RAZOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 2'7, 1912.
Application filed April 25, 1910. Serial No. 557,526.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HAROLD EDWARD SHERWIN HOLT, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at The Grange, Farnborough, Hants, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Razors, of which the following is a specification.
This invention for improvements in or connected with razors has for its object to provide a blade holder for a razor in which a separate thin flexible blade or a rigid blade may be detachably secured and held either for stropping or shaving in the same manner as razors of the ordinary non-safety type.
A further object of the invention is to provide a holder for use in stropping safety razor blades.
According to this invention I provide a rigid back or frame adapted to be pivoted in a handle after the manner of an ordinary razor blade and to receive a blade and hold it by end tension or end pressure. The rigid back or frame has a forward projection for engaging one end of the blade and carries a pivoted folding part or lever having a long arm and a short arm or projection at an angle to the long arm for engaging the other end of the blade and arranged when folded and secured to put the blade under tension or pressure. The lever is secured in the folded position by a suitable catch thereon engaging an opening in the back.
Another form comprises a bow-shaped holder proper with a projection arranged to engage an opening in one end of the blade and an adjustable rod or stem mounted to slide in a hollow handle secured to the bow shaped part and engaging the other end of the blade. In a practical form of construction the stem is made in two parts one of which is provided with a milled head for turning and the other arranged to screw into it but not to rotate.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation on an enlarged scale of a razor constructed according to this invention, the detached blade being shown in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a similar view to Fig. 1, illustrating how one part of the frame or blade holder can be moved to allow of the insertion or removal of the blade. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on lines 2 a of Fig. 2. Fig. 3 is a side elevation partly in section of a modified form of blade holder for use either in stropping or shaving.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 the frame or blade holder on is pivoted to fold in a razor handle a of the ordinary type, and consists of a rigid back a with an integral fixed projection or arm 6 provided with a stud 0 for engaging one end of the blade d and a movable arm 6 provided with a stud c for engaging the other end of the blade (Z. The movable arm 6 forms part of a folding angle lever e pivotallyconnected at f with the rigid back a and provided at the opposite end with a catch 9 which in the folded position enters a slot h in the rigid back a as shown in Fig. 1. To facilitate its release the catch has an extension 9 thereon to which pressure may be applied with the finger. In the example shown the blade cl which has suitable openings near its ends for the engagement of the'studs c 0 on the frame or holder, is held in position on the studs by the tension exerted through the angle lever 6 when in the folded position. l/Vhen not in use the blade may be folded into the handle a and thereby. protected from injury.
In the modified form of construction shown in Fig. 3 a bow shaped holder or back a is fixed on a suit-able handle a, bored longitudinally to receive a rod or stem formed in two parts i i. The part i is mounted to rotate and has a milled head j at one end and at the other end an internally screw-threaded opening for the reception of a screwed pin is formed on the other part i of the stem which is arranged to slide but not rotate in the handle. The blade d is held on studs or projections c 0 formed respectively on the stem part z" and the bow shaped hack (1. Tension or pressure is applied to the blade to retain it on the studs 0 0 by turning the milled head j.
It will be seen that the holders described maybe used to hold a blade of the safety type either for stropping or shaving, and that the blades are readily reversible or renewable.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A razor comprising in combination, a
blade, holding means therefor composed of ing on its other end a shoulder or lug to a main longitudinal member having a lati enter said opening. 10 eral blade holding portion projecting there- In testimony whereof I- have aiiiXed my from and also having a locking opening, an i signature, in presence of two Witnesses.
