BLADE HOLDER Filed Feb. 18, 1929 Patented May 6, 1930 JOSEPH A. SEYMOUR, OF FABYANS, NEW HAMYSHIBE BLADE HOLDER Application filed February 18, 1928. Serial No. 341,008.

This invention relates to a blade holder, the general object of the invention being to provide means whereby blades of safety razors and the like can be' placed in the holder so .5 as to provide a cutting implement.

Another object of the invention is to so 'form the device that either double ed ed blades or single edged blades can be used w th the device. a

This invention also consists in certain other "features of construction and in the combina-.

tion and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanyingdraw- 'ing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective viewof the device, showing a single edged blade therein.

Figure 2 is a'section on line 2-2 ofFigmade in the construction and in the combinaure 1.

. Figure 3 is lon itudinal sectional view showing a double etfged blade used with the device.

Figure 4 is 'a sectional view showing a double edged blade used with the device.

Figure 5 is a view of the U-shaped member used with a double edged blade. In these views, the numeral 1 indicates the handle of the device and 2 the blade holding,

part. The handle is of tubular construction,

5 with portions of the metal flattened to provide the holding part 2. One edge of the holder part is rounded, as at 3, and a stri 4 i of wood or the like is placed in this roun ed part. The two parts 2 of the holder part 2 are spaced apart a sufiicient distance to receive a blade 5 between them and these portions are formed with ofi'set parts 2 where they connect with the rounded part 3 to receive the thickened part 5' of a single edged blade, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The blade is pushed into the holder part from the end thereof.

Whenadouble edged blade,such as shown at 6 in Figure 4 is used, a substantially U shapedstrip 7 is placed over that edge of the blade and the member blade not being used will engage the wooden part 4 which acts to prevent ulling of the edge by coming in contact with a metal part. After one edge has become dull through-use, the blade can be reversed and the new edge brought into use.

From the foregoing it will be seen that I have provided a simple form of holder in which the blades can be easily and quickly placed and removed and one in which the blades are firmly held."=

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

It is to be understood that changes may be adjacent the tubular part and a narrow blade receiving space between those portions of the flat parts which are not offset, a strip of soft material in the tubular part and a 'U- shaped blade holding member removably fitting in the wide space and having its ends bent to form loops to engage the outer ends of the fiat parts.

In testimony whereof I aflix my si ature. I JOSEPH A. 'SEYM
