np iitzuon-ilerjag yii, 1917. Serial no, 157,917. Ibamvaomiamaycmeem: ieather er canvas tripsprcduce the trap- Be it known that I, 11m ns!l kifni k'Kimmie ADAMS, a citizen of the ited stgites, and resident of the'bci'oii lro mssaaan, city, county, and State o New York, have inversed certain "new and m'serui m r-eve. f ments in Razor-Stropping Devices, ofWh-ich the following is a specification.

The principal advantages of the invention are its simplicity, the fact that a number of razor blades may be contained in the holder, and the interchangeable and removable hone all of which combine to produce an eflicient device for the purpose that will be described in the specification which follows.

The following is what I consider a good means of carrying out my invention and the accompanying drawing should be re ferred to for a complete understanding of the specification which follows.

In the drawing Figure 1 shows my device in operation.

Fig. 2 shows the device open.

Similar reference numerals indicate like parts in all of the figures where they appear.

My device primarily consists of what may be termed a book, although the book consists only of 2 covers 1 and 2, hinged together about midlength by a suitable strap or hinge 3. The book may be constructed of any suitable material, and in my experiments I have constructed my book of stiff card board, covering the interior with artificial or natural leather, and the exterior with paper or celluloid or any other suitable material.

In the leather portion which is attached to the interior of the covers I provide a plurality of pockets or slits 5, 6' and 7 in the cover 1, and 8, 9 and 10 in the cover 2. These slits or pockets may be of an length,

but those that I have shown area apted to receive razor blades. On the interior of the cover 1, and adjacent to the slits 5, 6 and 7 I place the word sharp indicating that in these pockets sharp or unused blades are to be found therein, and on the other cover and adjacent to the pockets 8, 9 and 10 the word dull has an obvious significance.

On each cover and upon the inner side thereof and arranged ad acent to one end, I attach a piece of leather or canvas or other suitable material, and these two opposed men l n eredlntosuit file tickets; or slits 11 and 12; a t the"oppcsite* 'nd "and" upon the interior each. of the s er m m e s 1, an iarrange pieces of canvas er ether upon which a suitable rouge or abrasive is placed, and these two opposed rouge carrying members comprise the hon- 1ng means.

Each of the bone members 13 and 14 has rouge on both of its sides, and their attachment by tongues 15 and 16 into the slits or pockets 11 and 12 allows the hone members to be removed to be turned over so that the opposite sides may be used or other hone members substituted.

I provide a strap 17 and snap fastener 18, 19 for holding my book closed.

The operation of the device is as follows:

The book is opened, a razor blade removed and placed upon one of the bone members 13 or 14, the book is then closed with the razor blade 20 projecting beyond the end of the book as shown in Fig. 1. Then the razor blade is passed backward and forward across and between the hone members 13 and 1 1, one of which is, by the closing of the book, caused to impinge and bear upon the opposite surface of the razor blade.

When the honing is completed the razor blade is removed and inserted into the opposite end of the book, and between the stropping surfaces and a few movements of the blade between the strops 21 and 22 will complete the opertion of honing and strop pin the razor blade for use. After the bla e is used it may be returned to the pocket from which it was received or to a pocket in the opposite side of the book.

I have found that an ordinary amount of skill will allow an operator or user to pro- (15106 upon the razor blade a very satisfactory e e.

y device may be used with a razor blade of any type, size or design.

The size of the device and the parts thereon may tional pa es to the book with added advantages an functions. The device may be made cheaply and when advertising is placed on the covers the device has an added va ue.

be changed at will. I may add addi- The number of pockets and the size thereof ma be changed at will, or I In? subdi- Izidg t e pockets for the reception 0 smaller la es.

Any other modifications may be made within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the principle or sacrificing the advanta es of the invention.

Having carefully an fully described my invention what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is.

A book for holding safety razor blades and sharpening means therefor comprising a pair of oblong covers having in their inner faces a lurahty of longitudinal slits for holding lades, and a plurality of transverse copies of this slits, a pair of opposed removable transverse honin members, eac at one and the same end 0 the res ective covers and each having a projection tting a corresponding transverse slit, 0 posed strapping members at the opposite en s of the covers on the inner face thereof, and a flexible hinge connecting the covers and retaining the hone and strop members opposed in pairs.
