To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, Eumn E. DEPUTY, a citizen of the United Stntcs, residing at Wilmington, in the county of Newcastle and State of Delaware, have invented a new and useful Machine for Slropping Razors, of which the following is a specificati n I This invention relates to machines for stropping sharpen a razor blade and which will automatically reverse the blade upon the sharpening surface whenever the movement of said surface is reversed.

A still further object is to-provide a machine having a sharpening device formed with surfaces of different materials either of which may he used for sharpeningthe blade.

with th.-se and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings is shown the preferred In said drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device and showing a razor in position thereon prior to the rotation of the sharpening disk; Fig. 2 is a vertical section therethrough; and Fig. 3 is a section through a portion of the disk and showing one of the during the rotation of the disk.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference, 1' is the tubular body of the

device having jaws

2 and 3 extending therefrom and adapted to engage the edge of a table top or other support. A set screw 4 extends through one of the jaws for the purpose of engaging said support.- A sleeve 5 is secured, as by means of a set screw 6, to the upper portion of the body 1 and has an angular bracket 7 extending therefrom. The upstand ing portion 8 of this bracket is formed with a longitu Rotatably mounted within the body 1 is a shaft 10 having a crank arm 11 connected to the lower end thereof while the upperportion oi the shaft isiorined with a collar 12 which bears against the upper end of the body 1 and actsasan end hearing. A screw threaded stem 13 aperture 14 formed in a holding disk 15. The ends of end of shaft 10 and a holding nut 17. to one {ace of the disk 15 is a grinding or llmrpning disk" 18 of stone or other like material and a disk 19 of leathdr is secured upon the opposite face of the disk 15. By binding the holding disk 15 between the-aid ofshaft 10 -and the nut 17 the same can be caused torotate'with the shaft.

Extending through the hint 9 is threaded stem Pntaated Oct. 22, 1907.

an inturned portion 24 adapted to engage an annular shoulder 25 on the spindle soas tohold said tube against longitudinal movement. A spring clip 26 is formed at I one end of the tube 23 and is so proportioned as to embrace the back edge of a razor blade 27 and hold said blade in position above the sharpening disk and at one 66 side of the center thereof. The edge of the blade is adapted to project beyond the clip so that it can con' tact with the sharpen ng disk.

In using the device herein described the disk 15 ma first. be secured to shaft 10 with its hard sharpening s 70 been positioned in this manner the razor blade 27 is inserted into clip 26 and the shaft 10 is rotated by 1 mums of crank 11. This will cause the sleeve 23 to partly rotate and swing the blade downward on to the sharpening disk which will revolve thereunder and in contact with the blade and quickly sharpen it. By 8t) I reversing the movement of the disk the tube will be turned in the opposite dir'cction so as to swing the other face of the blade against the sharpening disk. It will 'therefore be understood that by rotating the disk'in opposite directions both faces of the blade will be au- 86 tomatimlly applied thereto. After the blade has been sutliciently sharpened the parts can be detached and the disk reversedao asui bring the leather disk 19 uppermost. lhe foregoing operation can be repeated and the razor blade will be thoroughly stroppcd. It will 90 be seen that the device is very simple, durable and cilicient and can be readily operated.

What is claimed il:

1. A device of the character described comprising i rotumble shnrpenlng element. a rotatable device trlctlonnlly emm'glng said element, and a blade recslvll cllp movablo with said device. 2. A device or the character-described comprlslng s rotatable sharpening element. In adjustable rotatable device trlctlonnlly engaging puld element, and I blade holding cllp movable wltlnlald device.

3. A devlce of the charactobdescrlbed comprising l rotumble sharpening element, '1' rotatable deylco adjustably, mounted adjacent thereto; menus for holding said device in rrlctlpnnl enxnzmcnt with said element, and a blade enga ing di 'movnm wlth um rotatable devlcc. 4. A devlce or the hlrater descrihed comprlnlng a movvable sharpening element and n movhblg; mounted blndr' holding device trlctlolull, engaging uld element and till- 110 pond to be actuated thereby to-dlnct a blade onto the sharpen! element.
