To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, John Deasey, of Fall River, of the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Razors; and I do hereby declare the same to be described in the following specification and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which—
My invention consists in the combination of a double-edged razor-blade having a shank provided with stops or projections and recesses, as hereinafter set forth, with two folding guards or handles pivoted separately to the shank, so as to fold upon and receive the double-edged blade, as hereinafter explained.
In my improved razor the blade
The guards, when closed upon the blade, take positions relatively to it and each other, as shown in
The guards, on being closed upon the blade, answer as shields to its cutting-edges, and to prevent the blade from accidentally cutting or damaging a person or his pocket when the razor may be therein. Besides, when one of the guards is closed on the blade and the other guard is turned down into an obtuse angle to the shank and against the lower end of the first-named guard, as shown in
I claim—
As a new manufacture, the razor-blade
