Definitions
- This invention relates to safety razors and lncludes a novel blade constructlon which functions 1n a unlque and very efiectlve manner to secure the blade inshaving relation with appropriate blade holding and guarding means which is itself also novel.
- the objects of'the invention are, rovide a shaving edge which may, very rap- 1dly and with extreme convenience, be renm dered ready for safeshaving use, and, second, to make the design and construction of blade and auxiliary means conducive to economic and-precise manufacture.
- the new and additional properties of my improved blade may be secured without any manufacturing operations additional to or basicly different from those commonly employed in safety razor blade construction.
- the handle is formed of the usual tubular and die-cast members and is secured to the blade receiving head preferably by riveting.
- This head may be produced, complete, by
- FIGs. 1, 2 and 3 are, respectively, top, bottom and side views of the blade and holder the necessarily precise relation of the several members of the head is established by with normally hidden portions of the blade indicated in dotted lines,
- Fig. 4 is a rear view showing a partial section on line H of Fig. 1
- Fig. .5 is a front view of the combination shown in the preceding views
- Fig. 6 is a plan view of the blade
- Fig. T is, an end yiew of the blade.
- Fig. 8 represents diagrammatically the tension action of the blade in the holder, the essential parts merely being indicated, and in broken section.
- FIG. 6 The embodiment of my blade which so far I have found to be the most satisfactory and eflicient is illustrated for example in Fig. 6.
- This has abody portion or blade proper 11 provided with a forward cutting edge 12 and one or more tension members integral therewith, which in the illustrated embodiment are spring tongues 13, 13 at either side of the body portion or blade proper and which may be spaced therefrom as indicated at 14, and extend from the back toward the cutting edge as shown.
- the slenderness of the tongues 1313 and the resulting relatively small resistance of their mass compared to that of the body portion 11 makes possible the independent flexure of the tongues transversely of the blade without material flexure of the body portion of the blade.
- This quality of the tongues 13-13 allows them forcibly to be flexed out of their normal plane which is that.
- the blade holder has a head and a handle preferably riveted together as shown.
- the integrally formed head is provided with an upper wall 15, the end walls 2020 and the end walls 23-23, a front wall 18 constituting a comb guard, and the lower handle receiving flange 21.
- the front edge of the top wall 15 is spaced from the top of the comb guard 18 by the slot 22 and shoulders 17-17 are formed at each end of the top wall 15 joining the respective end walls 2020 with the respective end walls 22-22.
- shoulders 1717 form inclined slideways or cam surfaces upon which ride the tongues 1313 of the blade when it is inserted.
- the length of the body portion 11 of the blade is accommodated, with a slight clearance, between the inner faces of the end walls 2020 and these end walls serve both as guides for the insertion of the blade and as stops to limit its endwise movement when inserted.
- the blade is inserted by first placing the forward part of the body portion 11 against the inner face of the to wall 15 and then sliding the blade forward until the rearward limits of the recesses 14-44 engage the rear edges of the end walls 20-20.
- This action forces the tongues 1313 up on the inclined slideways 17-17 to the position shown clearly in Fig. 3 and Fig. 8.
- the flexure and resulting tension thus produced in the tongues 1313 has two important mechanical results: It removably secures the blade in shaving position and against accident disen "a ement and it forces up the front of the b y portion 11 of the blade tight against the front part of the inner face of the top wall 15 of the holder.
- the depressed portions 1616 of the top wall 15 act as fulcrums for the essentially lever action.
- the blade is withdrawn from the holder by grasping the blade at the rear where the top wall 15 has been indented to provide a thumb-hold.
- the action either of inserting or withdrawing the blade is, obviously, instantaneous.
- a safety razor blade having a front cutting edge and a rear blunt edge, and tongues relatively narrow in proportion to their length, extending from said rear edge toward said front edge outside the body portion of the blade.
- a safety razor blade having a body portion with a front cutting edge, a rear blunt edge and opposed end edges, and portions spaced from said body portion extending from said rear edge toward said front edgelparallel to said end edges.
- safety razor blade having a body portion with a front cutting edge, a rear blunt edge and opposed end edges, and having narrow projections joined to said bod portion adjacent said rear edge and'exten ing perpendicularly toward said cutting edge, the mass and hence the resistance to flexure of said projections being much less than that of said body portion.
- a safety razor blade having a body portion presenting a cutting edge, and resilient tongues at the 'ends of said body portion and extending toward said cutting edge with their front ends relatively movable in respect to the body portion of the blade in a direction substantially at rlght angles to the plane of the blade. 7
- a safety razor blade comprising a body portion with a cutting ed e and at each side of the body portion a flexi le tongue lntegral with the body portion and extending toward the cutting edge.
- a safety razor blade comprising a body portion having a. cutting ed e and at each side of and outside of the body portion a flexible tongue extending toward the cutting edge, and a holder therefor provided with a seat for the blade and means adapted to engage and flex sa1d tongues and thereby cause said blade to be held upon the seat.
- a safety razor blade holder having a blade seat onto which may be -slidesidewise' a razor blade which has a-body'portion provided with a cutting edge'and at each side I of and outside of the body portion a flexible .tongue extending toward the cutting edge,
- said holder also comprising at each side a slidewayjadapted to engage the tongues of the blade and flex them automatically when the blade is slid sidewise onto the seat and therebycause them to hold the blade upon the seat.
