I -66 igure 9'is a back view of'the handle. In the drawing, in which like numerals of reference indicate'like parts in all' the figures, 1.1 represent the side plates of the holder which; are spaced'apart' for the shive or spacer member '2'Tto provide bifurcated. ends '3'and5,'1th'e former being the end towhich "the handle .is attached and being apertured'as at4' t'o receivethe snap fastener; 13 ofthe carrying chain.

The handle f9issecuredtorthe holder proper by means of? the rivet 7f whi'ch, it will" be observed, is offset from-the center line or axis of'the hold- 'er and the bifurcated pontions of the han- (116 are of less width than the width of the holder so as to expose the apertures 4=even when the-handle and holder are injlo'ngitu dinalfalignment; thus making it possible to"- align these'two parts. while the chain snap 13is in the holes 4; V The side plates 1 and; spacer. member? are also secured by a rivetB located near the. front end, this rivet '8 serving. as a stop for Qthe'cIip 1 1*anda1lso.-'has a stop for the handlemember' when itIis folded over the cutting edge of'the blade whenthe parts are in the pos tion shown in Figure '7, the handle having a blade protectingback 1'O'as shown; e v I The clip 11',fit will be observed, is'made of' thin sheetlmetal' of sufficient, temper to maintain its cross section and" exert a grip- I ping; pressure on" the bifurcated handle 7 end to causenthat endtogrip the blade with retainingi'fri'ction. v j I Aswill-beseen from an'inspection ofFigure 2, theblademay be projectedinore or less from the handle a'nd'b'lades' of"various sizestmay, also be employed.

vanced or set in any position desired Within the limits of the Walls of the holder; so
also the handle may be adjusted on its'pivot I to any of the desired angular positions within the pivotal limits of its movement. Attention is called to the fact that by my construction, a very narrow or thin holder is provided making it handier for use inmost cases than the wide and clumsy razors of this type now generally employed.
While my razor is especially adapted to hold wafer blades it is obvious thatblades of other cross sections may be employed.
The clip 11 is so formed incross section that it can be easily slipped into position as indicated in'Figure 5. Thisis done by making the back of the clip slightly wider .clip are kept smooth and polished so that than the thickness of the holder with the blade in place. With this arrangement the edge or corner of the holder may be inserted in the end of the clip and will automatically spread the clip as the 1 clip is pushed into position.
In manufacturing my device I prefer to make the holder plates 1-1 of a stiff or hard material so as to maintain a sufficient rigidity for the purpose for which the razor is designed, whilethe handle may be made of a softer materialso that it may be read ily bent into the U-form.
By my arrangement also the blade may be held in the holder during honing and stropping and by reason of the beveled edges 6 of the holder and the horseshoe shape of the clip in cross section the contact with the holder or Withthe razor strop is such as not to injure the holder or strop and as the razor is honed or stropped the entire outer surface of the blade, the adjacent bevelled surfa'cesG of the holder and the sides of the when the instrument is in use there is no danger of scratchingthe face while shavf ing for instance.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it is thought the complete construction and the advantages-of my invention Will be clear to'those skilled in the art and I desire it understood that slight changes in the details of construction may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
