SHAVING GUIDE Filed March 15, 1946 INVENTOR. .JUEIEF'H H EUHEN HTTOK/VEV Patented May 1, 1951 UNITED STATES ram OFFICE.
2 Claims.
This invention relates to shaving and more particularly to means for trimming mens sideburns.
Broadly the invention comprehends means for use with electric shavers for accurately trimming mens sideburns.
Although various devices have been manufactured for use with or as associated components of electric shavers for the trimming of mens sideburns, they have either been ineffectual in use or costly of manufacture with the result that the provision of suitable means for accomplishing said purpose has never been made. The instant invention is directed at accomplishing this purpose.
An object of the invention is the provision of means for use with electric shavers for simply and accurately trimming mens sideburns.
Another object of the invention is the provision of guide means for use with electric shavers for neatly and accurately trimming mens sideburns.
A further object of the invention is the provision of guide means placeable upon the face for properly guiding an electric shaver in the operation of trimming mens sideburns.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of means having a concave tapered guiding edge for use with electric shavers for easily, neatly, and accurately trimming mens sideburns.
A yet further object of the invention is the provision of a hair trimming guide which is simple of construction and use, inexpensive to manufacture, and highly efficient in its use.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the drawings forming a part of the specification, and in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a'shaving guide;
Fig. 2 is a front plan view of the shaving guide; and
Fig. 3 is an end View of Fig. 2 showing an electric shaver in use therewith.
Most users of electric shavers experience difficulty in accurately trimming or cutting sideburns for lack of proper means, and accordingly the instant invention was devised as a simple efficient means for remedying this condition.
The shaving guide defined by this invention is premised upon providing a properly contoured member-over which the cutting blades of an electric shaver may smoothly pass so as to accurately and effectively cut mens sideburns. -;In,.the use of the shaving guide it is only necessary that the guide be held upon the side of the facaso as to allow the shaver to glide across the end of the guide and upon the face thus cutting the hair protruding beyond the end of the guide.
Referring to the drawings for more specific details of the invention, it represents generally a shaving guide of metal, plastic, or other substantially stiff material comprising a thin central body 12, an angular portion 14 providing suitable holding means for the guide, and a concave tapered portion [6 on one side of the body 12, the edge 18 of which is preferably adapted to be made perpendicular to the side of body l2. The tapered portion l6 of the guide as viewed in Fig. 3 follows a large arcuate path as having a radius designated R.
In the use of the guide 10 the body portion 12 is placed upon the side of the face to be shaved adjacent the forehead with the curved portion l6 disposed away from the face with edge 18.
in proper cutting position such that the edge will define the line the sideburn will follow after the shaver is used. With the guide in position and one hand grasping portion [4 thereof, the electric shaver 22 to be used in connection therewith is moved over the arcuate path 20 as shown by Fig. 1 such that as the shaver passes beyond the edge [8 of the guide it contacts the face and any superfluous hair protruding beyond the end of the guide will be quickly shaved leaving the hair with a sharp, neat line defining the trimmed condition of the sideburn.
Considering the simplicity of the shaving guide here shown and described, it can readily be realized how cheaply and easily it can be manufactured either by stamping out of metal with the concave portion as a part thereof or as the result of subsequent grinding thereof, or A it can be molded from suitable plastic materials.
While this invention has been described in connection with certain specific embodiments, the principle involved is susceptible of numerous other applications that will readily occur to persons skilled in the art. The invention, therefore, is limited only as indicated by the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is:
1. A shaving guide for use with electric shavers, for trimming the ends of mens sideburns, constructed of flat thin material of substantially uniform thickness having a flat body portion adapted to be placed adjacent a mans forehead, means integral with and angularly disposed to the body for holding the guide in shaving position, and a concave ,tapered imperforate portion formed on one end of the body oppositely disposed from the holding means, said tapered portion extending over only a small portion of the body portion.
2. A sideburn end cutting guide comprising a substantially thin uniform thickness, solid, nonflexible body having holding means at one end and at its other end having a substantially fiat face adapted to be placed upon the sideburn, and a concave tapered face opposite from the flat face terminating conjointly with the flat face in a substantially straight sharp edge extending across the full width of the guide, said concave face occupying-the rectangular section constituting a small area of the fiat portion of the body.
