RAYMOND WILHELM, F CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.v
saniert Razor..
Application tiled August 9, 1921. Serial No. 490,974.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that l, RAYMOND H. WIL- HELM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Safety Razors, of
I which the followin is a specification.
This invention re ates to safety razors and an object of this invention is to providey a combined safety razor and flashlight which are 'arranged so that the rays from the light will project upon the face or' the user of the razor so as to prevent the casting of a shadow over the face and permit the shaver to clearly see the portions of his face as they are engaged by the. razor enabling him to' make a clean shave.
Practically every shaver has experienced l diculty and annoyance at times owing to the impro-per position of light when shaving often resulting in leaving some of the beard on the face in spots, and it is an object of rthis invention to combine a battery lamp structure which is embodied in the handle of a safety razor and may be excited during l Vshaving with the razor for clearly illuminating the shavers face.
Another object of this invention is to providea razor carrying head which is provided with a pair of light deflecting surfaces projecting at acute angles from the axis of the y lamp bulb and towards the cutting edges of the razor blade so as to properly distribute the light from the bulb.
@ther objects of the invention will appear 'in the following detailed description and in the accompanying drawingwherein:
Fig. 1 is an edge elevation of the improved razor.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the razor. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary vertical section through the razor.
F ig, 4 is a top plan of the improved razor' head.
Fig. 5 is a plan of the razor blade. Referring more particularly to the drawing the improved razor comprises a handle 1 which includes a cylinder body shell 2 forming a housing for a battery 3 of the dry cell type. rllhe cylinder shell 2 has a removable cap 4 removably mounted upon one end which engages the annular flange 5 formed upon the lamp socket 6 and clamps the lamp socket securely in position relative to the shell 2. The plug 7 of the lamp structure 8 is threaded into the socket 6 and the central electrode 9 thereof engages the central electrode 10 of the battery 3 while the circuit is completed through the body shell 2 by moving the slidable contact 11 into engagement with the disc 12 of' conducting material, which has a spring 13 engaging it which spring also engages the battery 3. The disc 12 is insulated from the cap 14 lby suitable insulating discs 15 'and the cap 14 is threaded upon the shell 2 for maintaining the battery "3 and discs 12 and 15 in proper position.
The cap 4.7has the razor carrying head 16 formed thereon, which head is drilled to provide an internal screw threaded bore 17 which receives the shank 18 of the-back 19 of the razor structure. rllhe back 19 clamps the blade 2O against the razor head A21 to properlyposition the blade for shaving and the head 21 is provided with spaced teeth 22 under its edges to provide a safety razor. The razor carrying head 16 is also provided with two cutout portions 23, which form out` wardly inclining light deiecting surfaces 24 which radiate from the axis of the bulb 8 outwardlytowards the cutting edges of the blade 20 to properly delect the light rays from the bulb 8 upon the face of the'user.
The head 21 of the razor structure is securely clamped in place by the thread of the shank 18 into the razor carrying head 16.
rllhe bulb 8 may be excited at the will of In Fig. 4 of the drawings the top plan of the improved razor head structure 19 is shown, the blade being illustrated .in Fig. 5 of the drawing. The blade 31 is provided with a straight edge 32 extending throughout its entire length and With a relatively short straight edge 33, extending parallel to the edge 32 and also extending equal distances in each direction from the transverse center of the bladef The cutting edged portions of the blade 31 outwardly of the ends of the cutting ends are concavely curved as shown at 34, these concave cutting edges being provided to facilitate the shaving of the users face such as along the jaw bones and about the cl'in, which portions of the face are rather ifiicult to properly clean with the ordinary straight cutting edge of a razor. A razor head 19 is constructed in accordance with the shape of the blade 31 and it has the usual form of guarding teeth along all of its edges which lie in proximity to the cutting edges of the blade.
It is,l of course, to be understood that the invention may be constructed in various other manners and the parts associated in di'erent relations and, therefore, I do not desire to be limited in any manner except as set forth in the claims hereunto appended.
Having thus described my invention what I-clailn is:
1. In combination a safety razor head havin ,a threaded shank, illuminating means inclu ing a shell and a bulb, a reflector supporting the bulb and having a flange resting upon the end of the she-ll, a head having a.
mamans threaded bore for receiving said shank andA havlng cutout portions forming deflecting :surfaces converging towards the center of the bulb, a cap secured to the head and adaptedfto have screw threaded engagement with the shell for binding said Harige in position.
2. ln combination a safety razor head having a threaded shank, illuminating means including a she-ll and a bulb, a reiector supportin the bulb and having a flange resting upon t e end of the shell, a head having a threaded bore for receiving said shank and having cutout portions forming'deflecting surfaces converging' towards the center of the bulb, a cap secured to the head and adapted to have screw threaded engagement with the sh'ell for bindin said flange in position, and glass covers or said cutout portions.
whereof l aliix In si nature.
