SAID CI-IAPLIN ASSIGNOR TO SAID MURPHY.
RAZOR- SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 448,159, dated March 10, 1891.
Application filed May 20, 1890. Serial No. 352,558. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, PETER D. MURPHY and CHARLES O. CHAPLIN, citizens of the United States of America, residing at Lockport, in the county of Niagara and State of.
New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Razor-Guards, of
which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying 1o drawings.
Our razor-guard is designed to protect the face from being cut during the operation of shaving, and to be used with equal facility by left-handed and right-handed persons; and it consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of the parts, substantially as hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation-of our razor- 2o guard. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same.
In the embodiment of our invention We construct our razorholder A from a single piece of metal, having slots 1) formed in one edge thereof, said holder being formed in an ap- 2 5 proximately U shape, or in shape similar to the contour of the razor to be inserted therein. The slotted edge of holder A is folded back, as shown at B, to form a guard, so that when the razor is in its holder the curved edge 0 of the latter a may project beyond the razoredge and thus prevent it from contact with the flesh and its abrasion. Thus the beard is safely removed at each movement of the razor without the slightest danger of cutting 3 5 the flesh of the person being shaved. Holder A is providid in the rear side thereof with thumb-screws c c for adjusting the bladeedge a suitable distance from the edge of the guard. The holder A is also provided with thumb or adjusting screWsD D, arranged one near each end and about midway its width for securing said holder upon the razor against lateral displacement, said screws engaging the sides of the razor. The 'holder, being of elastic metal, readily yields as press 5 ure is transmitted thereto in manipulating or actuating the screws, thus removing the outer curved edges of the holder sufficiently from the razor to prevent the abrasion of the edge of the razor, which, it is obvious, would otherwise occur by contact of the holder with said edge. The holder, it is thus apparent, is adapted to small and large razors ei her as to width or thickness.
Having fully described our invention, We claim- The razor-guard consisting of the holder formed of 'a single piece of elastic metaland having a backward-curved slotted edge, the thumb-screws arranged in its back-edge portion near the ends to engage the correspondin g surface of the razor-blade, and the th umbsorews arranged in one side of said holder near its ends to engage the opposite surface of the razor-blade about in a plane, transversely passing through the razor-blade and the aforesaid screws, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof weaffix oursignatures in presence of two witnesses.
