To ull whom it may concern: l

Be it'known that I, Louis JEAN CHARLES As'ronors,

i a citii/,on of the ltepublieof France, residing at Le Parc St.-Maur, France, have invented new and useful Improvenients in or Relating to Safety-Razors, of which the following is a specification. i

This invention relates to ian1 designed to occupy a very small amount of space when mounted ready for use, so that for the purpose of placing it in its case it is not necessary to disconnect any of its parts. l

One of the principal advantages of the invention lies in the fact that it allows'offusing an unperforated razor blade, which is held securely in position. quite inde-y pendently of its thickness and width, so that if desired a piece of ribbon-steel may be used, .which may be as highly-tempered as practicable. The inclination of the blade with-regard to that Vportion of the razor which comes into contact with the face is fixed, so that the blade is always at the proper angle. `The blade may be sharpenedan indefinite number of times without causing any inconvenience whatever on account of the reduction of thickness produced thereby. Moreover, the blade maybe sharpened at both sides, that is to say may have two cutting edges. That portion oi the instrument which serves as lthe handle is soshaped that it can be very conveniently held in Various positions according to requirements, more particularly by pressits edges.

The invention is illustrated in the annexed drawing by means of an example, Figure 1 beinga cross-section on the line A-B of Fig.` 2,v Fig. 2 an elevation illustrating the manner in which the instrument is held when the edges of the handle are gripped by the operator, Fig. 3 an elevation showing the front and rear faces of the handle gripped by th'e operator, and Fig.

, 4 a plan view of the body or frame. l

` 10,the handle 11, and the`seat 12 for the blad elli.

The body of the' instrument consists of a suitably bent I plate, portions of which form the teeth or comb7 The blade 13 is held in position by means of a plato 14 by which it is, clamped to' its seat with the aidoia milled nut 15 and a screw 16 engaging the said plate 14. The `screw,16 passes through a slot 17 provided in the seat 12 at the side opposite the teeth 10.

A portion of the handle 11 adjacent the part 12 is cut away toA allow oi fastening and unfastening the nut l5. Another portion or portions of the handle may be cut away to reduce the weight ofthe instrument.`

The seat 12 to which the blade 13 and plate 14 are applied is provided with lateral flanges -19 which guide the .parts 13 and 14 and determine the position thereof on the seat. The edgesl of these iiangos adjacent thev towards the teeth.

The angle oi the teeth 10 with regard. to the seat 12 is` .such that when the teeth are placed flat against the part to be'- shavedk the blade is at an angle suitable for It will be seen that the instrument is oi small bulk and that the only disconnection which. the user may find it necessary to make consists in unfastening the plate, 14 for the purpose oi cleansing,v sharpening or changing the blade.

The possibility of holding the razor ins different ways greatly facilitates the employment thereof. The handle 11 may be grasped by placing the fingers mtle Tateral recesses thereof (Fig, 2) or by holding the curved part opposite the seat 12 and blade 13.

The flanges'19 prevent the'risk of cutting owing to eircessive forward movement of the blade towards the to the said seat, the other portions oi the attachments being the flanges.

'Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed declare that what I claim forward adjustment of the blade. l

2. A safety razor comprising n combination, a plate of metal bent to form a hiadesent, a'face guard, and a handle. n blade, a blade holder, centraliyidiliposed means enraging said holder to'an'chor the bladeupon said seat. and holding portions engagingl the ends of', said blade and holder to maintain the sarde infnlined relation upon and with respect to the seat, said holding `poitions projecting inwardly at their forward ends tolmit-irward adjustment ofthe blade.

3. A safety razorcomprising in combination, a plate of metal bent toformii blade sent, a face guard, and :i han' die, a blade, ablade holder, centrally disposed means en gazing said holder to anchor the blade upon said seat, and adjustable holding portions engaging the ends of said blade and helder to maintain the same-in alined relation Aupon and with respect to the seat, said holding portions projecting inwardly attlreif forward ends to limit fon ward adjustment of the blade.

4,. A safety razor comprising:l in combination, a plate of metal bent to form a blade seat-:1nd a face guai-d, a binde,

n blade holder, means engaging said holder to anchor the blade upon the seat, und adjustable holding portions bent inwardly at their forward ends for limiting forward adjustmentof the blade. y

v5. `A safety razor consisting of a blade seat, a handle, n binde, and adjustable means engaging said binde on its ends to hold' the same in aiinement with the blade seat and engaging said blade on its cnutting edgeto limit forward adjustment of thevblade.

(i. A safety azor comprising in combination, u blade seat, a blade, centrally disposed means for holding said blade upon its seat; and adjustable means engaging said blade on two distinct marginal portions thereof to hold i ting margin to maintain the blade in alinement with its Bouza snid blade in alinevment upon its seatand limit forward adjustment of.' the blade.

. 7. A safety razor `colxxprlsing in combination, u blade seat, a blade, means for holding said-blade upon itssetlt, and means engaging said blade on its ends andon its cutseat and to limit forward adjustment of the blade.

In testimony whereof I have aiixed'my signature,l `in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
