To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, David E. Goe, a citizen of the United States, residing at Madison, in the county of Dane and State of Wisconsin, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Safety-Razors, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to safety-razor blades and to mechanism for holding the blade while in use. Its object is to make such a razor and handle or holder which can be cheaply manufactured, which will be accurate and efficient in operation, and not liable to readily get out of order, and which can be easily cleaned and repaired.
My invention consists in a novel form of handle or holder adapted to have the blade mounted therein for the purpose of use, in means for securing the blade in the holder, and in many details which will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
Referring to the drawings,
In the construction of my improved device I provide a handle
I provide a blade-table
In the operation of the device the operator takes the blade-table and places upon it the blade
I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to exact detail construction, which may manifestly be varied within reasonable limits without departing from my invention.
The use of an arch, groove, projection, or corrugation on a safety-razor blade in combination with means for engaging the same for holding the blade in the holder forms the subject-matter of claims in my prior application, Serial No. 237,096, filed December 16, 1904.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is—
1. In mechanism of the class described, the combination of a blade-holder consisting of a tubular member having a slot running lengthwise thereof and a blade-table, on which the blade is adapted to rest, on one edge of the slot of said holder.
2. In mechanism of the class described the combination of a blade-holder consisting of a tubular member, having a slot running lengthwise thereof, and a blade-table, on which the blade is adapted to rest, slidably engaging one edge of said slot of said holder.
3. In mechanism of the class described, the combination of a tubular holder having a slot running lengthwise thereof, a blade-table, on one edge of said slot, having a notch or depression on its upper face, in which the other edge of said slot is adapted to fit.
4. In mechanism of the class described, the combination of a tubular holder having a slot running lengthwise thereof, a blade-table slidably mounted on one edge of said slot and having a notch or depression in its upper face, in which the other edge of said slot is adapted to fit.
5. In mechanism of the class described, the combination of a blade-holder, consisting of a tubular member having a longitudinal slot running lengthwise thereof, a blade-table, on which the blade is adapted to rest, engaging one edge of the slot of said holder, a notch on the opposite side of said table under the opposite edge of said slot in the holder, and a razor-blade adapted to fit on said table, having a rib or corrugation on its surface, engaging said notch in the table, and engaged and held in place by the edge of the slot of the holder substantially as described.
6. In mechanism of the class described the combination of a blade-holder consisting of a tubular member, having a longitudinal slot therein in which the razor-blade is adapted to be slipped and held, a handle having a head engaging one side of the holder, a shank on the handle passing through the holder, and engaging the opposite side of the holder, and screw-threads at one point of contact of the shank and holder whereby rotating the handle in one direction compresses the holder to close its slot.
7. In mechanism of the class described, the combination of a blade-holder consisting of a tubular member having a longitudinal slot therein, in which a razor-blade is adapted to be slipped and held, a handle having a head bearing against one side of the holder, and a shank on the handle passing through the holder and engaging the opposite side thereof in screw-threads, whereby by rotating the handle the holder is compressed and the edges of the slot are drawn together.
In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
David E. Goe.
