  • Patent number: 4305233
    Abstract: A device, for honing the axially-facing cutting edges of a rotary shaver cutter, has two parts which are rotatable one with respect to the other. Within one part there is disposed a frictional element abutted by the cutter so as to prevent relative rotation between the cutter and that part. The other part carries an abrasive abutted by the cutting edges of the cutter. At one end, the device has a first recess, on one part, which receives a finger or thumb tip, or an end of a holder, and is smooth for easy relative rotation. At the opposite axial end, the device has a second recess, on the other part, which receives a thumb or finger tip, or another end of the holder, and is formed to prevent relative rotation. The outer part has a circumferential surface adapted for frictional engagement with a running surface such as a table top.

  • Patent number: 4266705
    Abstract: A carrier, for holding the hook portion of one or more conventional garment hangers, includes a saddle with a bearing surface to receive the hanger hooks, one or more locking elements carried by the saddle member and movable to one position to overlie the bearing surface to retain hanger hooks therein and to another position in which hooks are freely engageable and removable, and a handle coupled to the saddle.

  • Patent number: 4238062
    Abstract: A carrier for garment hangers has a saddle member with a recessed support surface bounded at one end by an end portion and adapted to receive hanger hooks side by side. A locking device carried by the saddle member is movable into a first position co-operating with the saddle to prevent removal of hooks, and a second position spaced sufficiently from the end portion to leave a gap permitting removal of the hanger hooks. The carrier also has a handle coupled to the saddle. In a preferred embodiment, there are two diametrically opposed support surfaces, and a common rotatable locking member cooperates with both such that hooks may only be removed from one of them at any one time.
