HAIR-CUTTING DEVICE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 23, 1909.

Application filed March 26, 1908. -Serial No. 423,347.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTONIO LANCEL- LOT'IE, citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hair Cutting Devices, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to attachments for hair cutting, and the ob'ect thereof is to provide a device which \vili render hair cutting, or more particularly the trimming of the a s a u 1 hair, a simple and easy operation, and which will enable such operation to be more satisfactorily accomplished.

My invention resides broadly in the )rovision of unimproved hair trimming device consisting of a razor and a frame for holding the same, embodying a toothed blade having means for clasping the razor in connection therewith and against its teeth in order to cut the ragged ends of the hair projecting between the teeth, as the same are drawn through the hair, and improved means for adjusting the razor upon said toothed blade in order to vary the cut of the same.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure] is an elevation illustrating the practical application of my improved hair trimming device. Fig. 2 is a central vertical cross-sectional view taken through my improved hair cutting device. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the tooth holding blade, and Fig. 4 is an elevation of the ad'usting blade.

In t e practical embodiment of my inven tion, I provide a plate 5, having its lower longitudinal edge provided with a series of teeth 6, and provided with its upperlongitudinal edge cut away, said upper edge having a pair of integral pieces 7, bent back thereon to form slpring cli is and being provided with a centra upstan ing tongue 8, bent to an obtuse angle with relation to the plane of the plate 5, and provided with a central threaded opening therein. Mounted through the said opening in the extension 8, is an externally and internall threaded tubular nut locked centra ly through said opening by nuts 10, secured thereon, above and below said extension 8 and bearing thereagainst.

A second plate 11, shown in Fig. 4, is formed of spring sheet metal, as is the plate 5, said )late 11 having end wings 12 bent from its ody portion to form s ring clips for engaggment about the back e ge of a razor blade and said plate 11 further having a central upwardly extending tongue 13 provided with an angular extension having a central 0 ening therein. The plate 11 constitutes a c amping and adjusting plate for the razor blade B of the ordinary razor embodying also a handle A to which the blade B is swingingly connected.

After having the clamping and adjusting palate 11 inserted thereupon, the razor blade is adapted to be placed upon the toothed plate 5 and within and under the spring cli s thereof, and so positioned thereon that t e opening through the extension tongue 13 is in alinement beneath the tubular nut 9. An adjusting screw 14, is ada ted for threaded engagement through the tu )ular nut 9 and is provided with a central longitudinal bore 11 on its inner end, adapted for the reception o a screw 15, previously projected loosely and upwardly through the opening in the said extension tongue 13 with its headed end below said tongue. It will thus be seen that the razor blade B is clamped by the plate 11 to rovide for its adjustment upon the toot ed plate D, while held in position upon said plate with its sharpened edge against the teeth 6 thereof by means of the spring clips 7. The adjustment of the blade B is accomplished by rotating the adjusting screw 14, which upon one rotation will he forced downwardly upon the extension tongue 13, and upon rotation in the op ositc direction, will draw the same upwar y by means of the head ed screw 15, carried thereby.

llaving described In invention, 1 claim:

1. In a hair-cuttin evice of the character described, the com iination with a razor blade, of a toothed plate havin spring clips for engagement with said blade, an provided with an extension plate, an adjusti 0 late, adapted for engagement upon sai lilade, and adjustable elements connecting said adjusting plate and said extension plate for ad usting said razor blade upon said toothed plate, substantially as described.

2. In a hair cutting device of the character described, the combination with a raaor blade, of a toothed late having spring clips for holding said bla e, and provided with an extension plate, an adjustin plate adapted for engagement with said b ade, a tubular threaded nut locked with and extension plate,- and an adjusting screw operatmg through said tubular nut and rotatively connected to said adjusting plate for adjustini said razor blade upon said toothed plate, 10

an stantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
