BRACE FOR RAZORS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 414,547, dated November 5, 1889. Application filed July 26, 1889. Seriali No. 318,760. (Model.)
T0 all whom t may concern:
Be it known that we, FREDERICK KAMPEE, RICHARD KAMPFE, and OTTO KAMPEE, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, citizens of the United States, have invented certain new and useful Iniprovements in Braces for Razors, of which the following is a speci lication.
Razor-blades are usually hinged quite loosely to the handle, and it is very diiiicult to hold the razor-blade while stropping the razor in such a position that at all times the axis of the blade will be at right angles to the axis of the strop, which position of the blade 1s necessary to produce a perfect, true, and keen edge.
The obj ect of our invention is to provide a new and improved brace or spring which can be applied on all kinds or styles of ordinary razors, and serves for holding the blade rigidly when swung out to project from the end of the handle.
The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts and details, as will be fully described hereinafter, and finally be pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of an ordinary razor open and provided with our improved razor-brace. Fig. 2 is a detail side view of our improved razorbrace, and Fig. 3 is an end view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Our improved razor-brace consists of a piece of spring-wire which is bent atA, as shown, to give it greater spring-tension, and a short distancefrom its lower end is bent outward about at right angles and curved to form the handle-lug B, and at the inner end of said handlelug it is bent down to forni the lug C, at the upper end of which the shoulder D is formed. The wire is then carried upward to form the prong E, on the top end of which the laterally-projecting hook or lug F is formed. TheV inner edge of the wireA is flattened near the upper end, as shown at a, so as to adapt it to rest snugly against the tang G of the razorblade H, which is pivoted between the two handle-sections J in the usual manner. That part of the brace a short distance below the hook F is 'tiatteneth as shown in Figs. 2 and 3,
whereby the spring-tension of the entire device is increased and passing the lower end of the device through between the handlesections is facilitated, these handle-sections being quite close to each other at their lower ends.
The device is used in the following manner: The blade is swung out to be in line with the handle, as shown in Fig. l, and then the upper end of the brace is passed through between the handle-sections in such a manner that the hook F rests on the inner edge of one handle-section, and the inner edge of the upper part of the wire A rests against the back of the tang G. The lower part of the prong E projects from the inner edge of the handle, v
and by pressing on the shoulder part D the handle-lug E is proj ected suiciently from the outer edge of the handle to permit of seizing said handle-lug. By pulling on said handlelug E the lower part of the device is drawn toward the outer edge of the handle until the inner edge of the lug G projects clearly beyond said outer edge of the handle, and then the entire device is moved downward until the inner edge of the lug C is adjacent to the outer edge of the iilling-piece inserted between the lower ends of the raZor-blade-handle sections, as shown in Fig. 1. By the springtension in the device the upper end of the wire Ais pressed against the back of the tang and also against the curved prong M at the lower end of the tang, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The hook F rests against the inner edge of the razor-handle and the lug C rests against the bottom iilling-piece of the razorhandle. in line with the razor-han dle, and when stropping can at all times be held at right angles to the axis of the strop. As the spring-wire A bears against two points of the blade, it prevents the same swinging either toward the right or left. Y
The device can easily be removed by press ing upward on the lower end of the lug C 0r handle-lug E until the lower end of said lug C clears the upper edge of the iilling-piece at the bottom of the razor-handle, when'thede- Vice snaps outward and can be removed at once.
Our improved brace can be used `for wide Thereby the blade H is held rigidly IOO or narrow razors, with thick or thin blades, and with handles of any shape and construction. AIt is entirely out of the Way and does not interfere While stropping` or honing the blade. v
Our device also serves for holding the blade and handle in line When stropping the blader f spring held in the handle and bearing on the blade, substantially as set forth.
2. The combinatiomwith a razor-handle and a blade pivoted to the same, of a detachable spring bearing on the front and rear edges of the handle and against the rear edges of the blade, substantially as set forth.
A detachable brace for razor-handles, consisting of a spring-metal piece having a lug at the bottom to bear against the bottom filling-piece of the razor-handle, and a projection to bear against the front or inner edge ofthe handle, and an extension to bear against the back of the raLor-blade, substantially as set forth.
` 4. A detachable brace for razors, consisting of a piece of spring metal bent to forni at its lower end a handle-lug, a lug below said handle-lug, an upwardly-projecting shank having a projection at its upper end, and an upward extension to bear against the back of the razor-blade, substantially as set forth.
5. A brace for razors, composed of a piece of spring metal bent to forni the top part, a handle-lug B, lug C, prong E, and hook F, that part of the brace a short distance belowT the hook F being flattened, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention We have signed our names in presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
