To all whom rivt may concern:
Be it known that I, Daniel W. Gage, of Cambridge, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ra.zor-Blade Holders, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates particularly to razors of the so-called safety type, and embodying a blade-holding arm having a longitudinal socket which is open at the outer end of the arm, and is adapted to receive one or more flat razor blades; and detents located at opposite ends of said socket and adapted to detachably engage shoulders formed on the end portions of the said blade or blades, a shouldered filling piece being employed adapted to be inserted with the blade in the socket, and to be engaged by the said detent, the blade being separable from the filling piece as well as from the carrying arm, so that different blades may be interchangeably used with the same carrying arm and filling piece.
The invention consists in the several improvements which I will now proceed to describe and claim.
Of the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification,
The same numerals of reference indicate the same parts in all the drawings.
Referring to
When the parts are assembled, as shown in
In the embodiment of my invention shown in
The socket which receives the blade and filling piece is indicated in
The arm constructed as shown in
It is obvious that the construction shown in
I claim:
1. A razor blade holder comprising an arm having a longitudinal blade-receiving socket which is open at the outer end of the arm, and detents located at opposite ends of said socket, and adapted to detachably engage shoulders formed in the ends of a razor blade inserted in the socket and hold the blades against vertical and endwise movement, one of said detents being slidable on the arm toward and from the other.
2. A razor blade holder comprising an arm having a longitudinal blade-receiving socket which is open at the outer end of the arm, and detents located at opposite ends of said socket, and adapted to detachably engage shoulders formed on the ends of a razor blade inserted in the socket and hold the blade against vertical or endwise movement, one of said detents being slidable on the arm toward and from the other, and provided with a securing member slidable upon and adapted to detachably engage the arm.
3. A razor blade holder comprising an arm having a longitudinal blade-receiving socket which is open at the outer end of the arm, and detents located at opposite ends of said socket, and adapted to detachably engage shoulders formed on the ends of a razor blade inserted in the socket and hold the blade against vertical and endwise movement, one of said detents being movable on the arm toward and from the other, and provided with a sheath slidable endwise upon and adapted to frictionally engage the arm.
4. A razor blade holder comprising an arm ‘having a thickened back and a longitudinal blade-receiving socket which is open at the outer end of the arm, a fixed detent at the inner end of said socket, a clamping sheath adapted to frictionally engage the thickened back and to slide endwise thereon, a detent carried by said sheath, and movable therewith toward and from the fixed detent, said detents being adapted to engage shoulders on the ends of a razor blade inserted in said socket and hold the blade against vertical and endwise movement.
5. In combination, a razor blade holder comprising an arm having a socket, a razor blade having a shouldered notch in each end and, inserted in the socket, a filling piece having a shouldered notch in each end and inserted with the blade in said socket, a fixed detent carried by the arm, and a detent slidable upon the arm, said detents being adapted to simultaneously engage the shoulders in the ends of the blade and filling piece.
6. In combination, a razor blade holder comprising an arm having a socket, a razor blade having a shouldered notch in each end and a filling piece having a shouldered notch in each end and inserted side by side in said socket, said filling piece being formed as a guard for the edge of the blade, and a fixed detent carried by the arm and a detent slidable on the arm and adapted to simultaneously engage the shouldered notches of the blade and filling piece.
7. In combination, a razor blade holder comprising an arm having a socket, a pair of shouldered razor blades and an intermediate shouldered filling piece inserted in the socket, said filling piece being formed as a guard for the edges of the blades, and detents carried by the arm, and adapted to simultaneously engage the shoulders of the blades and filling piece.
In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
Daniel W. Gage.
