DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
_ _ Referring ln detail to the drawings, the reference numeral 10 desig-nates a slide connected to an elongated support 11 terminating at one end in a flexible yoke or yoke portion 12 and terminating at the opposite end in a stem or stem portion 13 with the yoke-stem junction indicated by the reference numeral 15.
The yoke 12 includes flexible plastic arms 14 and 16 each formed with a stub shaft 17 - 18. The arms have sufficient resilience and "memory" to flex to and fro (as shown by the arrows of Fig. 1) in well known fashion to receive pivotally and retain releasably a blade car-tridge 19 in that stub shafts 17 and 18 are received in mating bearings or bore holes formed in transverse ribs 20 and 25 of cartridge 19.
The arms 14 and 16 are each formed with a cam follower 21 and 22 defining a loop or an aperture. Each follower 21 - 22 is driven by a mating cam 23 - 24 depending from slide 10 (see Figs. 2, 5, 6 and 7) to fle~ the arms 14 and 16 and thus move stub shafts 17 and 18 away from one another as a result of slide action which becomes more apparent as : this specification proceeds.
The yoke-stem junction 15 of the elongated support 11 is formed with a pair of slots 26-27 defining tracks for guiding slide 10 as the slide moves relative to the support to effect spreading of the arms 14 - 16.
The yoke-stem j~nction is also formed with a rib 28 which cooperates with spaced abutments 29 and 31 (see Fig. 3) to limit the stroke of ~ovable slide 10.
..
Shoulder 32 provides a bearing surface for a leaf spring 33 tflrst spring element) depending from slide 10 to provide Lhe mzin power source to return slide 10 from the second or "open" position (cartridge-receiving position) to the first or normal position (cartridge-retaining position).
Referring to the underside of the slide 10, best observed in Fig. 7, the slide is further formed with two projections or protuberances 34 - 36 each terminating in a claw 37 - 38.
As is most apparent in Fig. 4, the projections 34 - 36 are received in mating slots 26 - 27 effective to guide or track the %lide 10 during its motion relative the elongated support 11. The claws 37 and 38 engage mating lips 39 - 41 on the outer periphery of tracks 26 - 27 to latch the slide 10 to the elongated support 11 so that the slide is permanently connected to the support but free to be moved manually or otherwise in sliding fashion relative to the support.
The latching connection is possible because during assembly of the slide 10 to the eloDgated support 11 the slide is placed in register with the stem-yoke ~unction 15 with the protuberances 34 and 36 poised to enter mating slots 26 and 27.
With the slide and the elongated support so positioned, the slide is pressed into contact with the support and as the claws 37 - 38 progress down ramps 42 and 43 the protuberances or pro~ectlons 34 and 36 flex inwardly. Pressing continues until the claws reach the bottwm of ra~ps 42 and 43 whereupon the claws, by virtue of the "memory" inherent in the projections 34 and 36, snap o~twardly overlapping lips 39 and 41 to latch the slide to the support to make the permanent slidin~ connection referred to previously.
As stated earlier, the slide is also formed with cams 23 and 24 5 which engage followers 21 and ~2 to drive or spread yoke arms 14 and 16.
The tendency for the yokes to return to the closed position provides auxiliary power, through cams 23 - 24 and mating followers 21 and 22, to return the slide to the normal or first position.
The slide 10 is also formed with an additional ~additional to leaf spring 33) or second spring element identified generally by the reference numeral 44 in Fig. 6 (the preferred embodiment) and by the reference numeral 46 in Fi~. ~3 (an alternative embodiment).
The second spring element 44 comprises a pair of opposed, resilient ~-shaped members 47 - 48 including aligning means taking the form of 15 flaring fingers 49 and 51 cast integral with members 47 - 48.
The L-shaped members 47 and 48 terminate at their free ends in cam followers 52 and 53. The followers 52 and 53 engage and bear resiliently upon cam 54 carried by blade cartridge 19 (see Fig. l) to bias the pivotally mounted cartridge toward a preferred attitude relati~e to elongated support 11 in a manner and for a purpose which is well known.
The flared fingers 49 and 51, referred to in the claims as an aligning means, function to lnsure centering the yoke relative to the cartridge in that the flared fingers 49 and 51 straddle the cam 54 ~nd "home" the yoke into the cartridge.
3"3 An alternative embodiment of the second spring element is shown in Fig. 8 indicated by the reference numeral 46. In this arrangement, slide 10 includes a single L-shaped member 56 terminating in a single cam follower 57 which operates to engage cam 54 in the same manner and for the same reason as described in connection with second spring ele-ment 44.
The operation of the shaving instrument occurs as follows:
Assume that the slide 10 is in the normal or first position with the yoke empty (solid line position of Fig. 3~. The slide is held in this position ~ainly by leaf spring 33 with auxiliary force provided by the resilience of the yoke in that the arms 14 and 16 are purposely held under light restraint, i.e., held with a tendency or a "desire" to flex further inwardly. That is, the design of the instrument is such that when the slide is in the first or normal position as shown in Fig. 3, the arms 14 and 16 are not fully relaxed and thus apply auxiliary pressure upon the slide 10, through followers 21 and 22 and cams 23 and 24, further urging the abutment 29 into contact with rib 28.
By manually depressing tab 55, the slide is moved to the second position and the yoke arms 14 and 16 are spread in condition to receive a blade cartridge in well known fashion.
In the case of the preferred slide struc~ure indicated by reference numeral 44 in Fig. 6, the flared fingers 49 and 51 facilitate centering the yoke relative to the blade car~ridge.
33~3 After contact is made with blade cartridge, release of the tab 55 permits the yoke to grasp the blade cartridge (stub shafts 17 and 18 engage mating bore holes in transverse ribs 20 and 25 - Fig. 1) and the leaf spring 33, the residual spring action of the yoke arms 14 and 16 plus the spring action of the second spring element 44 or 46, as the case may be, coact to hold the cartridge releasably and pivotally with the main holding forces originating in the first spring elemen~ or leaf spring 33.
It is anticipated that a wide variety of modifications may be de-vised as engineering and production considerations require, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
~he yoke to receive said blade cartridge and spring means forming a single piece-part in combination with the slide element operable to return said slide element to said first position to permit the yoke to flex inwardly to retain releasably a cartridge received in the yoke.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
_ _ Referring ln detail to the drawings, the reference numeral 10 desig-nates a slide connected to an elongated support 11 terminating at one end in a flexible yoke or yoke portion 12 and terminating at the opposite end in a stem or stem portion 13 with the yoke-stem junction indicated by the reference numeral 15.
The yoke 12 includes flexible plastic arms 14 and 16 each formed with a stub shaft 17 - 18.

The arms 14 and 16 are each formed with a cam follower 21 and 22 defining a loop or an aperture. Each follower 21 - 22 is driven by a mating cam 23 - 24 depending from slide 10 (see Figs. 2, 5, 6 and 7) to fle~ the arms 14 and 16 and thus move stub shafts 17 and 18 away from one another as a result of slide action which becomes more apparent as : this specification proceeds.
The yoke-stem junction 15 of the elongated support 11 is formed with a pair of slots 26-27 defining tracks for guiding slide 10 as the slide moves relative to the support to effect spreading of the arms 14 - 16.
The yoke-stem j~nction is also formed with a rib 28 which cooperates with spaced abutments 29 and 31 (see Fig. 3) to limit the stroke of ~ovable slide 10.

Referring to the underside of the slide 10, best observed in Fig. 7, the slide is further formed with two projections or protuberances 34 - 36 each terminating in a claw 37 - 38.
As is most apparent in Fig. 4, the projections 34 - 36 are received in mating slots 26 - 27 effective to guide or track the %lide 10 during its motion relative the elongated support 11. The claws 37 and 38 engage mating lips 39 - 41 on the outer periphery of tracks 26 - 27 to latch the slide 10 to the elongated support 11 so that the slide is permanently connected to the support but free to be moved manually or otherwise in sliding fashion relative to the support.

As stated earlier, the slide is also formed with cams 23 and 24 5 which engage followers 21 and ~2 to drive or spread yoke arms 14 and 16.
The tendency for the yokes to return to the closed position provides auxiliary power, through cams 23 - 24 and mating followers 21 and 22, to return the slide to the normal or first position.
The slide 10 is also formed with an additional ~additional to leaf spring 33) or second spring element identified generally by the reference numeral 44 in Fig. 6 (the preferred embodiment) and by the reference numeral 46 in Fi~. ~3 (an alternative embodiment).
The second spring element 44 comprises a pair of opposed, resilient ~-shaped members 47 - 48 including aligning means taking the form of 15 flaring fingers 49 and 51 cast integral with members 47 - 48.
The L-shaped members 47 and 48 terminate at their free ends in cam followers 52 and 53. The followers 52 and 53 engage and bear resiliently upon cam 54 carried by blade cartridge 19 (see Fig. l) to bias the pivotally mounted cartridge toward a preferred attitude relati~e to elongated support 11 in a manner and for a purpose which is well known.
The flared fingers 49 and 51, referred to in the claims as an aligning means, function to lnsure centering the yoke relative to the cartridge in that the flared fingers 49 and 51 straddle the cam 54 ~nd "home" the yoke into the cartridge.
3"3 An alternative embodiment of the second spring element is shown in Fig. 8 indicated by the reference numeral 46. In this arrangement, slide 10 includes a single L-shaped member 56 terminating in a single cam follower 57 which operates to engage cam 54 in the same manner and for the same reason as described in connection with second spring ele-ment 44.
The operation of the shaving instrument occurs as follows:
Assume that the slide 10 is in the normal or first position with the yoke empty (solid line position of Fig. 3~. The slide is held in this position ~ainly by leaf spring 33 with auxiliary force provided by the resilience of the yoke in that the arms 14 and 16 are purposely held under light restraint, i.e., held with a tendency or a "desire" to flex further inwardly.

By manually depressing tab 55, the slide is moved to the second position and the yoke arms 14 and 16 are spread in condition to receive a blade cartridge in well known fashion.
In the case of the preferred slide struc~ure indicated by reference numeral 44 in Fig. 6, the flared fingers 49 and 51 facilitate centering the yoke relative to the blade car~ridge.
33~3 After contact is made with blade cartridge, release of the tab 55 permits the yoke to grasp the blade cartridge (stub shafts 17 and 18 engage mating bore holes in transverse ribs 20 and 25 - Fig. 1) and the leaf spring 33, the residual spring action of the yoke arms 14 and 16 plus the spring action of the second spring element 44 or 46, as the case may be, coact to hold the cartridge releasably and pivotally with the main holding forces originating in the first spring elemen~ or leaf spring 33.
It is anticipated that a wide variety of modifications may be de-vised as engineering and production considerations require, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
