UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOI-IN HOLTZMAN, 0F NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR. OF ONE-HALF TO ALFRED KRAFFT, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
SAFETY RAZOR.
Application filed April 18, 1922. Serial No. 555,483.
To 077 yu'lo/n, 'it 12mg/ concern.'
Bc it known that I, J oHN HoL'rzMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and usecontainer for the safety razor.
One object of the invention is to simplify the construction of the holding means for the blade and the means for adjusting the razor on a fixed guard.
Another object of the invention is the provisional means for reciprocating the razor blade transversely over the stropping means.
Another object is the adaption of the safety razor to a stropping means in a container that serves also as a permanent box or container for the safe-keeping of the razor.
Other objects and improvements will 'be apparent in the following description of the invention which is illustrated in connection with the attached drawings in which:
Figurel is a longitudinal and cross-sectional View of the preferred form of my invention.
Figure 2 is a cross-section taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a cross-section taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1, and
Figure 4 is a fragmentary side view of the invention as shown in Figure 1.
Referring now`to Figures 1 to 4, the frame and safety guide plate 1, consists of the angular projections 2 and 3. the central portion 4 and the safety guard portion 5, having slots 6 at the guiding edge to form prongs 7 as is usual in safety razors of this type. This frame is riveted to the bracket 8.
" to which is secured a hollow handle 9. In-
side the frame 1 is secured the auxiliary holding frame 10 having the upright portions 11 and 12 and the central portion 13, to which is secured, by means of a screw 14, adjusting rod 15, that lprojects through the hollow handle 9 and which is screwthreaded in the lower end of the handle 9 as shown at 16, and provided with a knob 17. The purpose of this rod will be hereinafter described.
Between the upright portions 11 and l2 are secured the blade holding member 20, to which is secured the blade 21. rl`he blade holder is rotatably mounted on the shaft 22, journalled in portions 11 and 12 and to which is secured also a gear 24, which is meshing with a gear 25 mounted on a shaft 26 also 'ournalled in portions 11 and 12. .On th1s shaft 26 is mounted the sleeve 27, having a slot 28, meshing` with a ca-m 29 on the member 20. Between the members 11 and 12 is also secured the rollers 30 and 31 mounted on corresponding shafts 32 and 33.
a The blade seat or guide members 35 consists of the main portion 36 slidably mounted betweenthe bracket 8 and frame 4 and provided with hooked projections 37 and 38 that serve to hold the blade in operating position against the guard 5. To this seat 1s attached a sprin 40 bearing against the upturned edge 41 o the guard 5.
Ihe adjusting of the blade in proper position for shaving so that the edge of the blade is in the proper relation to the prongs 7 and held securely by means of the projections 37 and 38 will now be described. The blade is pressed down in the position shown in Figure 4, first by pressing the member 36 towards the right against the tension of spring 40 until the edge of the blade rests on the prongs 7 and then rc leased so that the hooks on the projections 37 and 38 grip the outer edges of the blade; then the knob 17 is turned to the right orleft to raise or lower the frame 10, which action adjusts the blade holder up or down. 'lhc result of this action is that the edge of the blade, while held firmly against the prongs 7, will be adjustedto the desired distance from the outer edge of the prongs to meet the requirements of the user. Thus it will be seen that a very close adjustment of the edge-of the blade in relation to the prongs can be secured by merely the turning of the knob 17. This adjustment is one of the features forming an important part of my invention.
When it is desired to strop the blade it is simply placed as shown in Figure 1 and the strop 43 is inserted below the roller 27 and above the rollers 30 and 31 as shown in Figure 1. The movement of the razor forth and back over the strop will now rotate the roller 27 and through the gears 25 and 2l and rotate or place opposite edges of the blade alternately in contact with the strop in a well known manner. My invention however provides means for reciprocating the blade transversely over the strop to secure an even and sharp edge on the blade. This reciprocating movement of the blade is secured by the rotation of the roller 27, by means of the diagonal slot 28 engaging the cam 29. The cam 29 is of such a shape and length that it is constantly in contact with the slot no matter which side. of the blade is in contact with the strop.
Thus I have here an automatic safety razor that combines several useful in'lprovements, namely a means for adjusting the edgeof the blade against the stationary guard that can not therefore be disturbed or moved out of its adjusted position in relation to-the blade during the shaving operation; in combination with means for stropping the blade in such a lnanner as to compensate for any unevenness in the strop itself or in the edge of the blade and thereby securing a most eticient shaving tool embodying the improved principles of perfect adjustment of the blade and the securing of the smooth and sharp edge under all eireumstances.
