OILER CASE FOR SAFETY-RAZOR BLADES OR THE LIKE.

Application filed July 8, 1921. Serial No. 483,271.

To all whom itmay concern Be it known that I, JOHN WILLARD GUIoE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have made certain new and useful Improvements 1n Oiler Cases for Safety-lRazor Blades or the Like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an oiler case for safety razor blades or the like.

As is well known, safety razor blades after being used and then laid aside, will usually oxidize to such an extent that the cutting edge thereof is impaired, and for that reason the blade cannot be used a great number of times for shaving. Likewise it is of common knowledge that if the surface is covered with a film of oil that oxidization will be prevented.

With the above in view it is the object of the present invention to provide an oiler case by which a safety razor blade may be covered with a film of oil in an expeditious and thorough manner.

Other objects will hereinafter appear in the detailed description to follow.

The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing, in which 2- Figure 1 is a perspective view of an oiler case, when the same is closed;

Figure 2 is a similar View of the same and illustrating the case in its open position;

Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional View of the oiler case taken at the time when the same is open, as shown in Figure 2.

Referring to the drawings more particularly, 10 and 11 indicate a pair of lids, each of which is in the shape of a rectangular tray, and one tray being inverted with relation to the other. A similar end of each lid is formed with a suitable pair of eyes as shown at 12 and 13 respectively, and said eyes register with each other and are adapted to accommodate a pin 14 by which they are hingedly connected to each other. Also, each lid is provided at its hinged end with a tab 15 and upon the pin 14 at a central portion thereof there is encircled a coil spring 16, the ends of the coil spring beingsuita-bly secured so that the tendency of the spring is to urge the lids toward each other.

Each lid or tray has positioned therein a pad 18 said pads being made of cotton or similar material adapted for absorbing oil.

The pads 18 are of substantially the same length and width as a safety razor blade, a safety razor blade being shown as at 19 Flgure 2. Also, it will be observed that the pads are of such a thickness that the edges of the lids or trays 10 and 11 are not permltted to engage, this being clearly illustrated in Figure 1.

It is to be understood that in the use of this oiler case that the pads 18' are fully saturated with a suitable oil, and after a razor blade has been used the same is posi-' tioned upon one of the pads as shown in Figure 2, and the lids allowed to close as illustrated in Figure 1, the lids of course being manipulated by the means of the. tabs 15. It may also be mentioned that ifdesired a number of blades might be covered with a film of oil and laid away for future use after they have been sharpened or the case mlght be used for storing a razor blade during the time it is used.

It may further be mentioned that by the arrangement of the pads 18 and the use of the spring 16, for urging the lids 10 and 11 together, that whenever a blade is inserted between the pads 18 that it will be thoroughly covered with oil.

The pads 18 are of such a character that upon placing a razor blade therebetween'the blade will be embedded and thus insuring a coating of oil for the razor blade.

I claim 1. A case for safety razor blades, comprising in combination, a pair of lids, one

being adapted to fit upon the other, an oil absorbin pad carried by each lid adapted to ember? a. razor blade therebetween when said lids are placed one upon the other.

2. A case for safety razor blades, comprising in combination, a pair of hingedly connected lids, an oil absorbing pad coverin the inner surface of each of said lids, sai pads being adapted to receive a razor blade therebetween and embed the same when said lids are closed one upon the other.

3. A case for safety razor blades, comprising in combination, a pair of hingedly connected lids, an oil absorbing pad covering the inner surface of each of said lids, said pads being adapted to receive a razor blade therebetween and embed the same when said lids are closed one upon the other, and means for urging said lids to close one upon the other.

4. A case for safety razor blades, comprising in combination, a pair of hingedly connected lids. an oil absorbing pad covering the inner surface of each of said lids, said pads being adapted to receive a razor blade therebetwcen and embed the same when said lids are closed one upon the other, and spring means for urging said lids to close one vupon the other.

5. A case for safety razor blades, -comprising in combination, a pair of hingedly connected lids, an oil absorbing pad covering the inner surface of each of said lids, said pads being adapted to receive a razor blade therebetween and embed the same when said lids are closed one upon the other, means for urging said lids to close one upon the other, and means formed upon the free ends of said lids adapted to facilltate the opening thereof.

ate-eases said pads being adapted to receive a razor blade therebetween and embed the same when said lids are closed one upon the other, means for urging said lids to close one upon the. other, and tabs extending from the hinged ends of said lids adapted to facilitate the opening thereof.

7. In combination, a pair of oil absorbing pads adapted to be placed one upon the other and also adapted for embedding a razor bladde therebetween, and a casing for said pa s.
