          Interference No. 104,158                                                    



                    The claimed invention is directed to a razor                      
          cartridge mounted on a handle through the agency of a four-bar              
          linkage for pivoting motion of the cartridge about an axis                  
          perpendicular to cutting edge.  The count reads as follows:                 
          Count 1                                                                     
                    A wet razor comprising                                            
                    (a) a handle,                                                     

                    (b) a razor head having at least one razor blade,                 
          and                                                                         
                    (c) a connecting device for connection of the razor               
          head to the handle,                                                         
                    (d) wherein the razor head is pivotable in two                    
          directions relative to the handle about a first pivot axis                  
          located essentially perpendicular to a cutting edge of the at               
          least one razor blade and essentially in or above a plane of                
          the razor blade, and                                                        
                    (e) wherein the connecting device comprises at least              
          one four-bar mechanism having a lower transverse link, an                   
          upper transverse link and two connecting extension links, of                
          which at least one of the transverse links is pivotally                     
          mounted about a second axis which is essentially parallel to                
          the first pivot axis and intersects with at least one of the                
          transverse links of the four-bar mechanism.                                 
                    The claims of the parties that correspond to the                  
          count                                                                       
          are:                                                                        


                                          3
