To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Eugene J. Fuchs, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety-Razors, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in safety-razors; and the object of my invention is to facilitate the adjustment of the blade in relation to the guard, and this is accomplished by the use of a cam or eccentric which so decreases or increases the distance between the blade-support and blade-retaining clips that the blade can only be pushed forward by the retaining-spring or its equivalent until the cutting edge is in proper alinement with the guard.
In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the views,
The casing
The casing or holder is provided with clips
As the razor-blades are not all of the same width, thickness, and taper, some provision must be made for adjusting the effective distance between the top of the clip

I am aware that an eccentric has been used for clamping the blade in place as a substitute for a retaining-spring, and that I do not claim.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is—
In a safety-razor, the combination with a blade-support, of blade-retaining clips, a guard at the front of the support, a spring mechanism for pressing the blade toward the guard and an eccentric device for adjusting the distance between the blade-support and the clips, according to the thickness of the blade, substantially as set forth and whereby the blade-pressing device can press a thick or a thin blade toward the guard only to such an extent that the cutting edge of the blade will be in proper alinement with the guard.
Signed at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 8th day of January, A. D. 1901.
Eugene J. Fuchs.
