I, JOSEPH LISTER, of 12 Sackville Street, Skipton, in the County of York
Hairdresser do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in razors, and has for its object
the prevention of the cutting edge of same becoming damaged when the blade is in
the act of being closed into the handle.
I accomplish my object by securing the two halves together forming the
handle, in such a manner that more space is left between same for the razor blade
to enter without any liability of same coming in contact with the handle aud
damaging the "
edge" of the razor as is the case with those of the ordinary
description.
In order to prevent the blade from passing too far through the handle, I insert
in any suitable position a stud, which on closing the razor comes in contact with
the "tail" of the razor blade and prevents the cutting edge of the razor from
protruding through the handle.

I, JOSEPH LISTER of 12, Sackville Street, Skipton, in the County of York,
Hairdresser, do 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 :-
This invention relates to certain improvements in razors and has for its object
the prevention of the cutting edge of the same becoming damaged when the blade
is in the act of being closed into the handle.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will describe the same in
detail by making reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a side view of a razor constructed according to my invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of same, having the blade removed, and
Fig. 3 is a section through line a. b. in Fig. 1.
The two halves A. A. forming the razor handle are secured together by the
rivets B. B. somewhat in the ordinary manner, but having a distance piece C.
placed between same which prevents the said halves A. A. from coming too close
together, thereby leaving more space D. between same than hitherto, whereby the
blade E. may be closed into the handle without any liability of the "edge
becoming damaged by coming in contact with the handle as is the case with razors
constructed as hitherto.
"
In order to prevent the blade E. from passing too far through the handle in

page_text: consequence of additional space D. being left between the two halves A. A. of the
handle, I insert in the position somewhat as shewn, a stud F. supported by an
additional rivet F1 in such a manner that on closing the razor, the "tail" E' of
blade E. comes in contact with said stud F. which acts as a stop and prevents the
cutting edge of the blade from protruding through the handle.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
The distance piece C. and stud F. in combination with the two halves A. A. of
the razor handle, arranged substantially in the manner and for the purpose as
herein before described.
