Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a razor with a booklet that includes a booklet and a paper razor sheet. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, various types of razors have become known, including not only ordinary razors but also paper razors (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6894054 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6825162 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Even in this situation, there are young people who do not know how to shave. There is also a social trend that says, "Young people should not shave."

[0005] The present inventors conducted a nationwide survey on awareness of razors and hair removal targeting 500 boys and girls from the fourth grade of elementary school to the third grade of junior high school.

[0006] The results showed that over 94% of people are concerned about their own hair, 62% used a family member's razor when trimming their hair for the first time, 55% have had regrets, 64% do not know the correct way to shave, 66% would like to be taught how to shave, and 81% would like to be able to talk freely about hair trimming.Although over 90% of elementary and junior high school students have experienced concerns about unwanted hair, it was found that many do not have their own razors or do not know how to use them and would like to be taught how.

[0007] Additionally, many men and women feel reluctant to use razors because they think it will put a strain on their skin, and some people mistakenly believe that shaving will make their hair grow thicker. It was also found that there are no places to talk about or find information on hair-related concerns, making it difficult to resolve these concerns.

[0008] Therefore, the present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a razor with a booklet that will help young people, particularly elementary and junior high school students, who are using a razor for the first time to deepen their understanding of razors and shaving, dispel any anxiety about using a razor or negative impressions about shaving with a razor, solve the anxieties and issues that arise when using a razor for the first time, and reduce the anxiety and psychological burden associated with shaving, so that even elementary and junior high school students can use the razor properly and shave smoothly. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] A first feature of the present disclosure is a razor with a booklet comprising a booklet and a razor, wherein the booklet has a plurality of sheets connected in one direction and is formed by folding back the first sheet to the last sheet of the plurality of sheets, the razor is stored in a storage pocket provided on the surface of one of the plurality of sheets, the razor has a gripping portion to be held by a user, a head support portion formed integrally with the gripping portion, and a razor head mounted on the head support portion, the surface of the sheet on which the storage pocket is provided is folded back to face the surface of an adjacent sheet, each of the sheets displays an image containing information about the razor and shaving, and the information about the razor and shaving includes a method of shaving with the razor. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a razor with a booklet that allows even elementary and junior high school students who are using a razor for the first time to use the razor properly and shave smoothly. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the razor A with booklet according to this embodiment includes a booklet 100 and a razor 30, which will be described later.

[0015] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, booklet 100 has multiple sheets 101 to 108 that are connected in one direction, and is configured to be formed by folding back the first sheet 101 to the last sheet 108 of the multiple sheets 101 to 108.

[0016] In this embodiment, for convenience, the sheet 101 is the first sheet and the sheet 108 is the last sheet.

[0017] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the surface of sheet 101 is the first page of booklet 100, the surface of sheet 102 is the second page of booklet 100, the surface of sheet 103 is the third page of booklet 100, the surface of sheet 104 is the fourth page of booklet 100, the surface of sheet 105 is the fifth page of booklet 100, the surface of sheet 106 is the sixth page of booklet 100, the surface of sheet 107 is the seventh page of booklet 100, and the surface of sheet 108 is the eighth page of booklet 100.

[0018] Similarly, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the back surface of sheet 108 is the 9th page of booklet 100, the back surface of sheet 107 is the 10th page of booklet 100, the back surface of sheet 106 is the 11th page of booklet 100, the back surface of sheet 105 is the 12th page of booklet 100, the back surface of sheet 104 is the 13th page of booklet 100, the back surface of sheet 103 is the 14th page of booklet 100, the back surface of sheet 102 is the 15th page of booklet 100, and the back surface of sheet 101 is the cover of booklet 100.

[0019] In this embodiment, an example in which eight sheets 101 to 108 are connected in one direction is disclosed, but the present invention is not limited to this example and can also be applied to examples in which other numbers of sheets, such as two or more, are connected.

[0020] Also, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, in this embodiment, when the multiple sheets 101 to 108 that make up booklet 100 are folded in an accordion-like manner, the front surface of sheet 101 faces the front surface of sheet 102, the back surface of sheet 102 faces the back surface of sheet 103, the front surface of sheet 103 faces the front surface of sheet 104, the back surface of sheet 104 faces the back surface of sheet 105, the front surface of sheet 105 faces the front surface of sheet 106, the back surface of sheet 106 faces the back surface of sheet 107, and the front surface of sheet 107 faces the front surface of sheet 108.

[0021] It should be noted that other folding methods may be used for folding the sheets 101 to 108 that make up the booklet 100. For example, the method for folding the sheets 101 to 108 may include a method of folding them in an accordion shape, a method of folding them in the same way as in normal bookbinding, and the like.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1, a razor 30 (described later) is stored in a storage pocket 108P provided on the surface of any one of the sheets 101 to 108.

[0023] In the following, in this embodiment, a case where a storage pocket 108P is provided on the last sheet, sheet 108, will be described, but the present invention is not limited to such a case and can also be applied to a case where a storage pocket 108P is provided on another sheet.

[0024] In this embodiment, the case in which the storage pocket 108P stores a paper razor sheet 20 that can be folded to form the razor 30 is described, but the present invention is not limited to such a case. For example, the storage pocket 108P may store a paper razor or the like as the razor 30.

[0025] Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the surface of the sheet 108 is configured to be folded back so as to face the surface of the adjacent sheet 107.

[0026] 1, opening 108O of storage pocket 108P is provided along folding portion 200 between sheet 108 and adjacent sheet 107. Here, folding portion 200 is folded back in a valley fold.

[0027] According to this configuration, the opening 108O of the storage pocket 108P is kept closed by the valley fold 200, and the razor sheet 20 to which the blade 23A is attached does not easily pop out, which has the effect of making it safe to hold.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1, a seal 108S may be provided to seal at least a part of the opening 108O of the storage pocket 108P.

[0029] 1, the razor head 23 may be stored in the storage pocket 108P so as to be positioned away from the opening 108O of the storage pocket 108P. For example, the razor head 23 may be stored in the storage pocket 108P so as to face the upper side (in the example of FIG. 1), the right side, or the lower side of the sheet 108.

[0030] This configuration reduces the risk of the user accidentally touching the razor head 23 when inserting their hand into the storage pocket 108P to remove the razor sheet 20.

[0031] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, each of the sheets 101 to 108, that is, each of the front and back pages of the sheets 101 to 108, displays an image containing information about razors and shaving.

[0032] Here, the image may include not only illustrations but also characters, figures, etc. Furthermore, an example of a display is printing.

[0033] For example, an image containing information about razors and shaving may be an image containing an illustration or a catchphrase related to shaving, as shown on pages 1 to 4 and 7 in FIG.

[0034] Furthermore, the image containing information about razors and shaving may be an image containing questions and answers (Q&A) about shaving, as described on pages 5 and 6 shown in FIG.

[0035] Furthermore, the image containing information about the razor and shaving may be an image including a method for assembling the razor 30 from the razor sheet 20 stored in the storage pocket 108P of the sheet 108, as described on page 8 shown in FIG. 3.

[0036] Furthermore, the image containing information about the razor and shaving may be an image containing information about a shaving method using the razor 30, as shown in FIG. 4 and described on pages 9 to 15.

[0037] Here, by displaying the shaving method using razor 30 as an image containing information about the razor and shaving, even users using razor 30 for the first time, i.e., young people (e.g., general elementary and junior high school students) who are the target audience for this booklet-attached razor A, can shave correctly and safely using razor 30.

[0038] Furthermore, the image containing information about razors and shaving may include the results of a questionnaire or opinion survey about razors and shaving. This configuration allows users to learn about the thoughts and attitudes of others, which has the effect of leading to empathy and relief of anxiety.

[0039] Since the images containing information about razors and shaving are intended to dispel negative impressions of shaving among young people, it is preferable that the content be understandable to young people (for example, general elementary and junior high school students). Furthermore, by making the images containing information about razors and shaving story-like, the content can be made easy to read even for elementary school students.

[0040] In addition, to make it easier for younger generations (for example, ordinary elementary and junior high school students) to understand, furigana may be added to some of the kanji and English words (kanji other than common kanji and English words not taught in elementary and junior high schools) contained in images containing information about razors and shaving.

[0041] Alternatively, to make it easier for younger generations (e.g., average elementary and junior high school students) to understand, images containing information about razors and shaving may contain only hiragana, katakana, common kanji, and English words learned in elementary and junior high schools.

[0042] In addition, a QR code (registered trademark), a URL, etc. may be displayed somewhere on sheets 101 to 108, so that the user can read the QR code, URL, etc. with a smartphone or the like to view videos of information related to razors and shaving, such as how to shave with razor 30 and how to care for the razor after shaving.

[0043] The razor 30 (or the razor 30 stored in the storage pocket 108P) completed by assembling the above-mentioned razor sheet 20 comprises, as shown in FIG. 6, a grip portion 21 to be held by the user, a head support portion 22 formed integrally with the grip portion 21, and a razor head 23 mounted on the head support portion 22.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 5, the grip portion 21 and the head support portion 22 are entirely formed by the razor sheet 20.

[0045] The razor head 23 is attached to the razor sheet 20 at a position corresponding to the head support portion 22 .

[0046] As shown in FIG. 6, the razor head 23 is entirely made of metal and includes a blade 23A and a frame 23B that houses the blade 23A.

[0047] An example of a method for assembling the razor sheet 20 to complete the razor 30 will now be described with reference to FIGS.

[0048] First, the user folds the razor sheet 20 along the central fold 41 and the connecting folds 42a and 42b so that the front side of the razor sheet 20 shown in Figure 5 is convex. Here, Figure 5 shows the front side of the razor sheet 20.

[0049] Specifically, for example, when assembling the razor 30, the user folds the grip portion 21 along the central fold 41. The user can fold the grip portion 21 with, for example, one hand. When the grip portion 21 is folded, the connecting folds 42a and 42b are naturally folded as well.

[0050] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the assembled state, the portion of the grip portion 21 along the center line CL becomes the abdomen 31, and the edges 21a and 21b of the grip portion 21 become the back portion 32.

[0051] As a result, the head support portion 22 continuing from the grip portion 21 (or the abdominal portion 31) is inclined toward the rear surface side with respect to the center line CL.

[0052] Secondly, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, after assembly, the user inserts and fits the insertion portion 51 into the insertion hole portion 52, thereby fixing the grip portion 21 in a folded state along the central fold 41.

[0053] The shape of the razor sheet 20 is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 5 of this embodiment, and the present invention is applicable to paper razor sheets of any shape.

[0054] Furthermore, the above-described razor sheet 20 may be embedded in a predetermined sheet (for example, the last sheet 108) itself in a detachable state.

[0055] Here, the background to the creation of the present invention will be briefly explained.

[0056] In light of the current negative impression of shaving, the inventor has been searching for the best way to carry out promotions and marketing that will eliminate such negative impressions. After much ingenuity, the inventor has come to the conclusion that the best way to carry out the promotions and marketing mentioned above would be to use the motif of a "book (pamphlet)," which is easy for young people to pick up and ask their parents for.

[0057] In other words, the inventor has concluded that it would be desirable to distribute the booklet 100 of this embodiment as part of the promotion and marketing mentioned above, in order to deepen the understanding of young people (e.g., elementary and junior high school students) who are using a razor for the first time about razors and shaving, eliminate misunderstandings and prejudices, and further to use booklet 100 as an opportunity to communicate with parents, first of all to create an atmosphere in which it is okay for parents and children to shave even though they are both young, and further to create an atmosphere in society as a whole in which it is okay for young people to shave.

[0058] According to the booklet-attached razor A of this embodiment, the sheets 101 to 108 that make up the booklet 100 can include a paper razor sheet 20 that can be used to assemble the razor 30, while printing instructions on how to shave for the first time as information about razors and shaving, so that even young people who are using a razor for the first time can easily use the razor 30.

[0059] Furthermore, with the razor A with booklet of this embodiment, by combining the sheet-shaped razor sheet 20 with the booklet 100 formed by folding the sheet in an accordion-like shape, it is possible to increase the amount of information about razors and shaving, and also to reduce the thickness of the item including the razor 30.

[0060] As a result, when the booklet 100 is distributed at a school or a place where elementary and junior high school students gather, for example, the booklet 100 is not bulky and can be distributed in a thin state, making it easy to take home.

[0061] Since the razor 30 is a type of blade, if there are restrictions on providing the razor A with the booklet of this embodiment to young people, such as elementary and junior high school students, it is possible to provide only the booklet 100 and promote the spread of the razor 30.

[0062] Additionally, in elementary and junior high schools, there is a custom of children passing on to their parents paper handouts that are distributed by the school to parents, etc. In a similar way, children can pass on this booklet to their parents, providing an opportunity for children to casually talk with their parents about razors and shaving, deepening communication between parents and children.

[0063] Furthermore, the razor A with booklet according to this embodiment can be easily picked up even by young people, which can help popularize the idea that even young people should shave.

[0064] As a result, the razor A with booklet according to this embodiment can eliminate negative impressions about shaving among young people (for example, general elementary and junior high school students) who are using a razor for the first time.

[0065] In other words, the razor A with booklet of this embodiment can educate young people (for example, ordinary elementary and junior high school students) about shaving methods using the razor 30 and about knowledge related to shaving, and can also help their parents break down their fixed ideas and make them aware that even elementary and junior high school students can shave.

[0066] Furthermore, with the booklet-attached razor A of this embodiment, the front surfaces (pages 1 to 7) of sheets 101 to 107 contain information to deepen understanding of razors and shaving, and the front surface (page 8) of the following sheet 108 allows the user to actually touch the razor 30, so that even users who are using a razor for the first time can deepen their understanding before using the razor 30.

[0067] Furthermore, with the razor A with booklet of this embodiment, the back side (pages 9 to 16) of the booklet 100 also contains instructions on how to shave (shaving instructions, sorisetsu), and after assembling the razor 30 on the front side (page 8) of the sheet 108, by using the razor 30 in accordance with the shaving instructions displayed on the back side of the booklet 100, even a user using the razor 30 for the first time can shave smoothly and without hesitation.

[0068] Furthermore, according to the booklet 100 of this embodiment, when it is folded accordion-shaped, the razor sheet 20 can be stored in the storage pocket 108P provided on the surface of the sheet 108 opposite the adjacent sheet 107, thereby preventing the blade 23A from being exposed to the outside and ensuring safety.

[0069] Furthermore, according to the booklet 100 of this embodiment, by providing a seal 108S that seals at least a portion of the opening 108O of the storage pocket 108P when the razor sheet 20 is stored therein, the risk of the razor sheet 20 spilling out of the booklet 100 can be avoided.
