Specification of Letters Patent.
patented. april" as.v mov.
Application nea :runt 25,1905. seria ne. 266,964'.
.To all whom it may concern: Beit known that I, HENRIE CLAUss, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fremont, inthe county of Sandusky, State of and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to razors, and is applicable more particularly to razors of the' safety type.
The invention consists i-n the peculiar construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully set forth and pointed out particul arly in the claims,
` The primary object of the invention is t produce a razor blade of flat and compara"- tively 'thin steel which may be cheaply con- `structed and which is provided with a strengthening back of comparatively inexv 'pensive material which stiifens the flat blade so as to render'it practicable for use and which enables the blade to be honed and stropped the same as ordinary razor blades, obviating the 'necessity of throwing the blade away after it has become dull or returning it to the manufacturerfor Shar ening,'as is necessary in the use of the thin flexible blades on the market.
A further object is to produce a blade of the character described in the'manufacture of which the operation of grinding and polishing is reduced to the minimum, thereby materially reducing the cost of construction.
A further object' is .to reduce a thin and fiat blade which may be 'e ieaply constructed and which is of such a character as to enable it to be used in any of the common types of safety razors, the blade being of a formation which enables the user to hone and strop it, if he so desires. l
A further object is to produce a blade which may be ground and polished with the grain of the steel instead of across the grain, as is common.
The above objects are attained by the structure illustrated in the v accompanying drawings, in which l Figure l is an end elevation cfa safety razor and blade involving my invention.
'function performed by said back is to add Fig. 2 isa central transverse section therethrough. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the blade detached from the-razor. Fig. l is a plan view of the blade. Fig. 5 is an end elevation ofthe blade.
Referring' to the' characters of reference, l Y
designates the blade proper which is made from at steel of the requisite Width and thickness, and which is provided with a rounded back 2 suitably channeled to receive the rear edge ofthe bladeV which is firmly clamped therein. The material of'whch the back is formed may be of chea quality, thereby reducing the cost of the b ade. The
the requisite strength and rigidity to the thin, fiat blade and to raise the rear edge of the blade sufliciently,` when placed in a safety razor frame or holder, to cause the cutting edge 3 thereof to lie firmly upon the teeth 4 of the comb or guard, as shown in Figsu l, and 2, thereby supporting the edge of the blade and enabling the-blade to be used in any of the ordinary safety razors.
When the blade is in position in a safety razor', the back rests upon the blade-supportingplate 5, While the edge of the blade is held in contact with the guard by. means of the side clamps 6 which bear upon the margins of the blade at the'ends, as is common in safety razors of this type. To hold the blade in position, the back thereof is engaged by a vertically movable confining spring 7 adapted to be actuated through the medium of the attached handle 8.
It will be seen that a blade formed of a thin, flat piece of steel as herein shown, may be cheaply constructed because of the fact that no grinding and polishing is required thereon except at the extreme edge where the blade is ground on opposite sides lengthwise with the grain instead ,of across the grain as in the grinding of blades made from a thick piece of steel. lt will also be underl stood that the presence of the strengthening rib at the back holds the blade from springing and renders it sufficiently rigid to be used in any of the ordinary safety razors, and at the same time enables the blade to be honed and stropped'in the same manner as are the safety razor blades in ordinary use. lt will also be understood that by making a safety` razor blade as herein shown, `a great saving is made in the cost of material and in the labor required to prepare the blade for'use.

Havin thus fully set forth my invention,
what I e aim as new and desire to secure by Letters PatentJ is The combination with ablade holder having a blade su portin surface, and a guard at its forwar end, o a lblade consistin of a thin, flat piece of steel of uniform thickness ground at its cutting edge on opposite sides, and a strengthening back of greater transverse diameter than the blade in which the rearv edge of the blade is seated, the back of the blade adapted to rest upon the supiElorting plate and raise the front thereof sf'- ciently to cause the cutting edge of the blade to lie closely upon the guard and a sring mounted on the holder and enga ing t
