To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Albert Richard Weisz, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Safety-Razors, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to provide a razor-guard which will sit close to the razor edge and which can be readily adjusted to various blades or razors; and the invention resides in the novel features of construction set forth in the following specification and claims, and illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which—
The razor-blade comprises the back
The guard
It has been found that if a space or slit is left between edge
The teeth
The guard is adjustably connected to the clamp or to clamp part
A rack is formed in the guard or in the clamp, as the case may be, a slot
The clamp parts
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is—
1. In a safety-razor, the combination with a razor-blade, of a clamp constructed to extend round the back of the blade and bear against one side thereof, a guard formed integral with projecting inherently elastic teeth having curved outer extremities which spring and bear directly against the cutting edge of the blade, a rack forming a part of the guard, a pinion engaging the rack and provided with a head to bear against the guard, and a head connected with the pinion and bearing against the clamp, substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. In a safety-razor, the combination with a razor-blade, of a clamp constructed to extend round the back of the blade and bear against one side thereof, a guard having slots with toothed edges, and inherently elastic teeth which spring and bear directly against the cutting edge of the blade, pinions arranged in the slots of the guard and engaging the teeth thereof, a head connected with the pinion and bearing against the guard, and a head connected with the pinion and bearing against the clamp, substantially as and for the purposes described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
Albert Richard Weisz.
