To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Russ J. Christy, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fremont, in the county of Sandusky and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety-Razors, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to safety-razors, and has for its object to provide an improved and simplified construction that can be cheaply made and is adapted to produce improved results in practical use and is not liable to get out of order or derangement; and to these ends my invention consists in the various features of construction and arrangement of parts, having the general mode of operation substantially as hereinafter more particularly pointed out.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein I have illustrated the preferred embodiment of my invention,
Referring to the drawings,
The cutting-blade is mounted upon the supporting-plate and may be secured thereto in various ways, and in the present instance I have shown the supporting-plate provided with a plurality of lugs
In order to hold the blade in position, I provide what I term a “securing-plate”
While the device thus far described makes a complete operative razor, it is desirable to provide the razor with what I have termed a “comb,” which not only serves the ordinary functions of a comb, but also serves as a safety-guard for the cutting-blade. While this comb may be variously constructed and arranged, I prefer to attach it to the securing-plate and, in fact, prefer to make it as an integral portion of the securing-plate, and I have shown the plate
Such being the general description of the embodiment of the invention shown, its operation will be generally understood from what has already been shown, and it will be seen that the whole constitutes a simple and effective device which can be cheaply made and which can be readily adjusted in operative or inoperative position, permitting thorough cleansing of the parts after use or the substitution of different blades or the removal and replacement of the blade, as in sharpening the same. Thus assuming the parts to be in the position indicated in
Having thus fully described one embodiment of my invention, without limiting my self to the precise details shown and described, which may be varied by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles thereof, what I claim is—
1. A safety-razor having clamping-plates with parallel adjacent surfaces and a thin blade arranged to be held between them and removable therefrom sidewise with the cutting edge in front, substantially as described.
2. A safety-razor having clamping-plates adjustable with relation to each other and a thin blade arranged to be held between them and removable therefrom sidewise with the cutting edge in front, substantially as described.
3. A safety-razor having clamping-plates with parallel adjacent faces and a thin blade wholly in front of the handle and removable from the plates sidewise with the cutting edge in front, substantially as described.
4. A safety-razor having adjustable clamping-plates and a thin blade of less width than the clamping-plates and removable sidewise with the cutting edge in front, substantially as described.
5. A safety-razor having adjustable clamping-plates with devices for holding the blade in positive relation between the plates, and a thin blade removable sidewise with the cutting edge in front, substantially as described.
6. A safety-razor having adjustable clamping-plates with parallel opposing surfaces and having devices for holding the blade in positive relation between the plates, and a thin blade removable sidewise with the cutting edge in front, substantially as described.
7. A safety-razor comprising a supporting-plate, a handle connected thereto, a blade, devices for determining the relations between the blade and supporting-plate, a securing-plate, a sleeve mounted on the handle and capable of longitudinal and rotative movement thereon, and means for securing the parts in operative position, substantially as described.
8. A safety-razor comprising a supporting-plate, a handle connected thereto, a blade, a securing-plate, a comb connected to the securing-plate, and a sleeve mounted on the handle and supporting the securing-plate and comb, substantially as described.
9. A safety-razor comprising clamping-plates having parallel adjacent surfaces, a handle secured to the upper edge of one of the clamping-plates and extending at substantially right angles therefrom, a thin blade removable sidewise with the cutting edge in front and devices for securing the blade between the plates in front of the handle, substantially as described.
10. A safety-razor comprising a supporting-plate, a handle connected to said plate, a blade, a securing-plate, a sleeve carrying said plate and mounted to move longitudinally and rotatably on the handle, and a head adjustably connected to said handle to secure the parts together, substantially as described.
11. A safety-razor comprising a supporting-plate, a blade mounted thereon, a securing-plate, means for adjusting the securing-plate with relation to the supporting-plate, and a comb, the teeth of which project in front of the cutting edge of the blade, the comb being mounted on the securing-plate, substantially as described.
12. A safety-razor comprising a supporting-plate, a blade, a handle connected to the said plate, a securing-plate, a comb mounted on the securing-plate and providing an opening between the comb-teeth and securing-plate, and means for supporting the securing-plate and comb, substantially as described.
13. A safety-razor having a clamp with separate upper and lower clamping-plates movable toward and from each other, an adjustable clamping device for said plates, and a thin blade arranged to be held between them, said blade being free to slip out sidewise when the clamp is loosened.
14. A safety-razor having upper and lower clamping-plates and a screw-clamp, a cutting-blade of less width than the clamping-plates and wholly in front of the stem of the screw-clamp and removable sidewise.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
