attached to the head and holding the blade' in position. Means are alsoprovided for adjusting the blade in relation to the front of the head or guard whereby-the blade may be madeto out either coarse or fine according as either a close or light shave is desired. As a convenient means for such ad- -justment, I provide one or more studs, or
projections on the head and engaging oblique surfaces of the blade whereby the shifting of the blade transversely of the head causes the cutting edge of the blade to advance or retreat, as may be desired.
Shoulders or stops adapted to engage said Studs servev to limit the transverse movement of the blade and to prevent the accidental dismounting of the same. i
The handle may be either permanently or removably attached to the head. The re sili'ent fingers may be formed separate from the head and secured thereto, or the fingers and the head may be integral, as, for in stance, stamped from a single sheet or plate of material and bent to form.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of my razor showing the fingers made separate from the head and attachcd thereto; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same partially in section along the line 11-11 in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a plan view of the head, the blade being shown in dotted lines; Fig. 4 is a rear elevation of the head; Fig. 5 is a plan view of the blade; Fig. (3 is a similar view showing a slight modification thereof; Fig. ,7 is a view. similar to Fig. l, but showing the head and fingers formed integrally and stamped and bent to form from sheet or plate metal; Fig. 8 is abroken side elevation of the same. partially in section along the line IX--IX in Fig. 7; Fig. 9 is a plan view of the head, and Fig. 10 is a rear elevation of the same.
The following is a detailed description of the drawings:
. 1 is the head of the razor to which the handle 2 is either permanently or removably secured. I have shown said handle at tached to the rear of the head at an angle which is convenient for shaving and which permlts packing the razor in a very small compass. The head 1 is provided with a flat blade-platform 3 in frontof which is formed the guard. I
In the drawings the guard is shown'in the form of a bar 4supported from the body of the head 1 by integral arms 55, the arms and bar curving or dropping out of the plane of the platform 3, so that when the blade is mounted its cutting edge extends or s spaced away from the guard. By spacmg the guard away from the platform 3 I obtain a slot or opening 6 under the cutting edge of the blade through which the lat-her and severed beard may escape to avoid clog.- ging the razor. I have shown the guard in the form of a plain bar instead of a toothed or serrated member, but it wilLbe understood that I do not limit myself to such structure."
77 represent one or more resilient fingers extending forwardly over theplatform 3 whose otfice is to press the blade down on said platform and prevent its accidental movement thereon.
In Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive, I have shown said fingers formed integrally witlra plate 8-secured, as byscrews, to the rear face of the head 1. When this construction is used I may form the fingers of steel or phosphorus-bronze to give the required strength and resiliency while the head may be of brass, Babbitt-metalor other suitable material, all the parts being suitably plated or otherwise finished.
In Figs. 7 to 10, inclusive. I show the head of the razor stamped from suitable sheet or plate metal, the guard 4, arms 5 blade platform 3 and fingers 77 being Eatented Dec. 31,1912.
t'ormed integrally by bending to proper con tour the properly cut blank. The fingers 77. in this case, extend forwardly from a curved or looped portion 9 \vhose other extremity is integral with the material of platform 3. The handle 2 may be of a piece with the head, or. as may be more convenient. threaded or otherwise secured as at 10 to the under portion of the head.
I v 11 is the bladeimade of steel i the studs 1515 maintained in contact with" said surfaces 13-13 will produce an oblique cutting edge in relation-to the guard 4, the
other suitable-material, with a cutting edge 12, and, preferably of somewhat greater length than the platform 3-so that the fingers may freely grasp the endsof the table in mounting or dismounting the same. The
the rear body of the blade the ends thereof being curved so that the fingers may exert cutting edge is preferably of less lengththan rearward pressure ln pushing blade onto the platform 3 under the fingers 7-7.
13 represents one or more inclined surfaces or walls of the blade 11 disposed diagonally or obliquely orat an angle to the cutting edge 12, and, at the ends of these inclined walls, are vertical walls or sto s 14-14; said inclined walls and vertical wa ls being formed'by recessing the blade from the rear edge thereof.
15 represents one or more studs, pins or other projections on the platform 3 adapted to impinge against the surface or surfaces 13 when the blade is mounted. The studs 15 prevent a direct rearward retreat of the blade on the platform,,but a movementof the blade transversely of the platform, with motion resulting in the advance or retreat of the cutting edge in'relation to the ard- 4. Thus in Fig. 1 I have shown the lade moved toward the right into its extreme sition and retreated as far as capable. in relation to the guard 4. In Fig. 3 the blade is moved toward the left to advance the cutting edge to its extreme forward position in relation to the guard 4:. The stops 14- 14: prevent accidental dismounting of theblade during lateral adjustment.
The more advanced the position of the more closely will the razor shave, since the extension of the cutting edge beyond the platform 3 is increased. The less'said extension, the more lightly will be the shave. By
. adjusting the surfaces 1313 in relation to the studs 1515 the blade may be placed in the proper-position to provide a shave of the "degree of closeness desired bythe user..
The'fingers 7-7 se we to hold the. blade against movement from any adjusted position, but as an additional safeguard against accidental shifting, I may provide the surfaces 13'-13-as in Fig. 6,with a plurality of stud-seats or indentations 16-16 which when occupied by the studs 15-15 effectually lock the blade against lateral or rear- I ward slips.
