To all 'whom it may concern:

'y Be it known that I, JOSEPH A. BnAAMIsf- DERFER, a citizen of the United States,resid ing at Jonestown, in the county of Lebanonv and State of Pennsylvania, have inventedja` knew and useful Razor-Sharpener.; and I do hereby declare the 'following tov be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention such as willienable others skilled in the art they are mounted.

' shown in the drawings, and claimed.

to which it appert'ains to make and .use the. same. 's

This invention relates to a new and useful razor sharpening or honing machine. p

l' The invention comprises features and combinations of parts, as hereinafter set forth,

, In thedrawingsa-Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of a razorsharpening or hon ing machine constructed in .accordance with i thel invention. Fig. 2 isa view in front ele` vation, clearly disclosing the. razor holder. Fig. 3 is a plan view. Fig. 4'is a detail View in perspective of the'razor holder, including the means ,whereby the razor is` held yieldably in contact with one or the. other honing disk..r Fig. 5` is a sectional Viewl on line 5--5` of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a detail sec` tional view on line 6-6 of Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a sectional view through the sharpening (ir-honing disks, showing the shaft on which Referringto the drawings 1 designates a base frame having two transversely disposed vbeams 2 and 3. Rising from the beam 3 are'Lv the standards 4'and 5 in bearings 6 of which a shaft 7 is journaled. Arranged on the `shaft is a hub member 8, which constitutes means for holding the honing. or sharpening disks- 9 equally spaced apart. Nuts 10 are threaded on the shaft 7, and in contact with the outer faces -of the metal honing disks, for'elamping the disks against the hub member. The adjacent faces of the disks '9 are providedy with areas of honing material or leather or felt-11', so that each side of the razur blade 12-.may besharpened or honed. s On one end of the shaft 77a pinion 13'is mounted which meshes with the' gear 1 4 which is providedwith a'handle 15) of the shaft 16. The shaft 16 is mounted in a bearing 17 of the standard 5. Upon one end of the shaft 16 adisk 18 is mounted, to

which a rod'. 19 is ecoentricallyconnected.

of a rock shaft '-21, which is' mounted in bear- 4The. rod 19 is turn pivoted to an arm 42()u 'ings `22rising'from .the base frame yof the machine.' 'The rock'shaft 21 at the end topf..

posite the arm 20 is provided ,with a second armj22a which is disposed at right "angles to the'first arm. T o the free end of the arm y 22*L a rod 23 ispi'votally connected. v The rod 23 passes through anjopening ofthe shank v24,0f'the razor holder 25. Disposed oneach side of the shank 24, and surrounding the rod 23 isa coil spring"26'. To regulate the the shank the tension of the springs is in`v crea-sed, Whiohlincreases 'the frlctional contact between-the razor blade and the 'honing surfaces.

tension of the Springs 'nuts 27V are threaded :on the'rod 23" By turning fthe nuts toward TheV razor holder 2b consists ofthe body f 28 (which forms a part of thev shank) andthe clamping jaws 29, which are pivoted as at' 30 tothe shank," The body 28 is p ivotedi upon a bolt 31,

ich isA carried by the 'standard v32. The base ofthe' standard 32 is provided with a l foot 33, through which a bolt 34 extends, which-bolt penetrates an elongated slot of the beam 2. Threaded on the bolt 34 is a nut 35, whereby the foot and its standard may be adjusted longitudinally of the beam 2, so as to dispose the holder centrally between the sharpening or honing disks.v The'uppez end of the body 2,8flis so i bifuroated as shown. at 37,and eiztending through the bifurcation is a screw bolt 38,

which also penetrates the clamping jaws 29,vk

there being nut threadedvon the' bolt38,

whereby the jaws maybe brought together,vk

or loosely separated.

Inhoning or sharpening razors andfthelike, the razor blade is clamped betweenthe Jaws 29, in the manner shown in the draw' 1ng s,tafter which the gearl 14 is:V rotated,, which in turn imparts motion to the pinion 13,;and thence to the shaft 7, by virtue of which the' sharpening or honing disks are revolved.l As the shaft '7 is rotated, the

shaft 16, with which the gear 14 rotates, is

also rotated, which in turn imparts a rock. ing motion to the rock shaftLthrough the.

medium of the rod 19- and'the disk 18. lBy

'rocking the rock shaft the holder is oscil-4 lated in one direction or the other, so as to throw first one and then the other of the sides rool of the razor blades yieldably in Contact with first one and then the other of the sharpening or honing surfaces of the disk.

lVhen t-he nut on the bolt 38 is loosened the jaws 29 are separated by the spring 40.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is In a razor honing machine, a base having supporting standards thereon, a shaft journaled therein, a pair of parallel spaced apart honing disks on the shaft, a standard, means for adjusting the last standard transversely of the disks, a razor holder pivoted to the last standard, means for rotating th'e disks, a rock shaft having connections with the v diskl rotating means, a rod extending slidably to the lowe'r endl of the razor holder and having connections with the rock shaft, yieldable means on each side of the lower end of the holder, 'and means threaded on the rod' for adjusting the tension of the yielding means, the yieldable means constituting means for throwing the razor yieldably 1n contact with first one and then the other of the honing disks.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. I
