Specification of Letters Patent. Patented NOV. 28, 1911.
Appneauon. med may 4, 1911. serial No. 6255093.
To all whomfit mag/onoa-m Be it known that I, THEODOR G. THOMAS,
,a citizen of the-United: States of America,v
residing at Houston, inthe county of. Harris and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Smoothing-Irons, of'which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to smoothing irons, and has for `its primary object to provide an improved construction, combination, and arrangement of parts in devices of this character.
More specifically, an object of this/invention is to provide a smoothing tool with a' hollow transparent body adapted to contain heat producing incandescent lights of suliicient power to heat the transparent body, so that it may be used as a smoothing tool, While at the same time emitting light through the transparentbody to enable the operator to see clearly in a dark or illy lighted room. A very important advantage obtained is the prevention of any shadow whatsoever being cast upon the work.
Another object is to provide improved means for assemblinga plurality of incandescent electric lights in a smoothingtool constructed of lass, and improved means whereby said lig ts may be readily removed and replaced in-position.
Other and further objects will appear in the specification and be specifically pointed out in the appended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawin exemplifying the invention, and in whic Figure 1 is a pers ective view of a smoothin accordance with the principles of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section. through the same, seen from below.` Fi 3 is a section on line 111-111, Fig. 1. 1g. 4 is a perspective I view of the smoothing tool used as an llluminating body. Figs. `5 and 6 show other embodiments.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, and to the embodiment shown therein, my improved smoothing tool `comprises a hollow transparent' body 1, preferabl of any suitable glass, which will stan up under then heat, and a'cover plate 2 which is remova i, body 1v by means of screws 3 or other snitable fastenings. Secured to the cover' plate 2 is a handle 4 of non-conducting material whichis carried by'a ben't bar' which is ysecured to the hollow secured in any suitable manner at 6 to the cover plate 2. The cover plate2 is preferably made of suitable non-conducting material, and has projecting from its end face a plurality ofI incandescent light bulbs 7 which may be 'energized in any suitable manner, such asby electricwires 8 which pa'ss through the cover plate 2 and are connected up With the bulbs 7 in any suitable manner (not shown in the drawings).
The hollow transparentv body portion 1 is adapted to transmit light on all sides, as well as through the bottom ironing plate. In order to adapt it to be used as an illuminating means, only, the smoothing tool is provided with a perfectly flat end face 9, whereby it is adapted to be disposed on end, as shown in Fig. f1.
Preferably, the bottom of the smoothing tool is made of ground surface glass to adapt it to perform the functions of a llat iron; while', in order to avoid an annoying -f brightness to the operators eye, disposed above, the top or cover plate is preferably colored or stained, or otherwise made opaque. If deemed expedient, the bottom plate of the smoothing tool can be made yof iron, steel, or any other suitable metal, with only the lateral ,sides'transparenh thus securing the desired illumination.
The handle may be made detachable, if so desired; and may be of Wood, or othersuitable material, to avoid overheating of the same.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 5, the body of the smoothing tool is made of glass throughout, and when constructed, is made to form a vacuum,.within which, is disposed .the incandescent heating filament 10, which passes through a ,glass plug 11 projecting from the end wall lof the tool, and then throu h a plug 12 inthe to wall thereof. The filament 1s energized t rough electric wires 13, which pass through the plu 12 into the Vhollow interior of the smoot ing tool. By thus forming the body of the tool,
with a vacuum, the employment of separate incandescent bulbs isobviated, and 1f desired, the plug 12 can be made of suicient slze to rmit the filament 10 being renewed througlimthe lug hole. A v
In the em iment shown in Fig. 6, the filament wires 14 are arranged in circled loops, Vbeing supported at the pointed end of the tool by an insulating rejection 15, and at the flat end by an ting projection 16. These loops arey supported at the center by a depending insulator 17. The plug 18 with which the service wires 19 connect is adapted to fit into the socket 20 for supplying the necessary current of .electricity.
What I claim is:
l. A transparent smoothing tool having alight emitting element within it.
2. The combination with a hollow transparent smoothing tool, of` heat emitting lighting means therewithin.
3. The combination with a hollow transparent smoothing tool, of incandescent heat emitting lights installed therewithin.
4. In a device of the character described, the combination with a smoothing tool provided with transparent lateral walls, of a plurality of incandescent lights disposed within said tool. i
5. The combination with a hollow transparent smoothing tool body, open at the top, of a cover plate therefor, and a plurality of incandescent light bulbs depending from said cover plate into said body.
o 6. In a device of the character' described, the combination with a transparent hollow body open on one face, of a cover plate for said face, and heat emittinglighting elements secured to said cover plate.
7. In a device of the character described,
the combination with a transparent hollow body open on one face,of a cover plate for said face, and heat emitting lighting elements secured to said cover plate; said cover plate being 8. In a device of thecharacter described, the combination with a hollow transparent body open at the top, of an opaque cover plate therefor, a plurality of incandescent' ulbs depending from said cover plate,fand means for conveying electricity to said bulbs, and a handle mounted on Said cover plate.
9. In a device of the character described, the `combination with a hollow transparent body portion, of light emitting heating means contained within said hollow body; said hollow body being flat onone end to adapt it to be used as a lamp.
10. In a device of the character described, the combination with a hollow smoothing tool body provided with a transparent lbottom plate, said body being provided with a fiat end portion to' adapt it to sit upright, of a cover plate for said body portion, and a plurality of incandescent light bulbs projecting from said cover 'plate into said hollow body.
