    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    [001] The invention relates to adapters for shaving or hair removal cartridges, to shaving or hair removal kits that include a cartridge and adapter, to a shaving or hair removal device that has a shaving or hair removal cable and such a shaving or waxing methods. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [002] In particular, the invention relates to shaving or hair removal cartridges and shaving or hair removal devices that have a shaving or hair removal aid attached directly to the shaving or hair removal cartridge.
    [003] Such shaving or shaving devices avoid the use of shaving or shaving preparations, such as shaving foam, gel or cream or epilation for application to the skin after shaving or waxing. In addition, such a shaving or waxing aid supplied directly in the shaving or waxing cartridge allows shaving or waxing in a wet shaving or waxing environment, for example, in a bath where shaving or waxing preparations will be removed immediately by water before that the surface can be shaved or shaved.
    [004] Therefore, the shaving or hair removal cartridges were provided with additional hair removal aids attached to the shaving or hair removal cartridge in order to improve shaving or hair removal.
    [005] However, shaving or hair removal cartridges with additional shaving or hair removal aids are permanently connected to shaving or hair removal aids. As a result, when the shaving or shaving aid is worn out, while the shaving or waxing blades do not lose their thread, the entire shaving or waxing cartridge (with the additional shaving or waxing aid) needs to be discarded unless shaving or shaving is performed. hair removal must be achieved in a degraded manner.
    [006] Therefore, the known shaving or shaving cartridges do not allow shaving or shaving in good condition once the shaving or shaving aid is worn out, except by changing the entire shaving or shaving cartridge. In addition, the user has the option of removing one or more of the shaving or waxing aids, for example, when precision is required or for hygienic reasons. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [007] For this purpose, an adapter is provided for a shaving or waxing cartridge, where the adapter is provided with at least one shaving or waxing aid and where the adapter is slidably mountable on a shaving cartridge or waxing which has one or more razor or shaving blades, with each razor or shaving razor having a cutting edge.
    [008] For this purpose, an adapter is provided for a shaving or waxing cartridge, where the adapter is provided with at least one shaving or waxing aid and where the adapter is reversibly mountable on a shaving cartridge or waxing which has one or more razor or shaving blades, with each razor or shaving razor having a cutting edge.
    [009] For this purpose, an adapter is provided for a shaving or waxing cartridge, where the adapter comprises a frame that is provided with at least one shaving or waxing aid, where the adapter is mountable on a shaving cartridge or shaving that has one or more shaving or shaving blades, each shaving or shaving blade having a cutting edge and the at least one shaving or shaving aid being reversibly mounted on the structure.
    [010] The reversibility of the adapter of the invention can refer to a plane (the shaving or waxing aid is reversed by rotation around a geometric axis perpendicular to that plane), in which the same can also mean in relation to an axis geometric contained in that plane (the shaving or waxing aid is reverted by rotation around a geometric axis contained in that plane).
    [011] When reversibility is made in one plane (for example, the plane containing the cutting edges), at least one shaving or waxing aid location will change in relation to the position of the cutting edge. More precisely, when the shaving or waxing aid is located so as to move forward in front of the cutting edges, after being reversed it will be located so behind the cutting edges. This means that the same surface as the shaving or shaving aid is used for shaving; it is only its location relative to the blades that changes.
    [012] When reversibility is made perpendicular to a plane (for example, the plane containing the cutting edges), at least one shaving or waxing aid location will not change in relation to the position of the cutting edge. More precisely, when the shaving or waxing aid is located facing the front in front of the cutting edges, after being reversed it will still be located in front of the cutting edges. This means that an opposite surface of the shaving or shaving aid is used for hair removal; in this case the shaving or waxing aid preferably has a first face and a second opposite face.
    [013] The adapter of the present invention thus allows for additional use of a shaving or waxing cartridge when the shaving or waxing aid is worn out.
    [014] In various embodiments of the invention, one and / or the other of the following features can be incorporated into the adapter alone or in mutual combination: - the adapter is adapted to be slidably mountable and / or mountable by pressure fitting or by closure on a shaving or shaving cartridge that has one or more shaving or shaving blades, with each shaving or shaving blade having a cutting edge. - which further comprises a structure, the structure having a first wall, a second wall opposite to said first wall, a side wall extending from said first wall to said second wall, a first end and a second opposite end, the first wall having a first opening, in which the structure is mountable on a shaving or shaving cartridge in such a way that the cutting edge of one or more shaving or shaving blades is discovered and is accessible through the first opening for hair removal; in this case, the second wall of the frame may have a second opening and the frame may be mountable on a shaving or shaving cartridge in such a way that the cutting edge of one or more shaving or shaving blades is uncovered and accessible via or the first or second opening; furthermore, the structure can comprise two parts connected by a hinge; furthermore, the first end may have a first end opening and the structure is capable of being slidably mountable on a shaving or waxing cartridge through the first end opening. - the adapter is adapted to receive the shaving or epilation cartridge by chafing. - the adapter is releasably mountable on the shaving or epilation cartridge. - the adapter is elastically mountable on the shaving or epilation cartridge. - the at least one shaving or waxing aid has a shaving or waxing aid body comprising a lubricant, a moisturizer, a conditioner and / or an exfoliator. - the adapter additionally comprises at least one shaving or shaving aid holder configured to support the at least one shaving or shaving aid and especially the shaving or shaving aid body. - which further comprises a structure, in which the at least one shaving or waxing aid is releasable in relation to the structure. - which additionally comprises a structure, in which the at least one shaving or waxing aid is immobile in relation to the structure.

    [020] In the different Figures, the same reference signs designate identical or similar elements. DESCRIPTION OF REALIZATIONS OF THE INVENTION
    [021] Figures 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A and 9A illustrate a wet shaving or shaving apparatus (10) according to the invention, which comprises a shaving or shaving appliance handle (12), a shaving cartridge shaving or shaving (14) and an adapter (16) that can be connected to the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) as illustrated in the Figures in such a way as to form a shaving or shaving set (18).
    [022] More precisely, Figures 1A to 1K and 2A to 2F illustrate an adapter connected to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) by pressing on a shaving or epilation cartridge (14), Figures 3A to 3B and 4A to 4H illustrate an adapter slidably mounted on a shaving or shaving cartridge (14), Figures 5A through 5B illustrate an adapter mounted by closure on a shaving or shaving cartridge (14) and Figures 9A through 9C illustrate an adapter that has shaving or waxing aids reversibly mounted on the adapter frame.
    [023] The adapters shown in the Figures can be reversible or not as revealed later in this document.
    [024] As depicted in the Figures, the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) has one or more shaving or shaving blades (20), with each shaving or shaving blade (20) having a cutting edge (22). More precisely, the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) comprises a housing (24) that has a front edge (24A) and a rear edge (24B), an upper face (24C) and an opposite lower face (24D) and on which one or more razors or shaving blades (20) are located (between the front edge and the rear edge). The shaving or shaving blades (20) can be mounted mobile on elastic fingers provided in the housing or can be fixed. The number of shaving or shaving blades (20) can be between one and five, for example, and is preferably three to four.
    [025] The housing (24) is preferably elongated, extending along a longitudinal geometric axis X-X. A protection bar (26) and respectively a lubricating tape (28) can also be provided on the upper face (24C) of the housing (24), respectively in front of the shaving or shaving blades (20) and behind them.
    [026] The cutting edge (22) of each shaver or epilation machine (20) preferably extends longitudinally along the longitudinal geometric axis X-X.
    [027] The shaving or shaving set is provided with connection means to connect the shaving or shaving set (18) to the cable of the shaving or shaving device (12). More precisely, both the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) and the adapter (16) can be provided with connection means for connecting the shaving or shaving set (18) to the shaving or waxing cable (12). According to the means of connection, the connection between the shaving or waxing cable (12) and the shaving or waxing set (18) is fixed or pivoting.
    [028] In the examples depicted in the figures, the connection means (30) (as best seen in Figures 4H, 6 and 7) allow a pivot of the shaving or epilation set (18) referring to the shaving or waxing cable ( 12) (around the elongated geometric axis XX), but the invention is not limited to a set of shaving or pivoting shaving. As illustrated, the connection means (30) are preferably provided in the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) (on the bottom face (24D) of the housing (24)), especially when the adapter (16) is reversible as described in detail below .
    [029] The reversibility revealed in the present invention concerns two types: - a reversibility around the longitudinal geometric axis XX. - reversibility substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal geometric axis X-X.
    [030] The connection means (30) can comprise bushings with a bushing, especially when the shaving or shaving set (18) is pivoting in relation to the shaving or waxing cable (12), but the invention is not limited to that kind of connection means. In addition, the handle (12) can be detachable from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) or non-detachable according to the shaving or epilation apparatus; more precisely, the handle (12) is detachable when the shaver or hair removal device is a system (which means that the shaving or hair removal cartridge (14) is replaced with a new one when the blades have lost their thread, while the cable is maintained ), while the handle is non-detachable when the shaving or shaving device is a disposable one (meaning that both the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) and the handle are changed to new ones when the blades have lost their thread).
    [031] The adapter (16) of the invention is provided with at least one shaving or waxing aid and is preferably provided with two shaving or waxing aids or four shaving or waxing aids (not shown). In the examples depicted in the figures, the adapter (16) is equipped with one or two shaving or waxing aids (32) (one of which is located in front of the blade at the front and the other is located behind the blade at the back, when the adapter (16) is mounted on the shaving or epilation cartridge (14)). Shaving or waxing aids (32) extend longitudinally along the longitudinal geometric axis X-X. In addition, at least one or two other shaving or waxing aids can additionally be provided on the adapter (not pictured), more precisely on its side faces, obliquely in relation to the cutting edges.
    [032] As best seen in Figures 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A the adapter (16) preferably comprises a structure (34) that has a first wall (36) (top surface), a second wall (38) (surface bottom) opposite to said first wall (36), a side wall (40) extending from said first wall (36) to said second wall (38), a first end (42) and an opposite second end (44) to the first end (42).
    [033] The first wall (36) has a first opening (36A) and the second wall (38) of the structure has a second opening (38A) as best seen in Figures 1C, 2C, 3B, 4B-4F, 5B, 6 and 7. Referring to Figures 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A when the frame (34) is mounted on the shaving or shaving cartridge (14), the cutting edge (22) of the shaving or shaving blades (20) it is at least partially, preferably totally (Figure 2A, 4A and 5A), discovered by the adapter and is accessible through the first opening (36A) to allow shaving or epilation, while the second opening (38A) allows that the connection means (30) are accessible and are connected to a razor or shaving cable.
    [034] When the adapter is reversible around the geometric axis XX, the second opening (38A) is also designed, as detailed later, in such a way that the cutting edge of one or more shaving or shaving blades is at least partially uncovered and is accessible through the second opening (38A) when the adapter is reversed in the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) (by rotation about the geometric axis XX).
    [035] Referring to Figures 1A to 1C and 1H to 1K, Figures 2A to 2F, 4A to 4G and Figures 5A to 5B, when the adapter (16) is reversibly mountable on the shaving or epilation cartridge (14 ), the frame (34) can be reversibly mountable on the shaving or epilation cartridge (14); in the latter case, the cutting edge (22) of the shaving or shaving blades (20) is at least partially, preferably totally, discovered by the adapter (16) and is accessible through the second opening (38A) in order to allow shaving or shaving, while the first opening (36A) allows the connecting means (30) to be accessible and connected to a razor or shaving cable. Thus, in this case, the adapter frame (34) can be mounted on the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) in such a way that the cutting edges (22) are accessible through both the first opening (36A) and the second opening (38A). For the embodiments depicted in Figures 1A to 1C and 1H to 1K and in Figures 2A to 2F (press fit), according to the shape and dimension of the first opening (36A) and the second opening (38A), the connection with the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) can be obtained from the first opening (36A) and / or from the second opening (38A) (Figures 1H and 2E).
    [036] The adapter (16) may additionally comprise at least one shaving or shaving aid holder configured to support the at least one shaving or shaving aid. More precisely, as best seen in Figure 8, which illustrates only the adapter (without the shaving or waxing cartridge and the cable), the adapter (16) comprises two holders for shaving or waxing (46), each of which is endowed with shaving or waxing aid (32).
    [037] When the adapter has only a shaving or waxing aid (32) and is attached to a shaving or waxing cartridge (see figure 1A), only a shaving or waxing aid holder (46) is provided and the it even extends outwards from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) when the adapter (16) is mounted on the shaving or epilation cartridge (14). The holders for shaving or waxing (46) can be located in front of the blade further ahead (and in front of the protection bar (26) when it exists) or as shown in Figure 1A, it can be located behind the blade. blade further back (and behind the grease strip (28) when it exists).
    [038] When attached to a shaving or waxing cartridge (see figures 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A), one of the holders for shaving or waxing (46) extends outwards in relation to the shaving or waxing cartridge ( 14) when the adapter (16) is mounted on the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) and is located in front of the blade further ahead (and in front of the protection bar (26) when it exists) and the other is located behind the blade further back (and behind the grease strip (28) when it exists).
    [039] Each shaving or waxing aid (32) has a shaving or waxing aid body (32) which is preferably solid and which may comprise a lubricant, a moisturizer, a conditioner and / or an exfoliator.
    [040] Shaving or waxing aids (32) can be designed in such a way that they are provided with two opposite faces. More precisely, each shaving or waxing aid (32) has a first face (32A) and an opposite second face (32B). The shape of shaving or waxing aids can be of different types; for example, the shapes of the first and second faces (32A), (32B) can be a square surface, a rectangular surface, or an oval surface, etc., as long as they provide a face (32A) or (32B) that comes into contact with the skin during shaving or waxing. The thickness T32 of each shaving or shaving aid (32) is adapted to the height of the adapter and to the height of the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) in such a way that when the adapter is mounted on the shaving or waxing cartridge (14 ), the corresponding face (32A) (or 32B) comes into contact with the user's skin during shaving or epilation (and at least one of the cutting edges is also in contact with the user's skin during shaving or epilation).
    [041] The shaving or waxing aid holder is configured to support shaving or waxing aids (32) in such a way that during shaving or waxing only one side (32A), (32B) is used for each shaving aid shaving or waxing (32). This means that as depicted in Figure 1A, when the first face (32A) of the shaving or shaving aid (32) is capable of being used during shaving or waxing, the opposite faces (32B) are not accessible to be used for shaving or waxing. shaving or waxing. This means that as shown in Figures 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A, when the adapter is equipped with two shaving or waxing aids, the first two faces (32A) of the shaving or waxing aids (32) are able to be used during the shaving or waxing, while the two opposite faces (32B) are not accessible for use for shaving or waxing.
    [042] When the adapter (16) is reversible around the X-X geometry axis, both sides of each shaving or waxing aid (32) can be used in succession. In reality, the first face (32A) of each shaving or shaving aid (32) is useful when the cutting edges (22) are accessible through the first opening (36A), while the second face (32B) of each shaving or shaving aid (32) is useful when the cutting edges (22) are accessible through the second opening (38A) (after having reversed the adapter in the shaving or waxing cartridge). In this way, when the first face (32A) of the shaving or waxing aids (32) is worn, the adapter (16) can be reversed by the user in such a way that the second face (32B) of each shaving or waxing aid ( 32) can be used during shaving or additional hair removal (as shown in Figures 1G, 2F and 4G).
    [043] As already mentioned, the adapter of the invention can be mounted on the shaving or epilation cartridge, in a sliding way, by pressing and / or closing. In addition, the adapter of the invention can be reversible or not. To be changed (either by reversion or by a new adapter), the adapter is preferably detachable from the shaving or waxing cartridge. In addition, the adapter of the invention can be reversible around the longitudinal geometric axis X-X and / or transversely thereto.
    [044] The adapter (16) preferably receives the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) by friction in such a way that it can be mounted and naturally maintained in the shaving or waxing cartridge (14); this means that the structure (34) of the adapter (16) is designed to cooperate with friction with the housing (24) of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14).
    [045] The adapter can also be elastically mountable on the shaving or epilation cartridge; more precisely, the structure (34) of the adapter can deform elastically during its connection with the shaving or waxing cartridge (14). This means that the elasticity of the structure (34) is greater than that of shaving or waxing accommodation (24).
    [046] According to the frictional forces and the elasticity of the adapter, after assembly, the adapter (16) can be definitively connected to the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) or preferably with free movement (that is, so detachable) connected to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14). When the adapter (16) is releasably connected to the shaving or shaving cartridge (14), the friction between the adapter (16) and the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) can be such that the adapter (16) be kept in the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) in such a way that it allows shaving or waxing without any risk of detachment. In addition, the voluntary release / detachment of the adapter (16) from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) can be performed without the use of significant force (a child can achieve separation of the adapter from the shaving or epilation cartridge) and without help from any tool.
    [047] When the adapter (16) is releasably connected (detachable) to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14), the user can shave or epilate with or without the adapter. In addition, when shaving or shaving aids (32) are worn out, the user can change the adapter with a new one, while maintaining the same shaving or waxing cartridge (14) and the same shaving or waxing cable (12 ).
    [048] In summary, in relation to the different types of connections between the adapter and the cartridge as described above (pressure fitting, sliding, closing), the adapter (16) of the invention can be reversibly mounted on the shaving cartridge or hair removal (14).
    [049] The reversibility of the adapter (16) can be achieved either with a reversible structure (34) as described above (with reference to Figures 1A to 11C and 1F to 1K, Figures 2A to 2F, 4A to 4H and Figures 5A to 5B) and / or with reversible shaving or shaving aids (32) as described later in this document and with reference to Figures 9A to 9C and 10. When shaving or shaving aids (32) are worn, the user it can therefore either reverse the structure (34) of the adapter (16) in the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) or reverse the shaving or epilation aid in the shaving or epilation cartridge, more precisely in the structure in which they are fixed in reversible mode. In addition, the shaving or waxing aid may be releasable in relation to the structure in such a way that it can be changed by another when worn or kept being reversed in the structure to allow its second face to be used.
    [050] When shaving or waxing aids (32) are maintained in a non-releasable (inseparable or non-detachable) manner in holders of shaving or waxing (46), they are preferably molded in the latter. As best seen in Figure 8, holders of shaving or shaving aids (46) are preferably provided with holes (48) through which shaving or waxing aids (32) can spread during manufacture. After manufacture, the shaving or waxing aids (32) are not detachable from the shaving or waxing aid holders (46), as anchored in the shaving or waxing aid holders (46).
    [051] Shaving or waxing aid holders (46) can be unitary with the adapter frame (34) (16) and extend from the side wall (40) in such a way that shaving or waxing aid holders ( 46) are connected in a non-releasable way (inseparably) to the structure (34) as shown in Figure 6.
    [052] When the shaving or waxing aid (32) is worn, the user needs to change the entire adapter (14) with a new one unless it is reversible.
    [053] Referring to Figures 9A to 9C, shaving or waxing aids (32) are attached to holders of shaving or waxing (46), preferably in a non-releasable manner, while each of the holders of shaving or waxing (46) shaving or waxing (46) is reversibly mounted on the frame (34), for example, being rotationally mounted on the frame (34). As depicted in Figures 9A to 9C, holders of shaving or waxing aids (46) are able to be twisted into the frame (34) in such a way that when worn the first face (32A) can be replaced by the second face (32B) opposite for additional shaving or epilation without detaching the adapter (16) from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14). More precisely, Figure 9A illustrates the adapter with both first faces (32A) to be used during shaving or waxing, Figure 9B illustrates how to reverse the face (from the first to the second) for example, by twisting the same and Figure 9C illustrated the adapter with a second face (32B) to be used during shaving or waxing (the other shaving or waxing aid (32) still used with its first face (32A)). The adapter (16) can therefore be used during shaving or epilation with either the first two faces (32A), the second two faces (32B) or a mixture of a first face (32A) and a second face (32B) ). The shaving or waxing aid holders (46) can also be slidably mounted on the frame (34) to prevent any friction from the shaving or waxing auxiliaries (32) when reversed on the structure (34).
    [054] Referring to Figure 10, the shaving or waxing aids (32) are attached to the shaving or waxing aid holders (46), while each of the shaving or waxing aid holders (46) is mounted reliably in the structure (34). Shaving or waxing aid holders (46) are able to be fixed on or detached from the frame (34) in such a way that when worn the first face (32A) can be replaced by the second face (32B) opposite for shaving or waxing without detaching the adapter (16) from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14). The frame (34) can allow a fixation to the shaving or waxing cartridge by sliding, pressing on (as shown in Figure 10) or by closing.
    [055] Now the method of using an adapter attached to the shaving or epilation cartridge by pressure fitting will be described (see Figures 1A to 1K). Figures 1A to 1C show an adapter that can be either reversible or not. Figures 1D and 1E depict a replacement of the adapter with a new one. Figures IF and 1G depict an adapter reversed at least perpendicularly to the geometric axis XX, Figures 1H and 1J depict an adapter reversed at least around the geometric axis XX and figure 1K depicts an adapter reversed both perpendicularly and around the axis geometric XX.
    [056] As best seen in Figures 1B to 1D, IF and 1H, one or more protrusions (50) can be provided on the frame (34) to allow attachment and firmly hold the adapter (16) in the shaving cartridge or depilation (14) after said pressure fitting has occurred. In reality, the adapter can be reversible, for example, according to its geometry (first opening (36A), second opening (36B), projection (50), etc.) and the geometry of the shaving or shaving cartridge (14 ).
    [057] Referring to Figures 1A to 1E, when the adapter (16) is not reversible, only the first faces (32A) of shaving or waxing aids are used during shaving or waxing. In this way, when the first faces (32A) of the shaving or waxing aids (32) are worn, the user changes the adapter (16) with a new one. As best portrayed in Figure 1B, the user detaches the adapter (16), more precisely the structure (34), of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) disengaging it from the last one, for example, in the D1 direction. When the adapter is completely separated from the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) as shown in Figure 1C, the user can attach a new adapter (16) by snapping it in as shown in Figure 1D, for example, in the D2 direction (opposite direction D1) and shave or shave with a razor or shaving device as shown in Figure 1E (equipped with a new adapter). The shaving or shaving aid (32) was located, for example, in front of the cutting edges as shown in Figure 1A and after changing the adapter, the shaving or waxing aid (32) can again be located in front of the edges section as shown in Figure 1E.
    [058] Referring to Figures 1A to 1C and in addition to Figures 1F to 1G or Figure 1K, when the adapter (16) is reversible perpendicular to the geometric axis XX, the user can reverse the structure (34) in such a way that the change the location of the shaving or epilation aid (32) in relation to the cutting edges (22). In reality, the user detaches the structure (34) of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) by disengaging it from the last one (see Figure 1B), for example, in the D1 direction. When the adapter (16) is completely separated from the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) (see Figure 1C), the user can rotate it to change its location on the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) (see Figure IF) and fit it by pressure in order to connect it to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) (see Figure 1G). As depicted in Figure 1A prior to detachment, the adapter (16) had its first end (42) provided on the left of the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) when viewed from a top view (or from a top perspective view as Figure 1A) and its second end (44) is located on the right, while after the adapter (16) is reverted perpendicularly to the geometric axis XX, its first end (42) provided on the right of the shaving or epilation cartridge ( 14) when viewed from a top view (or from a top perspective view like Figure 1G) and its second end (44) is located on the left. In addition, since the reversibility revealed here refers to that which occurs perpendicular to the geometric axis XX, before detachment, the first wall (36) (upper surface of the adapter (16)) is located on the upper face (24C) of the cartridge. shaving or shaving (14), the second wall (38) (bottom surface of the adapter (16)) is located on the bottom face (24D) of the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) (see Figure 1A) and after the adapter ( 16) to be reverted perpendicularly to the geometric axis XX the first wall (36) (upper surface of the adapter (16)) is still located on the upper face (24C) of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14), the second wall (38) (bottom surface of the adapter (16)) is still located on the bottom face (24D) of the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) (See Figure 1G). The shaver or epilator is now ready for shaving or epilating.
    [059] Referring to Figures 1A to 1C and in addition to Figures 1H to 1J or Figure 1K, when the adapter (16) is reversible around the geometric axis XX, the user can reverse the structure (34), for example, when the first face (32A) of the shaving or waxing aid (32) is worn, such that the second face (32B) of the shaving or waxing aid (32) can be used during shaving or waxing. In reality, the user detaches the structure (34) of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) by disengaging it from the last one (see Figure 1B), for example, in the D1 direction. When the adapter (16) is completely separated from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) (see Figure 1C), the user can either change it to a new one (as revealed above and in reference to Figure 1D) or the user can reverse it and attach it to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14), for example, as shown below.
    [060] The first opening (36A) of the structure that covered the cutting edges (22) as shown in Figure 1A after having reversed the structure (34) in the shaving or waxing cartridge (14), covers the underside (24D) the housing (24) (not pictured), while the second opening (38A) that covered the lower face (24D) of the housing (24) (see Figure 6), now covers the shaving or shaving blades (20) after having reversed the structure (34) in the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) (see Figure 1J or 1K). The first opening (36A) of the adapter (16) that was connected to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) on the upper face (24C) is connected after reversing to the lower face (24D) of the housing, whereas the second opening ( 36B) of the adapter (16) that was connected to the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) on the bottom face (24D) is connected after reversing around the geometric axis XX to the top face (24C) of the housing. Then, the user can bring the adapter (16) close to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14), for example, from the bottom side of the housing (24D) (see Figure 1H). The user can then press fit the adapter (16) into the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) (see Figure 1J) until complete fixation (see Figure 1J). After that, the shaving or waxing device is ready again for use with the shaving or waxing aids (32) for additional shaving or waxing. More precisely, the shaving or shaving aid (32) of the shaving or waxing apparatus which is now used for shaving or waxing on its second face (32B). The location of the shaving or shaving aid (32) in relation to the cutting edges (22) is also changed. The shaving or waxing aid (32) that was, for example, located posterior to the cutting edges (22) (see Figure 1A) is now located in front of the razor edges (22) (see Figure 1J). In other words, before detachment, the adapter (16) had its first end (42) provided on the left of the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) when viewed from a top view (or from a top perspective view such as the Figure 1A) and its second end (44) is located on the right and after the adapter is reversed around the geometric axis XX, its first end (42) supplied is still on the left of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) when observing the from a top view (or from a top perspective view like Figure 1J) and its second end (44) is still located on the right. In addition, since the reversibility revealed here concerns that which occurs around the geometric axis XX, before detachment, the first wall (36) (upper surface of the adapter (16)) is located on the upper face (24C) of the cartridge shaving or shaving (14), the second wall (38) (bottom surface of the adapter (16)) is located on the bottom face (24D) of the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) (see Figure 1A) and after the adapter (16) being reversed perpendicularly to the geometric axis XX the first wall (36) (upper surface of the adapter (16)) is now located on the bottom face (24D) of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14), the second wall (38 ) (bottom surface of the adapter (16)) is now located on the top face (24C) of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) (See Figure 1K). The shaver or epilator is now ready for shaving or epilating.
    [061] When the user also wants to change the location of the shaving or epilation aid (in relation to the cutting edges (22)), the user only needs to additionally reverse the adapter perpendicular to the X-X geometry axis. In this case, the adapter had its first end (42) provided on the left of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) when viewed from a top view (or from a top perspective view like Figure 1A) and its second end ( 44) is located on the right, while after the adapter (14) is reversed both perpendicularly to and around the geometric axis XX, its first end (42) provided on the right of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) when viewed from a top view (or a top perspective view like Figure 1K) and its second end (44) is located on the left. The shaver or epilator is now ready for shaving or epilating.
    [062] In addition to this realization depicted in Figures 1A to 1K, the realizations depicted in the other Figures provided with two shaving or waxing aids (32), but they could be provided with a single one as revealed above. In addition, the reversibility revealed later in this document is that which is made around the geometric axis XX. This reversibility can occur in substitution and / or combination of a reversibility that occurs perpendicular to the geometric axis X-X as revealed above.
    [063] The method of using an adapter of the embodiment depicted in Figures 2A to 2F and which is also attached to the shaving or epilation cartridge by pressure fitting will now be described.
    [064] Like the adapter revealed in Figures 1A to 1K, the adapter revealed in Figures 2A to 2D can be either reversible or not, whereas Figures 2E to 2F depict only a reversible adapter. As can best be seen in Figures 1B to 1D, IF and 2E, one or more projections (50) can be provided on the frame (34) to allow fixation and firmly hold the adapter (16) in the shaving or epilation cartridge (14 ) after said pressure fitting has occurred. In reality, the adapter can be reversible, for example, according to its geometry (first opening (36A), second opening (36B), projection (50), etc.) and the geometry of the shaving or shaving cartridge (14 ).
    [065] Referring to Figures 2A to 2D, when the adapter (16) is not reversible, only the first faces (32A) of shaving or waxing aids are used during shaving or waxing. In this way, when the first faces (32A) of the shaving or waxing aids (32) are worn, the user changes the adapter (16) with a new one. As best portrayed in Figure 2B, the user detaches the adapter (16), more precisely the structure (34), of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) disengaging it from the last one, for example, in the D1 direction. When the adapter is completely separated from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) as shown in Figure 2C, the user can attach a new adapter (16) by snapping as shown in Figure 2D, for example, in the D2 direction (opposite to direction D1) and shave or shave with a razor or shaving device as shown in Figure 2A (equipped with a new adapter).
    [066] Referring to Figures 1A to 1D and in addition to Figures 1E to 1F, when the adapter (16) is reversible, the user can reverse the structure (34) when the first faces (32A) of the shaving or epilation aid ( 32) are worn out in such a way that the second faces (32B) of the shaving or waxing aids (32) can be used during shaving or waxing. In reality, the user detaches the structure (34) of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) by disengaging it from the last one (see Figure 2B), for example, in the D1 direction. When the adapter (16) is completely separated from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) (see Figure 2C), the user can either change it to a new one (as revealed above and in reference to Figure 2D) or the user can reverse it and attach it to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14), for example, as shown below.
    [067] The first opening (36A) of the structure that covered the cutting edges (22) as shown in Figure 2A after having reversed the structure (34) in the shaving or waxing cartridge (14), covers the underside (24D) the housing (24) (not pictured), while the second opening (38A) that covered the lower face (24D) of the housing (24) (see Figure 6), now covers the shaving or shaving blades (20) after having reversed the structure (34) in the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) (see Figure 2F). The first opening (36A) of the adapter (16) that was connected to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) on the upper face (24C) is connected after reversing to the lower face (24D) of the housing, whereas the second opening ( 36B) of the adapter (16) that was connected to the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) on the bottom face (24D) is connected after reversing to the top face (24C) of the housing. Then, the user can bring the adapter (16) close to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14), for example, from the upper side of the housing (24D) (see Figure 2E). The user can then press fit the adapter (16) into the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) until complete fixation (see Figure 2F). After that, the shaving or waxing device is ready again for use with the shaving or waxing aids (32) for additional shaving or waxing. More precisely, the shaving or waxing aids (32) of the shaving or waxing apparatus which are now used for shaving or waxing on their second faces (32B).
    [068] Now we will describe the method of using an adapter attached to the shaving or shaving cartridge by sliding with reference to Figures 3A to 3B). The adapter of this realization is not reversible.
    [069] When the adapter (16) is not reversible, only the first faces (32A) of shaving or waxing aids are used during shaving or waxing. In this way, when the first faces (32A) of the shaving or waxing aids (32) are worn, the user changes the adapter (16) with a new one. As best depicted in Figure 3B, the user detaches the adapter (16), more precisely the structure (34), of the shaving or waxing cartridge (14), sliding it from the last one especially along the arrow F1 and passing shaving or shaving the cartridge (14) through a first end opening (42A) provided at the first end (42) of the frame (34); more precisely by sliding it along the X-X geometry axis. Of course, a user can also separate the adapter (16) from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) by sliding the latter in relation to the adapter (16) along the arrow F2 (opposite the arrow F1); the user can also combine both movements (sliding the adapter along F1 and sliding the shaving or waxing cartridge along F2). The first end opening (42A) can be designed as shown in the drawings to allow the adapter (16) to slide in relation to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) even when the latter is connected to the cable body (12); this means that there is no need to detach the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) from the cable body (12) when the adapter (16) is slid out of the shaving or shaving cartridge (14). The adapter (16) is preferably provided with a second end hole 44A at its second end (44) in such a way that the slide of the adapter into the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) can be done easily without creating a vacuum effect.
    [070] When the adapter is completely separated from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) as shown in Figure 3B, the user can attach a new adapter (16), for example, by sliding it along the arrow F2 (opposite the arrow F1) passing the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) through the first end opening (42A) of the frame (34) (not shown); after that, the user can shave or shave with a razor or hair removal device as shown in Figure 3A. Of course, here again as for separating the adapter from the shaving or epilation cartridge, a user can also attach the adapter (16) to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) by sliding the latter in relation to the adapter (16) along F1 arrow passing the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) through the first end opening (42A) of the frame (34); the user can also combine both movements (sliding the adapter along F2 and sliding the shaving or waxing cartridge along F1). As best seen in Figure 3B, one or more protrusions (50) can be provided on the frame (34) to allow attachment and firmly hold the adapter (16) in the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) after said slide has occurred in order to be ready to shave or shave in a pinch.
    [071] The method of using another embodiment of an adapter attached to the shaving or shaving cartridge will now be described by sliding in reference to Figures 4A to 4H.
    [072] In this embodiment of this sliding adapter, the adapter (14) can be provided with a first end (42) and a second end (44) opposite the first end (42) which has a U shape as shown in Figures 4A at 4H. In this case, there is no need for a second end hole as previously mentioned to avoid a vacuum effect since, due to their U-shapes, the first end (42) and the second end (44) are provided with openings (42A ) and 44A that allow the shaving or epilation cartridge to pass through (by sliding). To attach the adapter (16) to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14), the adapter (16) is slid into the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) by both its second end (44) (not shown) and the first faces (32A) of the shaving or shaving aid (32) are used (Figure 4A) as for its first end (42) as depicted in Figure 4F, for example, when the second faces (32B) of the shaving or waxing aid (32 ) are used.
    [073] When the adapter (16) is not reversible, only the first faces (32A) of shaving or waxing aids are used during shaving or waxing. In this way, when the first faces (32A) of the shaving or waxing aids (32) are worn, the user changes the adapter (16) with a new one. As best depicted in Figure 4B, the user detaches the adapter (16), more precisely the structure (34), of the shaving or waxing cartridge (14), sliding it from the last one especially along the arrow F1 and passing shaving or shaving the cartridge (14) through a first end opening (42A) provided at the first end (42) of the frame (34); more precisely by sliding it along the X-X geometry axis. Of course, a user can also separate the adapter (16) from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) by sliding the latter in relation to the adapter (16) along the arrow F2 (opposite the arrow F1); the user can also combine both movements (sliding the adapter along F1 and sliding the shaving or waxing cartridge along F2). The first end opening (42A) can be designed as shown in the drawings to allow the adapter (16) to slide in relation to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) even when the latter is connected to the cable body (12); this means that there is no need to detach the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) from the cable body (12) when the adapter (16) is slid out of the shaving or shaving cartridge (14). When the adapter is completely separated from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) as shown in Figure 4B, the user can attach a new adapter (16), for example, by sliding along the arrow F2 (opposite the arrow F1) passing the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) through the first end opening (42A) of the frame (34); after that, the user can shave or shave with a razor or hair removal device as shown in Figure 4A. Of course, here again as for separating the adapter from the shaving or epilation cartridge, a user can also attach the adapter (16) to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) by sliding the latter in relation to the adapter (16) along F1 arrow passing the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) through the first end opening (42A) of the frame (34); the user can also combine both movements (sliding the adapter along F2 and sliding the shaving or waxing cartridge along F1).
    [074] As best seen in Figures 4B and 4F, one or more protrusions (50) can be provided on the frame (34) to allow attachment and firmly hold the adapter (16) in the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) after said slip has occurred in order to shave or shave.
    [075] When such an adapter is reversible, the user can reverse the structure (34) when the first faces (32A) of the shaving or waxing aid (32) are worn, such that the second faces (32B) of the shaving aids shaving or waxing (32) can be used during shaving or waxing. In reality, the user detaches the structure (34) of the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) by sliding it from the latter (see Figure 4B) along the arrow F1 passing the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) through the first end opening (42A) of the frame (34); more precisely by sliding the structure (34) along the geometric axis X-X. When the adapter is completely separated from the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) (see Figure 4B), the user can reverse it by turning / twisting it around the XX geometric axis, for example (see Figures 4C to 4E). The first opening (36A) of the structure that covered the cutting edges (22) as shown in Figure 4A after having reversed the structure (34) in the shaving or waxing cartridge (14), covers the bottom housing (24D) (see Figure 4H), while the second opening (38A) that covered the upper face of the housing (24C) (see Figure 7), covers the shaving or shaving blades (20) after having reversed the structure (34) in the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) (see Figure 4G). The first opening (36A) of the adapter (16) that was connected to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) on the upper face (24C) is connected after reversing to the lower face (24D) of the housing, whereas the second opening ( 36B) of the adapter (16) that was connected to the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) on the bottom face (24D) is connected after reversing to the top face (24C) of the housing. The user can then slide the adapter (16) into the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) (see Figure 4F) until complete fixation (see Figure 4G). After that, the shaving or waxing device is ready again for use with the shaving or waxing aids (32) for additional shaving or waxing.
    [076] The method of using an adapter attached to the shaving or epilation cartridge by closure will now be described (see Figures 5A to 5B).
    [077] When the adapter (16) is not reversible, it means that only the first faces (32A) of shaving or waxing aids can be used during shaving or waxing. In this way, when the first faces (32A) of the shaving or waxing aids (32) are worn, the user changes the adapter (16) with a new one. The adapter is reversible, as shown in Figures 5A and 5B, when each shaving or waxing aid (32) is provided with a first face (32A) and a second face (32B), each of which is capable of to make contact with the skin during shaving or waxing. The structure (34) of the adapter (14) comprises, for example, two parts (34A) and (34B) pivotally connected to each other by a hinge (35). Opposite this hinge (35), several tabs (33) can be provided on the frame (34) to secure the adapter closure (14) as shown in Figure 5A.
    [078] When the adapter (16) is not reversible, only the first faces (32A) of shaving or waxing aids are used during shaving or waxing. In this way, when the first faces (32A) of the shaving or waxing aids (32) are worn, the user changes the adapter (16) with a new one. As best depicted in Figure 5B, the user opens the adapter (16) pivoting one part of the structure in relation to the other around the hinge (35). The user can then attach a new adapter (16) by enclosing the shaving or waxing cartridge in it and shaving or shaving with a shaving or waxing device (10) as shown in Figure 5A.
    [079] When such an adapter is reversible, the user can reverse the structure (34) when the first faces (32A) of the shaving or waxing aid (32) are worn, in such a way that the second faces (32B) of the shaving aids shaving or waxing (32) can be used during shaving or waxing. In reality, the user highlights the structure (34) of the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) by opening the hinge (34) (see Figure 5B) and when the adapter is completely separated from the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) (see Figure 5B), the user can reverse the same by twisting it around the geometric axis XX, for example. The first opening (36A) of the structure that covered the cutting edges (22) as depicted in Figure 5A after having reversed the structure (34) in the shaving or waxing cartridge (14), covers the bottom housing (24D) (no illustrated), while the second opening (38A) that covered the bottom face of the housing, covers the shaving or shaving blades (20) after having reversed the frame (34) in the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) (not shown) ). The first opening (36A) of the adapter (16) that was connected to the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) on the upper face (24C) is connected after reversing to the lower face (24D) of the housing, whereas the second opening ( 36B) of the adapter (16) that was connected to the shaving or shaving cartridge (14) on the bottom face (24D) is connected after reversing to the top face (24C) of the housing. After that, the shaving or waxing device is ready again for use with the shaving or waxing aids (32) for additional shaving or waxing.
    [080] Each of the adapters revealed above can be equipped with holders for shaving or hair removal (46) that are unitary with the frame (34) or that are removably attached to the frame as disconnected from the frame (34). adapter (16) as pictured, for example, in Figure 8. In this case, when the shaving or shaving aid (32) is worn, structure (16) can be kept in the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) and the user can either remove the shaving or waxing aid holders (46) in order to change them to a new one or the user can revert the shaving or waxing aid holders (46).
    [081] When discussing reversibility, it should be understood that it means that at least one of the shaving or waxing aids provided in the structure has two opposite faces each of which can be used successively during shaving or waxing by reversing the faces. This reversal of the two opposite faces (32A and 32B) of a shaving or shaving aid (32) can be achieved by reversing the complete adapter (16) (more precisely the frame (34)) in relation to the shaving or waxing cartridge (14) and / or reversing the holder (46) of the shaving or waxing aid (32) in relation to the structure (34). The reversibility of the adapter (the structure and / or each shaving or waxing aid) is achieved especially by twisting or reversing.
    [082] The shaving or waxing aid (32) is preferably immobile in relation to the structure (34); this means that the holder (46) of the shaving or shaving aid (32) cannot move in relation to the frame (34) especially during shaving or waxing. However, the invention is not limited to this type of realization and the shaving or shaving aid (32) can be movable in relation to the structure (34), for example, the holder (46) of the shaving or waxing aid (32) it can flex and / or move in relation to the structure (34).
    [083] The adapter preferably comprises a material chosen from plastics, such as, for example, thermoplastic such as PP, PS and / or ABS.
    [084] The adapter of the invention can be provided with one or more protrusions (50) in the frame (34) to allow fixation and firmly hold the adapter (16) in the shaving or epilation cartridge (14) after said slip has occurred in order to shave or shave in a pinch (avoiding any risk of premature detachment of the adapter). Any other means can be provided to securely retain the adapter in the shaving or epilation cartridge to avoid any risk of premature detachment of the adapter during shaving or epilation.
    [085] The reversibility of the adapter of the invention is achieved by pivoting / twisting / revolving the adapter in relation to the shaving or epilation cartridge as revealed above.
