RAZOR SHARPENER Original Filed Feb. 5, 1919 Patented Dec. 25, 1923.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JESSE L. PEACOCK AND FREDERICK SAYLES, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNORS TO PEACOCK MANUFACTURING COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.
RAZOR SHARPENER.
Application filed February 3. 1919, Serial No. 274,710. Renewed July 9, 1923.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, JEssE L. PEAoooK and FREDERICK SAYLES, citizens of the United States, and residents of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of 11- linois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Razor Sharpeners, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention relates to improvements in razor sharpeners, and has for its object the provision of an improved construction of this character especially adapted for renewing the shaving edges of safety razor blades.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which- Fig. 1, is a perspective view of a razor sharpener embodying the invention,
Fig. 2, an end view of the same,
Fig. 3, a side view of the same, and
Fig. l, an end view illustrating the sharpener in position of use.
The preferred form of constrution, as illustrated in the drawings, comprises a spring clip 5 made of sheet steel and having jaws or leaves 6 diverging therefrom. The jaws 6 are recessed at 7, adjacent their free ends, and sections of razor strop or similar material are secured therein by means of glue or other adhesive. The recesses 7, and consequently the strop sections 8 are transversely concentrically curved from their inner edges outwardly, as indicated.
In use the sharpener is held in one hand between the thumb and fingers thereof and a razor blade held in the other hand inserted between the strop section 8, which are then brought into snug engagement with this will cause a flexing of the blade, so that when said blade is drawn from between said strop sections, the outer edge thereof will be yieldingly pressed against the outer strep section.
At the next application the position of the blade is reversed thus applying the strop to the other side of the edge. The curvature of the strop sections is of course constant and the degree of flexing of the blade caused thereby will also be constant, so that the cutting edge of the blade will always be applied to the strop at a constant angle thus tending to preserve the proper angle of the edge and insuring uniform stropping on both sides. A few applications will be found to put a very keen and smooth edge on a' safety razor blade. Obviously, the device is also adapted for sharpening other forms of blades or other forms of cutting instruments.
\Vhile we have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying our invention into elfect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. We, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail ourselves of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claim.
Having described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A razor sharpener comprising two opposed spring-held concentrically curved sharpening members arranged to be brought into close proximity to each other, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JESSE L. PEACOCK. FREDERICK SAYLES.
