lCASE FOR SAFETY-RAZOR BLADES.
Application led May 12, 1924, Serial No. 712,755, and in Germany May 16, 1923.
This invention relates to ai case for safety razor blades constructed so that the paper covers hitherto usedA to protect the edges may be dispensed with, while the blades can nevertheless be easily taken outIfor use and replaced, and the used and unused blades moreover are kept clearly separate from each other.
i The case'has the shape of a boX suited to the form of the blades and it is provided with a movable plate with holders or studs on which the blades sit or hang in such a manner that the top blade requires only a slight lpush to rise 4and separate itself from the rest to such a'degree that it can be easily grasped and without danger to the edges, taken off, and after use replaced. These holders for the blades, consist of two or three tongues, studs, or pegs, attached to the said plate which pass through thel holes in the blades, and of which one at least is rounded or is in a sloping position to the plate and thereby causes the rising of the blade when pushed forward a's described above. The fact that one or more of the studs has a sloping surface or edge causes the pile of blades also to take up a sloping position longitudinally, which facilitates the grasping of the top blade whenpushed forward as above. The case and the plate for the blades can be made of various materials such as metal, wood, vulcanite, celluloid, and so on. To prevent lthe blades from slipping oil the studs when not required they may be held in position by a small spring, lever, or bolt, attached to one of the holders or to the plate.
One of the holders is however adapted to be moved to or fro, so that by this means the edge 0r edges of the blades can be pressed against one or more of the other studs, the blades being thus held in position.
To keep the used and unused blades separate from one another and to avoid confusion, the plate is provided with two or more sets of studs, so that the used and uinused blades are arranged in se )arate piles. This arrangement permits o using the blades in correct succession, whereby each blade can be given a rest.
Several embodimcntsof the invention are shown by way of example on the aecompanying drawings in vvhiehzy Fig..1 shows the case in open Fig.` 2 is a vertical section on of Fig. 1.
position. line III-IV Fig. 3 is a cross section on line I--II of Fig. 1.
Figs. 4, 5 and 6, 7 show each another form of construction.
Fig. 8 shows the closed ease.
Figs. 9 and 10`show another form of construction of the middle stud. Y
The case consists of two half-boxes of` metal or other suitable material f connected by a hinge f on whichhinge the supporting plate a. for the blades is also hingedly mounted. This plate. a is composed of two plates vof sheet metal rigidly connected with one another. Studs Z, 0, d designed to receive the razor blades e` project from either surface of plate a. The middle stud c is upwardly inclined so that the blades e in the pile placed on this middle vstud c slope correspondingly (Fig. 2), whereby the grasping and removalof the top plate from the'pile is facilitated. The studs b, c, (l
are preferably stamped out of plate a and bent intoV the required forms. bo, 0, d", designate in all figures the holes resulting from the stampingout of the studs from the plate. The inclined middle stud c instead of being tongue-shaped as shown in Figs l, 3 and 5 may be of conical shape as shown in Fig. 7. Or the middle stud c may be of U- shaped cross section as shown in Figs. 9 and 10.
The blades can be secured in their position on the studs in various ways. According to Figs. 1-3 the studs are movable so that they can be adjusted in the holes e of the` razor' blades whereby the edges ofthe holes in the blades are pressed against one of the inclined sides of the middle stud c and locked in their position as soon as the stud b is pushed in downward direction (Fig. 2 at the right), so that none of the blades can drop oil the studs. By pushing stud I; upward, towards the middle stud, all the blades are released. The arrangement is preferably made so that the lower hole of the razor blades e has slightly more play on stud I) (Fig. 1 positions of b and c indicated in dotted lines) than the central hole c' has on thc middle stud c. Vhen, in order to remove the top blade from the pile, the pile of blades is somewhat pushed inupward direction the lower edge of the middle hole on the hinge f of the case.
wardly inclined so plate separating from, the blade beneath can be easily gripped by the hand, and the blade cansbe removed from the pile. This is the same for all the other forms of construction Where the shape and arrangement of 'the studs b, c are the same in relation to the holes in the blades.
To prevent accidental opening of the case, for instance when carried in the pocket, the case is provided with a locking arrangement consisting of a springl fo on the one half of thebox and or a catch f2 on the other half` of the box. Fig. 8 shows the c ase closed and of approximately natural size.
Instead of on the two sides of plate a, the studs b, c, d for the razor blades e ma be arranged on two plates a, a (Fig. 6 connected the one with the other by a inge a. 'One of these plates a is also mounted .For use the two plates can be pulled out into one level as indicated by the dotted line in Fig. 6.
The supporting plate for the blades with thes tuds b, c, d instead of being mounted in a case, might for instance be mounted in the lid of a safetyrazor strop-case (Fig. 4). In this case the plate a is hingedly mounted on a hinge or joint a in such a manner that it can be lowered from the lid ltogether with the blades as indicated in dotted lines5 the blades being thus made ymore accessible. In the form of construction shown in Fi s. 4 and 5 the pile of blades a can be he d securely to the studs by means of a lever c. If the crank of the stropping apparatus leaves suliicient space to mountjthe pileeof lades on .the bottom plate of the apparatus the studs b, e, d might bejxed on this bottom plate.
