Claim 0:
1. A coupling mechanism of a shaving device, for connecting a replaceable shaving cartridge to a handle of the shaving device, the coupling mechanism comprising:
a first connector of the replaceable shaving cartridge comprising a first hook portion including a first engagement surface, a second engagement surface, and an intermediate surface, the second engagement surface and the intermediate surface forming a V-shape meeting at a first engagement point,
a second connector of the handle comprising a second hook portion oriented opposite the first hook portion and including a first surface and a second engagement surface forming an inverted V-shape and meeting at a second engagement point, the second connector being adapted to move along a substantially arc-shaped path with respect to the handle when at least one connector of the first connector and the second connector is pushed against the other of the first connector and the second connector, the second connector being adapted to mechanically engage with the first connector in a course of motion of the second connector so as to reach an engaged position with the first connector,
a locking member of the handle that is adapted to lock the second connector when the second connector is in the engaged position with the first connector, wherein
the handle of the shaving device has an overall longitudinal shape and is symmetrical across a longitudinal plane of symmetry, the second connector being able to slideably translate along a substantially arc-shaped path lying in a plane that is parallel to the plane of symmetry under a pressure applied in an axial direction that is substantially aligned with the overall longitudinal shape of the handle, and wherein
in the engaged position the second engagement point is closer to the substantially arc-shaped path than the first engagement point.
