May 31, 1955 J. VIZZA RAZOR BLADE HOLDER Filed June 10, 1954 l.\ EX] OR Joseph 3a ATTC] RN EYE RAZOR BLADE HOLDER Joseph Vizza, Belle Vernon, Pa.
Application June 10, 1954, Serial No. 435,692
2 Claims. (Cl. 30-125) This invention relates to a razor blade holder, and more particularly to a razor blade holder for holding both new and used razor blades.
The object of the invention is to provide a razor blade holder which includes a compartment for holding new double edged razor blades, there being a separate compartment for holding used double edged razor blades whereby the cutting edge of one of the used blades can be extended out a side of the holder to be used for cutting various articles such as cardboard, scraping paint or the like.
Another object of the invention is to provide a razor blade holder which will conveniently hold new and used blades, there being a means provided for filling the two compartments with razor blades and there is also provided a means whereby the blades can be readily removed from their respective compartments.
A further object of the invention is to provide a razor blade holder which is extremely simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course or the following description.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, and in which like numerals are used to designate like parts throughout the same:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the razor blade holder, constructed according to the present invention, and showing one of the used blades held partially out or extended so that it can be used for cutting cardboard or the like.
Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3--3 of Figure 2.
Referring in detail to the drawings, the numeral designates a base which can be made of any suitable material, and the base 10 includes a bottom wall 13 and upstanding side walls 11 and 12 which may be curved slightly, Figure 3. There is further provided a support member 14 which can be made of any suitable material such as plastic, and the ends of the support member 14 are spaced from the ends of the base 10 to provide openings 16 and 17 whereby the new double edged razor blades 15 can be manually ejected through the openings 16 and 17. It will be seen from Figure 2 of the drawings that the new blades 15 are stacked in alternate relationship with respect to each other so that in ejecting the new blades 15 one blade is first moved outwardly through the opening 16, and the next blade is moved out through the opening 17 while the next blade is again moved out through the opening 16 and so forth. An opening 19 is arranged in the bottom wall 13, and the opening 19 is surrounded by an inwardly extending flange 20. Thus, the user can readily insert his finger or fingers through the opening 19 in order to apply sufiicient manual pressure on the blades 15 to cause their ejection through the opening 16 or 17. Spring members 21 are positioned below the new blades 15 for urging the blades 15 upwardly so that they can be readily ejected manually from the holder. The compartment for the new blades 15 is indicated generally by the numeral 18, and this compartment 18 is defined between a pair of side members 22 which are formed integral with or secured to the support member 14, the side members 22 being arranged contiguous to the side Walls 11 and 12 of the base 10.
The support member 14 is further provided with an intermediate downwardly recessed portion 23 which defines a second compartment 24 for holding the used razor blades 25. Spring members 26 are provided for normally urging the used blades 25 upwardly. Extending across the support member 14 is a plate 28 which includes longitudinally extending ears 29 on its side edges. The cars 29 of the plate 28 are engaged by inwardly extending downturned lips 27 so that the plate 28 is clamped in place and cannot accidentally Work loose. The plate 28 is further provided with a pair of openings or cutouts 30, Figure 1, whereby the user can insert his fingers into engagement with the uppermost used blade 25 to move the blade partially out of the compartment 24 to the position shown in Figure 1 or Figure 3 so that the cutting edge of the blade will be available for cutting various articles. A space 32 is provided at one end of the plate 28, while a similar space or opening 33 is provided at the other end of the plate 28, and these spaces 32 and 33 permit a supply of used blades 25 to be inserted into the upper compartment 24 when the used blades are to be replenished or replaced.
Slidably mounted in the support member 14 is a plurality of pins 34 which each have an annular stop member 35 on their lower end for limiting upward movement of these pins. A head 36 is mounted on the upper end of each of the pins 34, and the upper surface of each of the heads 36 is inclined or beveled as at 37. Bars or strips 38 interconnect the heads 36 together, and a coil spring 39 is interposed on the center pin 34 for normally urging the parts to the position shown in Figure 2.
From the foregoing it is apparent that there has been provided a razor blade holder which will hold both new and used blades. The new blades 15 are inserted into the compartment 13. When it is desired to remove one of the new blades 15 as during shaving or the like, the user merely inserts his finger through the opening 19 so that the blades 15 can be moved through the opening 16 or 17. After the blades have become too dull to use for shaving, the blades can be removed from the razor and inserted endwise through the space 32 or 33 into the compartment 24 and the pins 34 project up through the compartment 24. When it is desired to partially extend one of the used blades 25, the user merely places his fingers through the openings 30 and moves the uppermost blade 25 to the position shown in Figure 1 or 3, so that the pins 34 extend through the openings 40 in the blade whereby further movement of the projecting blade will be prevented until the pins 34 are depressed against the tension of the coil spring 39.
With one of the used blades 25 extended partially out of the holder, there is provided a safe grip for the used blade so that the used blade can be used for cutting any desired article. The bars 38 interconnect the pins 34 together so that all of the pins move in unison. When one of the used blades 25 becomes completely worn out, then the pins 34 are depressed so that the blade can be slid all the way out of the holder across the inclined upper surfaces 37 of the heads 36. In the event that the used blade becomes broken during use, the pins can be pushed down and the broken blade discarded. The projecting used blade can be used for cutting tops off of cardboard boxes, scraping materials off of glass, trimming wood and the like. When the blade 25 reaches the position shown in Figure 1 or 3, the heads 36 project upwardly through the openings 46 in the blade to hold the blade immobile, and then the used blade will not accidentally move out or back into the holder, until the pins are manually depressed. The spring members 26 under the used blades 25 urge the used blades upwardly so that they will be always ready to be pushed out of the sides of the blade holder through the opening 30.
