Application September 21, 1953, Serial No. 381,408
1 Claim. (CI. 30-30) The main object of my invention is to provide a hair trimmer which can make use of most every safety-razor blade now in public use: thus, flexible double edged blades, rigid blades, single edge blades, wide or narrow blades, long or short blades, thin blades, and blades made of heavier gauge steel. With my invention no special made blades are required, but people can make use of any and every blade they may have on hand. Another object of my invention is to provide, as it were, a hair trimmer, combination comb and blade-holding clip, where all the four end-sides of said comb can be employed, thus making the task of hair trimming, hair cutting and shaving efiortless and convenient, and, at the same time, achieving quicker and better results, for people can thus bring either hand into use.
In reference to the accompanying drawings of my invention Fig. 1 shows a front view of my invention fully assembled; comb, clip, and also including a safety-razor blade. Fig. 2 shows an enlarged cross-section of said comb of my invention showing the shape of the teeth of said comb. Fig. 3 shows an enlarged cross-section of said comb including a cut-off portion of a shorter, rear part of the tension clip of my invention, and also showing a portion of a blade-holding looped spring of my invention and its position between said teeth when assembled. Fig. 4 shows a perspective and rear view of said tension clip of my invention. Fig. 5 shows the upper part of said clip on its inner, left side, its features and the parts it incorporates. Fig. 6 shows an enlarged view of bladecheck means and the screw-cap which is part thereof. Fig. 7 shows one of the blade receiving loop springs of my invention as it holds a portion of a narrow blade. Fig. 8 shows an enlarged view of said blade-check means positioned through a slot in said upper part of said tension clip of my invention, wherein it is held by said screw cap and thus slides up or down through said slot, as desired. Fig. 9 shows an enlarged view of the semitubular, raised channels and their position on the upper part of said clip.
To proceed with the details of my invention, in Fig. 1, number 1, indicates the projecting, tapered point in the center of a solid, back of said comb of my invention which serves to provide a tight grip on said comb when grasped between the fingers of either hand when manipulating said hair trimmer at either side of said comb. 2 indicates the straight, solid back at the two ends of said comb, thus especially fashioned to provide even and equal spacing so said tension clip might be moved farther up said comb when making use of longer safety-razor blades. 3 indicates the lower parts of said comb teeth; these are fashioned with straight ribs, instead of the conventional beveled ribs. Thus said safety-razor blades can have a flush contact with said teeth and slide evenly, up or down, when a shorter or longer hair trim is wanted. 4 indicates the inverted grooves positioned horizontally along the sides of said comb teeth, and it is in these grooves that a sharp, bent edge of said shorter and rear part of said tension clip enters into and thus holds and keeps said clip and blade in a fixed position until moved. 5 indicates the upper and longer part of said clip and the positionof the parts and features it incorporates. 6 indicates the rear part of said clip; 7 indicates the pierced flaps of said clip parts; 8 indicates the pivot-rod means positioned through said flaps thus holding said two clip parts together; 9 indicates the razor bladeany razor blade-as it is clamped to the comb teeth on this right side of my invention. It will be noticed that said blade is protruding a substantial distance from the edge-of said upper part of said clip along its cutting edge.
2,700,213 Patented Jan. 25, 1955 10 indicates the vertical, pierced slot through the center of the upper part of said clip and through which the sliding blade check means is positioned. The screw cap 11 is shown in its proper place as the lower portion of said check means retains said blade in its place. This being a wide blade the blade-check means is higher up. 12 indicates the protruding ends of the looped blade receiving springs and their position between said comb teeth showing how they are slidingly held as said tension clip of my invention is moved up or down; 13 indicates the semitubular relief channels where said looped blade receiving springs are positioned and mechanically fastened and held in a fixed manner; 17 indicates part of the stem-ends of said springs, while 18 indicates the end of a tension spring braced in the corner of said rear part of said clip. In Fig. 2, the cross-section of the comb teeth is given in enlarged detail. In Fig. 3, 15 indicates the sharp, bent edge of said shorter, rear part of said clip as it engages said grooves in said comb teeth thus keeping said clip and blade in a fixed position-clamped to said comb of my invention-until moved. 16 indicates the rounded head of said looped springs and their position between said teeth of said comb as they are held and slide up, or down, as desired; 17 indicates part of said stem of said looped spring. In Fig. 4, A-18 indicates the center portion of a tension spring which can be made use of in said clip of my invention. This figure also shows the difierence in the length of the two parts of said clip, and the position of said blade receiving looped springs as they extend appreciably beyond said clamping end of said upper part of said clip. Here, too, it might be fitting to explain that, the shorter part of said clip is thus fashioned to permit the exposure of said comb teeth on this rear side of said clip so they may have a combing contact with the hair to be cut, trimmed or shaved. This last mentioned task can be easily performed by simply moving said clip down so that the razor-blade edge extends somewhat beyond said tip ends of said comb teeth. In Fig. 5, 19 indicates the cross-bar of said blade-check means, of my invention, positioned through and athwart said slot of said upper part of said clip; 20 indicates (through said slot) part of the vertical member of said check means. Fig. 5 also shows how the blade is positioned and held in said looped springs, and how said cross-bar of said blade-check means holds said blade in place. Fig. 6 presents an enlarged view of said blade-check means and its screw cap. 21 indicates the threaded mouth at the base of said screw cap, while 20 indicates the vertical member of said check means, extending from said bottom cross-bar member of said check means, Fig. 6 also shows the sides and the threaded ends of said vertical member which engage said screw cap of my invention. Fig. 7 shows an enlarged view of said blade receiving looped spring holding a narrow blade. Fig. 8 is a detailed view of said blade-check means positioned through said slot 10 of said upper part of said clip. In Fig. 9, 14 indicates the side holes in said channels where said looped springs are inserted and mechanically fastened.
Having described my invention I claim:
In a hair trimmer comb and blade-holding tension clip combination; a comb having a straight solid back parallel with the ends of the teeth of said comb, said back rising into a tapered point in the center of said comb, said teeth of said comb having grooves along the two sides of said comb, said teeth being coarsely spaced along one end, and closer set along the other end of said comb, a tension clip comprising two clamping parts, one part being considerably longer than the other part of said clip, the shorter part of said clip having its horizontal clamping edge sharp and bent inward on a substantially right angle, said longer part of said clip having a cut-out slot at its longitudinal center, said longer part of said clip I vertical member having threaded sides rvhich receive said 892,679 Owens July 7, 1908 screw cap means. 1,357,222 Chadwmk q" Nov. 2, 1920.
