Definitions
- the present invention relates to personal grooming tools that are used by people to maintain their appearance and/or hygiene.
- Personal grooming tools are commonly used by many people to maintain their appearance and/or hygiene and include items such as a shaving razor, a toothbrush, a hairbrush, a hair comb, a nailbrush and the like. Although most people have one or more of these tools, there are many circumstances where their "regular" grooming tools are not available when needed. For example, this may occur when a person is travelling and/or staying in a hotel.
- temporary grooming tools may be purchased or they are sometimes provided as a complimentary service.
- a temporary grooming tool When faced with a situation of needing a temporary grooming tool, it is common for people to seek a low cost item. If a temporary grooming tool is provided as a complimentary service, the service provider is also likely to seek a low cost item. Thus, apart from their intended temporary use, such tools are often designed and manufactured to be used only a few times in order to minimise their cost.
- the present invention provides a personal grooming tool, at least part of which comprises structural members formed from a biodegradable polymer, wherein the structural members have at least one dimension that does not exceed about 1.5mm.
- structural members is intended to mean features of structure that individually or collectively contribute to the overall structure of at least a part of the grooming tool. Provided the structural members have at least one dimension that does not exceed about 1.5mm, they may take any shape and perform or serve any function.
- the structural members may take the form a wall, a strut, a web, a rib and the like.
- the structural members may serve to collectively form, for example, a body and/or head portion of the grooming tool.
- Grooming tools in accordance with the invention are in effect formed at least in part from biodegradable polymer.
- biodegradable polymer upon being disposed of in landfill at least part of the tool can biodegrade.
- simply forming an article or part thereof from biodegradable polymer does not necessarily mean that the article or part thereof will biodegrade at an acceptable rate (e.g. at a rate specified in certain legislation and/or standards).
- an acceptable rate e.g. at a rate specified in certain legislation and/or standards.
- articles made from biodegradable polymer may take many months if not years to biodegrade. Although such articles may be considered more "environmentally friendly" than their non-biodegradable counterparts, they will nevertheless adversely impact on at least the landfill volume until they eventually biodegrade.
- Personal grooming tools in accordance with the invention not only comprise structural members formed from a biodegradable polymer, but the structural members also have at least one dimension that does not exceed about 1.5mm.
- the structural members By providing the structural members with this type of structural profile, they, and any part of the tool that they collectively form, can attain a relatively high surface area. This high surface area can in turn advantageously lead to an increase in the biodegradation rate of the structural members and any part of the tool that they collectively form. Accordingly, upon being disposed of in landfill, at least those parts of grooming tools formed from the structural members can rapidly biodegrade and minimise any adverse impact on the environment.
- At least a significant part (e.g. at least 50 wt.%) of the grooming tool comprises the structural members.
- grooming tools in accordance with the invention may be formed in such a way to meet many if not all of these standards.
- personal grooming tool is intended to mean an implement used by a person to maintain their appearance and/or hygiene.
- Examples of personal grooming tools include, but are not limited to, a shaving razor, a toothbrush, a hairbrush, a hair comb, a nailbrush and the like.
- the structural members that form at least part of the grooming tools "have at least one dimension that does not exceed about 1.5mm". By this is meant that at least one of the height, length or width dimensions of a given structural member does not exceed 1.5mm.
- biodegradable does not have a universal definition.
- biodegradable used herein in association with the term “polymer” is intended to mean a polymer material that meets the biodegradability criteria specified in ASTM 6400 or EN 13432.
- a polymer is considered to be biodegradable if, upon exposure to a composting environment, 90 wt.% of it disintegrates into particles having an average size of less than 2mm within 12 weeks, and after 6 months at least 60 wt.% of it, in the case of ASTM 6400, or at least 90 wt.% of it, in the case of EN 13432, has degraded into carbon dioxide and/or water.
- a biodegradable polymer used in accordance with the invention meets the more stringent biodegradability criterion set forth in EN 13432.
- the grooming tool per se is biodegradable.
- biodegradability it may be necessary for them to meet a particular biodegradability standard. Many of these standards generally require that a certain percentage of the product degrades to a specified extent within a set period of time.
- grooming tools in accordance with the invention may be formed in such a way to meet many if not all of such standards.
- grooming tools in accordance with the invention comprise at least 60 wt.%, at least 70 wt.%, at least 80 wt.%, or at least 90 wt.% of the structural members.
- Grooming tools in accordance with the invention can advantageously be formed entirely from or consist essentially of the structural members.
- a given tool, or part thereof necessarily requires a non-polymer component(s) (e.g. a razor blade in a shaving razor)
- the terms "formed entirely from” or “consisting essentially of used herein are not intended to embrace such non-polymer component(s).
- the biodegradability characteristics of the grooming tool can also be modified by adjusting the structural profile of the structural members.
- a greater rate of biodegradability of the structural members is required, for example in order to meet biodegradability criterion specified by a given standard, it may be desirable that the at least one dimension of the structural members does not exceed about 1.2mm. In some cases, it may be desirable that the at least one dimension does not exceed about lmm.
- the grooming tools comprise at least 90 wt.% of the structural members, and the at least one dimension of the structural members does not exceed about lmm.
- Grooming tools manufactured with these specifications will generally meet the biodegradability criterion specified in ASTM 6400 or EN 13432.
- the part(s) may need to be designed to maximise its mechanical strength given that the structural members have at least one dimension that does not exceed about 1.5mm.
- a handle portion of a toothbrush will generally need to be sufficiently rigid and resilient such that during use the handle does not bend excessively or break.
- the part may include a plurality of reinforcing members.
- the reinforcing members may also be formed of a biodegradable polymer and have at least one dimension that does not exceed about 1.5mm.
- the reinforcing members may be seen as structural members that perform the specific function of reinforcing the part of the grooming tool with which they are associated (e.g. a handle portion).
- the reinforcing members will generally be in the form of webs, struts, ribs and the like and may have the properties of the structural members herein described.
- one or more parts of a tool in accordance with the invention may be designed with structural members in the form of an outer wall or skin formed of a biodegradable polymer having a thickness of no greater than about 1.5mm.
- the outer wall may cover a plurality of reinforcing members (e.g. having a honeycomb or cross-member design) that are also formed of a biodegradable polymer and have at least one dimension that does not exceed about 1.5mm.
- grooming tools in accordance with the invention will in practice generally comprise a number of different structural components.
- the tools may comprise a body portion, a head portion that is connected to the body portion, and structural features that may be associated with the body and/or head portion that provide a specific grooming function.
- a personal grooming tool in accordance with the invention may comprise a body portion, at least a part of which is intended to be held during use of the tool.
