CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 119(a), this application claims the benefit of earlier filing date and right of priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0153911, filed on Nov. 27, 2019, the contents of which are all hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure in some embodiments relates to a razor cartridge and a method of manufacturing the same.

BACKGROUND

The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

A razor cartridge includes a shaving blade having a cutting edge, a blade housing for accommodating the shaving blade, and a clip for holding the shaving blade in the blade housing.

In general, the clip has an elongated strip shape. In particular, the clip includes two legs formed on both sides thereof and a blade retaining portion disposed in the middle thereof.

With the blade support facing at least a portion of the shaving blade, the two legs surround the sides of the blade housing (i.e., out-board clip fastening method), or the two legs pass through the blade housing (i.e., in-board clip fastening method), or one of the two legs wraps around one side of the blade housing and the other passes through the blade housing (i.e., rear-wrap clip fastening method), so that the clip may be fixed to the blade housing. However, the conventional strip-shaped clip has several deficiencies.

For example, the conventional strip-shaped clip requires a process of bending an end of a leg that surrounds one side of the blade housing or passes through the blade housing.

Further, arranging at least one leg of the clip to pass through the blade housing requires a process of inserting and penetrating the end of the leg into a through-hole of the blade housing. In other words, the conventional strip-shaped clip has the very cumbersomeness of fixing it to the blade housing.

On the other hand, the conventional strip-shaped clip is generally made of a material that is easy to process such as bending or cutting. Accordingly, the conventional strip-shaped clip has a weakness in that it is easy for a user to arbitrarily open the end of the clip, and it is easily damaged by an external force or an external impact.

In this case, the shaving blade held by the clip is susceptible to be separated from the blade housing, thereby threatening the user's safety shaving.

SUMMARY

According to at least one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a razor cartridge including at least one or more shaving blades each having a cutting edge, a blade housing configured to accommodate the one or more shaving blades in a longitudinal direction of the blade housing, and at least one or more clips each configured to fix the one or more shaving blades to the blade housing and having a shape of a closed loop.
