Claim Text:
1. A shaving blade cartridge comprising: a housing extending along a longitudinal axis (X-X), having a top side, a bottom side opposite to the top side and first and second longitudinal side, each extending longitudinally along the longitudinal axis between the top and bottom side, the housing being provided with first and second through holes extending transversally to the longitudinal axis through the housing between the top side and the bottom side and a groove forming a curved surface connecting the top side and the first longitudinal side, the first longitudinal side having a cap member, the second longitudinal side having a guard bar member, and a first and second vertical side extending substantially transverse to the first and second longitudinal side, at least one cutting blade mounted in the housing between the first and second longitudinal side, and having a cutting edge extending along the longitudinal axis, at least two clips retaining the at least one cutting blade in the housing, wherein each of the two clips includes a first leg, a second leg and a clip body extending between the first and second legs, wherein the first leg of each clip is disposed in the groove in the first longitudinal side and at least a portion of the bottom side of the housing, wherein the second leg of each clip is received in the first and second through holes such that each of the at least two clips wraps around the first longitudinal side only without wrapping around the second longitudinal side, the guard bar member being forward of the at least one cutting blade extending between the at least two clips, and the cap member being aft of the at least one cutting blade extending between the at least two clips, wherein the clip body extends along a transversal axis (Y-Y), the transversal axis being orthogonal to the longitudinal axis (X-X), and wherein the clip body is arranged facing the top side of the blade cartridge, wherein the second leg of each clip is bent around at least a portion of the bottom side, wherein the first and second through holes are arranged adjacent to the guard bar member, wherein the groove in the first longitudinal side includes a first groove formed between the cap member and the first vertical side, and a second groove formed between the cap member and the second vertical side, wherein the cap member comprises a shaving aid member that is smaller in length than the at least one cutting blade and extends between the at least two clips, and the guard bar member is smaller in length than the at least one cutting blade and extends between the at least two clips, and wherein an underside of each of the clips comprises angled grooves that define angles with respect to edges of the at least one cutting blade for receiving and contacting the at least one cutting blade to ensure a more secure connection between the at least two clips and the at least one cutting blade.
