RAZOR COMPACT.

Application filed. February 2, 1926. Serial No. 85,556.

This invention relates to a shaving outfit, the object of the invention being to arrange the razor, brush and soap in a single container which is made somewhat in the form of a fountain pen, so that the outfit can be easily carried in a pocket or the like of the user.

Another object of the invention is to make the blade adjustable on its handle so that it can be moved to the most convenient position in shaving the face or the neck.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed outin the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through the device, with the parts in closed position. I Figure 2 is a section on line 33 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a view with the caps removed and showing the razor in folded position in 1full lines and two other positions in dotted mes.

Fi re 4. is a view of the blade supporting mem r.

In these views, 1 indicates the body of the device which is of tubular construction and is provided with an extension 2 of substan-' tially semi-circular form, with its extremity formed with the flat prongs 3 to receive the square part 4 of the blade holder 5 between them. This part is pivotally held between the prongs by the pin 6.. The part 5 is of theusual or any desired shape to receive a double-edge blade'6 which is held thereon by the clamping member 7 and the set screw 8, these parts being also of the type now on the market or any other desired shape. A spring lever 9 is fastened in the extension 2 and has its free end extending between the prongs 3 to engage the flat edges of the part 4. This arrangement is somewhat like that of a penknife and the edges of part 4 are so formed that the spring lever will hold the leg supporting member 5 in folded position, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, in an inclined position, as shown at A in dotted lines in Figure 3, or in a straight osition, as shown at B in dotted lines in igure 3. The position A is desirable in shaving the face, while the position B is desirable for shaving the neck. As will be seen, when the blade supporting member is in folded position, it will lie against the extension 2 so that a tubular cap 10 can be placed over the parts to enclose the same, as shown in Figure 1. This cap is provided with female threads to engage the male threads 11 on the cylindrical part of the body 1. The outer end of the cap has a threaded socket to receive the threaded head of a brush 12 for applying lather to the face before shaving and this brush is enclosed by the cap 13 which frictionally engages a part of the-cap 10. A ring 14 is adapted to hold the bristles of the brush close together when the brush is not in use, this ring being pushed down against the end of the cap 10 when the brush is to be used.

The outer end of the body 1 is provided A spring holder 20 may be attached to the cap 10 to hold the entire device in the pocket.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that the razor, brush and soap are compactly ar: ranged in a container which may be carried in the pocket of the user. By removing the caps 13 and 19 and projecting the soap 16, lather can be applied to the face in the usual manner and then the cap 10 is removed and the blade supporting member swung outwardly to shaving position. Then the face can be shaved and if itis desired to shave the neck, the supporting member is moved to a straight position, as shown at B in Figure 3 and the neck shaved. After shaving, the set screw 8 is removed to dissemble the blade holding means so that the parts can be cleaned and then the parts are replaced and the blade holder swung into its closed position, as shown in Figure 1. The caps are then put back and then the device may be replaced in the pocket.

While the device is mainly designed for traveling men and to be carried in the pocket, it will, of course, be understood that it can be used by anyone and can be carried in a suitcase or the like.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A razor outfit, comprising a body having an extension at one end thereof, said extension terminating in a pair of prongs, a blade holder having a portion extending between said prongs, a pivot pin passing through the prongs and said portion, a spring lever carried by the extension and having its free end engaging said portion,

said portion having flattened side edges engaged by the spring lever for holding the blade holder in either folded position, in an angular position or in a straight position.

2. A razor outfit, comprising a body having an extension at one end thereof terminating in a pair of prongs, a blade holder having a substantially rectangular shank fitting between the prongs and pivoted thereto, a spring lever carried by the extension and having its free end engaging the flat edges of the shank, means for detachably fastening a blade to the holder, a cap threaded to the body for enclosing the extension and the blade holder when the holder. is in folded position.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature.

VICTOR 1R. PAYTQN.
