shaving blades. In the Figure 1 embodiment, the shaving unit
20 is
mounted on an inner yoke 14 by means of rails 21. In use, the
shaving unit 20 is able to pivot about the axis of the pivot
pins 13 which is adjacent to and parallel to the cutting edges
of the blades 22 and 23. Terry at 2, lines 76-95.
In the second embodiment shown and discussed,
shaving unit 20 is mounted on stationary yoke 26 by pivot pins
29. Here again, pivoting about an axis defined by pins 29 is
parallel to the blade edges. The razor shown in Figures 3,
4a, and 4b uses a bar linkage 33 to pivotally mount the
cartridge carrier for pivotal movement about an axis parallel
to the blade edges. The four-bar linkage of Terry has two
transverse links 36 and 37 each pivotally mounted to the
handle 31 via spindles 40 and 41. Terry also shows the
claimed extension links 34 and 35 which are pivotally mounted
to the cartridge carrier 38. Terry at 2, line 122, to 3,
line 15. Terry discloses rails to mount the cartridge on the
