Summary[edit]

Description
English: Perspective and enlarged sectional patent drawings of an unreleased Gillette razor, known in-development as Contra and later as Atra (acronym for Australian Test Razor; not to be confused with the 1977 twin-blade, swiveling-head razor known as Atra in the U.S. and Contour in Europe). The patent describes the razor as a "bi-directional shaving system in which shaving may be effected with a stroke in either of two opposite directions."
The razor was ready and planned to be launched in 1971, but was abandoned last-minute in favor of the Trac II, which retained the familiar method of shaving in one direction.

Licensing[edit]

Public domain The text and illustrations of US patents published before March 1, 1989 are in the public domain unless the patent text contains a specific notice that portions are copyrighted. See 37 CFR 1.71(d), 37 CFR 1.84(s)

The original patent contains no such notice, so its contents are in the public domain. Note: This only applies to images published before March 1, 1989. Patents published after that date are most likely copyrighted, unless in the public domain for another reason, such as {{PD-ineligible}}.
