COMBINED ELECTRIC RAZOR CASING AND CORD SUPPORT

Application October 25,1943, Serial No. 507,504

Claims.

My invention relates to a combined electric razor casing and cord support and the objects of my invention are:

First, to provide a combined electric razor casing and cord support in which the razor casing is so constructed that it forms a support for the electric cord used for operating the razor;

Second, to provide an apparatus of this class whereby the cord forms a cushion, for the razor casing and razor therein in case the razor casing falls or is dropped while the cord is wound thereon;

Third, to provide an apparatus of this class in which the general structure is applicable for various types of razors now in use with but slight changes;

Fourth, to provide an apparatus of this class in which the cover cap for protecting the cutting edge of the razor may be rigidly connected with one end of the cord while the other end of the cord may be rigidly connected with the razor operating motor in the casing and the cover cap forms an electric plug;

Fifth, to provide an apparatus of this class whereby the cord is easily started for winding on the casing,

Sixth, to provide an apparatus of this class whereby the razor casing, razor cutting edge guard, and electric conducting cord are always in their combined relation and ready for use either for storing the razor or for using the same;

Seventh, to provide an apparatus of this class which is very simple and economical of construction, easy to operate, efficient in its action and which will not readily deteriorate or get out of order.

With these and other objects in view as will appear hereinafter, my invention consists of certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions as will be hereinafter described in detail and particularly set forth in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the characters of reference thereon which f ornr a part of this application in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of my combined electric razor casing and cord support showing the cord fragmentarily and showing the razor cutting edge guard removed by dash lines; Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the razor cutting edge guard; and Fig. 3 is a fragmentary side elevational view of the razor casing omitting the cord.

Similar characters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the views of the drawing.

The casing I, cord 2, and razor cutting edge (Cl. 38—34) guard 3 constitute the principal parts of my combined electric razor, casing and cord support.

The casing I is preferably shaped as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing but may be of any simi5 lar conventional shaped razor casing, preferably provided in one end, being the end opposed to the cutting edge, with an opening la which extends upwardly in the casing in the conventional manner adapted to receive the electric conductor 10 cord 2 for the razor operating motor which is connected thereto in any conventional manner, being no part of my present invention.

The casing I is a provided with a groove ib which starts adjacent the opening la and ex15 tends around the small end of the razor casing in spiral-like form, as shown best in Mg. 1 of the drawing and is gradually in closer relation until the wire positioned therein is in substantial contact with the adjacent convolution of the 20 cord, as shown best in Fig. 2 of the drawing. It is preferred to have the cord of sufficient length to substantially cover the casing I In convolution form. To the opposite end of the cord 2 is connected a combined razor cutting edge guard 25 and an electric cord plug 3. This plug 3 is provided in one side with a recess 3a which conforms with the cutting edge of the razor casing which is arranged to fit snugly thereon. This member 3 is made of insulation material and em³⁰ bedded in the outer side thereof is a cup-like member 3b in which are supported the terminals 3c. The cord 2 is mounted in a slight depression 3d in the member 3 and the wire terminals 2a and 2b from the cord 2 are secured to ³³ the terminals 3c which are arranged to be pressed into electric light sockets.

Let it here be noted that the particular form of the support for the terminals 3c with the connection of the cord 2 with the guard 3 and with ⁴⁰ the razor casing 2 may be varied without departing from the essence of my invention.

The operation of my combined electric razor casing and cord support is substantially as follows:

When the razor is not in use, the guard 3 is positioned on the cutting edge of the razor casing, as shown in solid lines in Fig. 1 of the drawing. The cord is wound onto the casing 1 substantially the full length of the casing. When it is ⁵⁰ desired to use the razor the guard 3 is removed from the cutting edge and the cord unwound from the casing I. The terminals 3c are inserted into an electric wall or other like electric sockets and the razor is ready for use. When ⁵³ through with the razor the cord 2 is started near

9,383,031 the opening fa in the groove lb and wound in said groove until the convolutions of the cord come into contact one with another and then the cord is wound on the casing and the guard 3 pressed onto the cutting edge of the razor casing.
