To all whom it may concern: ;
Be it known that I, William J. Bauer, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago; county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Razor-Blade Sharpeners, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a device adapted to be used for sharpening the blades used in connection with safety razors and the principal object of the invention is to provide a device capable of performing its work in an efficient manner and which will always place the blade upon the hone or strop at the proper angle for sharpening.
Another object of my invention is to construct a device which will be light and yet sufficiently strong to withstand the constant use that such a device is subjected to without losing the alinement of any of its parts.
Further objects of the invention reside in the means for drawing the jaw members together in order to grip the razor blade and certain features of construction for decreasing the cost of manufacture.
Having now described the general nature and objects of the invention I will proceed to describe the device in detail and in the accompanying drawing—
Referring now more particularly to the drawing the device comprises a handle
Mounted upon the rear ends of the angle determining members
In the preferred form of construction the blade holding member and the angle determining members are formed from a single piece of material that is suitably bent upon itself and held together by means of a plurality of lugs
The operation of the device is as follows: By turning the wedge block
Having now described my invention, I claim:
1. A safety razor blade sharpener comprising a handle, a blade holding member pivoted to said handle, angle determining members secured to said blade holding member and arranged upon opposite sides of said handle and rollers connected to said angle determining members and positioned upon opposite sides of said handle.
2. A safety razor blade sharpener comprising a handle, a blade holding member pivotally connected to said handle, angle determining members secured to said blade holding member and longitudinally disposed relative to said handle and a pair of rollers pivotally connected to said angle determining members and arranged upon opposite sides of said handle.
3. A safety razor blade sharpener comprising a blade holding member, angle determining members connected to said blade holding member, rollers connected to said angle determining members and spaced from each other and a handle extending between said rollers and angle determining members and pivotally connected to said blade holding member centrally thereof.
4. A safety razor blade sharpening device comprising a pair of jaw members, a pair of angle determining members formed from a single piece of material, a handle connected to said jaw members centrally thereof and a pair of rollers connected to said angle determining members and disposed upon opposite sides of said handle.
William J. Bauer.
