694,093. Razors. GILLETTE SAFETY RAZOR CO. Dec. 10, 1948 [Dec. 11, 1947], No. 31991/48. Class 30 [Also in Group XVII] In a safety razor, in which clamping members secure a slotted blade on a blade seat, a blade-locating bar rising above the blade seat and projecting through the slot in the blade has a hooked formation at one end to engage the end of the blade slot to prevent disengagement of the blade from the bar during transfer of the blade from a container by relative separational movement of the container and the razor. As shown, the razor is of the kind described in Specification 430,030, the bladelocating bar 12 carried by a longitudinally movable spindle 13 being provided with or hook 24 which engages the slot 22 in a blade 21 partially ejected through the exit slot 18 of a magazine of the kind described in Specification 687,651, [Group XVII], and having a stack of blades arranged in staggered relation on a rib 25. The blade, partially ejected by finger pressure through the slot 17, is guided by a tongue 19 in the exit slot and separation of the razor and magazine is guided by the engagement of a groove 20 in the base of the magazine with the blade-locating bar 12. The spindle 13 is provided with a tapered head 13a so that the blade settles easily on the blade seat, the clamping members 14, 15, carried on a spider 23, being closed by means of the spindle 13 to transversely fix the blade ready for use.
Seems like its a patent for a system of inserting blades into the razor with less chance of cutting yourself while changing blades.
