Improvements in or appertaining to Razors.
Year: 1899

page_text: I, ALICE LISTER, of 12, Sackville Street, Skipton, in the County of York, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows, that is to say:-
-
It relates to improvements in or appertaining to razors whereby the
cutting edges of said razors' blades are securely protected while the liability of
one part of each handle being wrenched or forced from attachment to the other
part thereof by the turning back and pressing of the razor's blade between them
is entirely avoided.
To attain this object instead of the somewhat central binding pin or stay being
employed for binding the handle parts together as well as forming a stop piece for
the blade, I make use of projecting pieces which I secure to the inner walls of
each handle part in such a manner that they afford a suitable stop piece for the
blade when folded as ordinarily, while they are entirely free from each other, so
that on said blade being turned outwardly or in the opposite direction to that
before stated, should the back of said, blade be broader or thicker than the part
about its pivotal centre, said handle parts are free to yield and allow its being
turned back and not as heretofore, have to cause said parts to be severed from
their attachment together whenever the blade is turned as described.
The projecting pieces above described may be formed integrally with the handle
parts or they may be secured thereto in any desirable manner, or one projecting
piece alone may be employed to reach from one of the inner walls of the handli
parts to the other, but be attached to one of such inner walls only.

Improvements in or appertaining to Razors.
I, ALICE LISTER, of 12, Sackville Street, Skipton, in the County of York, də
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement, that is to
say:-
:-
It relates to improvements in or appertaining to razors whereby the
cutting edges of said razors' blades are securely protected, while the liability
of one part of each handle being wrenched or forced from attachment to the other
part thereof by the turning back and pressing of the razor's blade between them
is entirely avoided.

page_text: In the accompanying sheet of drawings which are illustrative of my said
invention:
-
Fig. 1 is a side view of a razor constructed in accordance with my said
invention.
Fig. 2 is a sectional end view of parts shown by Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of parts illustrated by Fig. 1 but with the blade removed.
Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig. 3 but illustrates a modification of my said
invention.
Similar letters and figures of reference indicate similar parts throughout the
several views.
To attain the object of my said invention instead of the somewhat centrally
disposed binding pin or stay being employed for binding the handle parts a and a¹
together as well as forming a stop piece for the blade b, I make use of projecting
pieces ce¹ which I secure to the inner walls a², a³ of the handle parts a, a¹ in
such a manner that they afford a suitable stop-piece for the blade b when folded
or closed, while they are entirely free from each other, so that on said blade b
being turned outwardly or in the opposite direction to that required when folding
or closing said blade b, should its back b₁ be broader or thicker than the part about
its pivotal centre d, said handle parts a a are free to yield and allow of its being
turned back and will not be broken by the excessive pressure on them as is the
case with those of ordinary construction.
The projecting pieces c c above described may be formed integrally with the
handle parts a a¹ or they may be secured thereto in any desirable manner such as
by rivetting, or one projecting piece c alone may be employed to reach from one
of the inner walls a² or a³ of the handle parts a a¹, to the other a³ or a², but be
attached to or formed integrally with one of such inner walls a, a¹ only, as shown
by Fig. 4.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. In combination with a razor, a stop-piece or stop-pieces as c c¹ formed or
constructed substantially as herein specified.
2. The improved razor handle constructed and arranged as herein specified, and
as shown by the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 6th day of January 1900.
ALICE LISTER.
