C and thelower axle 22C, respectively, may be beneficial to reduce risk of slipping effect of thebelt 23. - According to the embodiments above when shaving, the skin is stretched between the two
rollers - In
Fig. 5, 6 and7 , there is shown a powered razor 1 as a first modification to the mechanical razor ofFigures 1 and 2 , wherein merely onepowered roller razor head 2, with arazor head housing 24 that is mounted upon ahandle 3. Therazor head housing 24 comprises arazor blades area 20 and aroller 21 at the upper side ofrazor head housing 24, i.e. aboverazor blades area 20 in relation to direction ofmovement 25. The rotation direction of theroller 21 is indicated by an arrow inFig. 5 . Alower friction strip 122F may be arranged at the lower part of therazor head housing 24. - In
Fig. 6 , there is shown a rear view of a powered razor 1 of first modification, schematically disclosing that adrive 123 and anenergy source 124 are integrated in thehandle 3. Thehandle 3 further encompasses a transmission means 125 that together with thedrive 123 are supported by asupport member 103 in thehandle 3. Thetransmission 125 comprises ahose 125H, preferably flexible, and aflexible shaft 125S that extends in a curved manner (seeFigures 7 and 8 ), that transfers rotation from thedrive 123 to the top of thehandle 3. Aworm gear 126 transfers movement to thesingle roller 121 by means of having aworm wheel 125W at the end of theflexible shaft 125S as explained more in detail in relation toFig. 8 below. - The
drive 123 can be an electrical drive powered by theenergy source 124 that can be a battery, an accumulator and/or an electricity network. Theelectrical energy 124 can be turned on or out by means of aswitch 127. A control system (not shown) can be used to adjust the needed rotation speed of the roller. Thedrive 123 can be a pneumatic drive with a static pressure as theenergy source 124. - In a preferred embodiment of the electrical razor 1 of the first modification (
Fig. 5, 6 and7 ) it comprises only anupper roller 21 at the upper side of therazor head housing 24 and preferably alower friction strip 122F that is arranged at the lower part of therazor head housing 24. Thecontact body 21A of theroller 21 and thelower friction strip 122F may be made of skin friendly, soft polymers with good friction against skin. When turning on the switch 127 (Fig. 6 ) the transmission means 125 is powered to put theflexible shaft 125S and thereby theworm wheel 125W into rotation that on its part rotates theupper roller 21, providing theroller 21 with a rotation in a direction to stretch the skin in a direction against the shavingdirection 25. Accordingly, during the shaving procedure the skin is stretched between theroller 21 and the parts below of therazor housing 24, e.g. including afriction strip 122F, resulting in improved shaving result. It may also eliminate cutting into the skin and reduce skin irritation. Further, it may allow the pressure exerted to the razor and thus to the skin to be reduced. - In
Fig. 8 , there is shown a perspective detailed view of part of the transmission of a powered razor 1 according to the first modification of the invention. Theroller 21 has a mid-section 121M, having a smaller diameter than the roller parts. The mid-section 121M is provided withdents 121W adapted to be driven by theworm wheel 125W of thetransmission 126. Theworm wheel 125W is positioned at the top of thetransmission shaft 125S that extends within thetransmission housing 125H within the handle. When turning on the switch 127 (seeFig. 6 ) the transmission means 125 is powered to put theroller 21 into rotation. The midsection 121M is covered by abridge 24A of thehousing 24 preventing thetransmission 126 to be in contact with the skin to be shaved. - In
Fig. 9 , there is shown a second embodiment of powered razor 1 according to the first modification. Alower roller 22 is positioned at the lower side of therazor head housing 24 and anupper friction strip 121F may be positioned at the upper side of therazor head housing 24. The rotation direction of thesingle roller 22 is indicated by an arrow. Theroller 22 and theupper friction strip 121F are preferably made of skin friendly, soft polymers with good friction against skin. When turning on the switch 127 (seeFig. 6 ) the transmission means 125 is powered to put thelower roller 22 into rotation. Thelower roller 22 will rotate to stretch the skin in the same direction as that 125 of shaving direction. Accordingly, in this embodiment during shaving the skin is stretched between theroller 22 and the upper part of the shavinghead 2, providing basically the same function as described above. - An advantage of the embodiments of the first modification shown in
Fig. 5-7 and9 is that only one roller is needed to provide the skin stretching, which is less than needed for the mechanical razor and it may work well despite some applied shaving foam because therazor blades area 20 will wipe the foam away so that the followingroller 21 has good friction with the skin. - In a second modification of the invention the powered razor 1 (not shown) comprises an arrangement, wherein both
rollers Figures 1, 2 andFigures 5-9 ; i.e. by providing powered rotation to oneroller - According to a second embodiment of the second modification both
rollers flexible shaft 125S. - In a first alternative, according to this second embodiment of the second modification the transmission means 126 comprises an
upper worm wheel 125W that rotates anupper worm wheel 121W associated with theupper roller 21, as presented inFig 7 . Further, there is a lower worm wheel (not shown, but basically the same principle as above) at a lower location of theflexible shaft 125S, that rotates thelower roller 22 in a direction opposite to the upper roller, as indicated inFig 2 , i.e. thelower roller 22 having a rotation stretching the skin in the same direction as the shavingdirection 25 and theupper roller 21 stretching in an opposite direction. In this first alternative theshaft 125S is arranged with aworm 125W having two parts. One part is left threaded and the other part is right threaded (not shown). When turning on the switch 127 (Fig. 6 ) theshaft 125S is powered to put the worms into rotation that on its part rotates theupper worm wheel 121W associated with theupper roller 21 by the means of the left threads and the lower worm wheel (not shown) associated with thelower roller 22 by the means of the right threads. Accordingly, during the shaving procedure, the skin is stretched between the fasterupper roller 21 and the slowerlower roller 22 allowing the pressure exerted to the razor and thus to the skin to be reduced. - In a second alternative, of the second embodiment of the second modification, the two
rollers same worm 125W at theshaft 125S. For example, the lower worm wheel 22 (not shown) may be arranged to rotate at a speed appropriate for movement of therazor head 2, i.e. possibly controlling the speed of movement by pushing in the intended direction ofmovement 125, and having theupper roller 21 rotating substantially faster. This may be achieved by having different gear ratios in relation to therollers lower roller 22 than at theupper worm wheel 121W. Hence, the transmission ratio makes theupper roller 21 rotating faster than thelower roller 22. - Also in the first alternative, different gear ratios may be used, e.g. the second thread may have a smaller thread gradient than the upper so that the lower worm wheel and hence the
lower roller 22 rotates more slowly than theupper roller 21. - The invention is not limited to what has been described above, but may be varied within the scope of the appended claims. It is evident for the skilled person, for example, the
razor blades area 20 may be designed in various ways, i.e. that the design thereof is not essential to achieve the basic function of the invention, e.g. preferably a plurality of separate blades are arranged in a desired pattern (as shown and described above) or therazor blades area 20 may be in the form of a unity razor blade having a plurality of blade edges withgaps 20B between blade edges, having punched blade foils with sharp blade edges. Moreover, it is evident for the skilled person, that further combinations of the embodiments described above may be used to adapt the basic function to different needs/desires. With the above mentioned features of the invention a plurality of basic embodiments are disclosed that serve in the following to design some further embodiments that are combinations thereof. - As is evident for the skilled person from what has been described above a number of various combinations are feasible to achieve the desired function and it is evident for the skilled person that a large variety of materials and shapes may be used to adapt to different desires, which adaptations fall within the ambit of the invention.
