To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Joseph Turner, a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety-Razors, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention has for its object to provide a safety-razor of such construction that the blade may be conveniently inserted into or removed from its frame or holder and which will also permit the blade to be adjustably secured in said frame or holder, so that the cutting edge of the blade may be brought into proper position relative to the guard-comb. To this end the frame or blade-holder is provided with a sliding blade-retainer, preferably comprising two spring-arms, which when the said blade-retainer is in one position will rest upon the back edge of the blade to secure it in place in its holding-clips, but which when shifted to another position permits the blade to be readily inserted or removed from the frame or holder. The blade when in working position is held against the front face, of the frame or holder by two clips, which are capable of slight adjustment to bring the edge of the blade into proper position relative to the guard-comb, but which may be adjusted to compensate for wear of the blade.
In the accompanying drawings,
Referring to the drawings,
The portion of the frame or blade-holder
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent—
1. In a safety-razor, the combination with a frame or holder provided with a guard and with means for holding the blade in proper position relative to said guard, of a sliding blade-retainer mounted on the said frame or holder and comprising the plate
2. In a safety-razor, the combination with the frame or holder
3. In a safety-razor the combination with the frame a provided with a guard-comb
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
Joseph Turner.
