SAFETY-RAZOR CASING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 759,475, dated May 10, 1904.

Application filed April 28,1903.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I,AUeUs'r WILLIAM Sensu- BER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety-Razor Casings, of which the, following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

My invention relates to a safety-razor casing or frame; and it consists of the combinations and parts hereinafter more particularly pointed out. It has heretofore been usual to construct a safety-razor frame with a casing proper and a blade-support pivoted or otherwise movably secured thereto and to provide said blade-support with blade-retaining clips and a catch for securing it to the casing proper.

In my present improvements one object has been to construct a frame wherein a catch proper for holding the blade support to the casing is unnecessary.

Another object has been to provide clips which are automatically moved into operative position when the blade-support is closed upon the casing, a third object to provide a casing wherein the blade-support normally tends to open itself, and a fourth object to provide a are automatically moved into operative posi- I tion by the closing of the blade-support upon the casing; Figs. 5 and 6, rear and top views of the modification having movable spring-actuated clips; Fig. 7 an end elevation of the lastmentioned modification; Fig. 8, a similar view to Fig. a, but showing the blade-support partly Serial No. 154,652. (No model.)

open. Figs. 9 and lOare fragmentary detailed viewsof parts hereinafter more particularly described' In the drawings, 1 represents the casing proper, to which is secured by any suitable means the handle 2. To this casingis pivoted at anysuitable point, as at 3, the blade-support 4, to which is movably secured the lip'5 idly secured to the said button, the other arm being provided with a slot inwhich the button moves, thereby permitting the vertical movement of the button, and thus the operation of the clips, as is clearly illustrated in Fig. 9, wherein the left-hand arm is the one provided with a slot.

In the modificationshown in Figs. 3 and 4 the blade-sumaort is provided 'at its back with a depending lingerll, adapted to contact with the stud or button 9. By this means the downward movement of the blade-support upon the casing automatically forces the clips over the edge of the blade-support into an operative position.

In the modification shown in Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8 the clips are pivoted to suitable projections 12 on the casing, a spring 13 hearing on the cam-surfaces 14, the spring being rigidly secured to the casing and serving to maintain the clips either in or out of operative position.

In Figs. 2, at, and8 I have shown a spring 15, which normally tends to force the bladesuppo'rt away from the casing; but in Fig. 7 the same effect is produced by placing the hinge as shown, the spring or elasticity of the material of the casing, in conjunction with the shoulders 16, tending to force the bladesupport away from the casing.

The operation of the device will be readily understood. The blade-support is normally forced away from the casing, the clips being spread apart to permit its movement. To insert the blade, the blade-support is pressed down upon the casing, the clips moved into operative position, (this being down automatically in the modification shown in Figs. 3 and 4,) and the lip 5 being swung back the blade may be readily inserted and held firmly in place by swinging forward the lip. It will be readily seen that any movement of the blade support toward or from the casing proper after the clips are in position varies the blade-receiving space, and the tendency of the blade-support to move away from the casing causes the blade to be held firmly be tween the support and clips, its forward-andbackward movement being limited by the usual stops and lip.

It is evident that many changes and modifications can be made from the structure shown in the drawings and described in this specification, and I do not limit myself to any particular form of device; but

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a safety-razor frame, the combination of a casing, a blade-support movably secured thereto and normally pressing upward, movable clips on said casing, and a lip for bearing against the rear of the blade on said blade-support, substantially as described.
