To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, Frederick Kampfe, Richard Kampfe, and Otto Kampfe, citizens of the United States, and residents 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.
The object of our invention is to provide a new and improved safety-razor which is simple in construction, light, strong, and durable, holds the blade firmly in place and at proper adjustment in relation to the guard, and which safety-razor has its casing so constructed that the entire top can be swung up and back, so as to fully expose the guard, the under side of the top of the casing, and the upper side of the bottom of the casing, and so as to permit of readily and thoroughly removing the lather and hair and thoroughly cleaning and drying the blade-holder.
In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate like parts in all the views,
The casing
On the free front edge of the hinged top
The top
At each end of the hinged top a blade-retaining clip
The blade-supports or end pieces
When the top section
As shown in

In the construction shown in
In the construction shown in
The locking mechanism in all constructions shown is entirely within the casing and on the same side or wall of the casing on which the hinge-joint is formed. The casing is open at the front from end to end and there is no connection whatever, either temporary or permanent, between the top and bottom parts of the casing at the front.
Having described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is—
1. In a safety-razor, a blade-holding casing having its top hinged to the body of the casing at the rear and a locking device on the rear of the casing for holding such hinged top in closed position, the top and bottom parts of the casing being entirely disconnected at the front, substantially as herein shown and described.
2. In a safety-razor, a blade-holding casing having its top hinged to the body of the casing at the rear and a locking device on the rear of the casing for holding such hinged top in closed position, which locking device acts automatically to both lock and unlock when the hinged top is forced down or up, substantially as herein shown and described.
3. In a safety-razor, a blade-holding casing, having its top hinged to the body of the casing at the rear and a locking device on the rear of the casing and entirely within the casing and serving for holding such hinged top in closed position and which locking device acts automatically to lock and unlock both when the hinged top is forced down or up, substantially as herein shown and described.
4. In a safety-razor, a blade-holding casing composed of a bottom part, and a top part hinged to the upper rear edge of the bottom part to swing upward and toward the rear, said top part having convex blade-supporting transverse end pieces and end blade-retaining clips, the front of the hinged top being entirely disconnected from the front of the bottom section and a locking device for locking the hinged top in place for use on the bottom part, substantially as herein shown and described.
5. In a safety-razor, a blade-holding casing having a bottom section and a top section, hinged to each other at the rear to permit swinging the top section upward and toward the rear, two projecting members on the inner surface of the rear wall of the casing of which one member is on the top section and the other on the bottom section, said two members being adapted to engage, for the purpose of locking the top section in place when it is swung down toward the front, substantially as herein shown and described.
6. In a safety-razor, a blade-holding casing having a top section hinged at its rear to the rear wall of a bottom section to swing upward and toward the rear, a projecting part on the inner surface of the rear part of the hinged top and extending down beyond the bottom edge of said hinged part and a means on the inner surface of the bottom section for engaging the projection on the hinged section, substantially as herein shown and described.
7. In a safety-razor, a blade-holding casing, substantially
8. In a safety-razor, a blade-holding casing, substantially
9. In a safety-razor, a blade-holding casing having a hinged top provided at its front edge with a guard and at each end with a transverse blade-supporting end piece, said end pieces each terminating at the front in downwardly-extending lugs, and each lug having an upwardly-extending arm along its inner edge, which arm extends above the guard and is in a plane parallel with the front of the casing substantially as herein shown and described.
Signed at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 26th day of February, A. D. 1901.
