Razor blade assembly

Description

FIG. 1 is a top front perspective view of a razor blade assembly showing my new design;

FIG. 2 is a bottom rear perspective view thereof;

FIG. 3 is a top plan view thereof;

FIG. 4 is a front elevational view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a left side elevational view thereof, the opposite right side being a mirror image;

FIG. 6 is a bottom plan view thereof;

FIG. 7 is a rear elevational view thereof; and,

FIG. 8 is an elevational sectional view taken on the line 8--8 of FIG. 3.

The insert having fin-like projections at the forward portion of the razor blade assembly has a soft, matte appearance presenting a visual and textural contrast to the frame portion of the razor blade assembly. This design is not limited to the exact details shown in the drawings, since equivalents and colorable imitation thereof will be evident to a person of ordinary skill in the art. Thus, within the scope of the appended claim, which is intended to cover only the ornamental and novel elements shown in the drawings, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically shown and described herein.

Claims

I claim the ornamental design for a razor blade assembly, as shown and described.
