useful Improvements in Safety-Razors, of

which the following is a'specification.

This invention relates'to'improvements in safety razors and the object of the invention said teeth act is to construct a device that may be easily and rapidly secured to an ordinary pocket comb in such manner that it will hold a razor blade in close proximity to the comb teeth,

as a guard therefor;

A further ob ect is to provide a simple means for stropping or honing the blades.

The invention consists in the parts and improvements hereinafter described and set forth in the appended claims.

Fi ure 1 is a side elevation of a comb with my 1 evice attached thereto; 2 is a side elevation of the reverse side of the comb, with the device in position; Fig. 3 is a top edge view; Fig. 4 shows the blade holder in end view; and Fig. 5 is a detail'view of the blade.

The numeral 1 designates a pocket hair comb of ordinary construction and 2 my improved blade holder. This holder is made of a single piece of sheet metal and is formed with two legs 3, each of which has its extremit bent to form a hook 4. The body'of the holder is slotted at 5 so as to permitthe proper resiliency for the upper arm 6 which is centrally located and is also formed with a hook 7 at its extremity. Two lugs 8 are pressed from the body, one near each end, and set at ri ht angles to the body. The blade 9 is of t in sheet steel and has a notch 10 in either end, near the edge opposite the lon itudinal cutting edge thereof.

0 assemble the parts, the blade is placed in the holder with t e lugs 8'engaging the depressions 1O ;-the comb 1S placed against the mside of the holder with the extremit of its teeth resting on the hooks 4 and the liooked end 7 of the upper arm is snap ed over the back or bod of the comb. his will securely hold t e device in place, as the lugs 8, while engaging the blade, will each enter a space between two of the comb teeth and prevent any longitudinal movement of the lade in the holder as well as an longitudinal movement of the holder on the comb.

It is evident that the device may be setime of Lettori Batont. Patented April 2'7, 1909. Application mm June a, 100... Serial no. 437,410.

' 1 cured to the comb at any point along its surface and that it maybe secured to either side thereof, thus facilitating its use as a razor with either hand.

In the top edge of the comb I form-a slot 11 and at one. end of this slot .1 place a pin 12 passing through the body of the comb. Near the opposite end of the slot, perforate the body, asindicated at '13 and in close proximit. thereto I secure to the body of the com a-spring plate 14 by means of a pivot pin 15. he free end of this plate is formed with a tooth 16, pressed therefrom and adapted to enter said perforation. The

plate is given a set so that it will normally eep the tooth 16 in the perforation. When the blade is to be honed or stropped it is placed in the slot with the cutting ed e pro- .truding (dotted lines Fig. 1) and the epression 10 at. one end will engage the pin 12 while the depression at the opposite end will be engaged by the tooth 16 on the spring plate 14 and it will thus be securely held therein.

- It is evident that my blade holder may be secured to any ordinary pocket comb of the proper width as the lugs 8 will always enter one of the s aces between the comb teeth. Its adaptab' ity' to either right or left hand shaving is. evident as is also the quick assembling of the arts.

Having thus ully described my invention what I claim is 1. A safety razor and blade strolpping device comprising a comb having a nal slot in its upper edge and a perforation therein, a spring plate formed Wltll a tooth secured to said comb in such manner that its tooth will lie normally in said erforation, a removable blade holder ada te to snap over the edges of said comb an a cutting blade held between said holder and comb.

- 2. In a razor, the combination of a comb, a clamping piece rovided with hooked arms which engage hot 1 the edges of the comb and a flat blade inserted between the two, the

hooked extension upon its lower edge, capa' ongitudiamping piece and, hooked main portion of the clamp due 'to the strain of clamping is prevented;

5. A razor comprising a clamping piece for securing a notched flat blade to; the comb,

comprising means for attaching the clamp to the toothed edge'of the the comb and a" lug paesing through the notches in the blade and between the teeth of the comb to prevent lateral movement between the clamp and the comb.

, 6, .A razor com rising a comb, a notched fiat blade, and a c amping piece for Securing the blade to the comb provided with means for attaching the clamp to the comb, and

means to engage the notched blade.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature, in presence of twowitnesses,

ELLSWORTH' 1'). BECKER.
