To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Richard Kampfe, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at the borough of Brooklyn, county of Kings, city and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety-Razor Frames, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to safety-razor frames, more particularly to the blade clamping plates thereof, the object being to provide a clamp that will firmly hold a cutting blade in position in a frame therefor.
One of the main objects of my improvement is to provide a double locking mechanism for the blade.
To carry out the function of firmly doubly locking the blade in position, I provide a specially formed clamping, plate and a cooperating catch on the razor frame.
Other features of improvement will hereinafter appear.
I will now proceed to describe my invention in detail, the novel features of which I will finally claim, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Referring to the drawing, a safety-razor frame is indicated by
My improvement consists essentially of the clamping-plate
By referring to
When the frame
For the purpose of pressing the blade
By means of the herein described clamping plate
It frequently happens that, owing to an imperfect pivotal connection between the clamping-plates now in use, and the frame of the razor, the cutting blades will chatter, and it is one of the objects of my invention to provide a means that will obviate this objection. Owing to the resiliency of the catch
It will be seen by referring to
Having now described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A safety razor comprising a frame, a cutting blade carried by said frame, a clamping plate pivotally mounted on said frame, and contacting with said blade intermediate the top and bottom thereof, a resilient finger carried by said clamping plate overlapping the heel of said blade, said finger being provided with a concavity, said concavity receiving a portion of the outer surface of the heel of the blade, and locking means carried by said frame in engagement with said overlapping finger.
2. A safety razor comprising a frame, a cutting blade carried by said frame, a clamping plate pivotally mounted on said frame and contacting with said blade intermediate the top and bottom thereof, a resilient finger carried by said clamping plate overlapping the heel of said blade, said finger being provided with a concavity, said concavity receiving a portion of the outer surface of the heel of the said blade, and a resilient catch carried by said frame, in engagement with said finger.
Signed at New York city, N. Y., this 23d day of November, 1910.
Richard Kampfe.
