To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Albert L. Silberstein, of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Safety-Razor, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved safety-razor which is simple and durable in construction and readily adjusted to bring the blade in proper relation to the guard.
The invention consists of a bed-plate for the blade and formed at its front end into integral prongs forming a guard, and clips fitted to slide in the side edges of the bed-plate and adapted to engage the top prongs of the blade, the clips being adjustably held on arms extending downwardly from the bed-plate.
The invention also consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
The improved safety-razor is provided with a bed-plate
The blade
The vertical members of the clips
Now in order to hold the blade
On the under side of the bed-plate
Now it will be seen that by the arrangement described the blade
