Description
May 19, 1936. D. E. LEAHY RAZOR BLADE HOLDER Filed May 18, 1955 INVENTOR. DEIYNIEL E. LEFIHY TTO NEY Patented May 19, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in razor blade holders.
The principal object is to produce a holder for razor blades, whereby the same may be effectively sharpened on an ordinary strop and to provide means for increasing the sharpening effect of the strop.
A further object is to produce a device which is simple to manipulate, readily portable and convenient to use,
Another object is to produce a device which is economical to manufacture.
A still further object is to produce a device which is neat in appearance and one which will therefore meet with a ready sale.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,
Fig. I is a top plan View of my holder,
Fig. II is a side elevation of Fig. I,
Fig. III is a cross sectional view on the line 3-3 of Fig. II,
Fig. IV is an enlarged detail cross sectional view on the line 44 of Fig. II,
Fig. V is a top plan view of a modified form of strop finisher, and
Fig. VI illustrates the manner in which the blade is inserted in the holder.
Many persons employ what is commonly known as a safety razor for shaving purposes. These razors, in most instances, employ a thin blade which loses its cutting edge after a. few shaves and is then usually discarded. Applicant has devised a holder whereby these thin blades may be passed over a strop so as to re-sharpen the same and has further provided means connected to the holder for placing a finish on the strop so as to increase its sharpening eifect.
In the accompanying drawing wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 designates a handle as a whole, which is preferably formed of two sections as best illustrated in Fig. II, at 6 and I and which may be secured together in any convenient manner. Formed integral with these handle sections are plates 8 and 9, respectively. These plates lie parallel and are held in alignment substantially midway of their length by bent lugs II and I2. The free ends of these plates are slotted as shown at I3 and a sliding clamp I4 is. held thereon through the medium of a pin l6 which slides in the slot I3.
A portion of each of the plates is cut away as shown at II, the purpose of which will be later seen. Secured to the handle 5 is an alloy plate i8 having depressions l 9 formed upon its surface.
The result of the construction thus far de- 5 scribed is that, when the clamp I4 is moved to the dotted line position of Fig. I, or the full line position of Fig. VI, the heel of a blade A may be placed in one of the depressions l1 and slid between the plates 8 and 9 into the dotted 10 line position of Fig. VI. This brings the squared end B of the blade between the lugs H and I2. The clamp is then moved to the full line position of Fig. I and the edges thereof engage the notches in the end 6 of the blade, while the pin l6 bears 15 against the end 6 and also serves to force the blade into proper position between the lugs H and I2. When the blade is so positioned in the holder the same may be moved over a strop in a manner similar to that employed with the 20 ordinary old-fashioned type of razor and in order to place upon the strop a proper sharpening surface, the handle is rubbed over the strop in such a manner that the alloy plate I8 contacts the strop and places thereon a metallic coating which 25 becomes embedded in the pores of the strop and increases its sharpening effect.
In the modified form shown in Fig. V the alloy plate i8 is shown secured to a separate holder 20 which may be readily slipped over the handle 30 or over the plates 8 and 9. When a blade, having a backing strip, is used, the backing strip lies within the offset portions 2| and 22 of the plates 8 and 9, respectively. Thus my holder may be used for substantially any type of safety razor blade.
It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes relative to the material, size, shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim: 5
1. In a device of the character described, a handle, plates secured to said handle, a slot formed through the ends of said plates, a clamping member slidable on the ends of said plates,
a pin extending through said clamping member 50 and through said slots to limit the movement of said clamp, and lugs carried by said plates at a point remote from said clamp, whereby a razor blade positioned between said plates will be held against endwise movement.
2. In a device of the character described, a handle having a pair of plates secured thereto, means for holding said plates in alignment, one with the other, said means including a pair of lugs extending between said plates, a slider secured to the free end of said plates, a pin extending through said slider, and through a slot formed in said plates whereby said slider will be held on said plates, the ends of said slider and said lugs cooperating to engage the ends of a blade positioned between said plates.
