ELECTRIC RAZOR CLEANER AND HOLDER Filed Aug. 10, 1937 wym ATTORNEY.
Patented Dec. 26, 1939 TATENT OFFICE ELECTRIC RAZOR CLEANER AND HOLDER Clarence E. Key,
Los Angeles, Calif.
Application August 10, 153%, serial No. 158310 3 Claims.
This invention relates to an electric razor cleaner and holder and has for its objects a device adapted to support an electric razor when the latter is not in use for shaving, and which device is provided with brushes or cleaning elements arranged and adapted to thoroughly clean the razor head of dirt, out hair, etc., that normally become lodged in the head during shaving. Other objects and advantages will appear in the description and drawing annexed hereto.
In the drawing,
Fig. l is a front elevational view of my device showing a razor supported thereon.
Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of my device taken along the line 2-2 of Fig. l, the razor being omitted.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of my device, with the razor head illustrated in operative position for cleaning the cutting elements thereof.
In detail,,my invention comprises a fiat vertically extending supporting back piece I formed with an opening 2 in the upper end thereof for hanging the back piece from a hook or the like, the lower end of the back piece supporting an 25 upwardly inclined shelf or ledge 3 projecting forwardly from the back piece. The ledge 3 is formed centrally of its horizontal length with a substantially circular recess l for supporting the handle 5 of an electric razor therein. A narrow 30 slot 6 extends through the forward edge of the ledge from the recess to permit passing the electric cord 1 of the razor therethrough upon positioning the razor on the ledge with its lower end extending into the recess.
In many conventional electric razors, no means is provided for stopping the motor and actuation of the parts other than by pulling the conventional plugat the end of the cord 1 opposite the razor from its seat in a socket type wall plug or the like. With my holder as above described, when the operator Wishes to discontinue shaving for a short time, he merely passes the razor laterally and downwardly to seating position in the recess 4 of the holder, without disconnecting the cord from the wall plug, and the razor is firmly supported in the recess against dislodgment, due to the vibration thereof, by reason of the inclinedupper surface of the ledge which inclines from the forward edge thereof toward the back piece, and also by reason of the circular form of the recess that substantially embraces the razor head.
The ledge 3 may be integrally formed with the back piece I or may be formed on the lower end of a separate, vertically extending flat member 8,
which member may be secured with its flat side opposite the ledge against the lower half of the back piece by pins 9 or screws or any other suitable means.
Secured to the back piece I above the member 8 are a pair of parallel, vertically extending brushes Ill disposed with their bristles ll facing toward each other, and with the free ends of the bristles spaced apart.
Between the spaced ends of the bristles II I provide a third vertically extending brush l2, preferably of the type having its bristles disposed in radially extending position around a central support l3. This brush may be of the conventional type in which a pair of wires form the central support l3, which wires are twisted together with the bristles secured between the twisted wires, and the lower end of said support is secured in the upwardly facing edge of member 8 or in any other suitable manner for supporting said brush l2 between the bristle ends of brushes III.
In operation, the operator may quickly and efiiciently-clean the razor head I5 on its outer sides and between the teeth It on the shear plate extending across the outer end of said head, as well as within the through channel l8 below the shear plate and cutter by merely sliding the head downwardly between the bristles H with the brush l2 passing into and through the channel I8 of the razor head, as best indicated in Fig. 3. By moving the head up and down and by swinging the handle laterally around brush 12 the axis of rotation, the head of the razor including the shear plate, and cutter, are thoroughly cleaned both within the channel l8 and outside the head.
It is, of course, obvious that the back I and member 8 with the ledge 3 can be molded in one piece from any suitable moldable composition, such as hard rubber or phenol condensate or the like, and the portion of the. brushes Ill holding the bristles may be of the same material with the bristles molded therein. The arrangement of brushes suitable for accomplishing the result of cleaning the razor head in the manner .described, is, however, believed to be new, as is the provision of a device of the character described having a holder for supporting the razor when the same is not in use.
Having described my invention, I claim:
1. A device of the character described comprising a pair of elongated brushes positioned side by side in spaced relation and having bristles on their opposed sides extending toward each other and a central elongated brush disposed in the space between the opposed ends of said bristles and longitudinally of said pair of brushes, said central brush having bristles thereon projecting outwardly from all sides thereof, means supporting said central brush at one of its ends with its opposite end being free for sliding the tubular head of an electric razor over the central brush longitudinally thereof and between the said pair of brushes for cleaning the inner and outer sides of such head upon reciprocation of the head longitudinally of said central brush, said means including a member rigid therewith extending alongside said pair of brushes closing one side of the space between said brushes thereby forming the bottom of a channel the sides of which consist of the bristles of said pair of brushes and said pair of brushes being secured to said member.
2. In a construction as defined in claim 1, said member extending past the free ends of said brushes for vertical suspension from the end so extended.
3. In a construction as defined in claim 1, the free end of said central brush terminating at a point between the bristles of the pair of brushes and spaced from the free ends of said pair of brushes thereby providing an unobstructed space between the bristles of said pair of brushes adjacent their free ends for passage of the tubular head of an electric razor in said space to a position over and onto said central brush upon movement of said head between said pair of brushes longitudinally thereof and toward said central brush.
